All six of the White Rose agents entered the interrogation room, with the two captains leading the way. When inside the room, there was a table with two seats, Kanu was the first to sit down followed by Hiru.
After that, the two regular agents from each squad went to stand by the wall, two by the normal plain grey wall and the other two standing by the mirror. Sadie looked ahead as she stood opposite the man with the scar on his face.
He was standing one step ahead of his partner, and didn’t have his back right up against the wall. He quickly corrected himself though taking a step back and standing up straight.
It wasn’t too strange, it wasn’t as if they studied interrogation etiquette a lot in their training sessions, nor was it something they did a lot, so a mistake would be made now and then, it was just Sadie noticed these things.
“Hi Haze, I’m captain Kanu, I brought you here from the AFC match you had. I’m sorry for the way they have handled your situation, but I hope you understand it's to protect you and us. The more you do, and the more out of control you are, then the charges will just keep adding up, you understand?” Kanu asked.
The young boy looked nervous, making Kanu feel bad. A kid like him, shouldn’t have been restrained in such a way. The stress of the situation probably didn't help whatever it was inside him from trying to gain control.
“So let me ask you, from what we have understood, you have taken a substance through a pill that you stated before came from your coach. So we want to ask, how did you, or your coach get your hands on this pill?” Kanu asked.
Haze thought about it for a while, but eventually answered.
“I honestly don't know. The coach, he just said that he had this pill that would enhance me, make me stronger in the ring. Before my debut match, I had used it once before, in a practice match, and it really worked.
“I just felt stronger, there weren't any signs of me… me… losing control.” Haze answered.
During the speaking, Sadie continued to look at the agent opposite her, she could see he was moving slightly backwards and forwards, his toes.
‘Can’t that person just stand still… this is so irritating.’ She thought.
“In the AFC match, that was the second time I had used the pill… and you know what happened after that, but I have no idea where he got that pill. You should be questioning the coach not me!”
“And we will.” Kanu answered.
He didn’t want to make the kid aware that the coach was currently missing, otherwise it might startle him even more, maybe make him fear for his life.
“Alright, I believe you, I believe you know next to nothing about that pill you used. So instead I’m going to ask you a question you do know.” Kanu said. “You already said that this was the second time you had taken the pill, can you describe to me how it felt, and what do you think was different this time compared to the last?”
Haze started to think back to when he bit down on the pill.
“There was this anger rising in me, as I got angry, a power went through me. Just like when you're about to fight. It feels like adrenaline, but it's more than that, I can actually feel the power rising through me.
“But as the power rises, so does the anger. My mind gets muddled, and before I knew it I had fully transformed.”
While explaining Haze continued to move his hands, it was as if he was reliving that moment.
“As for what was different the second time… it felt like there was a voice in my head, a voice controlling my emotions, showing me images, telling me that I was better, I could get stronger If I just reached out.
“I know this sounds strange, because it's just a voice in my head… but that voice, it didn’t sound like my own, it sounded like another's voice.”
“So, when you take the pill, do you almost feel like you had a type of connection with something? Maybe whoever it is that is giving you this power, the pill allows you to have a connection with them.” Kanu asked.
“Ha!” Hiru laughed. “What type of voodoo magic do you think this is?”
“Well, that’s exactly what I feel like we might be dealing with, voodoo magic. Haze, I want to tell you, that you aren’t the first one to consume, or be involved with this power. I’m just trying to make a connection with it all.
“I’m going to ask you something, something you might not be able to do, or might not want to do but it will help me out. And, I assure you, whatever happens, you won’t get in trouble for this, or at least not in anymore trouble.”
Haze gulped, wondering what Kanu was going to ask.
“Is it possible, are you able to draw out that power now, a part of it? I heard that you are still going into a crazed state once in a while. Is it because you are fighting it, even now? That seems to be the case, but just for a few seconds, could you let it take over… I would like to talk to it.”
Hiru looked at Kanu like he was a mad man, but Haze was contemplating it. Maybe he could make some type of deal where he could get out of here.
Meanwhile, Sadie continued to look at the agent in front of her, the man’s fidgeting was beyond annoying her, but that’s when she noticed something. The man's hands were behind his back, and in the reflection of the mirror, she could see.
‘Are… his hands transformed… why would they be transformed?’ Sadie thought.
“Sir!” Sadie shouted. “We have a traitor!”
At that moment the White Rose agent moved from the window, heading right for Haze.
