good vs {GOOD} (Jack)

I can hear the cries of the animals in the cells. It sickens me how they cry when a peacekeeper hasn't even laid a hand on them yet. I want to scream at them all and tell them to be quiet, but that's not my place. I'm here for one purpose, and that one purpose is to make sure Jack never trespasses into the Capitol woods again. I will do whatever I have to to make him cry and scream. I will break this guy like a twig. I will snap whatever sanity is holding him together. I will make sure he doesn't break the law of Panem ever again. People should respect the Capitol. The Capitol loves us, they care for us, and they gave us freedom. I crack my neck as I stare into the cell of the guy I've been assigned to interrogate. I've been waiting for this moment all day, and I will not let it slip through my hands. The grin on my face grows larger.

I stand in the cell behind the rusted, iron door that blocks them from civilization. These animals don't deserve to be released back into civilization. They should rot here in the detention center. My smile grows bigger as I look at his cellmate. His cellmate is obviously scared out of his mind, and it makes this extremely fun. I love watching people become afraid. Everyone here should be afraid of all the peacekeepers that are here because we do not take our jobs lightly. It's nothing like being back in District Eleven. All I did back home is watch the citizens work in the fields. I would stand for hours watching the citizens harvest the agriculture that is grown. I was to make sure nobody stole any of the fruit, or any of the equipment that is used. It was my job to keep the peace, and here I am taken away from what I know. I will show all the peacekeepers that it's not a mistake for me to be here in the detention center.

I'm surprised when he stands up and cooperates. Most people wouldn't cooperate at this time. They would be screaming, begging for mercy, but I have no mercy to show them. I don't know what this mercy they beg for is. I don't know what he's up to, but I do know he's not going to last like this much longer. "Don't worry. It's going to be okay." He says to his cellmate. I want to laugh at him. It's going to be okay? Is he stupid or what? Oh yeah, he's stupid because he's betrayed the loving Capitol. I throw the shackles on his hand and lock them together with a loud clank. I just hold the end of the shackles as we walk out into the hall. I slam the door shut behind me leaving the little baby animal trapped in the cell all alone. I don't think anyone will have to torture him as he's already tortured himself into insanity, but I would love to get my hands on him.

"You got the wrong guy. I didn't trespass." I have the wrong guy? Is he really stupid enough to question my authority? Is he really that stupid? I walk swiftly through the halls dragging him along behind me. I can't wait to throw him in that chair. I can't wait for this to begin. I'll teach him to never question my authority. I'll make him wish he never trespassed into the Capitol woods. I have the evidence that I need. I have witnesses stating he went into the woods. "I have the wrong guy?" The coldness of my voice fills the area surrounding me slicing through the air. "I have the wrong guy?" I ask again my voice raised to a yell. My heart starts pounding as the adrenaline starts surging through my veins. I was half way calm until this ignorant animal questioned my authority. Just wait until the fun begins. I stop in front of the interrogation room. I remove the keys from my pocket and unlock the door.

"Get inside!" I walk through the door jerking the shackles hard behind me. I walk over to the small chair that's sitting in the middle of the room. "Sit down!" My voice cracks slightly from the yelling, but it's not very noticeable. I lock the shackles into place once he's sitting down. My grin on my face growing larger with each second that passes. I walk over to the door and slam it shut behind me. "Your games are going to stop here. Don't you ever question my authority again. I have the evidence that you trespassed, and you are going to pay for that crime. Give me a good reason why I shouldn't send your scrawny little ass off to the Capitol? You should be serving them! You should be grateful for everything the Capitol has done for you, but you betray them. You go against everything they have done." I put my face inches from his face.

"I have many techniques to torture you, and I will use them. I will make you wish you never trespass in the Capitol woods ever again."

Back in District Eleven, people listen to me without questioning me. I don't have to speak twice. I say, and they do unless they want to be punished. I don't know anyone that wants to be punished. It's like the citizens of eleven are afraid to cross the line. I know if I was a citizen I would be afraid to step out of line, but I persecute people that crossed the line. I made sure it was the last time they stepped out of line. I was the peacekeeper that nobody wanted to mess with. Yes, it was hard for me to punish the elderly, but I had to, and I kept my head held high. I would allow that grin to grow on my face despite the horrible feeling I felt inside. I need to get over that. I need that to change because I have a job to do, and I will do that job right.

