Interrogating Hellman

V and Panam caught Hellman who was still on the crash site being treated by the Nomads that rushed there to help. Some of the Nomads were wounded since they fought against Kang Tao's men.

V grabs Hellman by his collar before dragging him away while telling Panam to call her if she needed some help from her.

V knocks Hellman out before calling her car which needed fifteen minutes to arrive. She opens the trunk and puts him in it before entering the car taking over the wheel while booking a room in the Motel in the Badlands in which Panam lives at the moment.

She drags Hellman into the booked room and puts him on a chair before binding him to it when Johnny says, "I didn't know that you have a kink for BDSM."

"Shut up, Johnny. We both want to get this behind us and go our separate ways," says V at Johnny since Hellman was still out.

She calls Takemura and Jackie to tell them that she has Hellman before she returned to Hellman. She grabbed a bucket and filled it with water before dropping it over Hellman and waking him up.

Hellman looked around confused not knowing what was going on when he tried to stand up and realized that he was tied down to the chair he was sitting on.

He began to panic when V comes out of the shadow with a chair which she puts before Hellman and sits down in one motion while saying, "Relax, I am not Arasaka. If I were you would be dead and not alive at the moment."

"Who are you?" asks Hellman nervous as V leans back for a moment before moving forward scaring the scientist.

"I am V, it was quite hard to find you and even harder to get to you. But in the end... well, you can figure the rest out by yourself," says V as she looked behind Hellman seeing Johnny leaning against the wall beside the window.

"What do you want from me? Money?" asks Hellman nervous trying to hide his fear which wasn't successful since V could see it all over his face.

"I need information about the new project of Arasaka what was its name again," says V sarcastically before saying, "Right, 'Relic' what can you tell me about it?"

"The Relic is just a prototype that hasn't even been completed yet. I should know it since I am the leading scientist spearheading the research on it," says Hellman nervous when V pulls her gun out and puts it against his head.

"Don't lie to me, Hellman. I know that the Relic is completed since I have one inside my fucking brain," says V as she puts her free hand beside her head while pointing at it before putting the gun against Hellman's kneecap.

"If you lie again one of your knees will suffer the consequences of your actions," says V in a dangerous tone as she removes the safety and puts her finger on the trigger.

"Now think again, what do you know about the Relic?" asks V seriously as Hellman could see her killing intent in her eyes.

"The Relic is a Biochip that was made to store and manifest the consciousness of digitalized human beings better known as Engrams. But how did you even...," says Hellman before remembering the incident in the Konpeki Plaza.

"That can't be... We were told that the people involved were killed by a third-party," says Hellman shocked almost pissing himself because he was seeing a ghost.

"Oh, I was dead for at least a week before the fucking biochip revived me and right now the Engram on it is my fucking sidekick following me anywhere I go," says V in a serious tone mixed with anger making Hellman piss himself.

"There was no reason to piss yourself. You are worth more alive than dead," says V as she leaned forward and asks, "How can I remove the Relic so he and I can be separated again?"

"Amen, sister," says Johnny from behind Hellman who couldn't see or hear him.

"You can speak with the Engram that isn't possible. The Relic was made to inhabit dead bodies making the Engram take over the dead body completely. If you really have a Relic in your head it couldn't be possible that you are still alive except...," says Hellman losing his fear as he entered his scientist mode.

"That means you put the chip into your biometric system before you died," says Hellman surprised since this was never tested before.

"How does it feel?" asks Hellman now curious when V shoots her gun while pointing at the ceiling remembering him why he was really here at the moment.

"I am not here to exchange pleasantries. I want to know how to remove the biochip from my head," says V seriously as Hellman was back at being fearful.

"There is no way to remove the chip while you are still alive. The only way would be to go to Arasaka and ask them to remove it but that would be a death sentence," says Hellman nervous as V flinched for a moment not liking that at all.

"Well, it seems we are stuck until death separates us," says Johnny joking about it.

"Not funny, Johnny," says V angry out loud which Hellman catches up.

"You can talk to the construct?" asks Hellman curious as V reminds him again who is asking the questions making Hellman shut his mouth.

