*Rivers POV*

I stomp so heavily out of the interrogation that I wouldn't be surprised if it left dents in the carpets. I turn left at the end of the corridor and head into the make shift lounge where everyone was waiting for me to tell them how it went. In 2 words? Not great. Who the fuck does this marv bitch think she is? she's not invincible. She'd be dead right now if Bill hadn't wanted to find out about relatives and friends to tie up loose ends. Make sure no one would come looking for them.

I had all the power in this situation. She was a freaking teenage girl tied to a chair. She was literally helpless and yet she made me feel like a grain of rice. She's obviously not desperate to fit into society like the rest of them. She knows what kind of monster she is and she doesn't seem to care.

I burst into the lounge and all eyes turn to me. Most seem surprised , probably expecting it to have taken longer.

"Did you get the information we need , River?" Bill asks. Ever the leader.

"Not exactly." I reply curtly before taking a seat beside Sierra on a beaten up leather sofa.

"Why not? Were they still unconcious or something?" This question came  from Sierra who I was already regretting sitting next to.

"The boy was.  The girl was awake."

"Then why didn't you ask her what I told you to ask her?" Bill said , his usually calm composure cracking to show his anger.

"She wasn't exactly forthcoming with information. She was more pissed than anything," I bit back, defensive at the accusatory glances everyone was throwing my way.

"Thats why I sent you in. You can always get the more reluctant ones to talk. Why did you leave that room before getting what we needed? I really dont need the feds snooping around because some old relative is kicking up a fuss about missing children." Bill was right as usual. We needed that information. Nobody wanted to relocate again.

"She was pissing me off , i don't know i guess she kind of got to me or something. She's vicious," I mourned. peering up to see everyone looking at me with shocked faces.

"I don't know if the girl in that room is the same one we took but if so then shes's harmless. I'm dissapointed that you gave up so easily, River. I gave you the job because I thought you could do it." Bill shook his head , his dissapointment giving me a tight feeling in my throat.

"I can do it," I said, all fake confidence.

"I really don't think so River. You had your chance I think I'm going to hand this one over to Jackson."

"Jackson!!" I yelled , outraged. "Jackson's awful. He'll just hit on her and she'll not tell him anything. You remember what happened last time? No i'll do it. I'll get what we need." i was almost shouting now. Eager to prove myself.

"Fine.But do it quick , we haven't got all day." Bill smiled at me, Softening his remark.

I fled the room desperate to get back into the interrogation room I couldn't wait to leave moments before.

Olivias POV*

When Jerk off the third left I immediately tried to to wake up Jason. I was going to need him if we were going to break out of here. My ability looked cool but wasn't exactly helpful in this situation.

"Jason , Jason sweetie I need you to wake up." I said softly. Not wanting to alert my kidnappers to what I was doing. Me and Jason could be out of here before thoose idiots knew what hit them.

"Jason come on" I said louder but not quite a shout. He stirred but didn't wake up.

"Jason I need you" At this , his eyes flashed open and I saw them scan me for injuries like I had done to him what felt like a lifetime ago.

"Olivia , where are we?" He asked , fear creeping into his voice.

"It's okay we're going to get out of this. Do you remember what happened?" I asked and see his mop of brown hair flop as he shakes his head.

"Not really no. I remember someone came up behind me and put something over my face. It smelled gross." He stays quiet as he recounts this and it unerves me. Jason is never quiet.

"Chloroform most likely. Explains why you were knocked out so long."

" We have got to get out of here" He whispered this so quietly that my ears struggle to pick it up.

"Don't worry , we will Jay Jay. I promise." I attempted a smile but I think it turns into more of a grimace.

"Don't call me Jay Jay. Im 11 not 5.I hate it when you baby me" He pouted  and looked  more like his usual self. The relief I feel is overwhelming.

I'm about to tell Jason my plan when I hear footsteps approaching. I turned to Jason and saw pure fear in his eyes. For someone so powerful the kid had no idea where he stood on the food chain.

"close your eyes," I whisper. I don't know if he heard  me but he seemed to get the idea and closed his eyes and flopped  in his seat like he was  still unconcious.

The door opened and non other than Captain of the SS go fuck yourself walks in.

Rivers POV*

When I opened the door the girl was staring straight at me. An innocent smile plastered on her face. I didn't trust it.

"Hey sweetheart , back for round two?" she asked with a smug smile.

"No actually , i'm afraid not. Just here to transfer your......son?brother? I'm guessing brother , to a different room." This wasn't strictly true but I needed to find out what her weakness was and I was fairly sure it was the small,unconscious form lying next to her.

Her smile stayed in place but she couldnt help the flash of anger in her eyes at the mention of the boy. Now I was the one who was smug.

"Then get on with it.Unless of course your bluffing, which I highly suspect you are. What's with all the games ocean? Intimidated?" She was oozing arrogance but the slight shake of her hands said otherwise.

"My names River." I gritted out through clenched teeth.

"River ,Ocean , Lake what's the difference really? There all vast and devoid of human life. Kind of like that head of yours eh Pond?" she was grinning now.Obviously enjoying herself.

"At least i'm not a freak" I spat back. bitter and angry.

"Hmmm.."She tilted her head and raised an eyebrow. "Debateable."

"Actually if you could take him away that would be great. He's really annoying me. He's a mouth breather." She whispered this last part like she's letting me in on a secret.

"Umm yeah that's what I came here to do" I said, uneasy. I had nowhere to put him but I refused to be caught out by a marv.

Olivias POV*

Douchebag looked so uncomfortable that I would laugh if I were in a different situation. All I needed was for him to touch Jamie and the idiot was stubborn enough to do it. Doesn't he know when he's being manipulated? The better for me I guess.

He moves slowly towards him , his steps echoing on the hard floor. I tried not to look too interested for fear of him catching on. I hoped Jason was listening and understood what I needed him to do.

He finally got within touching distance and I held my  breath scared that my body would betray me and ruin the only chance for escape we had. Just as he puts his hand on the edge of the chair , Jason reached out quick as a whip and touched his arm. The sucker dropped like a stone , a startled look on his stupid , attractive face.
