(Torture Part VI)
The sound of electricity is echoing in the whole room.
The Tick turns off the machine. Amir's body isn't moving.
"Did I kill him? 15 minutes of getting shocked is too much. I'll be in trouble if he
dies", thinking that The Tick walks up to Amir and pulls the cloth off him.
Amir is silent, his eyes are closed. The Tick grabs Amir's hair and tilts his face
upward and says in a low voice,
"Hey— Are you alive, you piece of shit?"
Amir is silent. His eyes are still closed. The Tick checks his breathing by placing his
finger near Amir's nose.Then he got angry, shakes Amir's head and yells,
"How you are still alive?"
Suddenly a sound shivers The Tick from his core.
"Hisssh" Amir says while his eyes are closed. Then with a cold and low voice he says,
"Don't talk, I'm arguing with the voices while sleeping~"
The Tick grabs his hair tighter and asks,
"Voices?"
Amir whispers,
"Ya, they are telling me to kill you?"
The Tick got angry and says,
"Are you making a fun of me? There's no one in this room except us"
Amir smiles and says,
"There is no one?
Or you can't just see them with your mortal eyes?"
The Tick gets afraid, takes a few steps back, wears a goggle and looks around, sees no
one. But when he looks at Amir's body with the google, he sees total darkness like a
black hole absorbing all the energies surrounding him.
Amir is smiling.
The Ticks laughs and says,
"You think I'm a fool to fall for your bluffs?
This googles can see through everything–
that human eyes can't see!"
Amir stares at his eyes and says with a serious face,
"I never lie~"
The Tick then got confused, he walks up to Amir and says with a low voice,
"Ok, then tell me–
Why I can only see darkness when I look at you?
When I should be seeing-
a red structure of your body like other humans!"
Amir smirks and says,
"You sure your gadget isn't broken?"
The Tick gets a little bit confused as he doesn't know if the gadget is working or not
as there are no other humans in the room to test it on.
Amir stares and says with a cold voice,
"Now I see–
Lower class workers get lower class gadgets,
It's Irony—Ayy—
Not to be able to learn or see the real truth,
Just because of your class~"
The Tick gets annoyed.
He puts the goggles back on table and looks at Amir and asks,
"So tell me something else!"
Amir smirks and says,
"Where's the cigarette?"
The Tick stares for a second then brings out a cigarette and places it on Amir's
mouth. Then lights it up.

"Did he tell you where he was going?"
Faruq takes a puff and says,
"Ya he went to visit his mom?"
The Leech Asks,
"Did he give you any location?"
Faruq replies,
"No, he never did!"
The Leech looks at Faruq with doubtful eyes and asks,
"So, after Amir gave you the house.
Did you start living with your wife there?"

"This is the place we are supposed to meet right?
But why does she want to meet at this midnight time?
Were the dress and the ring delivered safely-
by the courier service people on time?"
Thinking that Faruq starts calling her. But she doesn't pick up.
Suddenly something hit his head, he fell on the ground. He can't talk or scream for
help. His eyes are getting blurry. He sees some people are approaching him.
He hears some evil laughs and whispers of two people in a cold voice. The first one
whispers,
"Should we take him to the circus?"
The second one whispers to the first one,
"Nah, not him, we are taking her first,
Master wants fresh meat for the lions in circus"
The first one replies in a sarcastic voice,
"Let's rape him then!"
Suddenly the sound of two fire shots. Two bodies drop on the road near Faruq.
Someone walks up to Faruq and takes Faruq's phone.Everything around Faruq is
becoming darker and darker. He gets unconscious.

The Leech asks,
"Didn't you wear the silver ring?"
Faruq says with a low voice,
"I did-"
The Leech leans back and asks,
"Then how did they find you?"
Faruq takes a sigh and says,
"Someone might have tipped them off–"
The Leech asks with a smirk,
"You know the betrayer?"
Faruq replies,
"Not a single clue–"
Then The Leech lights up a cigarette , takes puff and asks,
"What happens next?"
Faruq is silent and sad.

Amir is smoking a cigarette while being tied up with the chair.
The Tick says with a deep voice,
"So you said you never lie, right?"
Amir replies with a low smiling voice while holding the cigarette in his mouth,
"Ask me anything?"
The Tick leans towards him and asks,
"Where's the blueprint?"
Amir replies with a smile,
"I don't have it with me now-"
The Ticks giggles and says,
"Alright, you won't speak of that easily.
Then tell me your weakness and your biggest fear"
Amir with a straight face replies,
"My weakness is I can't sleep~"
The Tick is just staring at him. Amir continues to talk,
"And biggest fear is to trust anyone ever again~"
The Tick asks him,
"Don't you trust your friend Faruq?"
Amir smiles and says,
"Friend? Trust?
All of these are illusions made by human-
to control each other"
The Tick gets fear in his eyes, he asks Amir with a low voice,
"Amir, are you really a human?"
Amir smiles and says,
"Yes, Amir is a Human~"
The Tick gets mysterious chills from the answer.
