"Fuck! Fuck! fuck !.........." KO shouted, while his hands trembled, he reached out for his special phone, there was only 1 number on it........he dialed it, with a queasy feeling in his stomach. The person on the other end answered without a sound.

"They came and got her ! I don't know when, my feed was manipulated, I don't know how they took her out but I'm sure they are going to interrogate her.............and Cut Throat...just so you know........its Rodger..........you know how he does his interroga-.........." The line got cut.

KO pressed a button on the side of his bed, if you were new to the room you wouldn't even notice it was there, it moulded so beautifully with the wall paper it was almost impossible to distinguish.

There was a mechanical sound as one part of his wall suddenly started going up, underneath it an impressive assortment of weapons were on display. KO quickly started changing he knew Cut Throat would be here in a matter of minutes, he put on his black clothes and shield, slowly starting to load weapons onto himself.

***************************************************************

Leila's body shuddered with fright, she felt cold as though she were in a freezer room, her screams sounded with echo, she could almost feel the emptiness of the room. The harsh ropes tied in to her wrists, as she was tied to the steel chair. There was no escape for her. She wanted to scream so bad, but she realized at this time saving her energy was vital, she might just need it. She could feel bright lights shining through her blindfold.

Suddenly she froze and stayed as still as possible, she distinctively heard the door open and large heavy footsteps made an echo as they approached her closer and closer. She felt a coarse hand roughly pull the blindfold off of her face.

There he was, the man named Rodger, looking smug with himself. "Well well........look what we have here? Word has it you seem to be quite popular nowadays eh?" He said arrogantly

Leila didn't reply to him

"Look here missy, there are only 2 ways of doing this...........either the easy way........or the hard way......and I'll have you know....if you decide to do this the hard way, I might actually have more fun than you ...eh? How about that...?" Rodger said, laughing to himself, his crazy laugh echoing all across the room. Leila turned around to see there were broad large windows on the left hand side of the room, it must be a one way glass.

"Hey ! Watchu looking at ! Here....here...this is where you should be looking...right here !" he said roughly grabbing her face and forcing her to look at his obscene face.

"Right..........i'll ask the questions..........you give the answers...simple enough innit?" Rodger said ,bending down...till his eyes were less than an inch from hers...she nodded her head feverently

"What were you doing with Cut Throat on that day ..." He said slowly and deliberately.

"I .......i was......kidnapped by him...." Leila stuttered

"Kidnapped?"

"Ye-yes..."

"What did Cut Throat tell you ..."

"He didn't say much............I woke up in a strange place.....he told me to change clothes...and then we left the place...and tha-...that's- when we found you...."

"So you're saying you spent a whole night with Cut Throat and he didn't tell you anything...?"

"Ye-yes....i was knocked out..........i re-really don't remember much.......i rem-remember waking up and finding him there....." Leila said

"so you're saying he didn't tell you anything?" Leila nodded her head in response,

"So how did you know his name was Cut Throat , if you're saying he didn't tell you 'anything'"

"I didn't hear it from him..."

"From whom did you hear it then...?" Rodger asked chuckling to himself

"Well...you did..or I think...it was the other guy you were with...his name was Oliver or something ..." Leila said

"What !" The man screamed, looking nervously at the window, Leila was right, there were definitely someone on the other side monitoring them, "why you little bitch ! Are you accusing me or my unit of divulging information ?!"

"Huh ? N-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-noooooo I'm just answering your quest-" before she could finish, she felt a hard smack across her face, losing conscious.

****************************************************************

K.O. saw the Aston Martin swerve at the staircase landing, the masked man, waited impatiently for KO as he got in. With adrenaline rush, K.O. sat in the front seat, of the crisp leather seats, buckling his seat belt, ready for Cut Throats driving.

"How the fuck did this happen under your watch !" He asked angrily swerving the car at full speed of the gate. "The only reason I agreed to let her stay there was because I thought she would be safe !"

"Look I don't know how they bypassed the security features okay?"

"You better figure it out before I take her out of there myself !"

"have you ever considered that she maybe like's living there...?"

"This isn't about what she likes this comes down to her safety !"

"Yeah ....maybe I should do like you and chain her to the bed?" KO replied sarcastically. Cut Throat didn't reply. They both knew where they were headed, it was on the outskirts of the city, in the exact location where one would be able to carry out such type of tasks.

They both got out of the car as soon as the breaks hit. Without saying a word, and as though in rhythm with one another, KO and Cut Throat both walked to the back of his car. Cut Throat opened the boot of his car, it was empty. He put his hand to the underside of his boot as though feeling for something, with a mechanical buzzing sound the boot of his car moved back and a display of weapons slowly zoomed its way upwards.

Cut Throat took out a sniper and slung it across his shoulders, he then quickly took out 2 other guns and started packing them in his back pockets.

"Come on ......they will know we are here....." KO said, walking slowly to the dilapidated looking house

"Good" Cut Throat said as he slammed the boot shut.

