The Gap Between

"What?" Riki said in annoyance

"Tell me what happened?" Iason said and sat down

"About what?"

"All of this from the day I let you go"

"I won't tell a single thing" Riki said with finality

"I demand answers"

"I demand my peace" continues "look if you continue about asking none sense, you will never again see me"

"None sense?" Iason smiled, his pet didn't grew old, but acquired wisdom in years "now your threatening me? I could just grab you right now and return to Eos"

"It isn't that easy as before, I am a Elderly Citizen of Regina and under the provision you couldn't take a old man to be your pet" he snapped "not to mention you are human trafficking me, the things here aren't the same with the rest of the planet."

"You studied the law, and you came here intentionally? What secrets do you keep?" He will get to the bottom of the mystery

"It's centuries ago move on!" Riki was stubborn just like how he was before.

He might have changed a little but he was still himself.

"You live in luxury, you use your dirty mouth? Did you whore on Timothy?" Iason was now interrogating his former pet "did you use your skills as my pet sustain your posistion?"

"I wouldn't do that!" Riki in rage

"Oh I know you would, your are a good liar, you always lie to get things and favors in the Slums, using your body for paying favors." Riki was holding back something he need to know what is his secret "why are you here? Why didn't you stay at Ceres!?"

"I was looking for a job! When the shit happened! I didn't go here intentionally! I was escaping!" Riki was shocked he was scared as if he spilled something so dangerous "Enough I'm done with you! This is the last time your going to ask me!" He was shaking his head

"Riki I just want answers, you aren't lying but your not cooperating"

"Fine! If you won't stop I will bury myself alive on that tombstone and you will never see me or talk to me anymore!" And he then left, he was sweating so hard and he was so scared, more scared than he was training him. Amir took him and Sylka his female staff gave him some water to drink.

Something did happen and he wanted to know more, this was the mystery to be solve. But he won't push Riki to spill it up, he might get more hurt, it seem whatever happened to his pet is his responsibility as well, and right now he needed to earn Riki's trust.

"I assume he was been a white rat of someone." Raoul said

"Raoul don't speculate"

"Timothy said and it was confirmed he did look for Riki's true identity, he had also used retinal scan, and fingerprints but they weren't match to Riki's registry as your pet, it is enough to assume someone experimented on him, having those features to alter is hard proof itself" the biochemist said

"And who you think got that ability in and facility?"

"We don't know, your pet's case is difficult. If he doesn't want to open up it will stay a mystery it seems he wanted to keep forever, there's no registered laboratory near here that do that sort, yet it doesn't mean it didn't exist." Raoul added "that person has something beyond the knowledge I have."
