Chapter Twenty One
*Ariya*
When I got back to work the next day we had a debriefing. Boss went over what we found. No one went back to the house. They tried finding a scent and didn’t get anywhere. No other information came out of interrogating Tex. They interrogated others and found nothing else. When they kept coming up empty they went to the overpass. Finding no trace of us there they tried to contact us. When we didn’t respond they grew concerned. So they went out mile by mile and checked in before moving out further. By that time, 6 hours had passed. They found the bloody mess from our first battle with the rabid vampire.
We went over that fight for a bit. Everyone seemed terrified when we told them the amount of damage that Link had done to the rabid and the rabid still got up. No one could comprehend why Drake would save us. But they didn’t question it too much. After they had seen the scene they scoured the area we fought in for signs of life. Finding nothing and only one body they continued searching.
Eventually, Justin found us and called it in. From there all other search parties were disbanded and Boss came to see us. Like the first fight, we went over this one in closer detail. Everyone was again, surprised and amazed that we didn’t get killed. Once all the information was on the table, Boss dismissed everyone but me.
“Ariya, I have a special task I need you to complete,” Boss told me.
“Of course, what is it?” I asked.
“We found and captured another person that might have information on Drake’s whereabouts. However, it is proving to be difficult to get information out of them.”
My eyes narrowed, “Why not use a Switch?”
“They were all dispatched looking for you guys. But, now that you’re back, I figured you could partner up with Olivia again and see what you both could get out of them.” Boss said.
“Of course, I’ll go get Olivia and we’ll meet you at the interrogation room.” I told him.
“Thank you.” Boss smiled.
As I went to leave to go find Olivia, Boss hollered out, “Oh and Ariya, it’s interrogation room number 3.”
“Yes, sir.”
That was odd. We only had one other person that we were interrogating. Tex and this mystery person. It didn’t make sense to use the third room if we only had two people. Maybe I didn’t know who the third person was. I didn’t take too much time to think of it. I quickly went to find Olivia. Once I found her I told her what Boss requested. She then went with me where we met up with Boss. Boss stayed behind the one way glass while Olivia and I walked into the cold, dark room.
Boss flicked on the light to reveal who we were interrogating. Just like Tex, the person’s hands and feet were bound to the chair. As I saw who we were interrogating I froze. A lump caught in my throat and concern was written all over my face. I couldn’t believe it. Keo. He really was alive.
