The four of them watched as the fat boy was dragged into a tall building. Tetsu looked pondorously, and asked the police, "For a moment, can we see what happens to him?"

The police looked at a piece of paper, thoughtfully, and seemed to decide that they had no other schedule. "Ok, but only for a moment."

Tetsu gave him a soulful smile, but the police ignored him. They marched on like a troop towards the giant gray structure. Inside was not bars and chains as they had expected, but gray walls with no openings to them. The doors blended into the walls as if they had never existed. 

"This looks like.. . Hell," Yuki remarked, cringing behind Ken a little.

"It is," The police replied. "It's soundproof, but I can let you hear what happens to the boy as well."

They advanced towards a certain gray, 'normal' door, and the police simply placed his palm against a black patch. A beep sounded. The door slid open heavily, revealing a bleak room. A moment of screaming filled the air, as they entered, and the screaming seemed to surround them as the door slid close again. 

It was that fat boy.

"Name: Alex Trotton, age 15, birthplace singapore.. .." The police told them. "Inability to conform shall lead to torture and brainwash. You are now observing the torture procedure."

Hyde watched on, unaffected, while Ken's and Tetsu's brows were furrowed. Yuki now cringed behind Hyde. 

"Torturing includes electrocuting and other non-scarring methods. You are now observing the process of the simplest and most basic of all -- electrocuting. After this, blood will be drawn from the body and he will be suffering from the lack of blood.... Synptoms are..."

"God! this is sick," Ken murmured, placing a comforting hand on Yuki. 

"May we go now?" Tetsu asked. Hyde nodded, allowing Yuki to cringe behind him still.

"Yes, if you must." 

The screams continued to sound huantingly after them, as if Alex Trotton had turned into a ghost. Tetsu closed his eyes slowly, comprehensively. 

"No, this cannot go on...."