The difference between District Eleven and the Detention Center is these good for nothing animals that's detained here committed a crime deserving of the sentence. Every criminal should be forced to work at the Capitol, and believe me, I wish they did, but it doesn't work that way. They don't want every animal to serve the Capitol. It would be overwhelming to have so many Avox running around. If the citizens from all the districts were working at the Capitol, who would be able to compete on the Hunger Games? It would be disasterous if that happened. I know I live to watch the games. I don't pick favorites, but I laugh as they die. It brings joy to my life. Yeah, so much fun watching children die. And my father wanted me to volunteer for that.

I stand here in front of this animal that thinks trespassing in the Capitol woods is alright. I stare at him. The grin on my face disappearing. I wish I could just out a bullet through his head and get it over with. Better yet, I wish I could turn him into an Avox to serve the Capitol. That would teach him to question my authority. I take a deep breath trying to keep my anger under control for the moment. I can't just blow up and release the anger in one setting. I want to save that for the fun. "I'm not questioning your authority, sir." I look at him. He did question my authority when he said he wasn't trespassing, but I don't understand why he's doing this now. "What do you call it then?" I hiss. "You think you can just walk into the woods and nothing happen? It's against the law!" My voice is full of anger and rage. I raise my hand and bring it across his face hard.

"I don't even know why I'm here. I did a cattle run from my home of district 10 to district 11 because the people there needed food. I'm pretty sure you know that our two districts are allowed to trade. I have official papers that allow me to do the run." He states clearly. It only pisses me off more. My heart pounds hard, and rapidly under my chest. Loud, deafening ringing blocks out the sounds surrounding me. "Well obviously you have to come up with an excuse to get out of the crime you committed. Everyone that's here has to come up with an excuse. Nobody wants to own up to it! It's always someone else fault! It's never the fault of the person that committed the crime!" My voice echoes throughout the room. The sound of my heart echoes inside my head. My temples throb. This fool is giving me a headache.

"There at my house if you don't believe me." Well isn't that a wonderful excuse. He's here, and his legal documents are at his house. I'll have to go search his house to find those legal papers. "Looking at your file, this isn't the first time you've trespassed into the woods. You were arrested for the same thing before. Did your time in the Detention Center not teach you anything? Do you enjoy spending your time locked away? Would you enjoy being an Avox? I personally would love to have the honor of making you an Avox. It would be so much fun. Don't you think?" I stare at him with the evil grin growing on my face again as I wait for him to answer. Why are these people idiots? Do they really think they can outsmart the Capitol?

"I think your lying to me. You best start telling the truth. My patience is wearing thin."

I wish my father could see me now. I wish he was capable of seeing the peacekeeper I've turned into. I did this for him to get out of volunteering for the Hunger Games. I'm cruel, and violent. I've trained most of my life for the games, but I'm not stupid enough to put my life on the line. I remember the day my trainer told me I would never be anything special, well, I'm a peacekeeper now, and I've been given the honor of being placed in charge of interrogating in the Detention Center. I get to make their lives living hell. I get to make them wish they never committed the crimes. I get to send people to the Capitol to become Avox. I get to break these people in half. I'll never be anything special, well look at me now, who's nothing special now?

My hand stings from the impact I made on his face, but it's nothing, in fact, it makes me slightly happy knowing how hard I slapped him, yet he didn't make a sound or anything. His face only turned in the direction I slapped him. I could tell by the impact that my fingers were going to be embedded into his face. I stare at him waiting for him to tell me the truth. He's here, but he won't confess to his crime. He keeps going on about how it was legal business. He's trespassed before! He's been arrested before, but he refuses to own up to this one. He stares at me for a moment with hopeful eyes. My hands tense at my side begging me to slap the hope out of his face, but I want to hear him out just to see if he confesses.

"That's right, sir." He states rather calm bringing an eerie feeling over me. He's trespassed before and he admits it. "I've done time here and I've learned my lesson back then. I'm also a father now. Never would I risk my childrens future with something that stupid....." I take a deep breath and run my hands over my eyes. He's not afraid of me. He thinks it's all a misunderstanding, and it might be, but he's here for trespassing! My mind screams at me. Everything inside of me is screaming to shut this guy up. I return my gaze towards him. Turning him into an Avox would be nice. I can tell by the look at him, how all the color leaves his face, that is something he's afraid of. I've finally reached something I can use to break him.

"I think someone is afraid of becoming an Avox." My voice is full of curiosity wanting him to say more. "Are you afraid of being an Avox? Are you afraid you'll never be allowed to go home to see your children again? This is your second time trespassing. I'm not sure the other peacekeepers would appreciate it if I let you go back home." I smirk. Now this is what I'm waiting for. "I have every right to send you to the Capitol right now. I should have your tongue removed so you'll never be able to trespass in the woods again. You'll never see your family again. If you care about them so much, you shouldn't have trespassed." I reach into my pocket and pull out a lighter I use to light my candles with. I flick it on and off watching the flame grow.

