questions

Finding a lieutenant wasn’t difficult for Kade. If one was observant enough to notice the boots, one was observant enough to count the licks of flame on the toes. He should have a lot more information than the grunt he had talked to before, he might have talked directly to the man that Kade was looking for. It only took a couple of hours to track the lieutenant to the perfect spot, and now Kade had him incapacitated, ready to drag somewhere to be questioned.

“You don’t want to be doing this.” The lieutenant groaned. “I promise much pain if you don’t stop and run away right now”

Kade stopped. Looked at the man, Kade had no doubt that the man thought what he said was true, but they had no idea. Kade was one of them, trained by one of them and they wouldn’t know what…

Blackness.

Kade woke up, unable to move. He was tied, thoroughly. He’d been bested, and he knew this was the end. He was prepared for the torture. He was even prepared for death. What he was NOT prepared for, was what came next.

The same lieutenant they he thought he had captured walked into the room with a wide smile on his face.

“So, Mr. Kade, I trust you are comfortable?” he said mockingly. “It seems that you’ve been trying to find some information about one of our contracts. It also seems that you know a lot about us, you even carry the boots of an officer, so you should know the consequences of such actions.” The man’s smile broadened, and then it fell away. “We contacted said contract, and a very interesting thing happened. We informed him of your actions, and gave him the option for us to just kill you, or question you first. It seems he had a third option. He has paid us a large sum of money to not only keep you alive, but to transfer you to your friends, who by the way were surprisingly easy to track, they are not very good at keeping a low profile, now are they.” The man chuckled.

“Why?” asked Kade, his mind racing.
“It is not ours to ask questions of our contracts, just to do.” With that, the lieutenant pulled out a dart gun, point it at Kade. “Nighty night, lost brother”.

Darkness.

Kade woke up, appearantly stuffed into a box. Taking a quick inventory it appeared he had all of the gear on him that he had before the capture. He was unable to move, at all. By the feel of the cramps in his legs, he had been in here for a while. So there he waited in the darkness.
