Double Time [Bella Ramsey, Jake Mac.]

Cassius had to choke down a giggle when he saw the girl shed a tear. He glanced between them. There seemed to be some recognition. Cassius stepped between them, sucking on the candy.

"Do you two know each other?" Cassius inquired, smiling slightly.

The "interrogation techniques" started to multiply in his brain until he settled on the perfect one. Yes, that would work perfectly!
Cassius started fishing his hand through his pockets searching for a certain item.

"Really?" Cassius asked, shoving the candy into one cheek and pulling out his desired item. It was simple really, something that people wore for show before Panem popped up. They called them brass knuckles, Cassius couldn't fathom why sense all the models he'd seen were made of different metals. These were steal and they slid right onto his fingers like a glove.

Cassius stepped over to the girl, Bella, and squatted down to her level.
"I think you're lying," Cassius said, flashing the girl a look before rising and pacing back to the boy. "And you know what happens to people who lie."

Cassius raised his arm ready to strike Jake.

"They're punished." Slicing through the air Cassius' knuckles made contact with skin, even scraping some off his victim's cheek. However he didn't strike Jake, he'd quickly swung his arm and back handed Bella. That should get the ball rolling... and the truth out.

Examining the detainees under his care, Cassius was both proud and disappointed at how easily the truth was squeezed out of them. However he had learned that they would tell him anything for keep the other safe. Bella pleaded with him to let them go since he had the truth now.

"Oh but my dear girl," Cassius slipped his hand under her chin forcing her to look at him. "I asked for information not the truth, you gave that to me free of charge."

Removing his hand Cassius swept across the room to Jake. "Now Jake I'm going to ask you a rather important question so listen carefully. Is there any other people that you know of that traveled with you and Bella? Any people who wander from District to District?"

The Peacekeeper force was still trying to worm out the wanders. They seemed to be many but they hide in Districts and blended in with the crowds there. Truth is, Cassius did not actually need anything from Jake or Bella. Perhaps they could reveal some names of other law breakers but in reality all Clayburn was doing was tormenting them for no good reason. To Cassius, that's the best kind or torture, with no motive and no goal you are working towards. Just plain creativeness to extract random information and break down the people bit by bit until they leave completely demolished without a hope of coming back together. Those are the people Cassius consider his works of art.

Leaning in, Clayburn place his lips right by Jake's ear so Bella could not hear what the Peacekeeper was saying.
"Because, you know what will happen if you don't tell me," Cassius left it up to the boy to figure out what horror might happen. Leave them guessing, one of the many tactics of the interviewing room and one of Clayburn's favorites.
