Lore/The Encounter

*"Damnit!"* says Theo when he sees the reaper driving away on the motorbike with the intel.

*"Can't win all of them".* he continues, when he receives an email. *"Meet me at X:17612 12960, we need to talk about Deathwatch."* *"I'll be there ASAP."* replies Theo like nothing.

When he arrives to the meeting location, instead of expected one person, three of them walk out of the shadows. One man and two women. *"Greetings"* Theo's word pierces through the silence and he gets a reply from the man. *"Greetings!"* echoes once again. Even though one of the women didn't say a word, Theo could recognise those eyes anywhere. Ruby. *"What the hell is she doing here?"*. Theo notices a pistol in the other woman's pocket and before he realizes what a horrible mistake he has made, it's already too late. *"GET ON YOUR FUCKING KNEES HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEAD RIGHT NOW OR I WILL BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF!"* *"Ok, ok! Calm down!"* surrenders Theo. And before you could say "What the fuck" he is in the back of a tank handcuffed and gagged. While laying in the back of the tank, Theo notices the woman calling the man "Raul". Now Theo realizes what is going on.

After some time, Theo gets thrown out of the tank on the ground. Ruby isn't there anymore, its Raul and the other woman.

*"Now. Deatchwatch. Speak".*

*"You brought a fucking tank on me? With enforcers?"*

*"This is the Quiver, not enforcers"* After Raul finishes the sentence, Theo finally gets it

*"So you didn't sell us to the enfs, you betrayed us yourself"!* In the meantime Raul gets some knives from the tank.

*"How do I contact your colleagues? You better speak or I will begin to cut your nails one by one!"*

*"How does it feel being a traitor? Fuck you I ain't telling you shit"!* As he finishes the sentence Raul cuts his nail.

The torture continues on as Theo loses 2 more nails, gets shot twice in both of his legs, smacked with a pistol buttstock, kicked in his jaw, and getting salt in his wounds for some extra pain to top it all off. After all of this, Theo is left broken, hopeless, screaming for help in pain.

*"If you want help, answer our questions, starting with: Where is your money stash?"*

*"I told you-"* Theo coughs out some blood out of his mouth and continues *"I don't fucking KNOW"*

*"Too bad then"* says Raul with the woman continuing *"He doesn't know shit lets leave him here to bleed out"*

Some time after the woman leaves and Raul is about to leave Theo to bleed out and die. At the last moment he gives up and tells Raul *"Do you remember the island where we arranged our deal?"* *"It maybe is somewhere there"* Raul patches him up with some bandages, forces him to get in the tank and drives off. While driving Raul keeps talking about Deathwatch being terrorists and not caring about civilians and why Theo should leave. After a while Theo gets tired of his bullshit and starts slamming his hands still cuffed on all the sides of the tank. *"LET ME OUT YOU FUCKING BASTARD"* Theo screams, but immediately stops when he sees a gun pointed at him from the driver seat.

They arrive at the island, Raul has no luck whatsoever finding the money stash, he busts open the houses there, grabs everything valuable and all the cash that Theo had at that moment, loads it all on to a speedboat nearby, steals it as well and drives it off.

*"What a shitty day..."* Theo says and passes out.
