WHEN THE RAIN STOPS- Scrutinized [TANNER x LUNA] 2 IN 1

Luna's Mentality Pt. Three

|EUGENE|

'I need to help her. But how?- aha! I would make a distraction and we would all run! Right? Ye-!' As I was thinking, the song ended and I looked over to see her expression. I thought it would be scared and filled with terror but no... she looked happy? And Proud? While the other people clapped for her. She stood up and the next thing I know she was embraced by a women. Once the women finished Tanner came into frame and wrapped his arm around Luna's waist. He knew what he was doing as he turned his head to give me a cocky, 'Your loss' smile. But I didn't know who he was talking to, since by the end of this, I would have Luna back, he would go to jail and my family would get out of here safely. Non the less, Tanner turned back around and started walking out with Luna. Closing the door behind him. While on the other hand, the people left behind turned around and turned off their fake smiles to see my family and I waiting and standing still with guns pointed at us. There was a woman, a man in a black suit with black hair, another man in a suit that was bald, a man in a hoodie with a surgical mask, a grandpa in an apron and a couple in black clothing and masks. The man in the suit spoke. "Hello! I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but as you know I am Adam and these are my very close friends or shall I say.. family! And we are very grateful to have you here today. Some, more than most.. but surely you won't mind." Adam cleared his throat and the door reopened to invite a woman in. She had glasses and a scar in her eyebrow. My family looked at each other, our eyes filled with the fear that was missing from Luna.

"Please... PLEASE DONT HURT US!" Daniel yelled out. They looked at each other before laughing. Then when they finished Adam walked over to the guest. "I'm sure if Luna can survive, you can too.. now.." he put an arm around her. "This beautiful woman right here is known as Doc. She can explain herself but I just wanted you to know she'll be conducting the interview today." He turned his head to smile at her before wishing her good luck. And with a pat of the shoulder, she left and reappeared on the ledge with us. She smiled. "Good morning!" She said upbeat before charging to me with a hand. "Oh! God! You're Eugene! It's so nice to finally meet you in person!" She shook my hand viciously. "I'm Doc! But surely you must know that already, I bet Luna talks about me all the time." She kept shaking my hand for a little before a cleared throat made us look over. "In person?" Daniel asked. "Mhm! I've been watching you for a while. But given that it's been from a distance, I don't really judge you for not knowing." She stopped with my hand and checked her watch. "Well, since we have a few hours..." she turned me and put her arm around my shoulders to lead us. "Might as well, pour salt in the wound." She flipped a  switch that led to a stair case in the bookshelf. "I'm sorry, what did you mean by pour salt in the wound?.." Airi asked, clearly scared. "You don't have to worry about that. No physical harm will happen to you."

Doc giggled, "It's more physiological." We reached the bottom. The others were asking what she meant by that when she led us to a room. Concrete, with a screen built into the wall. Next thing I know she's sitting us down in the chairs. "You still haven't answered our question. What do you mean by-." "I mean! You guys won't get any physical harm done. But, I put together a show for you to watch.." she stood up and walked over to a leaver. We all sat patiently for her to finish her sentence. "A guilt trip of sorts..." she giggled again and flipped the leaver. "I wouldn't move if I were you." We got confused again when she explain with the presentation starting. It showed a stick figure sitting in a chair. "These chairs may look normal! But don't let that trick you into jumping out of them." She said in an announcer type voice. "Who's knows what might happen." The stick figure got out of the chair and the screen view widened. It showed more figures in chairs and next thing we know, all of them are getting electrified. Our faces dropped. "No one get out of your ducking chair." Airi said in a strict tone.

We all silently agreed and let the show go on. Doc sat in the middle of us and next to me to get a good view of our faces. Then she pressed play.
