When Brenda left her office, she headed for the entrance of the special department. But when she dialed Morrisâs number, she discovered that his phone was turned off.
She frowned.
When she turned to go back, she found that SWAT agents were blocking her way.
Brenda narrowed her eyes and stared at them. âHow dare you stop me?â
The two replied, âCaptain Brenda, we are currently questioning Nora Smith. She is not from the interrogation unit, so she is not allowed in your office.â
Brenda immediately scoffed, âIs that right?â
She immediately rolled up her sleeves and said, âSee if you can stop me, then!â.
He then went on the offensive right away.
In no time, he had knocked both agents to the ground. Only then did Brenda dust off her hands and continue walking forward.
However, the other people at the door again blocked her path. Brenda glared at them. âAre you sure you want to go against me?â.
Then the members looked at each other. At last they sighed and said, âCaptain Brenda, we have been assigned this task! We will unconditionally obey all orders related to the interrogation.â
Brenda: â!!!â
She was furious. She let out an icy laugh and said, âGood. Then you can come and judge me.â But as soon as she said that, Noraâs calm, dispassionate voice caught up with her. âForget it.â
Startled, Brenda looked at her.
With the SWAT agents between them, Nora told her, âYouâll only be detained with me if you come back. Itâs more comfortable outside. Why donât you go home for now.â
âYouâve been detained? How does Ruth have the right to detain you?â
Nora shrugged her shoulders. âWho knows?â
Brenda took a deep breath, turned around and started walking outside. âIâm going to go get Justin right now, Nora!â.
Seeing that Brenda was gone, Nora went back into the room.
She closed the curtains and looked at Brendaâs white couch.
That woman sure knew how to enjoy life. There was even a fluffy white blanket on the couch that was perfectly suited for lying on. Nora could almost imagine Brendaâs lazy, charming look as she lay on it. She shook her head, walked over and lay down.
She would catch up on sleep.
In the other room, Ruth stared at the monitor that showed what was going on in Brendaâs office.
The surveillance cameras were just installed, but she could already see Nora lying on the couch.
She bit her lip. Suddenly, he said to the person next to him, âGo over there and do thisâ¦â.
As she finished speaking, a doubtful look appeared on the countenance of the person next to her. âIsnât that a little inappropriate, Ruth? After all, Nora is also a member of the special department.â
Ruth looked at him immediately. âAre you still thinking of her as part of the special department? Donât forget that her mother is the backbone of the mysterious organization. If it wasnât for her mother, the gene serum would never have gotten out into the world! How many people have died because of the gene serum in all these years? And how many children did they kidnap for human experiments back then?â
Ruth gritted her teeth with hatred. âMore than twenty years ago, as many as a thousand children had disappeared in the country. Only in the end was it discovered that they had been captured by the mysterious organization. Only after they performed brutal and inhumane experiments on the children was the genetic serum created. The members of the mysterious organization are simply devoid of any conscience! During all these years, in order to capture the mysterious organization, how many of our comrades have we sacrificed? Now that Nora Smith has clues about the mysterious organization, why should she be allowed to keep quiet about it? Do as I say! I will bear all the consequences.â
The person sensed that Ruth was right, but also wrong.
For a while, he did not know what to say. In the end, he could only say, ââ¦.. Thatâs okay, I guess.â
Elsewhere, Nora was lying on the couch.
As she was resting, someone suddenly entered the room.
Nora opened her eyes and saw several people from the special department. They took a lamp and lit it with a loud click. Once the lamp was lit, a piercing light illuminated the entire room, making it as bright as day.
Nora frowned.
She knew this was an interrogation tactic. High intensity light like this irritated people and made them uncomfortable. Even if they closed their eyes, they couldnât fall asleep.
She clicked her tongue coolly.
So Ruth was planning to use these interrogation tactics on her?
She raised her eyebrows and looked at the person who had lit the lamp. The person looked at her and tried to persuade her. âMiss Smith, why donât you show us what your mother left you? Donât try to resist any longer. Even if Captain Ford comes back, you have to act according to the regulations.â
Nora replied distantly, âNo.â
The man sighed. He could only leave the room.
At the door, Ruth stood and looked at her with a smile. âMiss Smith, we have no choice but to do this. After all, itâs a standard tactic. I hope you can understand that. Of course, if you turn her in now, I can remove the lamp right away.â Nora closed her eyes and said nothing.
Seeing that she looked like she didnât want to talk, Ruth said, âSince you havenât yet made up your mind to make the right decision, you can keep thinking about it more!â
After speaking, he left and closed the door with a bang.
Ruth had already asked long ago.
-Sleep was the most important thing for Nora. Now that she couldnât sleep, she would definitely be exceptionally anxious as long as she was detained there.
In the bedroom.
Nora leaned back on the couch and stared at the lamp.
The light was very dazzling. After closing her eyes for a while, she realized that she couldnât fall asleep at all. Also, with such strong light stimulating her senses, she began to get a little irritated, which made her look a little impatient.
She decided not to put up with this anymore.
