"May I ask why I've been abducted, and who you are?" Remius asked, thought he wasn't sure if he'd get an answer. He was also wondering where Alexia was, and hoped she wasn't being abused or worse.
With another glance around, Feador slowly sat down, feeling rahter glad that he had thought to bring on of his combat knives. He slowly picked up his fruity salad and continued to eat, looking around as he did so.
A lady sat down on the bench next to him, "Do you mind?"
"I just got my breakfast and need somewhere to eat it."
"May I ask why I've been abducted, and who you are?" Remius asked, thought he wasn't sure if he'd get an answer. He was also wondering where Alexia was, and hoped she wasn't being abused or worse.
"No speaking!" one of the men grunted at him, pointing a gun in his direction from the front seet.

"I promise you that I will bring you back to Canadstein," Jack replied. "If we get down from here. I wonder what is taking so long."
Alison smiled delightfully.
"All right!" came a shout from below. "Hold on... we are going to lower you down, now." The engineers had apparently solved the problem and the Ferris Wheel now began slowly making its around.
Sam walked away from the tour guide. heading in some random direction.
A man who was apparently not looking, barreled into Sam, nearly knocking him over. "Sorry about that... I was just cruising like a boat and didn't pay attention to where I was going."
"Of course." Feador replied. After a moments pause, he asked "You havent seen a strange man talking aboout Falcons, have you?"
The lady chuckeled slightly, "Heavens no - what a strange thing to be talking about. Why?"

"Can't we stand for two weeks, then I promise to take you to Canadstein." Jack didn't really want to leave. He just go here yesterday.
Sam continued his current direction, looking for a bar or club.
The nearest bar/club (it is both) was the Lone Snake, which was evident by neon pink signs just fifty or so feet down the block.
"Can't we stand for two weeks, then I promise to take you to Canadstein." Jack didn't really want to leave. He just go here yesterday.
"You pro-mised!" Alison complained. "You said as soon as we got down, you were going to take me to Canadstein. Let's go!"
Remius just sat back to await the arrival at wherever they were bound.
The van jerked to a stop as the driver quickly hopped out and walked around to the back of the van. He quickly opened the door and then smacked Remius over the head with a pistol before returning to the driver's seat.

Lots of men passed by Sam and entered it, hurriedly.

"Yes you did..." Alison retorted. "You said as soon as we got off. Meaning the immediate moment we stepped off that Ferris Wheel, we would go to Canadstein. You can't break a promise!"
Remius feigned getting knocked out or at least stunned, and after the driver had returned to the front rubbed the spot he'd been hit and sat back up.
"He isn't down..." one of the deep voices said. "Knock him out again... and this time do it harder."
The van again stopped on the side of the road and the driver stepped out, walking to the back of the van and subsequently attempting to smack Remius on the head again, this time much harder.

In his mind he thought "It is better to love than to not love at all." Jack put down the teddy bear and put on his Bowler Hat. A drop of water rolled down from his eye then down to his neck. Then he walked off to find a place to eat breakfast. While walking he thought about what just happened. Alison might have worked for the government on his island. She might just wanted to get him off because of the trouble he has caused.

After countless hours of driving, the van finally pulled to a stop. When the backdoors open a blinding light hit Remius as it was accompanied by a deep voice, "Get up and start walking... try anything funny and we will shoot you."

Remius settled down to take another pseudo-nap, thought he positioned himself so that they'd have to open the door to be able to see him, unless they had a camera placed somewhere hidden in the wall.
The rooms were all quite standard: White ceiling, floor and walls, extremely bright lights, a metal table and two metal chairs (all of which are built out as part of the floor), and four cameras built into corners of the ceiling and covered by black domes.
Jack walked up to the counter. "What is your special here?"

Nobody really noticed Jack slump over, or else they thought he was just sleeping.
Soon the morning rush hour was over and the coffee shop emptied out for the most part. Two large men entered soon after and walked over to Jack. Picking him by his sides, they dragged him out the bag and through him into a locked van. The two then got into the front of the van; one driving and the other watching Jack with a gun in his hands.
Remius gave the man an indolent look as he took a seat, sitting crosslegged on the chair.

"You also stand charged with counts of major crimes: three counts of internet crimes, one account of conspiracy to commit terror in the third degree, one count of tresspassing on classified government soil."
"And you stand charged with two counts of high crimes: conspiracy against the government and people of Eborall."

"Well if you want to see the government establishments... go downtown. If you want to see the palace... take a taxi there."
"Except I am no spy. I'm a younger son." He replied, "If I were a spy, wouldn't I be able to resist torture as well?"
"We will soon find out..." the man's voice said as drifted off, no longer able to be heard at the distance.

"The account of conspiracy to commit terror happened yesterday... in fact all of these happened yesterday; aren't you a busy spy. Four-twelve in the afternoon, charged for attempting to cause a widespread panic in public."

"I believe there is video of the action; you were driving and then pulled into the opposite going traffic, attempting to make as many vehicle as possible crash."
"Anyhow... it doesn't matter. That crime would only has a seven year jail sentence, which means the overall sentence is still 248 years. However, for any sentence over 150 years; the death sentence is given."
"You will be brought before the firing squad in thirty five minutes."

