Hi, this is got torture *yay* but nothing gruesome or anything *Aww* because I'm terrible at violence as I'm like 'There was blood and some more end' °~°

P.S I don't know if you have seen the hints about Privates parents that are in this and earlier chapters but if not, it doesn't matter.

I don't own Penguins Of Madagascar, DreamWorks and Nickelodeon do.

Private woke up dazed and looked at his surroundings of grey walls and floor. "Ugh, where am I?" he winced in pain as he spoke as his throat felt like sandpaper. Slowly, he tried to pull his hands to his face but to soon realized they were strapped to a chair. He looked down to see his feet strapped as well. 'Think positive, at least I haven't been dumped in a ditch.' Private thought of all the stuff that would happen to him but the door opening brought him back.

" Ah, I see you've woken up." A tall man in a suit walked to him with two guards following. Private noticed the British accent of the man looking smug. " My name is Mason, and today you are going to answer the questions we give you, alright?". Mason leaned forward to the bounded boy waiting for a response.

"Why of course, it's not like I have something to hide." Private said it in the most sickly sweet voice he could, as a small grin pulled at his lips. Mason laughed "Ow, don't worried you will." and with that he turned heel and walked out, saying to the guards to proceed.

Mason went to meet the Penguins in the room to watch the 'questioning' and sat down with the look of excitement in his eyes. The guards started by asking his name to be answered with Private. When Private didn't tell his real name the guards got out a metal stick hooked up to a box. The guards asked again but got no answer, so they turned the box on and electricity went through the metal. Private tensed up with a blank expression on his face, showing no sign of fear as the metal came towards him.

"Arrr, ahhh!" Private bit his lip as he lowered his head when bolts of electricity burned his skin and sped all over his body.

Mason laughter fill the room but the Penguins just looked in pity for the kid as they heard his groans of pain. Rico normally got excited by these sort of things, but he didn't know what it was about the kid that made him want to protect him. All watched as the kid still didn't break from the electricity.

As Private let his head hang, the guards asked more question.

" So, these plans you stole, where are they." Private gave an unnerving smile and shook his head. The guards were puzzled by the boy' s smile but continued by getting a whip out. Private sat still as well as quite, only flinching and yelping when the whip hit him. It looked like Private had blocked out all the shouted questions at him as he sat there, blood seeping through his t-shirt and dropping down his face. One guard stared at Private then suddenly slapped him across the face real hard. Private lifted his head back and groaned to be replaced with a scream as he was kicked in the shoulder and felt it pop. He squeezed his eyes shut while his nails dug into the chair as tears escaped his baby blue eyes. Private would have looked adorable as his silent tears fell, if not for all the blood on him.

Mason looked unimpressed as Private still kept his mouth shut through the hole thing. Suddenly, Mason told the guards to quit it and take him to his cell for the time being. He announced for a meeting in ten minutes then walked away less than pleased.

Private was walking with two large guards by his side to his cell. As he walked down the corridors he noticed a room full of computers, which made his face light up as he carried on walking. When they got to the cell he was pushed in to land on his face while hearing laughter behind him as the door closed.

" Home sweet home." Private sat up and closed his eyes for a night full of treating his wounds or at least trying to.

Mason, Phil and the Penguins were all in a meeting room discussing the matter at hand. " Im sorry Mason, but there isn't anything on the kid. It's like the kid was never born." Kowalski rose from the computer and turned to the others.

" Mm, the kid has to have or know someone who can wipe his history clean." Everyone thought about Skipper' s theory and agreed but that didn't tell them who he was. After many cups of coffee and researching the meeting was dismissed.

"Ah, Phils right, everyone get a good nights sleep as we are going to be busy tomorrow to try and get the kid to talk." Both Phil and Mason walked out then the Penguins soon followed to head to their rooms.

" Lights out in ten, boys." The replies were either a grunt or a yes as everyone got ready in to P.J' s, then literally flopped onto their beds.

" Come on, come on, nearly ther- ah ha, got it!" Private jumped up from picking the lock on the door, then opened it a jar just so he could see out. Once sure that the coast was clear, he glided through the corridors in the shadows. When he was sneaking around he saw a computer room from earlier and it was an opportunity not to be missed. 'Well if I get the information about my parents I could use it as evidence, and steal some top secret plans while I'm at it.' Private decided there was more benefits to go and find out, so he did. As he made sure to be quite, he sat in front of a screen to hack himself in which was easy for him. As he sat in the dark room, he searched through files and finally can to a file name Tux. "Now to bring down Z.E.R.O for all they've done." And with that, Private click on the file that filled the screen up. Determination on his face slowly slid off to be replaced with sadness. " No, no it can't be true, but then again all those things they did to me...why wouldn't they do it to others..." He trailed off at the last words and sunk his head into his hands. Tears fell. His heart broke. Suddenly, his hands clenched up and the expression on his face turned into anger and hate. He stood up and smashed the screen that relieved some anger but he needed to get it all out his system. With out wasting a second, he headed for a room that had punch bags that he saw when walked to his cell.

