Part 20

Within a few minutes, a hovering noise can be heard outside the library. The Enclave officer turned around to face the Paladins, with a grin on his face, and said "looks like our ride is here." Two Enclave soldiers poked their gun behind the paladins backs as they were forced onboard the vertibird.

An hour later, the vertibird had reached Raven Rock. It was nearly invisible to the outside as the base was covered by the rocks and only a handful of metal doors were exposed to the exterior of the base. The vertibird flew over and landed on the landing spot on the top of the base. the enclave officer walked out of the vertibird, behind him was the two paladins, followed by the Enclave soldiers. They walked down the stairwells and reached level 3 of the military base. the hallways are lit with bright lights and hologram projections, the level was filled with rooms and corridors, and in every corner, there would be an armed enclave soldier. The whole military base was heavily guarded. They took a turn to the right and reached the holding cells' block, the enclave officer typed a password on the door panel, and the heavy metal door swung downwards and opened. Within the room there was nothing but a white table and two chairs. And at the end of the room, there was a force field prison cell. The enclave officer said to the enclave soldiers "put HER in the prison cell". "you are not fucking touching me" Nikita barked. She was replied with a strike to the face with the butt of the plasma rifle. She moaned in pain as she was dragged to the prison cell and be locked in. "and handcuff him to the chair" an enclave soldier dragged Parker to the chair and handcuffed him to the chair. Parker did not put up a fight, mainly complied.

Then the enclave officer sat at the chair opposite Parker and asked him, "the code please." Parker paused and avoided the officer's cold eye contact. Parker hesitated and stuttered "what…what code?" and he was hit in the face by the enclave soldier next to him. Blood ran from Parker's nose . and the officer said slowly but steadily "the code for the Citadel's main entrance. Tell me." "I don't know what you are talking abo…" and he was smashed with another fist to the face. "Look, give me the code and you and your comrade can be freed. Play games with me, and I will personally make sure that you two will face a fate worse than death." Parker remained silent; his jaw was shaking with fear as he stuttered after a long pause "I won't tell you… anything." The officer threw his arm in the air and exhaled in disbelief, "well then my friend, you brought this… on her" he nodded to the enclave soldier near the prison cell. The soldier pulled a lever on the wall and electric shock was send directly within the force field prison, shocking Nikita as she screamed in pain.

"NO! you bastards! Let her go!" shouted Parker. The officer looked at him and said "it is you that is making her suffer, not us." The electric shock continued to shock Nikita as Parker became more nervous with each passing seconds. Then Nikita screamed at Parker "YOU DON'T TELL HIM NOTHING! You hear me!? Arghhhh!NOTHING!" the officer gave the soldier a signal, and the enclave soldier pulled the lever higher, and the electricity shocks increased in powers, and started to burn Nikita's skin. Nikita could no longer scream, but shake uncontrollably. Tears and sweat came out from Parker's face as he sees hi comrade at the edge of dying. "STOP THIS! STOP IT! I WILL TALK! JUST STOP IT! PLEASE! I AM BEGGING YOU!" Parker pleaded the officer. After seeing this, the enclave officer quickly gave a signal to the soldier, and he lowered the lever completely. Then, the officer turned back to his cold tune and asked "the code. Please."
