The Arcadia Chronicles III: Wood Elf Quest

Interrogation

Aeromir's POV

I thought while looking out my window I wonder how Erica is right now? There's a knock on my door Things sure are getting busy nowadays. I called out Enter.

I saw one of my guards enter Good morning, Chief. A group is bringing a man and they said that he attempted to abduct a girl. This caught my attention Bring them to me. I went out then saw a man tied up and looked beaten brought inside. Kaleid is among them Hello again, Chief, it seems like today is our lucky day - we got this man after a couple of rookies apprehended him.

Follow me.

I led them to an empty room that only a single window could filter a light inside then asked Kaleid to bring a chair, I said to them before going out Tie him up on the chair and guard him, I have several questions that needs answering.

Ordea's POV

The girl named Kitara said in awe when we're abreast the Hall This place still never ceases to amaze me, it's the first time I will be entering it. She said as we're climbing the steps I'm getting nervous, what if something worse will happen to me? I assured her Nothing will happen to you, I think Chief will do something about the persons who commited such heinous crime.

And what would be that 'something', Miss?

Maykel replied Something like death.

She responded with surprise What?!

I said Chief did make a rule that heavy crimes commited by a person or persons that is performed in the border of the Clan should be eliminated - he's considering the safety of the good people.

As we entered, Kaleid met us You're late, Ordea.

Where's the man?

He's in a room, Chief is yet to ask him anything.

A door opened and Chief Aeromir stepped out. As he faced us, Kitara greeted with outmost courtesy she could show Good morning, Chief. He smiled and asked Are you the one who was almost abducted?

Yes, Chief.

I was about to interrogate your abductor but I have to tell you a few facts so that it will get one more strike on the one behind the kidnappings, and you have to tell me what happened to you in order for you to be a witness as a kidnap victim.

They're about to leave when I said Chief, how about these two? They're the ones who captured the man, they could be of great help. He observed Maykel and Frionel Are you two willing to sacrifice your life for the sake of the Clan?

I could see from the look of their faces that they're taken aback by the unexpected question. Frionel replied I will do what I can, Chief, I joined the Wild Rose for that purpose.

Maykel answered Risking our lives for the Clan is our duty, Chief. I won't let you down.

He nodded Very well, come with us. He continued on his way to his room when he looked at me By the way, Ordea, please you and Kaleid interrogate him in my place.

We will, Chief.

Kaleid asked What will we ask him? I shrugged I don't know, maybe ask him who is his boss and why they're taking women. He said doubtfully Do you think he'll willingly talk?

We have to make him talk one way or another.

We entered the room where they held the man and the atmosphere of the place sure is tense - the room is dark with only a single window to light up the place with a few of my friends watching over him.
