Captured for Interrogation

[celestialdragon]

"Thank you," she told him. She woke up Nikolai, dressed, and went into the video conference room. "Hello," she said in a tired voice. "Target terminated."

"Alexis- WHAT THE HELL?!" The Director yelled, looking over her and Nikolai. "You two look like you crawled out of the depths of hell!!"

"Nice to see you again, too," Alexis replied dryly. "I realize we look a bit disheveled. . ."

"A bit? Nikolai looks like he hasn't slept in days!"

"Neither of us have really slept," she confessed. "We have the one responsible, and you have my assurances she will be interrogated."

"Good. After that, the two of you are on an indefinite vacation."

"Yes, Sir," she said. She looked up at Nikolai. "Anything you want to say?"

 

[bindingeagle]

"Fuck off, boss, I'm trying to sleep," he managed to say before rolling over."

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis smiled apologetically at the Director, who nodded. "Go. You need sleep."

"Yes, Sir," she said softly. She logged off before returning to bed and nuzzling into Nikolai. She laid awake for a bit, playing with his hair, before falling asleep.

The two slept together or almost a day in a half, only waking to eat. The next morning, after breakfast, Jin knocked on the door. "Hate to wake you, but I was wondering if you would like to join me in interrogation," he said to Alexis.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis nodded and stretched. She kissed Nikolai's cheek as she dressed. "You'll be fine alone for a couple hours?" she asked him softly.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Unless these covers start to attack me, I'll be fine. Go have fun," he said.

 

[celestialdragon]

She chuckled and left with Jin, standing in front of Paige. "What do we have here?" she asked. "al Salehi's daughter. Funny, his files have never mentioned a daughter, just a son."

 

[bindingeagle]

Paige just sat in her chair, staring at the ground.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Awww, is the pretty lady not going to talk?" Alexis asked, crouching down in front of Paige and tilting her head up so the two women were looking at each other. "You're pouting a lot more than I did. Daddy wouldn't want his little girl to pout, would he?"

 

[bindingeagle]

"Daddy only claimed to having a son because he couldn't stand the thought of having a daughter," she snapped back. "And he would have expected a daughter to pout."

 

[celestialdragon]

"Pure Arabic pig," Alexis growled in soft Russian before looking at her. "He would have?" She looked at Jin. "Strip and string her up, please," she said in Mandarin.

 

[bindingeagle]

"How do you want her up?" asked Jin, fighting Paige until she was nude.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Like I was strung up, straight up, legs spread," Alexis said, inspecting her nails. "Now, now, now, don't fight. Jin's being nice."

 

[bindingeagle]

Paige put up a fight but in the end it did her no good. "I'll leave you girls alone for some private time," he said, shutting the door as he left.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis chuckled and circled around Paige for a bit. "I can be nice, or I can be cruel. You've heard about my reputation. But reputation is gossip, it's merely. . . talk. Let's find out whether or not my reputation is fact or fiction." She picked up a cat o' nine tails and stroked it. "Tell me everything about your father's operation."

 

[bindingeagle]

"He kept me out of it, running the legitimate side of things. I didn't get to run anything else until he died, and I left that to his advisors when I branched solely into human trafficking," she said.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis raised her eyebrow. "You solely branched into human trafficking. Why?"

 

[bindingeagle]

"I found the most reliable contacts and it was the best way to locate you," she said.

 

[celestialdragon]

"So, heading into human trafficking was solely to pursue me? As revenge for me killing your father?" she asked.

 

[bindingeagle]

"That and good money," she said. "But I assume you're going to punish me no matter what I tell you."

 

[celestialdragon]

"Yes, but the way I punish you is dependent on your answers. I think I have the thing." She brought out a flash drive and walked over to a computer. After turning on the speakers and cuing up the flashdrive, she began to play a track.

It was the track from her and al Salehi's time. "This is what your father did to me," she said softly. "And technically, I didn't kill him. Nikolai did. Because of this. It's for your listening enjoyment. I'll be back."

She left the room and waited by Jin.

 

[bindingeagle]

Paige sat through the video, watching more in amusement than anything else. "Play it again, I want some pointers," she called out.

 

[celestialdragon]

"I need a different approach," Alexis whispered to Jin. "That normally would've melted hearts."

 

[bindingeagle]

"I can't push rewind, I need a bit of help!" she yelled.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis frowned. "I got it," she said. She entered the cell again. "Nope, got a new track for you to listen to," she told her captive. She set a new track up, one of the ones that Georgia had lent her. She smiled warmly at Paige. "Enjoy."
