Woeful Accommodations
The look of absolute pleasure on Xi’s face chilled Eva straight to the bone. The glint from the tip of the syringe perfectly matched the glint in Xi’s eyes. Eva felt that awful hollow feeling in the pit of her stomach when you know something terrible is about to happen, and yet, you are completely powerless to do anything about it. As she started to shift in the chair, she could feel Driver’s grip on her tighten.
“Now, Eva, it’s really best for us all if you just let me administer this without struggle. It will hurt much less,” Xi said in an almost cooing tone, like she was trying to comfort a child getting a vaccination for measles.
Eva couldn’t help herself. As a trained agent, she resisted almost out of reflex more than anything else. Reflex, and the unsettling notion that Xi was actually enjoying herself. She began to struggle more profusely with every step Xi Xiao took towards her.
“Hold her,” Xi said calmly to Driver.
Eva tried to react, but her reflexes, blunted by exhaustion and hunger, betrayed her. Driver could sense what she was going to do before she even did. In a flash, his mass was all around her. Her right arm was pinned tight to her body, and his vice-like grip kept her left arm clamped firmly to the arm of the chair, perfectly exposed for Xi to do her work. Eva wondered why they had not bothered with restraints, and found the answer within the bulk which contained her.
Desperate, she tried to throw her head back in hopes of breaking his nose, but again, her reflexes sluggish, the move was too well telegraphed to do any real harm.
Xi leaned over to administer the injection. As Eva felt the tip of the needle prick her skin, she swore she saw Xi lick her lips slightly. “This whore is truly loving this,” Eva thought as a wave of disgust washed over her.
Within moments, Eva could feel the flush of the Sodium Pentothal all up her arm as the drug quickly invaded her system. Already she could feel her instincts receding into the background and a fogginess of mind overtaking her.
“Don’t tell this bitch a goddamn thing,” Eva kept telling herself over and over. “Remember your training. It’s only Sodium Pent, nothing more. Don’t tell her shit. Don’t tell her shit.”
Unfortunately, Xi knew it was “only Sodium Pent” too, and had planned for this. She liked the drug well enough as a base, but she always opted for a little something extra once the barriers started to break down. She knew full well that a trained field agent could conceivably resist interrogation with Sodium Pentothal alone.
She reached into her pocket and removed the small black case. As she gently opened the lid, her eyes widened slightly and she had the look of the cat who had swallowed the proverbial canary.
“Open her mouth,” she instructed Driver casually.
As Driver grabbed for her face, Eva tried to intercept his hands, but her attempts were absolutely futile. She was far too weak and felt as if she was moving through mud.
She tried to clench her jaws shut, but his massive hands pried her mouth open with ease. He placed his left hand completely over her nose, preventing her from taking in air through her nostrils, while his right hand grabbed her jaw and pulled it completely open against her will.
“Sodium Pent gives such a warm, free feeling doesn’t it, Eva? I find it to be a lovely ice breaker,” Xi said offhandedly. “That said, it doesn’t really loosen one up quite enough. So, I like to add a little something more to the mix,” she said with a wink. “I trust you’ve heard of lysergic acid diethylamide?”
Even through the mental haze engulfing her, Eva felt a panic rush through her entire being. “Fucking LSD? This sick fucking bitch is giving me LSD?” She tried to thrash about, but her effort was completely in vain.
She was utterly helpless as Xi removed a tiny white tablet from the case and placed it gently on her tongue. With every remaining fiber of will that she had, Eva fought the urge to break down and cry. Never in all her time as an agent did she feel as impotent and completely violated as she did right now.
“Bitch, you will die for this,” Eva silently vowed to herself.
“You can let her go now,” Xi told Driver. “She won’t be going anywhere.”
