Venno Rapter ~ A Hellish Series ~ Series 1

Clash of Raptors (Story 5 - Part 4)

With Jerry: 

The Spider was standing in the viewing room as the Bounty Interrogator questioned the Moose. 

The Moose was sitting on a chair, handcuffed to the table as the Bounty Interrogator sat across from him, asking him questions. 

Jerry took a quick puff from his cigar, his eyes narrowing when he saw how worried and scared the Moose was despite the Bounty Interrogator speaking to him calmly.  

The Winged Cyclops had been more than willing to answer all the questions asked by the Bounty Interrogator just several minutes before, and was now sitting in the interrogation room next door awaiting the denizen who had put a bounty on him. 

But the Moose seemed more reluctant and hesitant, as if he was scared to answer any questions at all. 

Jerry sighed as he turned on the speaker, deciding to wrap up the interrogation, seeing that the Bounty Interrogator was going nowhere. 

“Alright, let’s take a five minute break. You’re getting nowhere with him” said Jerry through the microphone, startling the Moose. 

The Bounty Interrogator, a tall Falcon, sighed but nodded as he got up and walked over to the door, entering the viewing room. 

“Well, he won’t talk. It seems like he’s too afraid to say anything” said the Falcon, crossing his feathered arms and glancing out through the viewing room window. 

Jerry took a puff from his cigar before pressing it down on the ashtray on the table, swiftly taking out a cigarette and lighting it with his two bottom arms. 

“Or perhaps he’s trying to hide something. Sometimes you just need to use more force to get them to talk” said the older Spider, deciding to give it a try himself. 

The Falcon raised an eyebrow as he watched Jerry walk through the door, entering the interrogation room, deciding to watch to see what he meant. 

Upon seeing the CEO and the founder of the Bounty Hunter Agency, the Moose began to sweat nervously, tugging at the handcuffs that kept them handcuffed to the table to see if he could escape. 

Jerry calmly took a seat across the table from the Moose, making him stiffen up in fear. 

Taking a quick puff from his cigarette, Jerry weighed the options in his head on what he should ask first, wanting the fastest way to snap the info out of the Moose without having to get too physically violent. 

“So-” began Jerry simply, causing the Moose  to flinch from the minute long silence.

“I didn’t do anything!” cried the Moose, interrupting Jerry. 

The older Spider simply glared at the Moose, causing him to flinch back and shrink down. 

“As I was saying, let’s have a chat. It states on your wanted poster that you are wanted for ‘stealing’ thousands of dollars of cash from someone who had apparently hired you to be a guard in their penthouse in New Strip City while they were off on vacation only to have you turn around and let a thief in and steal something valuable of theirs" said Jerry, picking up the wanted poster for the Moose before sliding it across the table to show him. 

The Moose’s ears lowered as he shook his head, even more worried and nervous. 

“I already told you and that Bounty Interrogator. I didn’t do anything like that” said the Moose, trying to convince the Spider that he was innocent. 

Jerry simply took a puff from his cigarette while his two bottom hands picked up a folder that had also been on the table, raising an eyebrow when he read through the info on the paper.
