May be giving up would not be so bad (4)

Sou awake again, now she have enough strength to actually sit by herself. Its a torture to move her body, but she choose to sit than lying down. She start to look around and realize that its already bright outside. The room have few recessed lamps as light source but the small ventilation hole let her see a glimpse of outside sky. Unfortunately the hole is too high, she can't reach it. She then found a peeking hole on the door, sadly it can only opened from outside. The drip almost empty now and some how her gut contracted in fear when realize it. A hunch of something terrible will happen to her soon and she can do nothing to prevent it. A toilet with half body cover can be found in one corner, a need to empty her bladder come. She pushed herself to stand, walking is agony, she feel dizzy but the need have to fulfilled. With the support of drip pole in her left, she staggered to the toilet.

She just finish clean up when the heavy door open. The guard push a wheel chair inside, coming closer to her and gesture her to sit. She can only follow with pray in her heart, wish she can still survive this ordeal.

In the another room, Rommy flip a document in front of him. "The sequence of The Bamboo dance by Suzanna Hemming?" he ask Xiao Han who sitting behind the desk,

"Yup"

"A dance?"

"Yup"

"Hell, we need she to tell us about a dance?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Damn it, man...if you need some one teach you about a dance move, don't you thing she need to able to move first? And now, the girl just barely do so. How you plan for her for dance then?"

"She can just talk"

Rommy seeing Xiao Han in disbelief, "Just try then" he snicker at him.

"You don't want to know the reason we need to know the dance move?"

"Not really, is it important?"

"Of course, if you know the reason you will understand why the organization desperate about it"

"Will it make me understand why we need interrogate her until she can't move while the information is about movement?"

"...."

Rommy put the document on the desk, "Well, whatever. You do the interrogation, i do the recording"

"You always choose the easy one, humph"

"What can i do, i am weak hearted. I can bully such a little girl"

"She is twenty five"

Rommy stunned, "Well, she look like fifteen"

Xiao Han chuckle hearing Rommy squawk.

"Anyway," Xiao Han straightened his back, "Do you know the story of Hemming's treasure?"

"Yeah, a security system that even stronger than our group have, right?"

"Not just that, it's also have the ability to detect any thing in the world. No one can hide in the front of it, the technology so omnipotent that the owner can easily found the organism from the middle of earth with minor information as lead"

"That great?" Rommy amazed,

"Yeah, can you imagine the power it held?"

Rommy nodded, "Then, why the dance move?"

"Henry Hemming love his wife Suzanna so much, she is a dancer. He set her last dance as a key to the system brain and teach it to a a girl"

"Sou?"

"Yes. Not only that, he erased the existence of the girl from any record. He also erased any record about the dance. I think he plan to erased the system but not having a heart to do so because it was his lifetime work, yet hate it the same because his wife killed because of it"

"So, Sou is the last key?"

"Yes"

"So why not just cheats her to help? Why need to do this far?"

"They tried but failed"

"So the soft way failed, they resort the hard way?"

"Yes, that's why we are here"

"Still, with your plan, we bound to failed. Or worse, she die on the process"

Xiao Han breathed hard, what Rommy said was make a sense. But he don't know other way, it's the first time for him too - to withdraw information about a movement.

"So what is your suggestion?"

"About what?"

"To extract the information"

"You are the lead, your call"

"Rommy, come on"

"The long way - make her trust us and brain washed her, short way - brain reading" -'Uh, sorry Dennis'-Rommy said in his mind.

Xiao Han contemplate a bit then say "Brain reading then".

Rommy doesn't have any feeling to Sou, not even a pity. He already dive to deep and too long in this line of job, that little girl have nothing to move his heart. He just agree to help the rescue mission for his only friend - Dennis. The only one that he trust and would never betray, almost like obsession. So little did Dennis know, Rommy will unhesitant to erase Sou if she proven bad for Dennis. Covertly, of course. He will not risk Dennis to hate him, so he have no qualm to the interrogation method they will use to Sou.
