Ember shot up in her bed slightly, sitting up before her eyes searched Zero's. They were slightly narrowed as they searched him, looking for possibly and fact that he was lying. Then again, Zero was never know for ever lying. "What. How and when Zero..." Her eyes were still narrowed slightly as she moved to stand up before moving over to her closet, walking in, closing the doors slightly before changing into a pair of pants and a tank top. When she stepped out she looked back at him. "Let's go check it out.. They added it up to the twentieth members this month. "

Zero turned slightly to lean against the wall, arms crossed over his chest loosely. He bit back the urge to make a playful remark as Ember closed the door; his better judgement had told him that this was not the best time. When she emerged, he unfolded his arms from his chest and stepped soundlessly across the room to join her. He continued his earlier report, his voice now louder, but still monotone, "Kinou was found in his bed, his throat slit. There were no signs of a struggle, and no evidence suggesting anyone had been in his room. Emile, on the other hand, was found in the second basement beneath the East wing, where he had been stationed. The door is completely torn from the hinges and broken into several pieces, and the room itself is in bad shape. Emile's corpse was missing the left arm, which was not found, and there is blood smeared throughout the room. Analyses show that it is not all his blood. The corpses have been moved to the morgue, but the rooms have not been touched, aside from the necessary testing." He took a deep breath as he finished, his mouth forming into a thin line as he once again waited for her reply.

Ember sighed as she leaned against the wall, her face showing that she was not happy at all. She sighed as she ran a hand through her hair. "Alright then... let's go check it out... I want the base in lock down... Now. Go ahead and through your threads everywhere that they aren't." She walked towards the door to her room. "Come one, we might as well go ahead and start checking out the area. If anything, there is a possibility that the attacker might still be here... And i'll be damned if I lose any more members... our numbers are low enough..."

With a short intake of breath, Zero nodded affirmatively. His threads were in every corner of the building already, but it would do no good to dwell on that. If the enemy could truly render them useless, rechecking them would change nothing. Instead, he turned his attention to the last thing she had said, "If our members die, then they obviously weren't good enough to be members in the first place. Such weaklings aren't needed here." His voice carried a sharp edge, unusually violent for a man who hid his emotions so well.

Ember sighed, heading down the hallway towards the different rooms, hitting the first one. "You have a bit of a point Zero, however, if they trained more often.. that would probably help them more often.. Hell, maybe if they paid more attention to their surroundings like you did..." She sighed again before continuing though the hallways, her eyes sharp and alert as she watched out for anything misplaced.

Zero silently followed after Ember, keeping a full two paces behind her rather than his usual habit of walking beside her and taking her arm. His eyes also took in everything, overlooking not a single detail. He listened to his leader wordlessly, remaining silent for a moment before starting, "Training can only get you so far. If you lack the resolve, lack the will to fight for your life and kill your opponent, you will never get anywhere. The members we have now have never seen real battle, how bloodthirsty and unforgiving it can be. They will never have what it takes."

Ember couldn't help but chuckle quietly. "Unfortunately that is true.. " She smirked slightly as she continued around the halls. "Maybe I should have you put them through hell and back to give them a taste of war." She still had her smirk on her face, however it turned darker this time as she stopped. "So, your the rat who managed to slip in here... Zero... threads." Her eyes watched the intruder, her gaze dangerous as she watched him. "I'll ask the questions, you answer... got it." The male glared at her. "Go screw yourself...."

Zero acted the moment he heard the man's insult, a slight growl sounding from his throat. He dropped to the ground, simultaneously drawing a small knife from a pouch at his waist and directing it at the man. He jerked his wrist to the side and the knife curved in it's path, encircling the intruder's ankle several times before Zero pulled the thread tight to knock him off his feet. "You should do what you're told," he said icily.

Ember smirked slightly as Zero reacted to the male insulting her. The male fell with a slight 'oof' before he glared daggers at the both of them. "I don't need to tell you guys anything. Go ahead. kill me. There will just be more sent here." Ember's eye narrowed as she got down into the guy's face, her eyes narrowed as she gripped his chin harshly. "Either you tell me. Or I'll have Zero here squeeze it out of you. Personally I'd rather watch Zero squeeze it out of you. It's a lot more entertaining for me, and probably for him as well." When the guy only glared at her before attempting to cut her arm with a hidden blade. Narrowing her eyes as she back off, ignoring the slightly deep cut into her arm she glanced over at Zero. "Have fun." She just simply moved to leaning against the wall.

