Chapter 12 - Extracting the Truth

It was already 8:30 in the evening and the station was almost empty except for a few nightshift cops.
- “Kenny, why are you here so late?” One of them asked.
- “I’ve captured this guy. He’s a hitman who was sent to kill me. I’ll need to use the interrogation room and a lie detector.” Kenny replied.
- “All right, go ahead.” The cop in the front entrance lobby let him in.
Angelika didn’t go in with them, she teleported to where Kenny was once he passed the guards. They seated the hitman at the table in the interrogation room, then Kenny strapped a lie detector onto him and then together Kenny and Angelika began asking him questions.
- “What is your name?” Kenny asked first.
- “Piss off!” The guy responded.
Kenny grabbed a tazer from the table and tazed the guy.
- “If you won’t speak then I’ll have to turn to sodium pentathol to squeeze the truth out of you.” Kenny demanded.
- “Go ahead. I don’t care.” The guy said without interest.
- “What is your name?” Kenny asked.
The guy carried on with silence and even looked away.
- “Let me try.” Angelika said.
She walked up to the hitman. He looked into her eyes and suddenly she linked her mind with his.
- “What are you doing to me?” the guy got terrified.
- “You want to speak the truth and you will spill out everything you know.” Angelika kept on repeating 3 times.
The guy then went even more silent than he was.
- “You didn’t tell me you could mind control.” Kenny said to Angelika.
- “Just a tiny bit.”
- “Then why don’t you do the same with every evil person.”
- “I can’t change the way people think. I can only partially take control of some aspects such as lying and short-term memory.” Angelika explained.
- “OK, I get it.”
- “You can ask him questions now. He’ll speak the truth. For tonight at least anyways.”
- “All right, thanks.” Kenny thanked Angelika and then turned to the hitman.
The hitman turned towards Kenny. He still had the look of fear on his face. Kenny then repeated his question:
- “What is your name?”
- “My name is Chris and I am a hired killer.” The guy said.
- “OK Chris. Who exactly sent you and why does he or she want to kill me?” Kenny asked another question.
- “His name is Rabid Wolf. He’s one of my friends and occasionally I work for him too. I don’t know why he wants to kill you. He just told me your name and address.” Chris answered.
- “That’s the same robber.” Angelika said.
- “When’s the last time you spoke to him?” Kenny asked.
- “I spoke to him day before yesterday on the phone and then yesterday morning again. That’s when he gave me this assignment.”
- “All right. Do you know why Rabid Wolf needed so many guns?”
- “No, he hasn’t even told me about them.” Chris said.
- “OK…” Kenny thought to himself, “I don’t think I have any more questions. Angelika, do you?”
- “No, I don’t think we have any more use for him. I’ll just continue doing what I do.” Angelika replied, “I doubt I’ll be able to extract anything out of his mind.”
- “I see. In that case I’ll just lock him up.”
- “Screw you!” Chris said angrily.
Kenny ignored that and then took the guy out of the room. A couple of cops came across him. He told them to lock him up in the cell block until he gets his trial.
- “What are you going to do now?” Angelika asked Kenny.
- “Ah I think I’ll just go home and unwind. I tried to do so earlier, but this scum had to be an obstacle.”
- “I’ll give you company if you want.” Angelika suggested.
- “Sure, sounds good.”
