Del didn't answer her question; instead, he pressed the knife harder against her throat. He made it clear that he was the one in control, and this was not a negotiation.
"What's your name, soldier?" Del asked in a flat tone.
She realized that Del could easily be someone unfriendly, and her life was still in his hands. Swallowing hard, beads of cold sweat formed on her forehead, and the knife pressed into her throat, causing a small cut.
"My name is Anna," she replied briefly.
"What's your mission?" Del asked again, his expression unmoving.
"I can't tell you," Anna replied once more.
"Do you not understand what's happening here? You have no other choice but to answer my questions," Del said, pressing the knife deeper into Anna's throat, and blood started to trickle from the wound.
Anna realized that the man above her was deadly serious about killing her. Still, she steeled herself and gritted her teeth.