A harsh glare seemed to overtake Zero's face as he stepped forward and lifted one foot to press the heel into the man's wrist, grinding it into the floor. But just as suddenly as he began, he stopped. He took a step back and smiled brightly, "Kill you? What do you take me for, an animal? I'd never do that." He bent down and easily hoisted the man to his feet by the collar, not losing his smile, "On the other hand, we can have much more fun with you while you're alive." The smile melted from his face as invisible threads erupted from his sleeve, ruffling the material. The threads wound around the man in Zero's grasp, ensnaring him like an insect in a spider web. Zero raised his arm, lifting the man several inches from the ground, and allowed another wan smile to flicker across his face, "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find this quite educational. You'd never believe how many different methods of torture there are in practice. And you'll get to experience them all first hand!"

Ember chuckled slightly before turning her back to Zero. "I'll leave you to your interrogation. You know where to find me when you are done having your fun." With silent strides, Ember left Zero there to do whatever it was he had in mind.
The male narrowed his eyes at Zero, not really caring what the male said. "Go ahead and try your torture devices... I will refuse to say anything about who sent me here."

Within two minutes, Zero had returned to his workplace, dragging the new prisoner behind him carelessly. As he entered the room, he flung the male into a corner and began to prepare.
The small room seemed quite conflicting; a comfortable, well-furnished bed rested in one corner, and a large oak dresser sat flush against back of the room. An enormous, ornate mirror just above it, and the polished surface of the dresser was dotted with various combs, pens, and other appliances. Clinging to the wall was a quite large flat screen TV, coated with dust from its lack of use, the remaining wall bare and gray. A thick, crimson carpet covered the floor underfoot. Yet the rug covered a mere quarter of the room, and the moment it ended, the feel of the room changed drastically.
Where there was not carpet, the floor was instead rough, worn stone tiles. A metal rack covered one wall, disturbingly filled with various chains, blades, and other vicious-looking torture mechanisms. A large coffin shaped box sat untouched in the corner, and perhaps the most disturbing of all, a set of iron manacles sprung from the adjacent wall, caked with blood. It seemed like a scene from a horror movie, and it was Zero's bedroom.
Zero picked through the blades with an exasperated sigh; in truth they were more for display than actual use. He was not one for unnecessary, flashy weapons. Seeing nothing that caught his eye, he turned back to his victim, his face a mask of apathy. In a bright, cheerful voice, he began, "Usually, I prefer methods that show results instantly. Waiting around with nothing to show is quite boring, don't you agree? But, I'll make an exception with you, since there is something I've been wanting to try for a while now."
With the swiftness of a bird of prey, Zero snatched at the male's collar once more and lifted him from the corner. As his right hand firmly held the man in the air, he clamped his left palm over the man's mouth roughly. "This might taste a bit unpleasant," he said with a smirk. Slowly, countless silvery threads began to creep from his hand and form inside the victim's mouth. After several moments, they surged forward, forcing themselves down his throat. When they had finished, Zero released his grip and began to chuckle, "Those threads of mine are working their way into your body right now. Soon enough, you'll feel them as they wrap their way around your organs. Sounds quite lovely, don't you agree?"

Ember sighed as she leaned against the wall, her head was throbbing a bit now. Resting her head against her palm, Ember stayed against the wall for a few more minutes. After that, Ember stood on her own two feet before recomposing herself. Ember had decided she was going to go check on the other members training. Not that she really cared... but she knew she had to look like she did...
It felt like it had come out of nowhere... but for some reason Ember's legs gave out from underneath her in the hallway. She cursed under her breath before attempting to stand back up, only to have a wave of dizziness strike out at her, forcing her back down onto her butt.

Before he'd even noticed, Zero's fingers had unwound themselves from his victim's collar, and the man had slid to the floor in front of him. His unseeing eyes were fixated at a single point on the wall in front of him, his mind blank. She had collapsed, that he was sure of. But what had happened?
Zero raced through the twisted network of hallways, his internal compass honing in on Ember. He nearly flung himself around the corner, and immediately caught sight of her. A sharp gasp escaped his lips as he looked at the scene before him.

A Male dressed darkly stood with Ember over his shoulder, just as Zero came around the corner. Realizing who the male was, he turned before taking off, knowing that he was to deliver the female to his boss. He had been told that if threatened by the male.. to use the female almost as a shield. He didn't exactly see how that would work very well... unless the guy Zero was highly attached to the now unconscious female resting over his shoulder.
He was surprised at how easily he had been able to poison her... he had just needed a distraction before offering some kind of challenge to the female... and taking out two of her men had been easy, she never realized she'd been poisoned from a bug that she never knew had bit her...
The male from earlier attempted to regain his breath before thinking on how to get out before trying to find his own way out of the hellish area...
