Return to 7C

Interrogation Room

"That's impossible...", Elle reacts in disbelief.

" I wonder how they caught it." The couple looks into the cage, witnessing the very same creature that terrorized the two, three years ago. The creature steps forth, watching the couple from behind its bars. All it could do, is scratch the rusty, metal bars with its claw-like fingers. Nic glances over to Elle, as she begins to breathe faster.

"Elle, don't worry, it can't hurt you anymore." He reached for her hand, when other guards began to yell in the distance, snapping the two out.

"Frequency stabilizers at a high, consistent vibration force the cells of this thing to stay together. It's practically human now, with a shady aura and a hell of an attitude", a man informs the two, standing just besides them. He looks at Elle, while Nic takes a few steps back.

" Hello Elle, I'm glad to have you back", he says to her, brushing her hair aside.

"You do not want to do this Zak", she responds, moving her head away from his hands.

" Aww, I don't?", he replies, mocking her.

"You have the Treasure Room full of weapons already, don't you have enough?"

"Oh Elle, there is never enough weapons for us hun. We have been looking for the advanced for so many years, we'd thought on other worlds, they would have slightly better weapons than us. All we could find, is bullets and other crap that we already have. Well, except for the Mandozies, at least we were getting somewhere with them.

" What is your point?", she asks frustratedly.

"The point is...", he annunciates sarcastically.

" We were just about to give up, until, you came along. I saw that hologram you had, tell me, do you have more, where you're from? I know you're hiding something Elle, and that hologram you have is just a taste."

"No, you stay away from my home."

"Or what? All we need is just a handful of weapons, and we'll be on our way."

"You will endanger us all Zak, and my planet has an elite force you won't be able to take on."

"Well, that's kind of why I built this prison, I can control these things, all of them." Zak looks over to Nic, smirking at him.

"Hey, lemme see your taser right quick", he requested. Nic hands him the taser, and Zak walks over to the cage.

" Hey buddy", he says, banging on the cage with the stick, drawing the creature's attention. He then tases it, forcing the creature into a corner. Nic and Elle watch in horror, growing guilty for the Wraith. Zak tosses the stick back, and he walks over to Elle.

"See? Simple as that", he responds.

" Go to hell", she shouts, just before she kicks him in the knee. Zak loses balance and before he could recover, she then kicks him spot on in the face, knocking him down completely. Nic chuckles to himself for a bit, only until Zak gets up, and wipes away his bloody nose. Nic quickly aims the rifle at her, attempting to act natural.

"Easy, stand down", he tells him, making Nic lower the rifle.

" Oww, why the attitude? ", he comments whilst feeling his chin, and wiping his still bleeding nose. Elle looks at him angrily, while she stayed silent.

" Ohhh, I see, is it because we killed your boyfriend?", he questioned, continuing to mock her.

"Had you just stayed here like you should have, he would've still been alive." Zak sighs, and removes a small cloth from the pocket of his jacket.