The door opened and in came two Colonial Marines in their dress uniforms (http://www.usmc.mil/marinelink/image1.nsf/ae82f18a8e1b160b852568ba007e7e5e/30bcf85c3cf9b3868525708900568abf/$FILE/CommercialHI.jpg). They did not lay their hands on him or have any handcuffs to drag him by. No - they simply opened the door and without a word waited for him to exit before walking behind him.
Sam handed himthe money and got out. he headed towards the palace gate. "hello" he said to the gaurds standing thre on duty.
Standing outside the gates, the Colonial Marines (http://www.usmc.mil/marinelink/image1.nsf/ae82f18a8e1b160b852568ba007e7e5e/30bcf85c3cf9b3868525708900568abf/$FILE/CommercialHI.jpg) stood unwavering and unmoving as Sam approached. There was no reaction or even a flinch from them...
"Ow." Remius protested as one particular swat stung more than normal. "May I please request that you cut that out? I just wanted to meet Princess Elisa, not to spy on Eborall."

The soldiers instantly piled on him - ten of them grabbing at him and forcing him to the ground.

Sam layed there. not even struggling. He lay there smilling slightly and out of breath. waiting for them to haul him away.
"I admit I probably went about it the wrong way. Unfortunately when I could only find rumours on the general net, I had to check govermental sources. I did not know it was a military site, or a classified site when I tried to access it. I did cease my attempts to access it as soon as I found out it was restricted." Remius replied as he grimaced a bit at the increase in force.

The soldiers slowly got up as they had secured the man. Taking his arms, they tied them together behind his back with straps, and then hauled him to his feet.
Without saying a single word, three of the soldiers began dragging him towards a humvee.

Remius replied as he grimaced a bit at the increase in force.
When would he get smart and realize that making the same argument over and over was not going to work. The whipping continued to speed up - now beginning to sting.
"Since you seem to refuse to believe me, what do you want me to say?" Remius asked as he winced every so often at a harsher blow.

Feador started up his car and cruised around the downtown area for a while, just to examine things. You could, after all, never know to much about a city.

"Admitting to a lie is a lie within itself, which in turn you would have to admit to," she responded. "I want you to admit to anything and everything you have done."

There were the normal sights of a metrapolis. At midday many people were taking a lunch break from work and grabbing some food.
Ahead of him there was an electronic billboard on the side of a building. The sign read: "Come to the Paradise Hotel on the beach," but for just a moment the four middle words disappeared, before lighting up again.
"Let's see. I arrived in Eborall. I got my bags and then asked of the various information booths for information in general and about the Princess. Was approached about a tour and after haggling, paided the price. Went on a tour of the island. In a little town where the tour stopped for lunch, I bumped into a little old lady and broke her glasses. Gave her some money to repair it/get a new pair. Arrive in the city and went to the Mirage. Got a room. Got on the elevator. Talked to a woman named Alexia when the elevator broke. Then it fell a few floors and were picked up by your people. I was brought here, getting hit a couple times on the way. Then I got interrogated, and after the interrogater decided I'd lied twice, was brought here." Remius replied, "Do you want more or is that enought to satisfy you?"

Feador pulled over to the side of the road and picked up his cell phone. He dialed Deh'ha's number.
"Hello?" Dre'ha's voice came in tinny on the other end
"It's Feador. I'm off to the beach. If I'm late, tell them it's bad." The phrase was only semi-code, but it was also in Nistolonian, so Feador decided he didn't have to be that careful. He hung up, erased his call log, several times. With that, he headed to the beach.

There were a lot of people at the beach as one tended to be getting towards the busier times.
To the left was a small restaurant with tables on the boardwalk. At one of them sat an average, nondescript man. The top of the back of his shirt was just noticable over the chair; it read: Here

Feador slowly approached the man.
He did not make any sign of aknowledgement as he sat with his back to Feader.
Jack got up and put on his bowler hat and walked out the door.
"I'm ready to go."
The marines followed him out and closed the door. They began escorting him down the long white corridor (standing behind him) and eventually arrived at a pair of double doors reading: The Last Chamber.

Feador walked around him slowly, untill he was facing him.
The man was reading the sports section of the paper; the avian named football team had continued its winning streak to eleven. "Can I help you?" the man asked as he looked up from the paper.
Jack saw the doors and opened them.
As he pushed open the doors, the two marines walked to either side of them and stood in sentry formation - after Jack walked through, they reached in and closed the doors.
Inside the room were five marines in dress uniform, classic dress rifles resting with their butts on the ground were held at their sides.
One man in an officer's clothing stood facing Jack, beckoning him to stand in the appropriated place. "Jack Featherston! You stand accused of numerous crimes against the colony of Eborall. After being found guilty by reason of admission, you were sentenced to one hundred and fifty eight years in prison. By law 6017a, subheading 1, paragraph 3... you have been sentenced to Death."
With the last word, the marines that stood near the opposite wall picked up their rifles in unison and held them in the firing position.
The officer slowly turned and took a few steps to the side, "Your last rite... do you have any last words before the sentence is carried out."
