Chapter Seven

“The name's Blaine,” the interrogator said, his hand stretched out across the table. Thomas broke his attention from the book he started earlier that morning and extended his own hand to greet the man. “I don't believe we've officially met.”

“No, I don't think so.” Thomas gave an insincere smile, not trusting this... Blaine, completely. This man that would surely be analyzing every word that Thomas gave to him. A man that would be unable to help himself. It was his job, who he was now, nobody was much more than their duties within the Second Alliance. Thomas knew that a man in his position never exclusively worked their magic on adversaries—they assessed everyone, especially potential candidates in the Soldier Program.

Thomas noticed Blaine seemed intent on speaking at length. “I'm just trying to get my mind right before we head into their camp.” He tried returning to his book.

“I'm not trying to be rude here, but”—Blaine placed his fingertips on the table, propping his hand up like a tent—”we are going to talk.” He tapped his fingers a few times against the wooden top, insisting Thomas rejoin the conversation.

“That's fine.” Thomas folded the cover, making the block of pages whole again. “I thought you were here to talk to prisoners.”

Blaine nodded. “Oh, I will, but I don't go into these delicate proceedings blindly.” He pulled the seat opposite Thomas from the table and sat. He cracked his knuckles individually from pinky to thumb then removed a notepad and pen from his shirt pocket. He placed them very precisely on the table, setting the pad to his right, parallel to the table with the pen sitting along a line that ran horizontal across the cover.

“And the lady?” Thomas asked.

“I already spoke briefly with the woman. She gave a great bit of information that I feel you’ll find of use.” He tapped the notepad, which caused the pen to move slightly from its calculated position. Quickly, he fixed it. “It's fairly obvious what her circumstances are. Speaking with her wasn't the problem, it was getting her to calm down. But what I wish to focus on now is gathering the facts before I go at the kid.” Blaine eyed Thomas, expecting a response from him, but Thomas hadn’t heard a question. “And… that’s where I require your assistance.”

“I see.” Thomas slid the book to the side, straightened himself in the chair then placed his palms flat against the table. “What would you like to know?” He smiled.

Blaine cupped his hands and squeezed them together as he looked down into his lap. Thomas could see an unpleasant smile take shape—clearly displeased with this sarcastic response. But once Blaine took his eyes from his lap and faced Thomas again, his smile had changed to something more agreeable. “This isn't a formal discussion.” He tried to soften the mood by waving his hand as if he were swatting a pesky fly from the air. “Seriously, relax. I feel you’ve misinterpreted my intentions.”

“I’m here to assist