***************************************************************

The two walked in into the dark house, there was no lights, except from one corner of the empty hallway where there was light pouring from the door frame. KO and Cut Throat walked in silence, continuously checking around for any on comers but there were none. They reached the edge of the door, leaning on either side of the door, Cut Throat pulled out his gun, KO doing the same, KO pointed at Cut Throat and then at the door, he then put up his 3 fingers, then 2, then 1. With 2 quick movements, KO pulled out his gun and aimed it at the door handle of the door, while Cut Throat kicked the door, which broke into pieces.

"What the fuck is this !" Oliver shouted, getting up from his desk

"Whoaa ...whooaa... whoa ....calm down fellas .." Skinner said getting up as well

"Hands behind your head ! NOW" KO yelled out, walking into the small room

"You don't wanna be doing this...listen this is just a standard interroga-"

"Standard huh? Why weren't we notified then?" KO said angrily "Instead you show up like a bunch of cowards taking an unarmed civilian -"

"This is exactly the type of thing we were trying to avoid !" Oliver yelled at Skinner. Out of nowhere there was a small blade that flew out of Cut Throats hands, scratching Oliver on the cheeks "AAaarrgghhhhh what the fuck !" He yelled , placing his hand at his new gash. KO smiled "that was just a friendly reminder for you to behave, we won't ask you twice, put your fucking hands behind your head !"

"Look ......we were just about to finish okay...? Rodger was just about to wrap things up.........she doesn't seem to know anything....so...let's just finish up okay ? Let him just finish up...?" Skinner said urgently with his hands behind his head. From nowhere came the sound of large cascade of water, KO turned to look at the big monitors on the screen, Rodger had just poured a bucket of ice water onto Leila, she looked like she was waking up......

***************************************************************

Leila felt aches and pains all across her body as she was slowly waking up. She felt the cold first, hitting her body, and the slow realization that her body was wet....feeling strangely odd. Why would she be wet in this cold weather?

That was a very odd silly thing for her to do. And why was her body aching. She was having a difficult time keeping her eyes open, only if she could sleep a little longer....just then she felt another wave of ice cold water hitting her body. And with that her eyes opened wide awake, and she remembered where she was. Looking up she could see the contemptuous face of the man called Rodger.

"That was just the beginning missy, you better keep up with the questioning....or its going to be a long ass night for the both of us you hear?" Rodger said grabbing her by the hair roughly.

"I need you to tell me every-little-bit-of-information you know about Cut Throat..."

"I already told you everything I kno-....." Leila was cut off by another ice bucket been thrown onto her...somehow an eery feeling of déjà vu hit her....

"Wrong answer....TRY AGAIN !"

"Okay...okay ...........Cut Throat? He.....he .....he ...............he is strangely kind..and pure...."

Rodger for the first time since their encounter looked confused "KIND AND PURE? Cut Throat ?! Did I knock you out too hard there missy?"

"He is kind.....and a gentleman.......He also cares a lot about loyalty. He seemed to show some common decency... " she finished unsure if she was about to anger him any further but, Rodger started chuckling

"I don't know if you are describing Cut Throat or Mother Teresa ...?"

" I'm just telling you what I've observed.....it doesn't mean I agree with everything I saw him do......" Leila replied back, Rodger was silent

"That man you're talking about........is a very dangerous man......" Rodger said darkly "You don't even know one percent of the things he has done..."

"I didn't say he isn't ...." Leila replied back.

"You speak so highly of him, but you don't even know much about him? You say he is kind and pure...but that man has more secrets then even I know...and I know him a lot longer then you missy.....and one day you will get hurt by association with him...." Rodger said sternly, "......You haven't seen him do the things I have....you don't seem to know what he is capable of..."

****************************************************

Somewhere across the room Cut Throat, and K.O. heard every word she said. There was an odd silence in the room as it was as far from their imagination as they could have expected.

Cut Throat didn't want to wait any longer, and more importantly he didn't think he could hear more from her...or Rodger, "I'm going in...keep an eye on them..." Cut Throat said, nudging his head in the direction of Oliver and Skinner

"What ! No wait ! You can't just barge in there like tha-!"Oliver yelled

"Shut your face Olly, before I do it for you !" KO said, jamming his gun, roughly into Olly's face, Skinner took a big sigh , his hands still up

Cut Throat opened the door, and stepped in. Familiar cold wind stung his face immediately. It was a room he knew well , he had done countless number of interrogations there himself. If there was something that got him recognized in the C40 quickly, apart from his combat skills was his ability to get information out of their victims. He knew exactly what Rodger was alluding to when he said, he was a very dangerous man, and he wasn't wrong in doing so. It was best if Leila knew. It was more truthful that way.

He found her strapped to the chair, Leila froze as she saw him barge in the room.

"What the fuck are you doing here !" Rodger looked livid, but Cut Throat was distracted, there was just something off with her face, he spent a fraction of a second analyzing it, before he realized what was off. He looked in fury at his senior

"DID YOU FUCKING HIT HER ?!" Cut throat yelled, swiftly raising his gun and pointing it right in the center of Rodgers forehead.
