Dysfunctional

Chapter 22: Taken

I went directly to Arnold. He was catching up on files in the surveillance room. "ARNOLD!!!"

"Why the hell are you roaming without super vision?" He snapped.

"One or the agents were bullying one of the minors!"

"So? That's what they do. I thought you should know of all people."

"I'm sorry.... It just....." I watched as his hand reach up to leave me a red mark across my face. "WAIT!" I yelled. "He was a recruit."

Arnold lowered his hands and frowned. Every minor of the Hydra bases has at least one agent assigned to them. The amount you have depends on how strong you are. I only have five so far. Recruits aren't allowed to hit anyone basically. Recruits are used as reinforcements in case the minor over comes his agents. If recruits hit the minors the minors get used to their attacks. Which makes them unstoppable.

He pulled out a file and sat in the floor with me. "Where was he stationed?"

I gave him the most serious ten year old eyes I can give. "He walked over and pulled Alex out. So I don't know."

"Who is Alex?"

"He's been here for almost a week. He's my cellmate."

"You have a WHAT?! No wonder you are smiling so much. No wonder you've been thinking your hot shit. I told them no cell mates. I wanted them to isolate you."

"There must have been a mistake then."

"Alex you say? What are his abilities."

"He doesn't have much I guess."

"Confidence. That cell mate made you soft. I have to toughen you up......... AGAIN." He punched my arm and I winced.

"Ow...." I instantly regretted saying that

He looked at me in utter disgust. "Did you just.... You don't show your pain. I taught you that. It took me 2 years to show you! WHERE IS THIS DAMMED ALEX?!"

Arnold stormed out of the room. I went onto the computer and looked up the name Alex, on floor 10, under minor. Nothing came up execpt 3 names.

My name, this girl that vomits acid, and some kid who can control the earth around him. Floor 10 held the strongest of the minors. Where was Alex's name?

"I began searching up the name Alex. 4 pages came up. For information is do almost anything. I continued to scroll and look through pictures. Nothing.... nothing at all."

"A-8!!"

My body shook at the sound of the Commander of the troops. I didn't know his name then and I still don't know it. But he always towered above me and scared shit out of me. "You have a lot of balls to come in here and mess up the files."

"It wasn't me." I logged off the computer.

"Are you talking back to me?" He put his hand to his gun and glared.

"Please. I'll go back peacefully. I'll clean up first." I picked up the files and put them back into their cabinets. They would believe me if I said Arnold did this...... but they'd like to see me suffer.