"I'm not lying, I swear. All you have to do is send somebody to my home and you'll find the papers. The major issued them. He also has them on file. Please. I swear. I love the Capitol and would never do anything to do it harm. I'm trying my best to live a good life now that I've learned what's right and wrong." Desperation calls for desperate measures. I hold the lighter in front of him. He even says he loves the Capitol, and he would never do anything to harm it, yet he's sitting here for trespassing. "Other peacekeepers are stationed in District Ten. Why didn't any of those peacekeepers inform me about the papers? Is this all another lie to cover up for trespassing?" I ask trying to make my voice sound innocent yet full of sarcasm.

I walk up to him and place my hands on his shoulders and start shaking him."Do you know what I think of liars?" I ask with a grin from ear to ear. "I think liars should rot in hell." I light the lighter and bring the flame as close to his face as I can without touching him.

One day back in eleven, I was interrogating this elderly woman. I didn't even give her a chance to talk. Her crime wasn't even that bad, but I had rules to follow. I was forced to publicly humiliate her. I was forced to by the other Peacekeepers, but I didn't want to. It broke my heart inside, but every peacekeeper needs to be stiffened up somehow, and that's how I learned. My soft spot for the elderly has to go away now. It was a bad day, but I went through with what I was assigned to do. I couldn't even look the elderly woman in the face because I didn't want to see the pain she was going through. Out of all the Districts, why did I ask to be sent to eleven? It's one of the strictest Districts, and there's a lot of elderly people. That ran through my mind a lot. Other peacekeepers would ask me what was wrong, and I would always reply saying nothing was wrong because I couldn't let them know. I didn't want to lose the job I love.

Today, I stand here interrogating this animal. He trespassed into the Capitol woods, not once, but twice. He trespassed before, and he was arrested for it, but he decided to trespass again. He said he learned his lesson, but I don't think he did; otherwise, he wouldn't have trespassed a second time. He wants me to believe he trespassed with papers, and I might have to send peacekeepers to Ten to investigate this. Right now, I believe he's just trying to get out of trouble, and so far it's not working because he is guilty. He committed the crimes, and I'm not afraid to make him pay for it. I will not sit here listening to him say he didn't do it because he had legal papers. It's not going to happen. I'll ask him one more time, and if he lies again, I'm going to make him wish he never lied. I slowly remove the lighter away from his face as he starts talking.

I can tell the threats of making him an Avox has taken a toll on him. For a moment, I think he may give in, but he just stares at me with his blank expression. Even the flame from the lighter didn't make him flinch. The smile on my face goes away. I wipe my face clear of all emotions to make myself look bored. I've done this many times because I don't want him to get what I'm thinking. "Good thing I'm not one of them." I look at him, and I bring my hand across his face hard again. "You are lying, and it will stop now." The palm of my hand tingles slightly as I grab the lighter again. "Are you really this stupid? I'm not stupid because I can tell when someone is lying, and you are lying." I flick the lighter on and off waiting for him to respond. I'm ready to burn him. He needs to go burn in hell for trespassing. It's law for the Capitol that loves him so much.

"The Capitol loves you. They feed you. They make sure you are taken care of. They take care of us all. Is it that hard to understand?" I ask trying to keep my voice calm. Trying to hide the anger that I'm feeling. I look at him through gritted teeth. "You trespassed in the woods. I have the evidence. I have witnesses. Own up to it, and I'll let you go. All I want is a confession. You are making this hard on yourself. It doesn't have to be like this. All you have to do is stop lying and own up to your wrong doing!" My voice has risen to a yell echoing through the room. I walk away from the chair for a moment trying to think of another way to make him talk. To make him confess to what he's done, but it seems impossible. Sweat drips down my back soaking my shirt making it hard to keep nice and neat. Now isn't the time to think about looking neat. I walk back over to the criminal and I bring my face to his to talk to him, but he talks before I get the chance.

"You're a peace keeper. A man of honor, who doesn't lie and work by the rules. Maybe you should check out whether I'm lying or not because otherwise you'd be the one breaking the law by punishing an innocent man. There's no cover up." I look at him as anger surges through my veins. What in the world is he talking about? I ask myself. I want to slap him across the face again, but I'm stunned on what he said. He's questioning my authority again, and I warned him about questioning my authority. I flick the lighter on and the smile on my face grows back. "What did I tell you about questioning my authority?" I hiss. "I warned you before to not question me, and you have. Now, you must pay." I flick the lighter on and off again staring at this animal as anger surges through me. "This is only the beginning. Stop with the nonsense and start talking."

