[h3][color=ff7799]The interrogation[/color][/h3] The man struggled against Graham, before giving up fairly quickly. [color=8a8a8a]"All right, I'll talk. Can you just be a little more calm? And put the gun away?"[/color] He requested. Graham quickly patted the man down before putting cinderhulk in its holster, however, unrelenting, Graham pushed him to the wall and grabbed him by the shirt. "You gonna tell me?" He asked threatingly. [color=8a8a8a]"I will. Just calm down. I'm in no hurry."[/color] The man implored. Graham stayed silent. [color=8a8a8a]"I work for Torchwick, to an extent. I'm just a numbers guy whom he hired."[/color] The guy explained. [color=8a8a8a]"Like an accountant."[/color] He summarised. Graham took it all in. "You got five minutes, keep going." Graham ordered. [color=8a8a8a]"The butcher was told to get something 'of value', and that the owner was behind on payment, Torchwick wanted a collateral."[/color] He continued. [color=8a8a8a]"We didn't expect a person! Not that Torchwick was displeased, but we were imagining a watch, gem, or television, not his daughter. I don't know anything else."[/color] He said. Graham looked down at the ground then back to the "accountant." [color=8a8a8a]"Look, kid. I know it sucks, but I'm just doing business. He's still getting his place fixed for free. It should be done by tomorrow night, so he can resume business as soon as possible. We just want the loans paid off. This isn't a 'kidnap the daughter and hold her forever' type of thing, she's just collateral for the loan money and she'll be returned when the debt is paid. Based on the schedule, it should be in the next 3-4 months. Unless he's late or short on payments. Is that enough of my business to get you off my back?"[/color] The numbers guy looks at Graham expectantly as he awaits an answer from his assailant. Something didn't add up in Graham's head. "Wait... what is he paying you for?" Graham asked, all this for some lousy payment? Can't be right. can it?. The accountant-gone-rogue rolled his eyes. [color=8a8a8a]"I'm getting paid to make all the calculations for loan payment, contacting the contractors and talk to them about their payment, and get Master Roman kept up with all of it. The most devious thing I'm doing, from your perspective, is showing the club owner that our Master isn't a horrible guy like the Uprisers think. He's just another guy. Except with a lot of power."[/color]
