"The GRIMS are now bringing the three suspects in the interrogation room. Would you like to interrogate one of them yourself?" offered Wraith as he was standing in the dark room where the first suspect is sitting idly in the interrogation room; looking quite nervous because sweat was already running down from his brow and he was tapping the table frantically.
Hidan shook his head, "No thanks, I'm not really good with…interrogating in the normal method."
"Hmm, I can see your point. I can imagine that you would be pounding his head on the table until he gives in?"
Hidan nodded "Precisely."
"Then I'll handle the talk. If he doesn't cooperate then I'll allow your kind of method." Wraith exited the room, leaving his nephew with his wife in the dark room. There was also someone else who was monitoring the computer as it was filming the interrogation.
Hidan and Thanerah looked at the suspect just as Wraith entered the room while holding a thick file of the suspect. Thanerah asked Hidan, "Don't you think this is the one? He looks quite nervous."
"Maybe, maybe not. We're not so fucking sure, Tha. And I don't know if this will help, but I feel like hitting somebody."
"When this guy doesn't cooperate with Wraith, you'll get the opportunity to do so."
Hidan murmured to her as he crossed his arms on his chest. After a moment, Thanerah heard her cell ringing in her pocket. Hidan asked while she reached her phone, "Who the fuck is that?"
Thanerah looked at the name and answered, "It's my brother." She answered the phone, "What's up?"
"Nothing much, but I was wondering where you are? Haven't seen you in a while. What are you doing right now?"
"Sorry, brother but I'm doing some business with Hidan. It's a private matter."
"Right…Then I'll see you for dinner?"
"Sure."
They both hung up. Hidan asked her out of his curiosity. "What the fuck did he say?"
"Nothing big if that's what you mean. He's coming over for dinner."
Hidan sighed heavily, "He better not ruin my appetite tonight."
"You got to be fucking kidding me…" mumbled Hidan as he stared at his uncle in disbelief.
He shook his head with a heavy sigh as he walked around his desk, dropped the three thick files of the suspects and dropped himself on his arm chair. "I know, but it's true. They are innocent. Three of them. I went through their minds during the talk without them realizing. Sadly, they were telling the truth."
"But Uncle, do you know where the codes were sent to? In any way that it's to the Natoku?"
"I've tried tracking down the codes myself but I can't find them. Maybe they got lost or something."
"Codes can't simply just disappear out of the fucking blue."
"I know, I'll give the job to the experts to find the code. Maybe they can find something…" he mumbled under his breath.
Thanerah was waiting outside the office while leaning against the wall. She told her husband that she needed some air. She heard someone coming from down the hall so she looked to see a girl who was holding thick files. She's also quite pretty with a slender look, but she also looked like the private type.
Suddenly, she dropped her things by accident and she cursed under her breath before she kneeled down to collect the things. Thanerah immediately went to her aid and asked, "Mind if I help?"
"O-Oh, not at all." She replied with a kind smile.
As they collected, Thanerah saw a small glimpse of something in her palm; a familiar marking but it was hidden by her long sleeves. The girl saw Thanerah looking at it so she quickly covered her hand and quickly stood up as the things were back in her grasp.
"I'm sorry, but I don't believe we met. I'm Nathel." She introduced herself to Thanerah.
Thanerah nodded, "Please to meet you…" She was more aware of the mark in her palm, she wondered if she had seen that before but she can't place where she saw it, but it was positively familiar. Thanerah asked Nathel, "I've never seen you before. Do you work here?"
"I do. I'm Lord Wraith's assistant."
"Shouldn't assistants be monitoring to whoever intends to see Wraith?"
"Yes, but he prefers me to work with the data and his time line. Important things but he doesn't have the time to finish them all."
"Sounds like a lot of work."
"Yes it is, but I don't mind. I got used to it for so many years."
"Are you a Jashinist?"
"Not fully like you. I'm just a civilian. I'm not really good at fighting." She looked around nervously then quickly said to Thanerah, "I-I'm sorry, but I have to go. Right now." She nodded off and quickly walked away from Thanerah down the corridor. Could she walk any faster?
Thanerah found it strange just as the office doors were opened by her husband. They closed behind him and he saw Thanerah's stare at the down corridor. "Babe, what the fuck are you looking at?"
Thanerah glanced at her husband and mumbled "I think I know who our traitor is…"
Nathel sighed softly in relief when she lost sight of that woman. She stopped when she felt a buzzer from her phone so she pulled it out to read the message.
Did she find out?
Nathel replied, No, she didn't.
Good. Now get those files ASAP. Or else
That was the end of the small conversation. Nathel put her phone away and was going to walk again but she hit someone instead. "Wh-!" She was cut off when she saw that it was the General and he wasn't looking pleasant.
"What the fuck are you doing, you traitor bitch?"
Nathel opened her mouth but she felt a hand landed on her shoulder, "You're coming with us." Nathel glanced over her shoulder to see the woman from before. "You've converted to the Natoku, haven't you?"
Nathel looked surprise but smirked. Suddenly a black force was around her and it jerked Thanerah and Hidan out. Thanerah landed on the ground hard on her back and she groaned in pain. She glared at Nathel who was being consumed by black power while her eyes were turning red.
Hidan landed on his feet when he was pushed back and he quickly pulled his weapon. He quickly charged at her but she disappeared when he took a strike at her with his scythe. He looked confused until he was kicked from behind. He stumbled forward but glare at Nathel over his shoulder.
Thanerah summoned her Krystol and stabbed her Krystol hand on the ground so it could spread to Nathel. It quickly tied her down and she struggled greatly to escape but she was finally tied down and the mysterious black power disappeared entirely from her body.
Hidan let out a small sigh of relief and put his weapon back on his back. He turned to his wife, "Nice work, babe."
Thanerah grinned but she didn't relax while binding Nathel down with her Krystol. "Call your uncle. We got out traitor."
"Nicely done." Complimented Odan as he stared at Wraith's ex-assistant in the interrogation room with an interrogator since Wraith would probably kill her if he did interrogate her.
Hidan said to his father, "Don't thank me. Thank my wife."
Odan just ignored him and continued to watch the interrogation. Thanerah was looking through Nathel's phone to see if she could find a link to her contacts but there was no name but a number. Thanerah quickly went to the nearest available computer and plugged the telephone inside.
Hidan saw what she was doing so he walked to her and stood behind her stool. "What are you doing?" he asked her softly as he looked at the desktop. Thanerah was getting inside the phone to track down a line through the number of the contact.
"I'm trying to track down her contacts."
"Why should you? She's already being interrogated. There's no need for that shit."
"She could be lying, Hidan. You may never know."
"Sweetheart, the interrogator has a strong kinetic mind to go through her brain to get the real fucking information."
"But what if the information in her mind is something that they wanted us to see? She's only half a civilian, she's not a fighter."
"And how the fuck did you know that?" he asked her wryly.
"She told me before I know that she was the one."
"And you fucking believed her?"
Thanerah shrugged her shoulders and finally found the link to the contact, "Found it."
Hidan's eyes widened when he saw where it was coming from, "It's from the Zeus Cannon…"
"And I know only one person who would do ANYTHING to fire it."
"Pierce."
