The Interrogation

The sounds typing and whispers filled the room as he watched the interrogation. The HVT was being stubborn judging by his and the interrogator's expression. Daniel looked to his partner, "How long do you think until the guy will break?"

Lena shrugged as she watched interrogation, "I don't know.... 5 hours? Maybe?"

"Ugh, I hope not, I still have paperwork to do." She chuckled at that response and kept watching.

He put his attention back on the interrogation and noticed the interrogator leaving the HVT and got out from the room. "He says he will talk," The man announced, "But only to these two here."

"Alright, let them in." Jeremy, who was sitting behind and watching along with other WPTO agents, answered. "Make sure you two get everything." He ordered.

Daniel gave his brother a smirk and a mock salute, which the latter rolled his eyes at the gesture. He then walked into the interrogation room with his wife and stood beside her as she sat on the chair and eyed at the man before them.

"Alright Thomas, we are here, so you can start talking" He said to the HVT in a demanding tone.

"...."

He crossed his arms at the lack of answer, "Well?" He asked.

"I will talk, " Daniel sensed a 'but' in there. "But," Called it. "Have the mic turn off."

"Are you fucking kidding me?" He heard Lena angrily asked as she slammed the table. "You have the audacity to demand us to do something for you?" She continued as she sound increasingly frustrated.

He felt frustrated too, as the man in front of them caused pain and misery over the years now. And indirectly responsible for the death of their friend and wounded another. But right now, aggression won't be giving any answers. "Alright Thomas, but with one good reason. Why?" He saw Lena stared at him with a questioning expression and answered by mouthing 'Just trust me' before putting his attention back on the HVT.

"Well, I don't want too many people listen in on me." The HVT explained.

"That's a terrible reason" Lena said. He agreed on that.

"Yeah, that's a terrible reason Thomas, so we won't comply with your wish. Now start talking." He saw the face on the HVT going on dark, with a little bit of hints of frustration.

"Fine" The HVT begrudgingly responded. "Revolver is making a move. Well, both he and Wraith. And it's a big one."

"Explain"

"Revolver is thinking that the plan he had all those years won't be enough, so he's planning for a mass destruction. An apocalyptic type of destruction. At least, that's what the psycho bitch Wraith told me."

"I doubt it, he's not that crazy." Lena quickly said, "You are lying" That's a bold accusation, Daniel thought.

"And how do you know that?" The HVT asked. "He's your father? So you are trying to prove his innocence?"

"I....." She looked to the side as she tried to think of an answer, "No... but I just know he won't do that"

"Hmph, right"

"Enough," Daniel quickly interrupt, "Continue where you left off."

"Right, Wraith left me with the responsibility of leading the insurgents. You want to know what's our objective there? Be as a distraction for you, and if we were able to deal with you, our next job was to start attacking some places in Russia. Now that I mentioned it, you two must have saw those news regarding insurgent attacks in other places, yes?"

"Lemme guess, Revolver was behind this?"

"Yeah, although Wraith planned those. All of them were a distraction."

"For what?" Daniel asked, and then realized the main reason behind them. "Don't tell me.."

The HVT nodded, "That's right, a big distraction while Wraith assembled a team to get the thing they need for their plan."

"How much time do we have left until they get all what need?" He quickly asked, dreaded at the thought that a world ending scenario was around the corner.

"Not long now."

"Fucking hell, alright. Tell us, where is Wraith gonna attack next?"

The HVT shrugged as he shook his head, "I don't know, she didn't tell me."

Daniel slammed the table in frustration, "That's not helping Thomas." He felt the urge to shout at the man, maybe punching him. But he suppressed the thought. "Think Thomas, anything. Anything that might help us, help you, not die in a terrible death."

The HVT was silent for a bit, Daniel stared at him, hoping that he remembered anything. "Well.. it's not much, but she did told me where they were storing the weapon's parts."

Well, at least it was better than nothing. He was about to asked the question of the location, he got notification from his PDA, and quickly read it. It was from Jeremy, 'That's good enough, get out from the room and let the agents handle the rest.'

Daniel looked up to the HVT, "Ok Thomas, looks like our time is up, say what you need to say to the agent." He looked to his partner, "Let's go"

She nodded and stood up. They both left the room with her going out first.

"So you guys got all that?" Daniel asked the agents as he got out from the room and closed the door behind him.

"Yes, thank for you the help." One of the agent said. "Go get some rest you two, we will handle it from here." He nodded and left them to approach his partner.

"You alright there Lena?" He asked as he put his hand on her shoulder, trying to comfort her.

"I don't know? Should I? There's a world ending scenario around the corner that will caused by them and you asked if I'm alright?" She snapped, which he was taken aback by the response.

"Whoa, calm down. I'm just worried for you"

She sighed, "Извините, it's just. First, my best friend died, and then I get the news my father was planning to end the world. Which I doubt it....but at the same time...." She trailed off.

"Speaking about that, you said Thomas was lying, why?" He asked, "I mean, I know he's your father and you told me before that he took good care of you, but what made you think that he won't do this?"

"He told me before that, he planned to only involve WPTO and their allies only. And no harm to civilians." She explained, "I mean look, for the past few years, we saw the attacks were only towards PMCs and WPTO's agents. It was only recently that his organization started to attack on cities either directly or with proxy." She added.

Daniel thought that for a bit, and realized that was true. "You are right," It was weird that only recently civilians was involved. But he wondered why. "Ok, but what if... your father truly lost it? What will you do then?"

"I...." He saw the pained expression on her face, "Then I guess we have to make sure he gets put down, end his misery. Along with Wraith, especially her. If my father decided to go crazy, there's no doubt she influenced him"

A cold solution, but probably the only reliable one. He nodded.

"We got the place," He heard an agent said and turned around to face the agent, "You will be going to Germany"
