"Time to talk, motherfucker!" Maria shouted as she impatiently tore the bag off of Nick's head.

After Adam had knocked him out, they all took him to a small secluded room and tied him up, ready for the interrogation.

Adam had also laid out a few weapons just in case torture was necessary.

Unfortunately now, they were relying solely on his information, as they tried to access some of the other computers, but it seemed as though the entire network had been locked down, as they couldn't access anything.

And so now, their only option was to squeeze whatever information out of Nick they could, no matter what they had to do to get it out of him.

"Ah," Nick laughed, "have I been... apprehended?"

"Less talking, more- oh wait, he should be talking! More talking!" Nathan shouted passionately.

"I'm surprised that fool made it this far," he commented.

"Shut up," Adam bluntly demanded, lunging a knife into Nick's thigh without an ounce of hesitation.

"GAAH-!" He shouted instinctively. "Haha, wow... got the upper hand, do ya? Well, I'll bleed out and die now thanks to you!"

"You'll be fine so long as I leave the knife in," Adam countered. "It blocks the wound. Now, you're gonna answer all of our questions, are we clear?"

"Pff," he tutted. "You could've just asked to begin with. What do you wish to know?"

Before Adam could begin to ask a question, Alex shoved his way forward with teary eyes and asked "What the fuck did you do, dad?!"

"Oh, Alex! How's it going, my boy?" Nick asked.

"I'm not your fucking boy-! What happened?! I knew you ran a company, but for you to be the one running PYROTECH, it's just- fucking insane!"

"Ah, but you are aware this isn't a PyroTech building, are you not?"

"Then what the FUCK is it!"

"Hey," Adam butted in, softly holding Alex back. "Calm down, Alex. What do you mean, Nick?"

"This building is a laboratory of the Phantom Sector's, not PyroTech."

"Riiight..." Adam sighed. "But, the two are connected, are they not? The name 'Phantom *Sector*' suggests that they aren't a separate company, but rather a part of yours. A partner or a subsidiary of sorts."

"Well," Nick cleared his throat, "the Phantom Sector is- well, a partner, ultimately. It's a company that was born from PyroTech, and its existence has never been made public knowledge. They simply handle the... immoral aspects of the organisation. They're a part of us."

"So, the sector handled the Fatal Frolic, did they?" Adam scowled.

"Well, you'll be surprised to know who originally came up with the Fatal Frolic," he chuckled. "It wasn't me, and it wasn't a member of the Phantom Sector."
