The Caden military commander stamped into the cell where agent Filn was held. He stayed in the shadow so Filn could only hear his voice and see the outline of his huge bulk.
"We know your country is not at peace with ours and so anyone from your country who sets foot on ours is considered a spy. So, to what do we owe this august visit from a Hikelander?" The commander asked.
"I only came here on vacation. Am a historian". Filn replied.
The commander gave a deep and loud laughter. He slowly pulled at his cigar and puffed out the smoke slowly.
" Vacation right? That is good. How are you finding the beaches and the sunshine in here?" The commander gave another laugh.
Agent Filn kept quiet with his head bowed.
"Well, since you are here for a vacation, this is the right place for you. My men will make sure you enjoy every bit of it".
"I don't know what you are talking about". Filn mumbled.
" Oh yes, you do. And you will sing it out once my start giving you the beat". The commander said in between clenched teeth.
He turned to go then said to his men.
"Make sure you squeeze the truth out of him. I suspect him too much".
" Yes sir!" The Captain replied.
"I suspect what he is carrying is top secret, so he will be unyielding but do not relent until he either talks or dies. Am I clear?"
"Yes Sir!" The Captain said and saluted.
The commander took another look at agent Filn then walked out.
