The general raised the pistol sending a bullet through Tom's shoulder knocking him back to the ground. The startled Matt gave out a distraught scream rushing to Tom's side but refusing to touch him. Edd filled with adrenaline picked up the chair and threw it as hard as he could at the intruder, however he missed and the general walked up to the smaller man kneeing him in the stomach and shoving him into the wall and letting him slide to the ground.

Tom's POV
My shoulder feels hot, I can't feel my arm but moving it hurts. My head hurts and my vision is hazy I feel sick. Darkness.

Tom slowly opened his dark eyes, he looked around still dizzy and in pain, Edd and Matt were tied to chairs and struggling Tom tried to move his hands but they were bound behind his back, seeing Tom awake Matt yelled "behind you!". Tom snapped his head around sure enough there stood the general gun pointed at him. The room was silent and Tom could hear the wheezy breathing of the old man. The general broke the tense silence "Well, Tomas was it? Tell me..." Tom gave him a confused look. "The base you moron" the general kicking Tom in the torso.  Edd whined and tears escaped Matt's eyes. Tom stayed silent, the general punched him hard in the face. Tom panted spitting some blood onto the generals hand. The general scoffed.

Matt's POV
I'm staying quiet, what else can I do? Edd is terrified and so am I, I don't understand what the man is talking about. I'm worried for Tom. Wait, Tom's holding something in his hand, it looks like.... Is that a Nokia? Oh my god, I would laugh if this situation wasn't so dire.

"Not going to talk hmm? Well what about this" the general walked over to the kitchen grabbing a knife, walking to Edd and putting it to his throat. Edd screamed crying. Matt panicked "Tom! Do something!". Tom's eyes widened, " Let's try again shall we, where is the Red Army base?!" He emphasized the last three words. Tom trembled watching the knife inch closer to Edd's skin, "Its south of here! A grey building by the hills by the sea!" Tom choked out tears staining his bruised cheek. The general smiled and pulled the knife away from Edd kneeling in front of Tom shoving the tip of the knife into his nostril making him squirm. "Good, now. What security is there?" Tom dodged the question "What are you going to do with us?". " Well answer me or not, you and your friends will die. Answer correctly and I'll make it quick and painless, don't and you'll suffer for hours, maybe days".

Tom looked to Matt and Edd, they seemed to be focused on something. The general pushed the knife in a little further, "Answer   my    question". " There's a secretary, he watches thee cameras and is stationed at the front door, there are over a dozen guards around the perimeter and halls". "Where is the main office?" "Third floor! Not sure which door it is but the label is in a foreign language!" Tom lied. The general nodded "Thank you" he grabbed his gun and reloaded, the three shuddered saying their goodbyes to each other. Only interrupted by a door slam and gunshot,in the doorway stood a figure, one both Matt and Tom recognized. Tord.
