In the mist - LSF related

[kingvaillant]

Agitated, David wokes up in the middle of the night. First he thought it was a nightmare, but heard it again. This time it was even more distinctive. Someone was attacking a woman living on the station. He could hear her crying and begging for mercy.

No please! NOOOOOoooo finally screamed the victim as her last words.

In the blink of an eye, the Director got up on his foot and ran down the corridor toward the source of all the noise. When he turned the corner, he found nothing but an empty section of the space station with only him in it.

Then, something, a small object, was reflecting light. Drawing his attention. Crouching over it he noticed that it was a woman earring. Made of pure Silver, the object was the only proof that someone was there. Nearby, something else caught his attention; From where the earring was, to the end of the corridor, leading to one of the storage David had no access to, were Fingernails marks on the floor. What kind of crime could have happened to scare someone that much?

Curious of nature, he proceeded to the door of the forbidden room. There were no cameras and sensors of any kind. Confident, he attempted to eavesdrop the room, he could hear someone talking, but it was barely audible. Luckily, the door was not locked, a good and a bad sign at the same time... He could get in, without any problem, but the suspect could leave the room by this door at any moment. Otherwise, it would have been already locked. Slowly, he entered the room, at first sight, it looked like a storage but a few oddities showed David that there was something behind the wall of boxes he was facing. Determined, he inspected all the boxes that were big enough to let someone pass through. With luck, he found one, a 5' tall box. Someone entering the storage without looking for it wouldn't have noticed the air inaudibly whistling around the box.

Silently, David opened the box and found what he was looking out for. Behind the box, there was a long dark alley leading to an other door. This one, surprisingly, was armored. Staying away from any light sources, he walked to the door and listened to the conversation on the other side.

I will ask you one more time, will you join us human? asked a voice in the room
Please Joseph, why are you doing this to me? What is wrong with you begged the woman.
Your current nature, we will implant you a seed.
A nomad! Dave thought

At this moment, David jumped into the room. At his right, a tall man was guarding the door. In the quarter of a second David grabbed the man' arm and pulled it behind his back passing over the shoulder breaking all the articulations of the arm and pushing the man against the floor. Taking profit of the suspect' position, the LSF director crushed the person' cervical vertebra with his feet, killing the criminal instantaneously. In front of him was standing a man in front of a woman tied up in a chair. Turning his face to look at him, David recognized the last suspect, Browning.
