Chapter 7

The Captain was upset. The east division had reported that they had lost several agents. Looking over the reports again, he knew that it was the work of the doctor’s group. Sighing he picked up the phone calling for Tahir. This was only 2 days after Tahir had eliminated the group’s four main energy wave protectors. Tahir had started looking at all the 12 seer posts. The way he figured it, if their boss wanted to take him out, then he’d have to get someone closer.

He had started by looking through all the seers here first. He knew that Tina and Kim were safe. After the darker thoughts of the Director, he knew to put his shield up more when he went in. Helena he wasn’t sure of, he hadn’t found anything per say, but there were areas she could hide things in, if she had been trained. The other 11 posts were almost completely clean though in the one, a half mile away, he had found one more he wasn’t sure of. It was obvious that the boss of the doctor’s group didn’t really know what he could do; Tahir was glad and started to do all he could to keep it that way.

Walking into the Captain’s office he saw the grim look on his face. “We lost several agents in our eastern region; the most were in the city where you saw their boss. We aren’t sure if they were captured, killed or both.”

“Ok, so what do you want me to do?” Tahir said as he started to look through the many reports on the desk.

“We need to capture them, (if possible) find out where the agents are, and then come up with a plan.” The Captain said as he looked at Tahir.

“Ok give me a sec,” concentrating, he was where the agent had been in the report; he followed him for an hour.

Then Tahir saw him attacked and who it was. Following them he saw the agent tortured, and then he was killed by energy waves.

Growling Tahir began to reach out; the Captain had called his security and interrogator. Within a minute the man that had attacked the agent was there, in front of Tahir, frozen unable to move.

Pissed off Tahir reached in and ripped every ability the man had out. Screaming the man’s ears began to leak blood. The Captain smiled, this torture was far more effective than any his men could do.

“I want to know why you killed him, don’t deny it, I saw and if I don’t like what I hear, the pain you just felt from the loss of ALL your abilities will be nothing.” Tahir growled into the face of the wide eyed man.

For the next 3 hours the man revealed every plan, every plot, everything he had heard. Tahir had to watch his temper, at the moment he was boiling mad and he knew that the man would be dead if he lost it.

With each location that the man revealed where an agent had been taken, Tahir looked, not finding anything. The first half held none that was, then Tahir saw an agent about to be killed and pulled him there in just a few seconds. Leaving the agent there Tahir bounced all the waves back at the men, as it hit each he smiled while their skin began to flay off their bodies, all the while heating up, their skin charring, all 4 of them began to scream at the top of their lungs. Several people ran in to see what was going on, were also caught in the blast of energy. Ignoring everything he just watched them all die, Afterward he made sure all 10 were dead before he pulled back to the Captain’s office.

The Captain had taken the returned agent to the infirmary, Tahir waited for the next location. The man was breathing heavy, still not believing that all his abilities were gone.

Reaching out Tahir spoke, “I’m waiting!” the man began to babble Tahir slapped him, the man staring at him with extreme hatred.

“You’ll never stop us! The leader will ... AAAAAAAAAA!!!” he screamed, as Tahir twisted his arms and pushed at all his pain centers, at the same time.

“Now as I said I am waiting!” Tahir shouted in his face. Again, he started telling places agents were taken to. Finally, when the man stopped talking Tahir had rescued 10 of the 30 missing agents, had watched at least 40 people die, and had hardened his heart to the point that he wasn’t feeling anything but pain and rage.

Tina walked up to Tahir and grabbed his hand, “Mr. Tahir?” she started in her small, innocent, little girl’s voice, “Are you ok? I was worried about you when you got angry. You felt so bad I was afraid that you were going to go away like mommy did” The tears were welling up in her eyes; Tahir looked at her and realized that she was right.
