Bang and Burn ~ Dreamnotfound + Skephalo

Chapter 30

I've returned from my slumber to bring you another chapter nearly 1 month since the last update, only to return back to hibernation as soon as it's published. In all seriousness, thank you for being patient. Love you guys.

Dylan opened the door to the interrogation room to find Tommy talking to Clay. On the other side of the glass, Toby was talking to Sprite, explaining to her that she needed to cooperate.

When Clay saw Dylan walk in with five other people, he rubbed his eyes. "Dylan. Why did you bring more people in here? Didn't I tell you to lay low?"

"I trained with these guys," Dylan explained. "They offered to help talk to Sprite."

Grayson pushed to the front of his team and offered his hand out to Clay. "Agent Possum! I'm the leader of this team."

"Co-leader," Maddie corrected as she took Clay's hand after Grayson. "I'm Agent 881."

"What does the '881' stand for? Like, does it mean anything?" Clay asked.

"Yep! It's the number of pizza slices I've eaten throughout my life." She looked back at the glass as Clay sat there, attempting to process what she said. "So, have you gotten anything from her yet?"

"Nope. Skeppy, Sapnap, and now Tubbo have all gone in to speak with her. She either shuts down or has a panic attack." Clay ran his hand through his hair as Tubbo left the room and sat down beside Tommy. "Learn anything?"

"She only said the same thing she said to you," Toby said, avoiding eye contact. "She wants to talk to Dylan and only Dylan."

Roo grabbed the door handle. "Let us give this a try!" He walked in with a big smile on his face, Ciara following closely behind him. Maddie shrugged and entered the room behind them. Grayson started to follow but stopped at the doorway when he noticed Ray wasn't behind him. Dylan followed Grayson's gaze over to Ray who was with Tommy. Tommy was thoroughly inspecting the dog tags around his neck as if they were a lost relic. Deciding that it may be best for him to stay out of the interrogation room anyway, Grayson left without a word.

George watched as Maddie made her way to the front of her group, already looking intimidating. Grayson was by her side, looking as nice as ever. "So, Anna, why are you here?"

Sprite swallowed hard as she looked up at Maddie. "My team almost killed people."

"Who?" Maddie asked.

"Agents Sapnap, Skeppy, and Mega."

Maddie crossed her arms and bit her lower lip. Noticing that Maddie was getting fired up, Grayson took the lead. "I get it, we all make mistakes. Now, if you could answer some questions, we could help you out. Help us help you."

"Oh, I like your accent," Sprites stated after hearing Grayson talk. "Where are you from? Australia?"

Grayson's jaw dropped. "I'M FROM NEW ZEALAND AND YOU KNOW THAT! I TOLD YOU ABOUT IT IN TRAINING!"

Maddie's sour expression quickly changed as she noticed Grayson become more and more frustrated as the seconds passed. She placed her hands on his shoulders and moved him off to the side of the room and began giving him a pep talk to calm him down. Sprite smirked to herself. Two down, two more to go. Ciara noticed her smug expression and grabbed the brown sack from Roo's arms. She tossed it towards Sprite. Though she was handcuffed to the table, she could still move her arms just enough to reach inside of it.

"Why did you give her my sandwich?!" Roo almost yelled at Ciara.

"You and I both know that the person in question will respond better if they get something, whether it's food or water or something." She turned back to Sprite. "So, you have food. Start talking."
