Does he think I’m joking?

“Let’s start with an easy one…” I say as he begins to pick up his head. The bags under his eyes tell me that last night was not the only hardship he’s faced recently. Without so much as a second thought, I continued speaking. “Who are you?” I ask sternly.

“I’ll tell you what, asshole… why don’t we just skip the dumb-ass questions and get to the real ones, eh?” Graham says aloud for everyone around us to hear. I glare over at Pancho, who takes a step forward but keeps his distance when I abruptly put up my hand for him to stay where he is. Corver rubs his eyebrows with his fingers in such a way that resembles a student who just got back a failing test grade.

I wait a few seconds, analyzing Graham’s ragged body posture, before slowly standing up and walking around the chair separating us. I only take a step or two before I swing my right fist into Graham’s cheek, causing his chair to stumble slightly. He almost seems unfazed by the impact.

“Wow… you don’t do this much, do you-“ he asks before I react with another, more violent swing using my non-dominant fist. With blood now on my left knuckles, I casually shake it in the air in an attempt to mitigate the pain I felt after the last strike. He takes a second to realign himself before letting out a laugh. I can’t tell whether it’s genuine laughter or merely a way for him to preserve his ego, but it throws me over the rail, nevertheless.

Grabbing the bottom of his chair by the small bar welded near his ankles, secured with zip ties to each chair leg, I flip him over onto his back. With Graham landing on his injured hand, he lets out a blood-curdling scream that is quickly overshadowed by the noise being generated from the Consulate’s ongoing exterior fortifications. As the white cloth around his dominant hand slowly becomes a dark shade of red, I use my fingers to point to the windows around us: what happens in here stays in here.

“You must think you have a goddamn choice!” I yell out as I step down on his shoulder, which increases the volume of his screams as the weight of his own body continues to rest on top of his bleeding hand. Derrick, who’s staring at me with a blank expression, notices my reluctance to resort to violence immediately and gives me a nod of approval to proceed with the direction I was heading.

“Who are you?!” I shout as my black combat boot presses slightly harder on his shoulder.

“Ah! Fuc- Graham…” he screams out as the handcuffs keeping his hands in place jingle with every movement he makes.

“No! Who are you?!” I yell.

“I just fucking told you, you piece of sh-“ Graham lets out before I use my other foot to stomp on the middle of his chest, causing him to yelp in agony before I drop down to one knee and ferociously cover his mouth with my hand.
