She tapped her ear."I took an earring off one of the dead squid heads."Sure enough, I spotted the familiar shape of a translator in her ear, along with several other shiny bits of jewelry.She even had a ring through her nose, the delicate black piercing only made her feminine features stand out more.
Resourceful, if a little unappetizing.My respect for her was growing and I wondered what she had planned for me and how far was I willing to go along with her.Right now I was torn between snapping my bindings and hauling her off to the turoch encampment and playing this out.
I lifted my hands and crooked an eyebrow.
"Should I ask why I'm tied up?"
"I'm going to torture you for information."Her black stick crackled ominously and she gave me a smug smile."Ready to get started?"
I stared at her for a long second and burst out laughing.She was serious, this female was prepared and possibly excited to force some sort of information out of me.There wasn't a hint of hesitation or guilt in her expression.
I might be in love.
Suddenly Adak's dumbfounded mooning didn't seem so ridiculous, I had no doubt my own expression was verging on besotted.I grinned at her, perversely excited to see what she had planned for me.
"Go ahead, Firebrand.I'm ready to hurt."

I'd smacked the brainright out of this guy.
When I announced I was ready to torture him for information, I expected him to try to escape, curse me out, or at the very least mean mug me.But my captive was grinning like he'd won the lottery, sitting on the hard pavement with his legs sprawled out in front of him, and waiting to get zapped.
Askingme to zap him.
Just the sound of the cattle prod crackling made my hair stand on end, there was no way I'd ever volunteer to feel its bite.
If he got off on pain, I would seriously need to rethink my bag of makeshift torture implements.The upside of the cattle prod was the reach it gave me.I really didn't want to get close enough to use a knife, and I couldn't exactly water-board him, either.
I must have captured a masochist because he looked downright excited for me to attack him.A little off balance, I took a cautious step toward him, half expecting him to lunge for me.He didn't, he didn't even move, just held his bound hands in front of himself and gave me a slow, blatantly sexual once over.
I felt his gaze like a physical touch and goosebumps erupted across my body.
Determined not to let him throw me off, I decided to start my interrogation slowly.Get him to answer questions he had no reason to lie about.I didn't have any experience torturing people for information but I didn't want him to clam up on me.
Pointing my cattle prod at his face, I was disappointed when he didn't even look at it.