In my hand, I hold the lighter I'm going to use to burn this guy. I'm going to make him wish he would own up to what he did. He has trespassed before, and was sent home. He should have learned, but he trespassed again. He went into the woods breaking the law. He deserves to be an Avox, but I need him to talk. I can't turn him into something before he admits to what he did. I flick the lighter on and off as I pace around the room trying to figure out a way to get him to speak the truth, but what he said about attacking an innocent man weighs on my mind. I have the evidence I need, and I want to punish him, but I can't punish him right now. He says he has papers at the Mayors office. If he has the papers, I don't want to be the bad man. I can't cover it up if he has the papers. It's a bunch of what ifs. I clench my hands into fists angry. I walk over to him to see if he's ready to talk, but what's happening catches me completely off guard.

This fool has lost his mind. He's cracked up laughing for no reason whatsoever. It's funny to see a soul being crushed like a bug. Most people go insane by sitting in their cells for a long time, but others have to wait until the interrogation to go insane. It makes my job so much more worth it. Back in Eleven, it was fun watching the people beg for mercy. It was fun watching them crack under the pressure. It's made everything worth it. Everything about it amuses me. I don't understand why I get amused by it, but the Capitol is always right, and I live to serve them. I live to serve them and make sure everyone of the citizens live to serve them. Everyone needs to love the Capitol that first loved them. I usually keep my anger under control, but this idiot right here in front of me is testing my patience. He's testing me trying to break the thin sheet of ice keeping me from beating him to a pulp. I could kill this guy right here right now without thinking twice about it.

"The Capitol loves us. They take great care of us all." He laughs out loud almost making me feel like an idiot. I crack my neck and look at him. This guy has literally lost his mind. It's going to make my job so much easier. The anger continues to build inside me threatening to shatter the ice I'm walking on. The spark has been lit, and it's only a matter of time before the fuse detonates the bomb at the end of it. I'll make sure this guy hates me for the rest of his life which might only be a few seconds if he doesn't get his act together right now. Does he really believe this or is he just making it up? I ask myself trying to consider for a moment. It's possible that I've got to him. It's possible that everything is going according to plan. I allow the evil grin to grow on my face again as I approach him waiting to hear more from him. "I guess by killing everyone you love they do make sure that there's enough food left for the rest of the population."

I stop in my tracks. I feel like my brain has just exploded as I stare at him. Either he's being a fucking smart ass, or he just understood that the Capitol really does love him. It's hard to tell from his voice, and him laughing like he is, but I think my work here will be done soon. I think he's finally got it, but I won't let this grip on him go. "So you understand the Capitol loves you, but you're not fully convinced. Who are you trying to convince? Me? You? I don't need to be convinced. The Capitol does what it has to do. Anyone caught breaking the law will be dealt with accordingly. You seem to have a problem, and I am here to fix that problem. I am here to make sure that problem never happens again." My voice steady and calm. I open to speak again, but he beats me to it. "I cannot admit something that I haven't done. Yes, I've been to district 11. I had orders though. Do you hear me? Are you getting this? Maybe you should make a note. The orders are at the majors office and at my home. Go check them before you waste your precious time on me." His voice grows louder and stronger as he speaks. My temper flares inside me. This guy, the one that I thought understood he did wrong, has gone and pissed me off.

I walk up to him and place my hands on his shoulders pressing him hard against the seat."I don't know who the hell you think you are to yell at me. I will contact the peacekeepers of District Ten to talk to the Mayor. If he has the papers, I will let you go. I will do no more harm to you, but be warned. If he doesn't have the papers, I'll make sure the rest of your life is a living hell. I'll make sure you never see your family, District Ten, or anything ever again. Do I make myself clear?" My own voice raising to a yell echoing around the room. I'm at a stale mate right now. I can't harm him until I know for sure whether he has committed the crime or not. I can't afford to lose my job for torturing an innocent man. He might be innocent in the law, but in my eyes he's a filthy animal that deserves to be a Avox. I remove the notepad from my pocket and write down to check with the peacekeepers of District Ten. You may have won right now, but I promise you won't be winning for very much longer.

