Chapter 30 - Quite the Reception

The three woke up in different rooms tied up to a chair while Alex is on another room tied upside down while a Guard is explaining his situation. "Good morning Mr. Alex sorry for the inconvenience but we have taken you and your friends to custody for questioning. Also sorry for placing you in this situation we didn't have any spare interrogation rooms with chairs." Said the Officer. "Well, how long will I be in this situation?" Said Alex. "For around 2-3 hours since we've been a bit concerned on what happened on the other side. There will be a interrogation officer that will meet you here later so for now you have to wait." Said the Officer as he leaves the room.

10 minutes later... "Sorry for being late here Mr. Alex I'm your interrogation officer and I want you to give us some of your time to ask some questions if you mind." Said the Interrogation officer. "Yes, just lets get this over with." Said Alex. As Alex says this the officer slams his table. "What were you doing on the other side of that border?" Said the Interrogation officer. "We were just passing by town we're travelers." Said Alex calmly.

"Bullshit, no person has survive leaving that domain." Said the officer. "Really, we're just travelers that passed by the border what's wrong with that?" Said Alex. "Something's up I know it. Just tell me who are you working for." Said the officer. "Again we're just travelers what is wrong with you." Said Alex. "What's wrong with me? Cut the bullcrap already no one has ever left the Domain of Heretic without being crazy or alive even." Said the officer.

"I mean we could have just avoided the town and just walked around the border to avoid entering it." Said Alex. "Well except you weren't we saw you and your friends walking from the central road." Said the officer. "I mean if I have to tell you the truth you will just call it bullshit anyways." Said Alex. "Well if it is bullshit then I'm not buying it just say that you're spies of Heretic." Said the officer. "Well okay then... What if I told you we killed the Apostle Heretic." Said Alex as he is expecting to be called out for bullshit.

"The what?" Said the officer whom he didn't clearly hear what Alex said. "I said we killed the Apostle Heretic." Said Alex in a louder voice. "That's ridiculous how can you kill an Apostle?" Said the officer. "Like I said you won't believe it." Said Alex. "Like hell I would, no one has the ability to kill an Apostle except one person with a significant title namely." As the officer gets cut off from his sentence. "The Usurper?" Said Alex.

"So you know that title huh. I won't believe it until you prove it yourself." Said the officer. "To be honest I could just escape right now if you want to." Said Alex. "Impossible your hands are tied up." Said the officer. "You calling out my bluff?" Said Alex smugly. "Of course I'm calling you out because I won't stop here until I break you and tell me the truth that you and your little group of friends are spies." Said the officer. As the officer looks back at him to prepare the tools Alex silently escape the ropes and sits down grabbing a folding chair. "What tha-" As the officer hear the folding chair noise and sees Alex sitting down escaped the ropes. "Still bluffing?" Said Alex.

"Why you little-" as the officer tries to punch Alex the door opens and another officer whispers something to the interrogator. "Bullshit you're serious about this" Said the officer quietly back as the officer who gave the message nods nervously. "I got word from the upper saying that we've received word that you four are from Apostle Castle's special pardon due to your deeds there for handling the Title Murders going widespread over there." Said the officer. "Never knew that Castle would pardon us out." Said Alex.

"Speaking like you're close to him. Talk about ego right there" Said the officer as he's calmed out now. "Well we did challenge him and as rumor say he can't be killed. Even with my title." Said Alex. "Wait, we're serious about what you did to the Heretic?" Said the officer. "Like hell I wouldn't bluffing this Axe says it all." Said Alex as he shows the axe that he had been using all this time.

"Damn... Anyways your friends are fine they're waiting outside for you. My name's Officer Viktor I'd be seeing you around Mr. Alex. Hope you enjoy your stay here." Said Viktor. "What a way to enter a domain am I right?" Said Alex. "Hell I would have you known that you were working for Apostle Castle. Anyways welcome to the Domain of Judge follow the law of this land and you'll be fine your equipment and weapons are on the Firearms and Weapons desk." Said Viktor

As Alex leaves the interrogation room to pick up his equipment and stuff on the Retrieval area. "Uh, I have here the papers for my weapons." Said Alex to the person behind the desk. "Sure, let me take a minute here Mr. Alex" Said the officer behind the desk as he grabs the bag with the guns inside it. "Here we go Mr. Alex and here's your license to able to continue your work as a bounty hunter and we hope you continue your ever so helpful assistance on controlling the Title Hunting problems we've been getting." Said the Officer as Alex nods in confirming everything is in the bag and left the station.

"Been a while since I've been hunting those bastards and apparently they give you a license to kill those bastards." Said Alex as Jacob and the others are waiting outside. "How's your interrogation? We're they pissed off at you?" Said Jacob.

"Yeah but the guy was pretty reasonable for an Interrogator." Said Alex. "Anyways let's get down to business, Alex you can feel it right?" Said Night. "Yeah, something toxic is running this place. And its not the Apostle this time around." Said Alex. "Could it be the title hunters?" Said Elise. "For now we need to recon the area and start hunting those who hunt." Said Alex.

"Right we'll do the main recon we've been around in a few places already Night has been searching for materials for hidden agendas." Said Jacob. "Yeah, I've seen some hidden messages in the newspaper for example." Said Night.

"Sounds like you guys are ahead of me. Well I'll do my night sweeping while you guys handle the rest we'll meet again by the park okay?" Said Alex. Everyone nods and leaves to do their part of their investigation. "We'll have another bloody mess to clean up" Said Alex as they enter the third stage of their mission.
