"Trevor, why don't you just tell us where Colin Jao is?" Hendrick asked as he slammed the bloodied man's face on the table once more.
Trevor had been shocked when Hendrick first mentioned Colin Jao's name. It was clear that they hadn't expected their enemies to know so much.
"I'll never tell you." Trevor hissed as he glared at Hendrick.
"Look, Trevor, I'm level one among all the interrogators here." Hendrick told him. "Now, you don't want to reach level two, much more level ten or twenty or thirty. So just tell us where Colin is."
Trevor looked up at Hendrick, as if he was about to say something, when he suddenly spat at the man.
"I will never betray my boss." Trevor hissed.
Hendrick punched the man in anger, allowing his temper to get the best of him.
Hendrick walked away and took a deep breath, collecting himself.
"See what you made me do Trevor?" Hendrick asked as he looked at the man. "Okay, let's not mention Colin then, who do you work for?"
"People much better and much more powerful than the idiots you report to." As Trevor spoke he looked at the one way mirror.
It was as if he knew that the king of the underworld was watching.
"What are you looking at, Trevor?" Hendrick said as he laughed at Trevor.
Mind games, that's what Hendrick was good at.
"Trevor, have you lost your mind, why are you staring at the one way mirror?" Hendrick didn't even try to hide the fact that it was indeed used to observe interrogations that were happening.
Hendrick tilted his head as he continued to look confused.
He then gasped and laughed, his voice echoing across the room.
"Did you think they would actually watch this?" Hendrick asked as he laughed at the man. "Do you think that the king of the underworld would deem you important enough to watch your torture?"
A shocked look momentarily crossed Trevor's face.
"Trevor, Trevor, Trevor. The king runs an empire, do you really think your boss is the biggest threat to him?" Hendrick laughed as he shook his head.
Trevor's eyes were downcast, making Hendrick smile.
Most would have taken that as a victory, but Hendrick knew better. He knew that there was still a chance that this was all part of an elaborate act set up by Colin and Tevor.
Hendrick suddenly picked Tevor up and threw him against the wall.
"You see, if they were there, I couldn't even do that to you." Hendrick chuckled.
Hendrick looked down at the man and saw that Trevor was clearly exhausted.
"We'll resume tomorrow." Hendrick said with a smile as he walked to the door and knocked.
Unexpectedly, Trevor summoned whatever strength he had and tried to attack Hendrick.
Luckily for Hendrick, the door opened and a few men stepped in.
They were supposed to drag the weakened Trevor back to his cell.
The men quickly caught him and tackled him to the ground.
"It seems you haven't had enough for today." Hendrick chuckled. "But that's not how I work."
Hendrick grinned and turned towards his companions.
"Lock him in his cell, don't give him food or water. We'll resume this later." Hendrick told them as they dragged him out and forced a pill down his throat.
"What the fuck was that?!" Trevor shouted as he tried to vomit the pill back out.
Unfortunately he already started to feel the effects and was weakened.
"Is that it for today?" Peter asked Hendrick as he returned to the room and picked up his bag.
"Nope." Hendrick chuckled as he pulled out a fresh set of clothes. "It's a new technique we are testing out."
Al grinned as Hendrick looked at himself in the mirror and did some subtle changes, placing wax on his hair and washing his face.
"Trevor will think that the boss doesn't care at all." Hendrick explained. "The pill we gave him is actually an invention of mine."
"It not just knocks him out but also makes him feel exhausted." Emilio added.
He knew about Hendrick's experiments.
At first he even volunteered to be the guinea pig himself, but Hendrick wouldn't allow it. It was even worse after Hendrick found out he was the Reyes Heir, by all accounts Emilio was to be protected.
"How many days do plan to make it seem like?" Al asked Hendrick.
"Four days." Hendrick said with a smile as he glanced at his bag.
"You came prepared?" Ray asked.
Hendrick nodded.
"I thought we would have Colin, so I thought, might as well have some fun if you would let me, but this works too." Hendrick said with a shrug as he looked at his watch.
"I'll just give some orders to the guards. We spoke about it before Trevor was dragged out here." Hendrick explained.
"That's probably why he was placed in a solitary prison." Al said as he analyzed the situation.
They only waited another thirty minutes before a new set of guards dragged Trevor back into the interrogation room.
"Day two." Emilio said as he leaned forward and observed what his friend was about to do.
Just like the so-called previous day, Hendrick tortured Trefor for information and Trevor insisted that he knew nothing.
But Al could see in his eyes that he was faltering.
He felt like he hadn't eaten or drank water in over a day. He was weak and he felt as if Hendrick was serious about letting him die.
After Trevor was tortured they repeated the same process, he was brought to a solitary prison.
"Do you think he will crack?" Al asked as Hendrick changed clothes again, this time he looked as if he had gone to the office.
The shirt was slightly crumpled with a few stains on it.
His necktie was loosened to make it seem like he had just left R Tower and had gone straight to the headquarters to torture Trevor.
"I plan to tell him today that he can have a drink if he tells us where Colin is. It may work." Hendrick told the young mafia leader.
"It should." Al said with a nod as two new men brought Trevor to the other room.
"Day three." Hendrick said as he walked out of the room and into the new one.
"So Trevor, are you ready to talk?" Hendrick asked.
"You don't even feed me or give me anything to drink!" Trevor shouted with what strength he had left.
"Fine, tell me where Colin is and I will let you have a meal and a drink." Hendrick said, grinning at Trevor.
"You asshole." Trevor hissed, his voice was barely a whisper.
"What?" Hendrick asked as he walked closer.
"I said you fucking asshole! You'll never get information from me, even if I have to die to keep it!" Trevor shouted.
By the time it registered with Hendrick what Trevor was about to do, the prisoner had slammed his head so hard on the corner of the table that blood splattered across the room.
Hendrick stared in shock as he realized it was over.
"Well, shit." Ray groaned as they looked at the shattered skull across the one way glass.
