Interrogation

It was the day after the night attack. The dark, ominous clouds that covered the sky embodied the team's mood. The anger of losing an innocent life still burned in their minds. They currently had no information on the group. The only true information they had was the color of their uniforms and their mission: 'to better the world'. They did have one possible lead: Toshan Amit.

In the morning, John and TP decided to drive back to Amit's mansion to find out everything he knows. John was driving, as usual, while TP sat in the passenger seat, staring out of the window.

"So," Said John. "Ya ready to get some revenge?"

"You realize that he will try to fight back?" Said TP.

"I'm kind of hoping he does." Said John with a smirk on his face.

"So what is your plan then?" Said TP

"We ask nicely, and if he doesn't answer, then we make him."

"That's it?"

"That's it."

"Looks like you have this one all figured out." Said TP sarcastically.

John smiled and kept driving. John never really focused on a plan. He only focused on the mission and would do anything to achieve it. Everyone on the team knew this.

Soon, after passing a few bumps and potholes, the two reached the gates of Amit's house. John stopped the old truck and looked towards TP.

"One more thing." He said.

"What?" Said TP.

"There's a woman in there. A Bengal tiger."

"We need to save her?"

John nodded his head yes.

"Why?" Asked TP.

"I made a promise." Said John.

TP nodded his head in agreement. The gates began to open and John drove the truck through the driveway. John parked the car and the two walked out. They stepped forcefully up the stairs and to the front door. John took a deep breath and was about to knock on the door, but before he could knock, a large man opened the door. The man glared at them and John glared back.

"Good morning sir." TP said respectively.

"Amit wants to see you." The man said in his deep voice.

TP and John walked inside escorted by the guard. The house looked the same, but there seemed to be an increased number of guards. They were on the stairs, by the window, and in almost ever hallway they walked through. TP looked at John and whispered.

"So what's that plan again?"

John chuckled a little and kept walking with his head held high. The two soon walked through a hallway next to the pool. John took a look and saw all the women in their purposely, small bikinis. All of them were anthros. They all had the same tired and expressionless face as the aimlessly swam and lounged in the pool. Then, John saw her. He saw Aesha wearing her black bathing suit and sitting on the side of the pool. She looked down into the water, saying nothing, doing nothing. Then she raised her head and glanced at John. John was able to see her face light up for a second, and then the window ended and she disappeared.

Soon, the two were lead into Amit's office. The room reeked of a terrible perfume. It was over decorated with frivolous paintings and glossy weapons. The two walked in and sat down on two chairs in front of a desk covered in papers and somewhat precious knick-knacks.

"Welcome gentleman." A voice said. It was Amit. He stood in the corner of the room staring at a painting. He turned around and was holding a golden knife in his hand.

"Didn't see you there for moment." Said John jokingly. Then he looked at Amit's knife and said. "That's quite a weapon ya got there."

Amit laughed and said. "I love this guy. He knows quality a weapon when he sees one."

Amit walked to his desk, sat down, and continued to talk.

"I also loved your work out there. Excellent job with the guns and the explosions and the action! Ha! I love it!"

TP and John still kept a straight face. Amit cleared his throat and continued.

"Anyway, I am a man of my word."

Amit signaled his guard with a hand wave and the guard picked up a small, silver case and placed it on Amit's desk. Amit opened it and said.

"And here it is, 5,000 rupees. I hope you use it well."

John then looked at TP and winked.

"5,000 rupees." Said John. "Impressive. Although, one thing is bugging me."

Amit smiled again and said.

"And what is that my friend?"

John looked at Amit with a grin and said.

"I wonder how much you have been paying Khan?"

The room then fell silent. Amit lost his smile and began to look serious, but worried.

"How do you know Khan?" Said Amit.

John then slid close to the desk and said. "That doesn't matter. What matters is that we need you to tell us everything you know about the attack and Khan."

Amit's devilish smile then came back. He laid back in his chair and said.

"And...what if I don't?"

"You will." Said TP in a calm way.

Then, Amit raised his hands to signal his guards. The two guards behind John and TP then raised their handguns and aimed at the backs of the jackal and the bay equine. John just sat there and smiled at Amit. TP kept a straight face.

"Get out of my mansion." Demanded Amit.

John and TP both stood up from their chairs.

"What? No money?" Asked John jokingly.

Amit laughed and said. "Well, it's funny how much trouble our mouths get us into."

John then grinned and said. "I bet you know a lot about that."

