Sure enough they had me working the next day and I had no doubt that I was under heavy watch, they were making sure that I didn't do anything that would upset the norm. They most likely had my computer, phone, and anything else in my room bugged so I made sure not to do anything incriminating. They were most likely hoping that I would be emotionally wrecked and slip up, but I was too well trained for that. I could easily detach myself from a situation and go over all the facts, this what got me my high rank. I knew that I could be of higher rank with the talents and pedigree I had, but they wouldn't allow that as I was too young to hold such a position. That and I would be a threat. 

I sat in my office looking over data files that had come in that I was to review, that was when Barbara burst into my office. By the look on her face she was pissed and with good reason, as I gave her work that was way below her rank. Having such work was an insult it was also bad for image, as the rest on her coworkers would see what she was doing and wonder why. "I demand to know why I was given a shitty assignment sir!" She nearly yelled as she was having a hard time controlling her anger, though I was sure that a number of others would react the same way as she. I sat back in my chair as my fingers interlaced with my two index fingers touching my lips. I eyed her for a moment before smiling, though the smile was a mocking one. "I thought it suited you." I said simply which only made her temper flare.
"You know damn well that I am better than this! I demand to be given work worthy of my rank!" She nearly barked.

I watched her for a moment longer before slowly getting up out of my chair. I could see others through the windows of my office peaking in, they were curious about what was going on. I looked back at the woman infront of me and had the nearly uncontrollable desire to hit her, as she ratted out Louisa. I rounded my desk and stood infront of the woman looking down at her. "You will do this work I have assigned and be happy that I didn't give you something lower. Your rank means little to me at this moment and if you ever come back into MY office demanding something ever again, I will cut your rank in half. Do you understand me?" I said evenly though my words dripped with acid and I had no doubt that my eyes showed how angry I was though my body language didn't. 
"But you can't do that!" She hissed back
"Oh I can and I will if you fail at the task I gave you. Be happy that it is an easy one..... Now get out of my office." I watched as shock and horror spread across the woman's face before she left. I had never been so mean or belittling to any of my employees before, sure I had been tough on those that had screwed something up or was doing something that was upsetting the rest of the workers. But never before had I been so cold hearted and mean. Truth be told though, I was using her. She was looking up security of bars on the lower end of Restraint, something that could of been done by those of a lesser rank but my petty human need for some sort of justice won out.

I had several others look things up for me that would like I was merely concerned about the safety of the city. But in truth I didn't care I just wanted to get Louisa back, even though I was acting as though I didn't care about her. I did feel bad though for using some of my employees, but I had no choice I was being watched and I needed everything to look like I was just doing my job. I looked up from a report to see Barbara standing with a file in hand, she placed it on my desk without saying a word. I smiled inwardly, at least she learned from the last time she was in here. I took the file and handed her another file that I wished to be analyzed, again it was something that was below her rank but I didn't care as long as she got the work done.

I looked over the file that Barbara brought in, it was all the security details of the bars in the lower end of Restraint. Only one bar last night had an arrest, a woman with out papers. There were two arrest last month that were similar but those people did actually leave their papers at home. But my gut was telling me that this was different, that this bar either served shady people or they themselves were shady. That didn't matter though, all I knew was that I was going to head down to that bar and hopefully find someone that could help me as I couldn't do what I had in mind alone.

When the bag was finally lift from my head I was in a cell with one other woman, my eyes narrowed at her. She looked like crap and I instantly made up my mind not to talk to the woman. She seemed shady, plus I heard that they placed fake prisoners in cells to make the others talk. But they weren't going to get anything out of me. I sat down and leaned my head against the cold wall and shut my eyes. The other woman tried to make conversation with me and even gave me her name, but still I didn't say a word. She wasn't going to get me to talk, I simply glared at her when her talking became annoying which shut her up. I didn't care to talk, mostly because I knew she was fishing for information plus I had a headache. I really hit my head hard on the floor when they took me down, plus my body hurt from being stunned.

I was almost asleep when the door to the cell opened and a man dragged another young woman in. Judging by her dress she was of a higher rank and was most likely out on a date, I wrinkled my nose slightly when I saw that her dress was a little messed up which made me wonder if the guards did anything to her. I hope not, it wasn't something that I wished on any woman even if they were my enemy. Once the guards left I could see her face more clearly, I nearly coughed in surprise. She was the woman that Enrick wiped the prints off the can for the first time. I suddenly wondered why she was here, we didn't frame her. If only Enrick knew that his efforts to keep this one safe were in vein. 

I leaned back and rested for a bit until I heard the voices of the other two women in the cell start to talk. I listened though I didn't join in, I was in no mood for talking plus I want to find out what Zorah's angle was. When they stopped talking I leaned my head against the wall again and thought back to Enrick, I couldn't help but wonder what he was doing. Did he tell Boss that I was taken, was he worried? [i]Of course he's worried and so is Boss.[/i] I thought but knew full well that Boss would push aside his feelings to get what ever he was doing done, so he would truly think about her later.

”They think I caused the explosion in Section 8.”

I turned my head to look at the young woman name Louisa and lifted an eyebrow, she obviously didn't like the silence or being in her own head. Me though, I could spend many hours in the depths of my mind. It was one of the things that we rebels had to go through, torture. We were put through alot of it, to test our breaking points. Those of us that were weak were put into area's where they could do the less damage if caught. I was one of the few that didn't break, though we all do have breaking points, it was just that Boss didn't want to go that far with me. 

"Did you?" I asked lowly which made Zorah look at me with a slight grin on her face. 
"Well look who decided to talk now." 
I was seriously considering punching the bitch in the face but settled for a glare that made the woman flinch slightly as if she knew how badly I want to hit her. I looked back at Louisa though my eyes were kinder than they were with Zorah.

[i]Don't worry Louisa I know you are innocent, it's just I can't tell anyone or else many lives would be at risk. The death of one person is better than the deaths of many.[/i] My thought were slightly cruel, but I rather she and I die than all those in rebellion along with those top side.