"I want all of the data on the Relic right now. I will ask an expert to help me with this matter," says V as Hellman transfers all the data he has to V before they hear someone knocking on the door.

"It seems our time is up," says V to Hellman as she stands up and walks towards the door.

She opens the door and sees Goro and Jackie behind it. They were glad that V was doing well even if Jackie was the only one showing it by giving her a bear hug.

"Chica, I thought you were avoiding me lately," says Jackie joking about their current situation.

"I had many things to do," says V happy to see Jackie before asking, "How is it going helping the Corpo dog around."

"It could be worse," says Jackie when Goro tells them that he will take care of Hellman and that Jackie can rest for a while.

The duo goes to the bar in the motel and V buys a pack of cigarettes unconsciously which Jackie takes out of her hands.

"I didn't know that you smoke," says Jackie seriously as V realized what she has just done.

"Fuck, Johnny is playing me," says V angry when Johnny appears beside her.

"Guilty, your Honor," says Johnny as he sits down beside V while Jackie orders two cold beers for them to pass some time to relax for a bit.

"Have you found Evelyn?" asks V as Jackie shakes his head.

"It is almost as if NC had swallowed her whole leaving nothing behind," says Jackie seriously before taking a sip from his beer.

"You should try to talk to that girl in Lizzie. She might know more about Evelyn's whereabouts," says Jackie remembering that V talked about a girl that helped her and Evelyn before.

"Shit, I have totally forgotten about her," says V as she stands up almost falling when Jackie catches her.

"When was the last time you have slept?" asks Jackie worried as V sighs.

"It has been some time," says V not lying to her best friend.

"How about you finish your drink and I take you home. I can't have you drive like this and the Corpo won't run away," says Jackie offering V to take her home.

"Thanks, Jackie," says V as she finished her drink before Jackie takes her home, once at home she just drops into her bed to sleep.

The next day, V went to Lizzie's in the evening. She thought that she would be alone only to find the couple already waiting for her there.

"You didn't think we would let you have all the fun," says Nesiara joking about it.

"I need the information on the Relic so I can study it. Can you send it to Vik, he wants to take a look as well," says John to V whose eyes begin to glow bluish before they returned to their natural color.

"All done, Vik should have received the documents," says V as they walked toward the bouncer who looks at them.

"John, don't destroy something like last time or Suze will be angry," says the bouncer joking about what happened in the Bar when John and Nesiara needed to grab their target that was inside Lizzie's.

John didn't destroy anything it was the target that destroyed two dozens of bottles full of liquor on John's head thinking he would fall over which didn't happen.

"Rachel, I thought you were studying to get out of here," says John to the bouncer who could be his granddaughter.

"Yes, but it doesn't feed you so I have to work here until then," says Rachel as John just pets her head.

"I wish you good luck," says John before they passed her.

"So what happened the last time you were here?" asks V curious as Nesiara only smiles before telling her the story.

"I still had to pay for the damage I didn't cause," says John adding to it as they went through the club when V goes to the barkeeper with the couple.

"Remember me?" asks V of the man behind the counter.

"Of course, Miss V," says the man when he looks at John and Nesiara and says, "You have some special company with you."

"I know," says V not knowing what the man was talking about.

"Do you really?" asks the man before John coughs twice and tells V what the man was talking about.

"You did what?!" says V as John just told her that Lizzie's Bar is under John's and Nesiara's protection at the moment.

"It is a long story," says Nesiara as she looked at the man.

"Is Judy here?" asks Nesiara leaning forward knowing that the man was gay.

"She is downstairs and I am worried about her," says the man worried about Judy.

"What happened?" asks V now worried as well.

"Her girlfriend disappeared without a trace after the Konpeki Plaza Incident. Judy tried to find her without success so far and since she isn't a Mox we didn't ask for help as we normally do," says the man looking at John and Nesiara who normally deal with those things when someone of theirs disappears like that.

"We should talk with the girl," says John worried since anxiety could lead to something far worse in this city for example suicide with all the guns lying around NC.

They leave the barkeep and follow V as they walk through some corridors that were being used at the moment before arriving at the backstage room.

Hope you like it. I had some time finally to write a chapter.