" Those lying bastards, they used me all this time!" Private was punching a punch bag with all his anger that builded up. "I can't believe it was the other way round, that my parents were cold blooded villains and Z.E.R.O were trying to protect people.". He gave a round house that was pretty hefty. He gave out a fake laugh "Ha! The Dr Blowhole guy was properly using me, I mean he's just a villainous scum bag like my parents!". By now, as he wasn't wearing gloves, his hands were purple and one or two fingers were broken, but he didn't care and kept on punching and kicking.

" I can't believe they gave secret information of agents and plans out which lead to the agents being killed if they were undercover! Hu, bit like me stealing the weapon plans, no I'm not like them.". Private decided that he was going to help Z.E.R.O but first he was still angry.

At the door to the room Private was in, stood the Penguins, Mason and Phil all in awe at the boy. Slowly, the Penguins walked to Private with Mason and Phil trailing behind. Kowalski noticed the boy's hands and frowned in concern. By now, Private had noticed their presence and let them know by asking what they want. Mason and Phil just watched the kid' s moves that were pretty impressive and looked very painful if you were the target. Skipper asked what was wrong as he placed a hand on Private' s shoulder to stop him punching.

" Ha! Well maybe the fact is that everything I knew was a lie.". Before anyone could reply, Kowalski insisted that he treated Private' s wounds. When everyone agreed with Kowalski, he took Private away from the room with only Skipper and Rico following him.

Private stared at the lab he was in. Everywhere there was bottles, liquids, blueprints and inventions just dotted around. He looked down to see Kowalski fixing his hands and other wounds from questioning, while the other two stood next to Kowalski, just looking at Private. When Kowalski was done, he gave a friendly smile to Private who tried to give one back, but it was obvious he was sad and depressed. Kowalski stepped back a little from Private to give him space, but to only be filled with Skipper as he stepped in front of the kid.

"So, how did you get out?" Skipper had a blank expression while his azure eyes pierced right through Private.

"Um, I picked the lock." Private scuttled back when Skipper gave him a wide smirk. Skipper then asked why he didn't escape when he could of, only to be replied with I got a wrong to right.

"How did you get our plans from our data base?" Skipper' s eyes were full of curiosity as he awaited for an answer.

" I hacked your system, that's all.". Private laughed at the surprised looks of all three men. Kowalski asked how he could of hacked such an advanced system technology, like theirs. Private just said he is excellent when it comes to computers and hacking. While Kowalski was scribbling down notes at the new found information, Rico looked in awe at the kid, but Skipper grinned and asked why he would take the weapon plans and why he has no history.

" Well, I took the plans to give to Dr Blowhole to destroy you, and let's just say everyone has a skeleton in their closet, and I don't want mine to be found." Everyone was quite and just stared at Private in disbelief until Rico said Blowhole. Private just looked confused that they were shocked when he said Dr Blowhole.

"Please tell me you didn't give him the plans Private." It seemed like he was pleading as he slid his hand through his black hair in frustration.

"Uh, no. I haven't even heard back from him never mind giving him the plans." All three men instantly relaxed and sighed.

The Penguins and Private were all in the meeting room with Mason and Phil, as Private agreed to hack into Blowhole' s system to see where Blowhole himself will be. After ten minutes of sitting in front of the computer, Private had found out that tomorrow a shipment of weapons was ment to be picked up at the docks, and Blowhole was going to be there in person.

After Kowalski had made up a plan, Skipper ordered all his men to hit the hay as they needed everyone to be well rested. When Rico and Kowalski had left, Mason, Phil and Skipper looked at Private. First, Mason asked how could they trust him and not know if he is pretending he has changed.

"Well I kinda thought you were the bad guys, but then I hacked into some files and found out some people I knew... lied to me about you people.". Private looked down in shame then handed them a pen drive that he said was all the plans and ideas of weapons he stole." Ow, and I ' might of smashed on of your computers...maybe." Mason just glared at him then shook his head as he deleted all the contents of the pen drive. All three men agreed that they would give the kid a chance at which Private' s face lit up as he thanked them.

"Alright soldier, you go and get some rest as your coming with us tomorrow but you will stay in the car, you comprend?" Skipper gave a stern look to show he was serious at which Private just nodded and left to go to bed. Skipper and the other two men also went their separate ways for the night after finishing a few things, which was lots of boring black and white paperwork.

Drinking coffee, Skipper walked down the corridors to then notice a door open. Slowly he made his way to the door and peaked in to be greeted with the sight of a sleeping Private. He looked over his body and saw the bandages under his T-shirt that Kowalski did when in the lab, as he lay on the floor of the cell.

'Well I can't leave him to sleep on the floor, he has going on a mission with us tomorrow.' Skipper silently chuckled to himself on how he had a soft spot for Private, and there was no use in denying it to himself anymore . Carefully, he scooped the sleeping kid in his arms while still holding his coffee,and continued his way to his quarters.

Seeing that they had two bunk beds so having four beds, Skipper placed Private under his bed on the bunk then climbed up to his. As Skipper got ready he looked across the room to see this other soldiers muttering Doris or kaboom in their sleep. He smiled at his friends then he gazed at the soldier below him, then his heart just melted. There lay Private, curled in a ball with a slight tint of pink on his cheeks. He was in his dream land; a place where he was happy and wanted, not hated.
