"C-Corpse...please let m-me go-" he pleaded, looking almost frail against the Pirate.

"Not a chance pretty-boy"

Corpse's grip tightened which made Sykkuno squeak,

"LET HIM GO" Rae screamed, struggling against the boot that was now planted in the small of her back. Corpse just chuckled and grabbed Sykkuno's hand, pulling him down the hall and into a storage room. Corpse locked the door behind him and stared at the boy in green with an indescribable look in his eyes.

"W-Why are we here?" Sykkuno backed against the wall and fell into into some boxes to get away from the Pirate.

"Hey, calm down I just wanted to talk" His voice changed from before, softer and less raspy slightly. Sykkuno's eyes widened as he made a realization.

"Agoraphobia..." Corpse's mood flipped, caught off guard he slammed Sykkuno against the wall and the metallic swoosh of a knife didn't go unnoticed.

"So you're aiming for blackmail then...what do you want and how much do you know? Who do you really work for?" The Pirate almost growled and pressed the blade against the pizza boy's throat who gasped but didn't move

"Blackmail?! I-I just work for the pizza delivery service, I mean I had military training when I was younger but I never really paid attention in class so I don't-"

"I didn't ask for your life story kid, what else do you know? And give me a reason why I shouldn't kill you right now" he snarled, pushing Sykkuno to the wall further

"Scary..." Sykkuno's whispered, shaking like a leaf, his eyes started to get clouded with tears.

"Huh?" Corpse was still angry but fading fast, a pain in his chest beginning to build.

"Please don't hurt me...I didn't ask for any of this, the pizza is probably cold and I'll have to make it all over again. Look, I just want to go back to my friends, you're scaring me" The Pirate looked sad, his eyes hurt.

"I-I scare you..?" For the first time in a long time, someone had gotten under Corpse's skin and what Sykkuno had said really hurt his pride. The boy nodded, crying harder.

He got a glimpse of the pirate's stricken expression, almost like he had just been stabbed.

It's like I'm the one at fault.. He thought to himself and pushed Corpse gently away from him. Sykkuno slipped into the hallway without a sound.

Why did he seem so hurt by that, I kind of feel bad now..

As he got back, he could tell from the state of things that utter chaos ensued while he was away, most of their equipment and possessions had been stolen or destroyed and all his crew mates were still being guarded by people with guns.

"Oh Jesus, what happened to you guys?!" His hand covered his mouth out of habit and he looked around the room in horror. The barrel of a gun pressed into his back and Sykkuno turned his head slightly to see  the small woman before looking very upset and bothered by his presence.

"What business does our leader even have with you huh? You're not even cute" She jested

"Okay well that's just rude, I wasn't even talking to you-"

"GET ON THE GROUND OR I SHOOT" this small woman was starting to seem unhinged to everyone, including Corpse's underlings. They all looked at her disdainfully as she began to laugh, waving the gun around like it was a toy and most definitely not a real, very dangerous weapon.

Corpse appeared out of the hallway, still brooding from the blow administered by Sykkuno, but he paused when he saw what was happening.

"We're done here. Have we got the information needed?" He looked over to Felix who stared down at his tablet before giving him a thumbs up. His gaze met Michelle who grinned wildly and pointed the gun at Sykkuno
