"Thank you, please hold off the gunship until the hostage situ-"
With 19 minutes left until the hostiles are supposed to be executed, Demman's radio switches to the man's voice again. He speaks with a slight tone of nervousness.
"I am tired of your insolence. Say goodbye to your citizens."
At that moment, a huge explosion is heard and felt in the distance. Fire squads relocate to the south end where a great plume of smoke is rising. Civillians are being relocated to the South Nimun Shelter. APCs follow. The State Millitary is called in.
A cowardly captive from the hostile lines is brought to a dark room, escorted by two district marshals. The man is immediately strapped down in a chair and left alone. The man is whimpering from the SEMT burn on his left shoulder. The Marshals that brought him in leave the room. There is silence all except for the man's small cries. Demman enters the room slowly and walks up to the man, and tenderly slides her hand under the man's head and turns his head up towards her, so as to look him directly in the eyes. Demman then harshly slaps the man across the face with her other hand and turns away, facing the opposite wall.
She speaks in a smooth, deep voice: (Translated from Erinamese)
Demman: "Listen to me once, and once only."
Demman: "I realize that this drug cartel in Nimun is quite large, and I acknowledge its presence here."
She pauses. The man continues to whimper, now also for his severely bruised cheek.
Demman: "However, I have reason to believe that this operation exists in more than just South Nimun, more than just Erinaum."
She turns toward the man.
Demman: "So tell me~ Where are your other sources?"
???: *gasp* "I'm not--" *gasp* "telling you anythin-" *gasp* "you goddamn witch!"
Demman walks slowly up to the man, who now begins to utter choking sobs.
Demman: "I'm sorry, that's not the correct answer. I'll give you one more chance to answer me properly. You act as if I don't know about you at all, as if Erinaum doesn't know that you exist. You see, Vålderesk has all of its criminals and suspicious figures documented, and we've already sourced your information, Vanitie Zhoko. We know that you have travelled outside Erinaum for operations more than 38 times. With that, I ask you what you know. Are you going to give me the right answer?"
Zhoko: "The sources-- *gasp* -are in Christopher City."
Zhoko continues sobbing. Demman turns to face away from him.
She pauses for a brief moment.
Demman: "Thank you for playing, Vanitie Zhoko."
Outside the interrogation room, a shot is heard from inside. The sobbing stops. DMC Demman walks out and whispers to men wearing black suits just outside the door. They promptly walk away down the hall to the left. Demman walks down the hall to the right who motions the marshals, who return to carry the body away.
OOC: Erinaum does not negotiate with terrorists.
