She opened her eyes and looked at him, her eyes calculating every single on of his steps.
"I seem to have that effect on some people." She replied, a faint smile tilting the corners of her lips upward. Something in her was glad to see him, even with all that had happened. "So, what did your Commander think of my interrogation?"
“He didn’t buy it, not sure how though. That’s pretty terrible what happened to your family, I’m really sorry,” Santiago said, his eyes full of sympathy.
She nodded. "He was a Commander. The day he came back, he said he saw something. . . terrible. The next day he didn't come back home, and the next thing we knew, Republic soldiers were at our doorstep."
“Oh infierno,” Santiago said softly to himself. He reached out and patted her shoulder in an attempt to be comforting, but the way he reached just looked awkward. He dropped his hand back into his lap and leaned back, sighing. “This is insane..”
"Yeah, couldn't agree more." She sighed and adjusted her leg. "I'm surprised you didn't realize who I was. . . you seem very smart to me."
“I mean, I definitely am,” Santiago said in a joking tone before going slightly more serious. “You just had a decent disguise, and I would have never really thought that I met a famed outlaw.”
"Why wouldn't you have thought that?" She smirked as she leaned closer.
Flynn went to the doctor's office and opened the door too quick for her own liking, but her mind was racing, she didn't have time for courtesies "I need a medical team right now" She ordered looking around to see people moving. She left the room with a medical team behind her and guided them to Rylan's cell "She's got a leg injury and I want you to fix 'er up, I don't want her dead before we can kill her ourselves" She lied trying to sound as hard and cold-hearted as possible to give more credibility and superiority to her words
“I don’t know!” Santiago exclaimed, laughing. “You were sooo nice and it just swept my worries away.”
"Hm, nice. That's a new one." She grinned, her dark hair falling around her face.
Flynn entered Rylan's cell with the medical team behind her, "I want you to stay calm and do whatever they tell you to do, you better not screw this one up" Flynn said still playing leader, she eyed Santiago and Rylan, trying to tell them to just roll with her, she knew they where smart and will get the message
(I gotta go I have a school reunion)
( see you soon then )
She leaned back against the wall and glared at the medical team, playing her part again. "What are you going to do?"
Santiago nodded at Flynn, then shifted his gaze to Rylan. “They are just going to take care of your leg. No need to be aggressive, compañera,” He said, freely using the term as he knew the team didn’t understand spanish.
(Okay.)
She relaxed her gaze at Santiago's word, compañera, and let the medical team start to work on her leg.
Santiago gave her a smile and watched the men team, greatful knowing that they’d do a better job than him.
After about 45 minutes, the team packed up and moved out of the room, not wanting to be next to a notorious criminal. They had cleaned it and stitched it up. She nodded to them in thanks and turned towards Santiago.
"That wasn't so bad." She said, but her grimace told him otherwise.
“Maybe we can get some pain pills,” Santiago suggested thoughtfully.
"Yeah." She replied. "Thanks again. . " She trailed off, knowing that thanks didn't cover it. He had just helped her even though he was a Republic solider.
"So, I'm going to be executed?" Rylan asked.
“No problem,” Santiago replied. He exhaled sharply when she brought that up. “Okay, I don’t know much about that at all. Alex only said he would do that if you didn’t cooperate. I don’t really work in that department at the moment, I’m more of a tech person.”
She nodded slowly. "Once they get the information, they're going to use me as an example. Aren't they? They can't let me go."
Santiago’s gaze shifted downward and he hesitantly nodded slowly. “That’s what they said.. but I’m sure we can make a compromise! You still have some rights in this world.”
She frowned, her eyes sympathetic for Santiago's concern. "I'm afraid I don't have those rights anymore. They think I'm working with the Patriots and the Colonies. I'll just be an example for the rest of the people in this country."
