A/N: I know some of you were concerned about this chapter, but let me tell you it is still K+. There is no blood, gore, and there is little violence. I just wanted to let you all know that in advance.

They were all brought to the torture room and chained to the one wall by Black Sun thugs. On the opposite wall, a door opened and Tasha walked in.
"This is just great." Dengar muttered.
"I'm working on it." Embo growled, straining against the cuffs in an attempt to break them.
Brute paced dramatically in front of them several times before stopping in the middle. He stroked his beard thoughtfully, eyeing them all.
"That one first." He ordered, pointing at Embo. The thugs grabbed him and brought him over to a table with shackles on it. Once he was cuffed to the table, Brute walked over.
"Now you could make this simple and tell me what you were doing here." Brute said, picking up a sharp looking object. Embo stayed silent.
Brute frowned and grabbed a syringe filled with glowing red liquid from a table of many syringes filled with the same liquid. He walked back over to where Embo was.
"This is a rare substance. When injected into your veins, it will bring back all the bad memories from your past. This small amount lasts for about five minutes." Brute explained.
He injected the stuff into Embo and it looked like he fell asleep. The room went silent. Sugi looked concerned at her friend. Occasionally Embo would stiffen or make an odd whimpering noise. Really, it just looked like he was having a bad dream. Five minutes later, he woke up again, panting.
"Why were you planning to take down Black Sun?" Brute asked, grabbing Embo's throat.
"STOP!" Sugi yelled. "We have no clue what you're talking about!"
Brute hand signaled the thugs to bring Embo back to the wall. He walked over to where Sugi was, stopping a foot away, and looked at her in a sketchy manor.
"You will be useful, one way or another." Brute stated, grabbing Latts from her shackles and dragging her over to the table. Cuffing her to the table, he grabbed another syringe.
"I know all your weaknesses." He said to them all. Latts gave him a questioning look.
"Let's just say," Brute said. "Torturing you will also torture someone else." He finished, turning around to look at Dengar. He looked back at the syringe and, after thinking, placed it down.
"I have a better idea." Brute said, smiling.
Latts felt suddenly calm. She hadn't realized how handsome Brute was, all she wanted to do was make him happy. Suddenly she knew what was going on, he was using his Falleen pheromones to manipulate her mind. But the realization came too late, she was already under its influence. She was like a prisoner in her own body and all she could do was watch.
"Why were you attacking us?" Brute asked politely, undoing her cuffs on the table. Latts sat up, trying to urge herself to run, but she had lost control of all her muscles.
The other bounty hunters jaws practically dropped to the floor. They had no idea why their friend was just sitting there.
"You attacked us first." Latts stated, answering Brute.
"True, but what were you planning to do in the control room?" He asked.
"Set off the self-destruct button." Latts answered.
"Ah, the self-destruct. Thank you for cooperating." Brute said, as the thugs dragged her back to the wall. And Brute's influence was out of her.
"Bring them back to the prison." Brute ordered to his thugs. "I am finished with them."
