Inner Core (Completed)

Chapter 8 *The Interrogation*

Reo: "So Demon. Why are you destroying everything?"

(Reo has Kaen sat down in a chair tied up in the middle of his living room.)

Kaen: "I told you. I'm not Demon. You knocked him out."

(Kaen has his hair back to brown and his eyes are back to blue.)

Reo: "Sure, that's what you want us to think, huh?"

Selene: "I'm pretty sure he's Kaen now, Reo."

Reo: "Shut up, Selene. I'm doing something."

Selene: "Whatever."

(Selene walks into the kitchen to get a snack. It's 1:00 am, so Sara is asleep on the couch. She hasn't woken up once since Reo started the interrogation.)

Reo: "Listen, I'll play your little game. So Kaen, How did you escape the station, when each of those cells have an electromagnetic feature that makes it impossible to use your core."

Selene: "It's not electromagnetic! It's something else!"

(Selene yells from the kitchen.)

Reo: "Shut up Selene!"

Kaen: "I'm not playing a game, and the thing may stop you from using your core, but it takes 0.5 seconds to activate."

Reo: "Ok."

Selene: "But you were there for more than 0.5 seconds. I talked to you."

(Selene walks back into the living room.)

Kaen: "I was, but Demon wasn't. He's a different person than me. It's like they're two souls in one body. I don't get it."

Reo: "Huh, that's stupid."

Selene: "No, it kinda makes sense. The thing they have in the cells deactivates your core, but if you have two cores, and only one is active, it's gonna deactivate the active one."

Reo: "Then when the other one gets activated it deactivates that one, but it would take 0.5 seconds."

Kaen: "And when he got activated in that cell he let out tons of flames immediately because he knew all about it."

Reo: "Ok, we got what we want, now we can take him back to the station and get paid."

Selene: "Reo, we can't... or the same thing will just happen again."

Kaen: "She's right, He's done this multiple times, I just recently got to this city. I don't even know the name."

Reo: "No one does, but what should we do with him? If we leave him here he'll just go flame mode again, and it will be a hell of a lot easier since his only barrier is rope."

Kaen: "Well he only really comes out in terms of stress or anger. As long as I stay chilled out, he should stay back."

Selene: "Ok then, let's untie him."

(As Selene walks over to Kaen to untie him Reo stops her.)

Reo: "Woah, what the hell are you doing?"

Selene: "You heard him. In times of stress. Being tied up isn't the most relaxing thing."

Kaen: "She's right, you know."

Reo: "Shut up. He could be lying and kill us in our sleep."

Kaen: "He's gotta point. I wouldn't trust me."

Selene: "Shut up. Listen Reo, this whole situation is probably stressful for him. We should untie him, and then keep and eye on him."

Kaen: "That's true too. You two yelling is really hard on me."
