Chapter 116: Ayla

I watched Theo punch in a code that opened a floor hatch in the cramped utility room. He opened it and guided me down the narrow stairs, going deeper than expected. The place was all stone walls, but I could tell there were additions to areas.

Theo stopped outside a door down the hall where a warrior stood guard.

“Let me go in first, okay?” he told me. “You can watch from there.” He pointed to the dark glass window nearby. “Press the button to hear what’s going on.”

I nodded.

He kissed my head and entered the cell. I moved to the glass. There were two other men in the room with Theo. The one tied to the chair was obviously Randall, but I didn’t know who the other male was. Whoever he was, he was changing out an IV bag attached to Randall’s arm. I had a strong feeling the bag didn’t contain hydrating fluids.

I pushed the speaker button as Theo sat down in front of him. Theo pulled out a piece of paper and set it down on the small table between them, pushing it forward for Randall to see.

“Who is she?” Theo asked firmly.

Randall twitched as he looked at the paper and back at Theo. “You tell me,” he replied with a weak smirk.

“Who is she?” Theo commanded.

“Ayla Garner,” Randal spat.

I tried not to react at hearing him say my name.

“What’s your interest in her? Why are you looking for her?”

Randall started to sputter, every muscle in his body straining fiercely, his veins bulging from his neck. But no words escaped.

“Come on, Randall,” Theo said. “You’ve got wolfsbane flowing

through you. You won’t last much longer. Answer my question and the pain stops.”

“Can’t,” was all he managed to force out. It was like he was trying to answer but he physically couldn’t.

“Why is the Waar Pak looking for Ayla Garner?” Theo pressed.

The other male standing behind Randall grabbed the IV bag and squeezed it. Randall screamed, sweat and spit running down his face as his body contorted horribly. This went on with no results.

“Stop,” Theo finally commanded.

Randall’s body went lax in the chair. I didn’t know how he was still
