Opal DavenportOpal wakes up in a hospital room with no memory of having fallen asleep. Everything in the last couple of days is absent from her mind, in fact. But, horrifically, that isn’t the only absence she’s enduring…
Shelbie Hinton | Apex@OpalDavenport “Oh, lovely, you’re awake, Minister.” Shelbie goes over to the blonde’s bed and smiles wickedly. “It was touch and go there for a while. I wasn’t sure you were going to make it. But I’m glad you did. Now you get to reap what you sow.”
Gen. Corel PrichardIn the meantime, The Interrogator has mobilized a squad to look for Minister Davenport and whoever may have captured her.
The makeshift 'hospital' is filled with imported signal jammers, which prevent direct tracking to Opal's place of captivity.
@CorelPrichard @OpalDavenport Tragically—or perhaps not so much—Minister Davenport is now unable to be moved. When the General finds the blonde, she has been relieved of her limbs and is connected to a rack by her stumps and neck. The Belgrade Special, if you will.
Shelbie morphs into a lioness and roars loudly to announce her presence. >
@ShelbieHinton @CorelPrichard Opal cannot speak or move, but the pain she’s experiencing would make those things agonizing anyway. [x]
@OpalDavenport @ShelbieHinton The squad stops at the last spot to get a signal from Opal's tracker embedded inside her thigh; a search in the nearby woods bears no fruit, but Corel is very suspicious of the nearby buildings, and orders her goons to look inside each of them.
@CorelPrichard @ShelbieHinton One of Corel’s men would find the burnt, barely functioning tracker in a smoking fire pit behind one of the buildings—the last remnants of Opal’s arms and legs. >
@OpalDavenport @CorelPrichard But Shelbie is prepared. The moment that the front doors are blasted in, the lioness roars and lunges for the soldiers. She manages to maul a couple of them to death before another fires a powerful tranq dart into her furry pelt.
Shelbie’s last thought before succumbing is of her dearest Penny. [x]
@ShelbieHinton @OpalDavenport Those in the backline manage to subdue the apparent lioness without the use of live ammunition, and their top priority is to get Opal out of there.
The raven-haired General walks in after being radioed about the discovery of the hostage, and sighs at the corpses piled up on the corner of the room.
"Who did this to you, Minister...?"
