Chapter 4

I woke up unable to move. I opened my eyes to see I was chained to a chair. Great. How was I getting out of this one? I looked around the room I was in. It looked similar to an interrogation room with a huge heat lamp and everything. Maybe instead of being questioned, I can be the questioner. Seriously, they look freaky as all hell, and I'm the curious type, so I need to know what the hell they are. Two of them came into the room. Are they going for the good cop, bad cop thing? 'Cause that won't work on me. I've got this.

"Willia Lank. We've been looking for you for a long time," the uglier one said. Yeah, it's possible for one to be uglier than another somehow.

"Don't know why you wanted me," I said in a bored tone. The only thing interesting thing about me is my arrests. It was totally worth it for the record. Taegan bailed me out all seven times...except the time I escaped. Also, those are the times I was caught. There are so many times I have not What did I do? Well...you'll find out later. My parents were so pissed, and I was grounded for a month each time. And my parents are strict. It makes these guys look like nothing.

"Believe me, you are the only person on this planet who we can use."

"Use how? And what makes you think I'll cooperate?"

Suddenly, the better looking one (using that very loosely) slammed his hand on the table and got in my face. Every part of me wanted to look away, but I held firmly.

"You can't control what we do because what we want is a part of you," he said loudly.

"Whoa, dude, what the hell? That sounds so wrong. Don't be so vague! Tell me what the hell you want directly!!!" I yelled. Yeah, I think this is going well.

The ugly one pulled back the mean one.

"You have a choice. If you choose to cooperate, we can make you a little more comfortable here. Be aware that if you refuse, we can make your life a living nightmare," Ugly said.

I felt anger boiling up. I leaned forward as much as I could.

"Go. Fuck. Yourselves. You. Bastards," I said, gritting my teeth.

Meanie came up and punched me in the face causing the chair to fall backwards. I grunted as the chair hit the ground.

"You and all those others are the same. We're not getting anywhere with her. Just hook her up and leave her," Meanie said.

The hell they talking about? Are they talking about my friends? Did they question them? Hook me up to what? I don't like the sound of that.

"No, Reich," Ugly said. I think I somehow like him less than Meanie. I don't care if I actually know his real name. I like my name for him better. Ugly took a deep breath. Damn, do I already have him mad? Usually it takes me a bit longer than that to piss anyone off. I just got a new record by 5.8 seconds. Awesome.

"Look, kid, we're trying to help you here. If you do what we want, we'll do what you want," Ugly said. Let my plotting begin. This is how I convinced the police not to call my parents one time. I pretended to cooperate.

"Really? So...let's say, hypothetically, I went along with this plan of yours. I get to make demands, right?"

They seemed confused by my sudden attitude change. I can do it.
