Chapter 22: Three Interrogations part 3

Zeph made sure to stick around long enough to spare the XO or sergeant the trouble of opening the door for the medical support drones before making his way to his final performance in his display of how not to conduct an interrogation if you want to keep internal affairs off your ass.

As he was on his way to interrogation room N, an idea popped into his head on how to make the process of getting information out of Six Fingered Joe far easier on both of them. As such he stopped mid stride and turned around going into the observation room where the XO should be preparing himself mentally for whatever tactics Zeph was going to implement next.

*Whoosh*

A slight wish whooshing sound could be heard as Zeph opened the door of the control room.

"You get lost, Cadet Demonbane? The interrogation room is down the hall a bit more. Can't miss it. Big heavy door with an N right above it."

"We both know that I know where it is, Commissioner. I came to ask for your permission regarding something with the interrogation of the next detainee."

"What realize that you went a little bit overboard with redecorating the inside of the interrogation room, and are worried about being given additional training involving a mop and bucket?"

"No Sir, not if you want to be able to enjoy the privilege of finding iced coffee in any machine in this building for the next few weeks."

"Hacking the machines not to vend them to me would be a chargeable criminal offense even for you."

"I have the ability to purchase all of them with a little bit of help. Not like I am going to be hurting for money after getting the bounty on the three of them."

"Please don't, the officers on the night shift make the worst coffee imaginable. Just tell me what you want Cadet."

"To make use of ES001's custom service and companion drone even though I am normally restricted from doing so during my training hours. I will of course be using it in an effort to obtain information from the last suspect that we have detained on charges of selling and distributing illegal Mod White. Other than a strictly official capacity I may have it bring a few things to interrogation room N that will be helpful in extracting information in a way closer to what my fellow recruits would be capable of using."

"What things would you have it bring?"

"Cheap snacks and a few bottles of water. Zorodo's reaction to my iced coffee was fairly strong. I do not believe that they have had much in terms of food or drink for several hours."

"I will grant you permission for this once, if you tell me how that drone that is already questionably part of the package for VIP's with enough status to get a stay in an ES level room is going to help you conduct an interrogation?"

"I don't want to ruin the surprise, but it has to do with how she looks, and less about what she is capable of."

"One moment while I send a request to lift the imposed restrictions, Cadet Demonbane."

"No need to trouble yourself Commissioner V., I think that the building's AI likes me, or thinks that I can help it get a new high-end processor equivalent to what the military bases have. It has already sent orders to it to come here along with a list of appropriate food items available in the closest vending machine to interrogation room N."

"I swear that AI is the biggest kiss ass I have ever seen. Can you even do something like that? I know that you should have lots of pull as a Level One Administrator, but that is classified tech I imagine."

"No idea to tell the truth. I better go reintroduce myself to Six Fingered Joe before she arrives. Building AI says enjoy the iced coffee commissioner, and not to choke on it when you see my personal drone."

"Get going cadet."

"Walking into interrogation room N like he owned the place Zeph gave the metal table a few taps."

*Tap*

"Good morning sleeping beauty. Have a nice nap."

Looking up to see the face of the one that he could vaguely recall from earlier in the night, Six Fingered Joe's glassy eyes tried to focus on the face, and access his VGPIINN.

"Hate to tell you that even your modified chip is not going to work in this rather special interrogation room built to handle even full blooded Nephilim. Not even a lower level admin could access the nuro net in here."

"You room service kid? Or maybe you could tell an adult to come let me make my one call to order a damn pizza."

"No, I am the one who arrested you and the other two that already sold you out Joe with extra fingers. If it was not apparent by the badge on my chest I am what is called a Black Badge. In other words your worst nightmare, an administrator level NEO."

"But I will be nice as long as you cooperate and tell me what it is that the boy up at Central want to know really bad. You know just snapping those cuffs on you is going to net me some serious credits. Guess the least I could do was see that you have something to eat and eat. I already asked a close acquaintance of mine to bring a little something for you to."

"I would kill for a slice of Tia's Pizza."

"Sorry, but it is just some stuff from a vending machine that the AI that is part of the control systems of this building recommended based on your vitals. Be a good boy and I can see about having pizza brought in on my tab for you and the college student. The Noise is not going to wake up anytime soon."

*Knock*

"Ah, that must be my close associate with the snacks and water."

"What about that coffee?"

"Yeah, that was supposed to be for me. It has been a long night. But I guess that I can always send for another one."

*Slide*

"Not going to thank you after what happened earlier."

*Beep*

"Stand clear, door opening."

"Thank you for bringing this stuff for me Lill."

Six Fingered Joe's glassy eyes suddenly snapped wide open and it was not because of the bottle of lukewarm supposedly iced coffee he slammed down in a single gulp.

"Ma, ma ma Mother Lilith!!"

"Master where should I put the light refreshments down? Is the metal table okay, or should I place them on the floor next to your feet?"

"Master?! Why is Mother Lilith herself calling you master? You don't look any older than that college student who turned down the wrong alley."

"Because master is my master."

The other recruits where in about as much shock as Joe other than the members of Squad One that got to get a personal experience with the drone that was a perfect look like to the real Lilith.

"Now can you please be a good little boy and tell my master who is supplying you and the other pushers in this beautiful city of demons with that dirty Mod. I would be very thankful. So thankful."

"Yes, dearest dark mother I will confess to my crimes and tell you everything that I know about the Mod White Pills and even the Black Label kind. My real name is...
