The Sectors

Chapter Six

Sector: East end

Name: Nathan

Age: 17

When i wake up i look around and find myself in a prison cell, my hands are cuffed together as are my feet, "hey let me out! I'm telling you guys i am not the person you're looking for i have nothing to do with Connor please I'm telling you the truth!". I hear a bang on my cell door "shut up the Commander will be here soon to interrogate you save your lies for him".

What i'm going to be interrogated? I knew people who have been taken for interrogations about Connor before i never seen them again.

I don't know what to do my heart is beating so fast and i begin to sweat. I feel like i'm going to pass out.

I hear my cell door open and in walks a male with blonde hair a clean shave, he doesn't look to be taller than me but i can't tell since i'm sitting down.

"Hello there Nathan Lockhart my name is Commander Jones but you can call me Matthew, I have a few questions to ask you furthermore you will answer all my questions honestly." I stay quiet, he must've seen something in my eyes because he continues on and starts asking me his questions.

"Why did you help Connor?"

"I didn't" i respond back fast and without hesitation.

"Nathan" Matthew gives out a long sigh

"I'm trying to be nice here. Trust me you don't want to test me" I notice he starts putting his hand over his knife. Is he going to hurt me if i don't tell him everything? Why am i trying to help Connor? He is the reason I'm even here to begin with, if i give him up i'll be free to go unharmed and maybe even get a reward? No what am i thinking i can't sell him out no matter what. I am ready for the worse.

"Now Nathan. Are you ready to cooperate?" i stare back at him in anger for trying to scare me "I'm not saying a word" Matthew continues to look me in the eyes, his eyes look cold, no hint of remorse, this terrifies me.

"Alright boy if this is how you want it to be so be it" he turns around and asks the guard something i can't hear before he leaves the room he turns to me "well Nathan you should have just worked with me here, now you're not going to like what happens next, guards pick him up and take him to the interrogation room" the two guards by my door start moving towards me and lifts me up by my arms to make me stand up off my bed, i feel myself being dragged across the floor of my cell and then they turn i felt dizzy from all the lights in the hallway so i let my head rest down.

I need to be ready to take everything they throw at me i can't give Connor up, He has done so much good for others.

The guards dragging me put me in a chair and strap my hands down to the armrests and chain my legs to the chair legs. I just wanna close my eyes and wait for this to be over.

I keep reminding myself, i'm going to be okay they won't kill me they need me to find Connor, i have this.

The man from earlier arrives at the integration room. He looks like he is excited about this."Leave us" Without hesitation the guards who strapped me down and started leaving the room.

When they leave the room one of the guards closes the door then locks it, "Well i will try to be nice before we get started. Where is Connor?"

He starts walking towards me slowly keeping his hands behind his back like he has a weapon to use on me already.

I don't reply, surely he won't hurt me to bad at the start. Will he?

"So you still don't want to talk? Alright i guess this will be the hard way."

He moves his hands out from behind his back and it's a small pin, the point looks very sharp, he grabs my index finger and i know exactly where this is going.

He slowly stabs it into my finger and is goes right through my skin like it was never even there, the pain is unbearable i feel a wave of sickness hit me then next was a wave of pain, like having all the nerves in your fingertips being cut open from the pin going deeper into my finger.

Tears run down my face as i scream in pain "ah please stop!"

"Not until you tell me where Connor is!". I feel dizzy again my finger is in incredible pain. If this was the start of the integration then what does he have for later on.

"We are going to leave that pin in there just for you", he turns around and heads for his tools, he grabs something i can't see, i try clearing my eyes from the tears and make out what he has in his hand, i'll just have to wait till he uses it on me.

I feel a knife being pressed on my pinkie. "So do you want to lose this finger just for a dumb criminal?"

"He is not a dumb criminal he is a hero!" i snapped back at him with all the energy i have left in my tank.

"Wrong answer" He places the blade across my pinkie and presses down till my pinkie come off my hand "please stop! i didn't help Connor!". I feel so much pain in my hand i feel the blood loss affecting me, i start getting weak, my head feels heavy and i'm close to passing out, but Matthew doesn't care he wants answers, he wants to find Connor.

It feels like it's been hours since he started interrogating me but i'm not exactly sure how long it's actually been, my body is cold my breath heavy, i just want this to stop. "Where is Connor!" he presses the knife against my ring finger getting ready to cut it off and i panicked, "i'll tell you everything i know but please stop!", I feel the knife raise from my finger "guards get a doctor to clean him up and patch up his hand" he pulls the small pin out from my finger as one guard uses his radio to call for a doctor "see Nathan i always get what i want, it's just the matter of how much pain you can go through before you crack".
