Jesse still finds this preferable to having Efi’s hands stained
with blood. He’d always thought of her as a kind of artist; her
hands were made to build, not destroy. He couldn’t have been
responsible for the light leaving her eyes, and if that meant her
dragging him to hell then so fuckin be it.
He doesn’t know how long it’s been since he’s seen the
sunlight. Or since this whole thing started. He finds that he can’t
tell, but if he had to guess he’d say they’ve been at it for about
a week. Asking about Reyes. Blackwatch. Deadlock. The works.
He aint about to tell them shit though.
More questions are screamed. Jesse returns with more defiant
silence and earns more blows for his efforts. He’s starting to get
used to that. The pain.
He must have blacked out for a moment because when he
opens his eyes again, there’s Efi, standing there with a pipe,
clear as day through one of his eyes that aren’t swelled shut.
He looks awful.
“ey, honey.” he croaks, voice weak.
efi stood with the pipe in her hands. her bruised and burned fingers let go of the pipe as soon as her senses came down to earth and let the metallic sound echo in the tiny room. she jumped a bit, the sound scaring her despite it being her fault.
brown eyes looked over at the hunched figure, her lips twisting into one of confliction. stepping over the pipe she approached him. without warning she embraces him, not saying a word and just holding him for a moment before letting go. her eyes water seeing him like this, in this state, it broke her heart.
“ ....jesse, i-i’m sorry. i-i didn’t want this to happen i- ”
“ miss oladele. do your job. ” a muffled voice called to her, impatience in his tone.
she looked towards the door and back to him, eyes wide and hands shaking. she drew a deep breath before take a step back, “ ...just tell us what they want to know please, it’ll be so much easier for you. they’ll send you back and everyone will forget about this, so just tell me what it is that’s so important. ” her voice wavered as she spoke but she remained loud so that the talon agents could hear that she was trying.
“ please jesse? ” she hated this. this was the worst, she never thought she would be interrogating her best friend while he was beat up.
