'Peekaboo I See you' Tara opened her eyes to see a tall man with a beard, dressed in a suit hovering over her. His long salt and pepper hair tied neatly in a ponytail. The man from the bakery, she realised.

She tried to move, scream, tried to literally do anything to get away from the creep in front of her but nothing seemed to work.

'Oh! Can't you move, sweetheart? Do you want to know what I did to you? It's the effect of my newest neurotoxin. It just freezes your entire body. Can't move, can't speak, can't scream. You can't do anything really' he explained in a voice that sent a shiver down Tara's spine.

'You are so stupid and so smart at the same time. Oh! I should probably introduce myself to you first. Right?' he asked.

He came closer to her face 'I am Eye. Remember me? The guy you tried to kill but didn't' he teased her. She stared at him in shock.

'You really thought an international criminal like me would go to do drug deals himself. Oh Nayanthara, your so naive.'

He laughed like a maniac and started to sing.

'But I have to give you credit for one thing, you did hack into my computer and destroy my network. Took me two whole years to rebuild it' he clapped for her.

She desperately rolled her eyes and looked around, trying to move her head but couldn't.

'Oh, Sweetie! You wanna look around? You probably should get acquainted with the space, seeing that you and I are going to spend a lot of time here' he told her lifting her chin with his finger.

'I spy with my little eye something frightened. Is that you? Is that you? Is that you, my dear?' he teased her and laughed maniacally.

'Oh Nayanthara! You made a mistake by not dying. Your husband was very smart to die that day. I am going to make you wish that you died with that fool' he told her, making his finger linger on her skin.

Her blood boiled at the mention of her husband. 'You didn't know? Sweetheart! I am the one that ordered that kill. My men made the stupid mistake of not checking if you were dead.'

Memories of her husband flooded her mind. Memories of that dreadful night plagued her.

'Don't worry you and I will have lots of fun' he moved the revolving chair she was sitting on, showing her the room.

'Look at that, those are cosmetics I made myself for your beautiful face and those my love are my newest creations we can test them together. You'll play with me, won't you?' He asked in a childlike voice.

............

'Putting on a brave face, are we?' Eye asked her as if talking to a child 'Of course! You are not scared. You have used this on innumerable people. You think you can fight it because you know the science behind it' he said, taking her towards the interrogation devices.

She kept a straight face. He was right she knew the science behind it, she could fight it. She tried to concentrate on anything but her current situation.

'You injected people with these. People for whom this whole process starts with pain and ends with pain. People whose secrets you wanted to know. That is the difference, you know the science, they didn't. For you, the fear will kill you before the pain does. You would stop when you get what you want. I don't want anything from you, I just like seeing you suffer in pain' he said hovering over her.