Amit lost his smile again. Then John looked at TP and quickly winked. That's when TP immediately punched the guard behind him in the neck. At the same time, John spread out his fingers and clawed the guard behind him in the face. Once both guards were disorientated, both John and TP twisted the guards' arms, took their guns, and then forcefully knocked them out. John quickly turned around and saw Amit run out of a secret back door in his office, with the suitcase of money.

"That bastard." Said John.

TP then looked through the hallway and saw a large group of guards rushing to the office.

"So John, how's that plan going?" He said.

"You can never give me a break, huh TP?" Said John with a smile. "Get Amit, I'll find Aesha."

TP didn't hesitate and quickly ran for the back door. John took the safety off the handgun and began firing at the guards as they rushed down the hallway. He managed to get three guards, but five more took cover and shot back. John then hid for cover. He was pinned to the office. He frantically looked around the office for an idea. Then he found out the desk had wheels. John then grinned. He pushed the chairs out of the way and started to push the desk into the hallway. All the guards then got out of cover and aimed at the office. Although, all they saw was the desk rolling out of the room. Then, suddenly, John raised his gun over the desk and fired at the guards. His shots were sporadic, but managed to kill three more guards. He looked up over the desk to check, but he quickly went down in cover as the guards shot the edge of the desk. They kept firing and firing. The desk was breaking apart, piece-by-piece. Still, John just waited for the right time. Eventually, the shooting stopped. The guards needed to reload. John quickly took the opportunity by pushing the desk straight for the guards. One of the guards jumped out of the way while the other guard was run over by the large wooden desk. The other guard tried to get up and recover, but John was already in front of him. John shot him in both legs and said. "Stay down."

Suddenly, he heard feminine screams from up stairs. He quickly grabbed another handgun, reloaded it, and head for the stairs. For a brief moment, he saw that the guards were forcing all the anthro girls up stairs as they quickly disappeared upstairs. More guards ran back to John. John had the perfect opportunity once more. He quickly raises his two handguns and took out every guard that ran to the stairs. One by one, they were all shot down as John walked higher and higher up the steps. Once John reached the top, all the guards were down. The area was clear.

"Who the hell trained you guys?" Said John jokingly.

John then ran through the hallways to find Aesha. He was searching door after door, but couldn't find anything. He then heard the screams again. He quickly ran to its direction through the large mansion. He finally reached a door where the voices were very loud and clear. He listened closely and heard.

"Shut it! All of you! Mr. Amit once all of you to remain here!"

John then stood in front of the door, took a deep breath and knocked twice. The room was quiet. John just waited. Suddenly, the doorknob turned and the door slowly opened. John didn't give the guard a chance to see him as quickly kicked the door open, and punched him in the face. Then he quickly grabbed the guard's head and rammed it into the wall. The guard then fell unconscious. John smirked a little in accomplishment, and then he quickly scanned the room of anthro girls. He saw Aesha sitting down and hiding in the corner. He gave her a comforting smile. Her tail flicked around in relief and she began to smile.

"Alright, now everyone remain calm." Said John now addressing everyone.

He was then about to utter another word until a guard grabbed him from behind and threw him to the other side of the hall way. The girls screamed again as John was thrown to the wall. The guard then grabbed John's throat and started choking him. John struggled and kicked as the guard's hands suffocated him. He then started punching and clawing the guard repeatedly. Once John reached his face, the guard let go of him and screamed in agony. John coughed a little and caught his breath as he fell to the ground. The guard then tried to kick John in the face, but John quickly blocked it and punched the guard in the face. John then threw punch after punch at the guard. He slowly stepped backwards after each hit. Then, when the guard's back was right up against the window, he blocked one of John's punches and choked him again. John quickly reacted by choking the guard also. The two pushed against each other, both of them losing air second by second. Then John quickly glanced at the window, hatching an idea. He then put his full strength in pushing the guard through the window. The glass of the window brook as the guard was pushed out. As he panicked, the guard then grabbed a hold on John and pulled him down. Soon the two were lunged out of the upstairs window, John still strangling the guard. Luckily, the two fell into the pool. Suddenly, TP was thrown out through a window and fell down at the side of the pool. He took a moment to gather himself and then slowly stood back up. Pieces of glass were all around him as he stood there looking at two guards responsible. TP then grabbed his waist and pick up his two-signature battle knifes. He flipped both of them in his hands and said. "Now, you die."

