Chapter Text
"Who sent you?"
"Scoops ahoy, I'm here, please."
A strong force struck Steve's abdomen. Steve let out a pained groan.
"I'll give you another chance. Who sent you?"
"Can't you see what I'm wearing? I work at an ice cream shop! I walked in here by mistake—"
Steve's head was thrown back. Steve's breathing began to ragged.
"Please, I know nothing..."
Steve pleaded in a trembling voice.
Steve is sitting on a metal chair fixed to the floor. His hands and feet are immobilized, unable to move.
A rough rope was wrapped around Steve's neck as he leaned back. The rope gripped Steve's neck with great force. Steve writhed in pain, but only his body twitched; he could not move.
A man in uniform raised a hand. The rope loosened.
Steve gasped for breath and tried to focus.
The man in uniform spoke.
"Who sent you?"
