Captured for Interrogation

Sergei took her violently by the hair and drove her face into the floor over and over again.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis felt things breaking and popping, but she struggled. Tears started to form, but she was remaining awake. She freed an arm and threw it back, hoping to catch him in the neck. "Pineapple, godfuckit," she growled softly in the microphone.

 

[bindingeagle]

In a final desperate effort to take her down, Sergei put her in a choke hold.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis struggled against the chokehold. She punched him twice in the groin before catching his gut and his face with her elbow.

 

[bindingeagle]

He got off of her and stepped back, knowing she would be very out of it by now.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis felt out of it, but she felt like she could fight. She stood up shakily, going into a defensive crouch.

 

[bindingeagle]

Sergei kept just out of her reach, letting her burn herself out.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis felt herself going, but was determined to keep fighting. She knew what he was doing, so she kept it a bit more relaxed.

 

[bindingeagle]

Sergei faked high but swept her legs and jumped back.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis jumped, but didn't quite make the landing. She fell with a crash. Still, she had a resort. She found her bag and drew out her SIG and pointed it at Sergei.

 

[bindingeagle]

Sergei saw her draw and took cover behind the bed, digging for his ruger.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis shook her head. "Give it up, Sergei," she said softly in Russian. She shook her head. "Did you really think Nikolai would out of the blue just HAND you his girlfriend for the night?" she asked.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Not really," he said, watching her lean back and forth. "Did you wonder why he hasn't shown up yet?"

 

[celestialdragon]

"He's probably busy, but as you've noticed, I'm a big girl," she said.

 

[bindingeagle]

"That you are," he said. "I'd very much like not to shoot you, but you're making things quite difficult."

 

[celestialdragon]

"Wouldn't be the first time I've been shot," Alexis noted. "I'd prefer not to be shot, but I suppose it could happen. A kink for some, just not for me." She thought she could hear Nikolai outside, running.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Wow, I've never seen someone hallucinate off these things," he said, seeing her attention shift to the door. "I've soundproofed the room."

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis smirked. "Really now?" she said. "So, what exactly did you give me? I know you spiked my drink." She made her way to the door.

 

[bindingeagle]

"I was hoping you'd be asleep by now, honestly," he said.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Why? So you could avoid this?" Alexis asked, opening the door, her SIG trained on him. She ducked out and saw Nikolai and two of his detail. "Need help, Rusky?" she asked.

 

[bindingeagle]

Seeing a window, Sergei shot Nikolai in the calf to drop him to the floor. He retrained the gun on Alexis. "It's clear none of us trusted each other going in, now let's all lower the guns and talk."

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis raised an eyebrow. "Come with us quietly, then. There's someone who would like to talk to you," she said softly. She knelt by Nikolai and, while avoiding her gaze, put pressure on his calf.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Who wants to talk?" he laughed derisively. "She wants to kill me. You're outgunned, drugged, and hurt. I suggest you quit while you're ahead."

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis smiled. "How do you know I won't kill you for her?" she asked, simply, her eyes smiling. She pulled out Nikolai's phone and dialed Georgia. "Hey, your husband says I'm outmanned and outgunned. Can I just shoot him, please?"

 

[bindingeagle]

Georgia sighed. "What is your exact situation?"