The guards then ran to TP with no fear. TP quickly reacted by kicking one guard in the chest. He then quickly stabbed the other guard in the side of the stomach. One guard recovered form the kick and started to throw random punches at TP. TP managed to dodge them all and get behind the guard. He stabbed him quickly in the back, spun around to punch him in the face, and then quickly sliced his chest. The guard fell to the ground in pain. Then the other guard tried to attack TP from behind. TP immediately stabbed the guard on his leg and flung him to his back. Both guards laid there in pain as TP holstered his knifes. Soon, John was climbing out of the pool dripping wet and coughing again. TP noticed him and said. "Decided to go for a swim?"

John laughed and tried to dry off. Suddenly, the two heard a loud female scream. It caught both of their attentions, but they immediately froze when they saw the source. Amit had Aesha in a choke hold with one arm and a handgun held in one hand pointing to the side of her head. Aesha trembled in Amit's skinny arms, her tail frozen upward. John gridded his teeth in anger as he and TP stared Amit down.

"You have become very close to this slut, huh?!" Yelled Amit in a tired, breathy voice. "You move, I shoot!"

John and TP stood stone still. Amit Laughed at the Jackal and Bay equine's honor.

"Now." Continued Amit. "I go to my car, I drive away, and the tiger lives."

John and TP still did not move. They watched as Amit quickly looked back to his truck and then stared back at the two. He walked slowly to the truck while staring at the two. Aesha started to hyperventilate. Amit pushed the gun to her head hard, forcing her to stop.

"Shut it, you whore!" He yelled. "Or I will..."

Suddenly, a gunshot rang through everyone's ears. John and TP quickly focused on Aesha, but it was Amit who screamed in pain. He was shot in his ankle. He flailed his arms in the air and Aesha fell to the ground immediately. John quickly took the chance and lunged himself on top of Amit, strangling him to his back. Aesha laid on the floor crying. TP ran to Aesha to comfort her.

"Got ya now, you bastard." Growled John.

"Who fired?" Asked TP.

As soon as TP asked, Nathaniel and Baker walked out from behind Amit's truck. Nathaniel held an M16 in one hand and said. "How do you rate that shot TP?"

TP grinned and answered. "7 out of 10."

John pulled the gun from Amit's hand and stood up next to him as he laid on the ground in pain.

"You...are all fools." Said Amit.

Nathaniel and Baker then crowded over Amit, staring down at him in almost a mocking way. Nathaniel pointed the barrel of the gun to Amit's forehead and said.

"General Khan. Talk."

Amit coughed, then said.

"He's a decorated general in the Indian army. They say he never loses a battle."

"So how do you know him?" Asked TP.

"I paid him for protection, but he cut me off. He said he was tired of protecting filthy creatures and that he has a plan to get rid of all of them...including me. So I called you."

"He ordered the attack." Explained Baker.

"Where can we find him?"

Amit then smiled and began to laugh.

"He will kill all of you...and then me. You have...no chance."

Nathaniel pushed the gun's barrel closer to Amit's head.

"You want to try to give us a better answer?" he said.

Amit continued to smile and said. "He likes to hide at an old military camp. The location...is on my desk, but now he knows who you are....you don't have to find him."

"Why is that?" Asked John.

"Because, he'll find you." Amit said, then he laughed some more. "See you in hell."

John punched Amit in the face, knocking him out.

"Thank god you did that." Said Baker. "I thought I would have to shut him up."

John walked over to Aesha, who was still crying softly. John helped her up and wiped her tears.

"It's okay, it's over." He said. "You guys scan the house...I'm taking her to the village."

The rest of the team began searching for information in what was left of the house while John drove away with Aesha.

It wasn't long before John and Aesha drove into the village. The whole ride was silent as John focused on the dirt road and Aesha aimlessly looked out the window. John stopped the car at a small inn. The sudden stop took Aesha by surprise as she quickly looked towards John.

"Well, here you go." Said John looking outside the window. "Here's a small place to live for now. The village has lots of work. I'm sure you can make a good living here."

Aesha looked into John's eyes and put her hands on his.

"When can I see you again?" She said.

John picked up her hand and kissed it.

"Sorry girl...this is goodbye." He said. John put her hand down and said. "Now go live your life."

Aesha looked down, but then looked back up at John with a smile. She kissed his cheek and said. "Thank you."

She left the car and walked into the inn. John chuckled a little bit, and then drove off.
