EXTRA GRETEL Chapter 312: Children

They were all led to another, different hallway, lined with what seemed to metal boxes, not identical to the storage carriers that Gretel had seen when prisoners were transported different jails, or when you generally wanted to protect a person by any means possible by placing them in those almost completely impenetrable boxes. She tried to summon a more cheery application of their usage in her mind, to try and stave off the lurking and growing feelings of dread that were gradually beginning to consume her. She remembered once seeing a one of those arrive, attached to the bottom of helicopter, arrive within the central courtyard of her university, bringing along a semi prestigious doctor of sorts in a little show to rally up the students' enthusiasm and lift their spirits. It didn't work. Only a few students had actually recognised him and even fewer found it within themselves to properly engage with the display with any proper sort of enthusiasm that

Chapter 313: The Other Ways

“There were no mind altering substances, data recording devices, spyware, encoded negative mechanisms or any other failsafe technologies inside the nanobots, unless they somehow managed to utilise technologies that we are not aware of,” Tweedle Dum recited out to Lila. He sat in her office chair, reading out of a manilla folder, and faced Lila after making his statement, sunglasses concealing his eyes from her and expressing no emotion on his face. “What about the cameras and mics in Jasper and Emmet’s flat?” she asked, tapping her fingers on the desk. “They have all been removed. We anticipated the situation and knew that we were going to lose money, but protocols needed to be followed, so the actions were taken, as ordered,” Tweedle Dum answered her, his voice giving away his disappointment and annoyance. “How do I know that you’re not lying to me?” Lila shot back at him, dropping her head down into her arms on the desk, her mouth stretching out int

EXTRA GRETEL Chapter 314: Silent Money

Inside her little prison, Gretel immediately fell onto the floor and curled up into a ball, sobbing into her arms as she tried to hide her face away from the world around her and all the greys that she was seeing. She didn't want to see anything right now. She didn't want to even exist. She desperately wished that she was dreaming and that any moment now, she would just wake up and her mother would be leaning over her, one hand holding a warm mug of tea, ready to sooth her and provide a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen to. But no. She would never see her mother again. Gretel had spent her last few moments on a commute reading about a distant war and trying on outfits, and if she had know that those were her final stretch of freedom, she would have spent the entirety of it talking to the woman who had brought her into this world and then raised her. With a sinking, guilty, feeling, she realised, then and there, that she w

Chapter 315: Negotiations to Enter Hell

“Yeah.. that’s fucked up, y’know?” Lila quickly cut Tweedle Dum short, unable to take more of what he was saying. She definitely did not want his job and refused to acknowledge how close she was to getting his career. If she had actually co operated with him the first time that they met, then she might have been his office colleague, instead of someone that was supposed to be kept at arms length for all of her perceived faults and issues. “Alright then, we can discuss what you’re going to be doing, from now on, to ensure that the timeline is going to be straightened out and everything will work out fine,” Tweedle Dum segued into,” First things first, we need to bring Emmet to the specific time that he arrives in the future. Do we have a date?” “No,” Lila answered him bluntly,” and I don’t think that even he has a date either. Half his limbs were broken and he spent an unspecified time there unconscious and needing to be taken care of.” “That’s alright

Chapter 316: The Beast

“Fine, hypothetically, and only hypothetically, if I do stay behind, how do I do the thing that you want me to do? I don’t have a floorplan. I don’t know how their computers work. I don’t know their language, and I have no way of combating whatever security implements are there,” Lila cried out, firing question after question in complaint and argument and throwing her arms up. “All those things would be valid counter arguments, if we didn’t have someone who manage to beat all those odds in our custody,” Tweedle Dum grinned back at her. “Do any of his methods not involve murder? Answer me that,” Lila hissed back at him, pulling her hands down below the desk. “Emmet’s not dead,” Tweedle Dee laughed at her. “Not on the outside,” Lila darkly muttered,” That man’s obsessed with Jasper. If Jasper wanted to burn down a building, Emmet’d be there cheering him on and helping him pour oil everywhere.” “And you’re not, Miss ‘He is the only reason that I

