Back from Tagats. Still no word from Darkness.
===========IX. May 2, 2006 =============================================
The day before, Jose watched the rallies of the people rallying. Not much happened. Nothing uneventful at least.

And so today, Jose decided to visit headquarters because he was asked to give a short report on the incident.

**************inside MAGIS HQ*************

Jose got out of the lift and was greeted by the MAGIS Operations Manager. Jose returned the greeting and asked the condition of the Sniper that was captured. "Well, we've interrogated him for days and he still wont say anything. He's not tied to the people who hired him closely, but he doesn't say anything still. He seems highly resistant to all of our psychological and physical tortures. Prolly a massachist or something."

They kept walking till the came to the cell where the man was being held. Inside, he was chained to a chair while an agent inside who had been interrogating him had a look of surprise on his face. When Jose asked why, the OM answered, "It seems that the captive was recently given a certain drug. And the effects are not at all what seem to be showing. Also, he's on a third lie detector test and he's showing no signs of lying even though he keeps repeating that he's a radioactive monkey."

The agent stepped out and said to the Manager, "Sir, I-I think you should have someone else do it. I can't stand it anymore. The torture he's gone through is more than anyone with a drop of sympathetic pain can." Jose watched the captive inside the cell, then stepped inside.

The man looked at him and said, "So you want to know who tried to kill you too?"
"Well, what do you think?"
"I think so."
"Then can you tell me who it is?"
"Sure I can. But i wont."
"Why not?"
"Cuz i just don't like you."
"Well, then i suppose it sucks to be you."
"Why so? You're gonna hurt me like they do?"
"... I don't see why not. But then i heard that you're resistant to all that crap."
"Yup. Everything, i learned in mercenary camp."
"Right. But is there anything that you CAN tell me?"
"Um...that there's a reason why we were hired....but i'm not gonna tell you....and...did i miss anything? oh yeah. You suck."
"Right....right...by the way, i've studied bout those merc camps. There's one thing I'm sure you've never been trained against."
"Oh really? Is it being attacked by rabid poodles? or Killing me with stupid corny jokes? Or maybe you plan on stabbing me with dry words? You're bluffing. There's no torture i cant stand."

Jose stepped outside for awhile. In a few minutes, he came back carrying a rectangular case. Behind him were several Agents and the MO. Jose said, "I hope you're ready." Jose gave a signal to the people behind him and they put on earmuffs. "W-what the hell is in that case?" asked the man.

Jose didn't reply. Because he was already putting the violin to his shoulder. A few seconds later, some of the agents behind Jose couldn't stand it anymore and left the room. Later, the others were already writhing in pain on the floor. Even the prisoner was shaking.

Jose kept playing his violin. It was really....really.....really....horrible. After Jose's first piece, the captive was screaming in pain, giving in to the torture that was the evil violin playing sound thingy.

"Alright! Alright! I'll talk! jsut stop....the evil....music....graaaaaaH!"
"Then you will tell me what I want to know."
"We never saw the person who hired us face to face...but he goes by a codename of 'Sky Shadow'. We were summoned once to his house. It's in this mansion somewhere. I'll give you the location."
"Thanks. And Agents, if he's wrong, call me. I'll bring my violin over again."