I was having a wonderful day sitting in my office drinking tea. I was enjoying looking through the files of the animals being detained here. I knew I was in charge of interrogating one of them, but it never really crossed my mind what it would be like. I pictured the animal submitting to the master bending to the masters will. I pictured it would be easy as the master threatened the animal, but there's always at least one animal that is hard to break. The animal does everything it can to not submit to its master. The animal doesn't care what the master says, or how the master threatens him; instead, the animal keeps doing what he wants. He's stubborn unwilling to change. I thought I would be able to walk into this interrogation without a problem. I thought this animal would admit to everything to keep from being punished, but he's not. He's refusing to own up to what he has done. He stated he learned his lesson from the first time he was here,but I think different. I think he hasn't learnt anything because he wouldn't be back here if he did, yet he states over and over he's innocent, and we have the wrong man.

I've never been so confused in my entire life. I hate this man for stating he's innocent. I hate this man for saying I could get in trouble for punishing an innocent man. I hate that he's sitting here laughing in my face. He's dumb and stupid. I want to kill him for being so stupid. He trespassed in the Capitol woods twice now, and he has been arrested both times, but trespassing is illegal. It's against the law of to trespass, yet he says over and over he's not guilty. He's innocent, but why would he be arrested if he was innocent. He doesn't deserve his freedom. He's a traitor to the Capitol, and he should be turned into an Avox, but he says he's innocent. I don't care if he's innocent or not. He's been arrested for trespassing, and he must be punished for it, but he says he's innocent because of some legal papers. Legal papers he doesn't have with him. It's making me angry. I want to wrap my hands around his neck and snap it, but I would end up in trouble for killing him. Who cares if he's innocent? He deserves to be punished. He deserves to rot here. He deserves to die for trespassing, but that would only give him freedom.

"Clear as daylight boss." I look at him fire lit in my eyes as anger surges through my veins. Each time my heart beats, anger surges through me causing my adrenaline to pulse through my body. "You go on and hurry up because your buddies have arrested an innocent man and we all know the Capitol loves us all so much and only wants our best...who knows maybe I can become a peacekeeper to..." I stop in my tracks and throw the notebook as hard as I can against the ground. My hands ball into fists. My heart dances under my chest as a new fuse has been lit. He is really stupid. I give him an okay you may be innocent, but all he does is come back and slap me in the face. He's trespassed and I will make sure he gets the punishment he deserves. He deserves death, but I won't give the freedom to him. I glare at him as I feel my temperature rising. I can feel my blood boiling in my veins. I can feel each heart beat echoing throughout my brain. I can feel my heart pounding on the side of my face. "Do you realize how big of an idiot you are?" I ask trying to tame my tongue, but my voice is loud and echoes through the room. "I honestly don't think you learn. You trespass, then you think your innocent. Okay, you may be innocent, but you just come back and slap me in the face. You are not innocent!"

My own voice surprises me with the coldness of it. I can feel the hairs on my neck raising as sweat drips off my face. "You think your stupid little games are going to save you, but they aren't. You want to be set free without being taught a lesson. Well, I have news for you. I will not let you out of my site until you answer every question I have honestly. I am done playing games with you. I am sick of it,and it stops now!" I'm screaming at him. I'm screaming as loud as I can as I look down at my lighter. He is a liar, and I think Lars deserve to burn in hell. I'll give him a little piece of hell. I'll make him stop laughing if its the last thing I do. I turn away from him trying to calm myself down before the blood bursts an artery killing me, but the fuse is running too hot for me to calm myself down. Everything I was going to do for him doesn't matter anymore because he's an idiot. He's lying to get out of trouble. He can say he's innocent all he wants, but it's not going to matter anymore. I don't care if he's innocent or not. I don't care if I am forced to retire as a peacekeeper because this ignorant little animal in front of me is going to pay.

He's innocent though. He says he's innocent so it must be true only I don't believe him. "I told you before, and I'm telling you again. I think liars should rot in hell, and you, Mr. Lexington, are lying to me. I hate liars." The evil grin grows large on my face as I look down at the lighter. I flick it on and off as I walk near him. I can feel the heat of the lighter next to my hand each time it turns on. The anger and adrenaline surges through me forcing my feet to move forward. I just look at him grinning as I get closer. I stop in front of my notepad. I pull out a sheet of paper and was it up into a tiny ball. I place my old pen through it. I light the paper on fire, and I stop when I'm standing right in front of him. "Start telling the truth because its only going to get worse from here. I promise." I place the burning piece of paper on his arm forcing the flame to go out. "Now, you best start talking. He's not innocent. He's not innocent. He's not innocent. He's an animal that deserves to be punished.