EXTRA GRETEL Chapter 317: Knees

Gretel found that her prison was somehow even greyer and bleaker than what she had seen of the world just outside those sliding metal doors. The bed took up most of the space in the tiny room of her compartment, and she quickly noticed that was for a good reason too. The layout looked to be standard issue enough for almost anyone and everyone of any size and weight to sleep on comfortably if they crossed their arms over their chest and slept as if they were never going to wake up ever again. It took up the entirety of the width of the room, and, from where she was curled up on the floor against the door, there was only one scant inch worth of space left between her feet and the end of its metal, boxy frame. The bed itself was comprised of multiple layers of thin fabric that she could see would definitely not keep a person warm. Slowly, and on her still shaking legs, Gretel stood

Chapter 318: Cameras and Bombs

Emmet spent most of the day sat at the corner of the living room with a heap of catalogues that Lila had dropped by with at lunch time. She had smashed her fists into the front door so hard that it had been a minor miracle that the wood hadn’t been damaged, shoved all the books into Emmet’s face that she was going back to the café now, before running off again, giving Emmet barely a glance at her face. He still saw the trail of bandages that sailed behind her, wrapped around her neck and travelling below her shirt, and had moved to go towards her, his fears only assuaged when she had popped her head around the corner once more and had smiled at him. She flashed him what looked to be the old peace sign, before she had scampered off once more. If he hadn’t been in charge of keeping an eye on the oven, he would have followed her. Jasper had spent most of the day muttering to himself as he combed the house further for any other surveillance devices throug

EXTRA GRETEL Chapter 319: Box

Gretel laid down there on the boxy bed, staring up at the ceiling pointedly whilst thinking about nothing in particular. There was nothing but an expanse of dull, lifeless grey up there, the only light source being one tiny, probably halogen, bulb that also seemed to be producing grey light. It was almost impressive. Every now and again, Gretel bent her knees, testing whether she would still be in pain, or not, when she eventually had to stand up and go wherever she was directed by the guards. The door to the side did lead to bathroom, and she was at least glad for that, but the questions of cameras and microphones still remained. But what would actually happen if she found them? If, by chance, she had managed to discover the location and range of each of the listening and spying devices, she would have been still recorded finding them. It would maybe, probab

Chapter 320: Eyes and Knives

The knife that Lila had thrusted forward had been dropped almost immediately as her wrist was grabbed. A horrible snapping noise echoed through the office, as Lila lunged over the table to punch the man, on the opposite end, in the throat. She saw her own blown out pupils in the reflection of his widening eyes, and she watched him crumple to the floor, choking on air. As dispassionately as she could, Lila slowly and calmly walked around the table, keeping a distance of over twice of her own height away from Tweedle Dee. “I’m not going to do what you’re asking of me. I’m not going on a little adventure and becoming your spy. And I’m not coming back home to give you exactly what you want, because, if you’re going to send me over there, I’m going to kill someone,” she explained to him. If she was in any other situation, she would have crossed her arms over her chest as she looked down on him. She was beginning to feel the pain of her wris

EXTRA GRETEL: The Turnover Rate

A loud bang and a hiss woke Gretel up, her body startling as she was wrenched, without her consent, out of the land of dreams and darkness and back into the grey hellscape of the reality around her. Immediately, after deciding that she would've massively preferred to remain unconscious for the entirety of her duration in this place, she attempted to scramble up out of the pile of blankets that she had found herself in. Her legs tangled up in the sheets, her knees skid over the fabric, forcing her to fall face down onto the cold and hard floor. She laid there as she reached backwards with both her hands to try and free herself from the very, very welcoming grasp and hug of her new sleeping space, whilst balancing on her bruised and sore knees. Hissing in audible pain, she rolled over to lie on her back, before sitting up to actually see the mess that she had found herself in. With
