Ch.3: Opening statements and Interrogation
Kent was unconscious before Kowalski was ever let into the room.
He was strapped in his seat, bound tightly with cuffs and chains. From his feet to his wrists he was unable to move them. It was no sooner that Doctor Doctor stepped inside the interrogation room that Kent forced his eyes open.
His eyes parted open to reveal his employer staring straight into his deceiving face. Her fingers were running through Kent's crew cutted hair. "why is that every time I turn my back I feel as though I'm surrounded by traitors?"
Kent smacked his lips trying to answer her, but the words never were able to leave his throat.
"Was it because I've been too generous." her fingers were now tracing his sweaty jaw line. Her fingernails sharp to the touch. Kent flinched his head whenever she scratched along his cheeks. Doctor Doctor could just about capable of anything at this moment. "have you gained feelings for your comrades stationed at U.Z.Z.?" her voice becoming quite deep.
"No, Doctor Doctor," he coughed. "no, not at all, I was doing it to protect the base."
"For a minute I thought you felt sorry for her." Doctor Doctor shrugged. Swinging her hips from side to side, nonchalantly said. "this agent must have meant something to you. If it's all the same then I'd like to make some use of her."
Kent's heart dropped to his stomach. "nothing like that, but Victor and Anita's bound to come back for her."
"I know," Doctor Doctor responded sympathetic to his claim. "but they'll be after the secret thing as well, and you know what that means." she said in a sing song voice.
"What," Kent whispered.
The dictator swung her hands around wriggling her fingers mocking a puppeteer that was controlling a marionette. "can you guess," she winked at Kent who became extremely silent.
"Answer," she demanded.
"You're going to use, Kowalski?" Kent replied sure of his answer. He nodded his head in conjunction to Doctor Doctor.
"Yes, you are correct." Doctor Doctor congratulated him on his deductive prowess. Doctor Doctor snapped her fingers signaling the next step to her diabolical scheme.
The iron metal door flew open exposing two cue balled henchman throwing Kowalski into the room.
The young woman fell to the floor, body spread across the concrete listlessly trying to move. He could just hear the soft murmuring begging for someone to help her. Kowalski would just have to do this herself, until Kent could think of another plan. Sure, he was in charge of information regarding the secret thing. It was his duty to make Doctor Doctor held that secret thing.
He wanted it bad enough, but he guessed at the same time. He had some feelings that wanted to keep. It was the U.Z.Z. part of him that wanted his teammates safe at the same time. But Doctor Doctor was proving that he could not have both.
Doctor Doctor walked up to Kowalski.
Squatting down on the floor, she brought her face to the agent's ear. Her hot breathes Kowalski could feel blowing on her cold face. "now dear," she cooed. "are you with me or against me?"
Ashley was the first agent seated on her sky bike. Her hands were tightly squeezing the bars of the vehicle. "this is first time we ever get to meet Doctor Doctor," her teeth were clenched with a smile curling on her lips. "
Scott rolled his eyes. "let's just get this over with."
Todd only chuckled at Ashley she was too young to understand such things.
Ray had just plopped on the seat of his skybike amidst the conversation. "all right," he warned. "I'm not going to say this will be easy, but..."
"But this task is going to get us killed, isn't it?" Ashley's back was straightened, crossing her arms trying to give a dignified answer.
"No, he was going to say this was going to be a cake walk," Scott tried to override the melodramatic mood Ray was going to set.
Ray rolled his eyes. "that's not the point." to his dismay he could see why Scott was getting frustrated.
Ashley's only crime was trying to help at the cost of the other agents lives. Though they were only injured. He could get the feeling that Scott could not feel safe around someone like that.
"Calm down you two," Todd shouted.
"He started it," Ashley muttered.
Grunting out of frustration Ray relaxed his shoulders. "I am asking for cooperation. You either settle your differences or I'll be forced to reprimand both of you." whirling his head to the two agents that were obviously in a grudge match.
They immediately quit their quarrel obeying the direct command that was given to them.
Ray nodded his head in respect. "we must trust each other now as we ever should before."
"You will you trust me?" Ashley asked to Scott.
Scott held his arm out stiffly waiting for her to shake his hand. "sure, why not. Just be careful out there."
Ashley gripped it warmly promising that no harm would come to pass.
"Now let's get out there and show'em what U.Z.Z. are made out of," Ray hollered with his agents giving fanfare of cheers amidst his sentence he yelled.
