It starts, as so many things do for him, for want of a code.
Blume, however unfortunately, has gotten smart, these last few weeks. They're learning DedSec's MO, they're learning his, and it seems like they know better, now, to put anything that might give him access to their systems in arm's reach. They stop carrying their log in credentials on their phones, stop checking that remember me box on their computers, they stop sharing trade secrets over the phone, even, and move workstations to face away from the surveillance cameras in every room. They're doing it all the old fashioned way, now, by memory, and while that's annoying, it seems Blume underestimates his commitment to the cause.
It doesn't take him long to narrow it down to a short list of people who might have the code he needs. It even easier to narrow it down further, to who's the most convenient target, and he's waiting for one of Blume's code monkeys three nights later, in a dead zone along her daily after-work jogging route. He claps a hand over her mouth as he drags her, kicking and screaming, into the alley where he parked his car, and shoves a piece of duct tape over her mouth to keep her quiet before he shoves her into the trunk, neater than the fixers that came for Frewer, once upon a time, back in Chicago. Her phone gets turned off and tucked into his pocket, and then they're off, headed back towards the hackerspace he, Clara and Ray have claimed.
He's not worried about her seeing it. For all she'll know by the time they get there, it's just a house. It could be anywhere in the San Francisco or the outlying areas. He'll dump her somewhere far away, once he's done with her.
He throws her over his shoulder, when they get home, when he gets her out of the trunk, and beelines inside, hearing her nails catch on the walls as he carries her up the stairs and to his and Clara's bedroom. It doesn't slow him down any, and there's a chair already waiting, set up before he even left, at the foot of the bed for him to dump her into. When she tries to get up, he pulls out a gun and turns it on her.
"Don't," he orders, voice muffled by the mask he's had pulled up since he left for 'work.' "Sit down."
It's up to her how messy this ultimately gets.

When the car starts to slow, she gropes around the trunk for a weapon, but her captor has obviously thought ahead, and there's nothing there. She does what she can with her hands and feet when he opens the trunk and goes to grab her, but it's a futile effort. She tries to get her bearings as he carries her toward the house, but they're inside before she can see a house number or street name.
The inside of the house is a surprise, considering she would have expected him to be taking her to an empty house - maybe one on the market - or a seedy motel or even out to the middle of nowhere. This looks like a house someone is actually living in, though, and that brings up a whole new set of worries. Maybe he's already killed the people that live here and now he's going to kill her? Oh, God.
She fights more as he carries her inside, kicking and squirming and trying to get her hands on a door frame or banister or anything that might make him lose his grip on her, but he just continues on like he doesn't even notice. She immediately starts to stand as he puts her down, intending to head for the door - but then she sees the gun, and she sinks back down into the chair.
"What... what do you want? Please let me go," she begs shakily, eyes wide and dark, and she can feel tears gathering in her eyes. She knows very well who he is, after all, and she knows what he does to people.
no subject
Thankfully, he has a means of peeking beyond the facade without breaking it, and so, coolly, he tells her, "Yeah, maybe." Maybe he'll let her go. "Just give me Blume's new security code, and we can all go home and pretend this never happened."
no subject
She sniffs a little. "New security code?" she echoes, confused, still sounding more Californian than normal. "I don't know what you're talking about."
no subject
He steps up to her then, leaning down to put his face on level with hers. He lingers there a moment, studying her, then leans to catch her wrists, to hold her down as he leans past her. He shifts a little, to transfer her wrists to one hand and to reposition himself so she can't throw a knee to great effect, this close, and reaches for a length of rope on the bed. He pulls back, pulls her arms over her head, and holds up the rope so she can see where this is going before he gets started.
"Still time to change your mind, stop bullshitting me," he offers.
no subject
It's perfectly in character, really, but they only went so far in planning this. She's definitely curious what he has in mind. Whether or not he tells her is another matter, obviously.
no subject
And just in case she has any ideas, as he works, he puts his mouth near her ear and growls, "Move and you die."
no subject
She's definitely starting to struggle, hands moving a little - but she goes still as he speaks - and the little breath that catches in her throat isn't entirely part of the act, now, though it's definitely not a sound of fear.
no subject
Either way, he makes quick work of tying her wrists, the motion practiced over and over, these last couple weeks, building up to this. He straightens when he's done, then circles back around her, staring down at her for a moment, something behind his eyes at odds with how cold he seems, otherwise, and then he starts to kneel in front of her. He puts his hands on either knee, to hold her legs down, to keep her from kicking him, as he divest her of her shoes and, with the rest of the rope, starts to tie her legs to the chair, too.
His eyes dart up to her face several times as he works, and after a moment, he tells her, "Same deal."
She moves, and he'll kill her. As if it wasn't obvious.
no subject
Her eyes are still wide and dark, but it's not fear that has her pupils dilating, her quick breaths only half an act.
She nods quickly to his warning, swallowing hard as he secures her ankles. "Someone... my friends will be looking for me," she tries, this time.
no subject
They'll look, but they won't find her -- and never mind the fact that Ray is just downstairs in the basement, otherwise intentionally occupied. The threats seem to be doing it for her, though, so he'll keep at them. Her reactions are definitely doing it for him, and his looking up at her every so often is as much to maintain the illusion of being dangerous by staring at her from under his eyebrows as it is so he can watch her face. The smirk he's wearing under the mask is genuine, too, though it plays into all of this just as well as anything else.
Either way, again he makes quick, practiced work of her, and again, he stands when he's finished, looking her over again. After a beat, he reaches into his pocket, and pulls out a knife, flicking it open. He doesn't usually use a knife, at work, but his carrying one at all isn't out of place, he thinks. He doesn't think she'll think too hard about it, when he rests the point of it in the space between her collar bones, just below the top of her shitty t-shirt, seemingly gently and actually so all at once.
"The code," he repeats as he holds there.
no subject
Again, once he's finished, she dares to move, testing the rope and finding no give. She goes still when she hears the knife open, staring up at him, pulling her shoulders forward a little as she tries futilely to retreat from the weapon.
"I don't know any code!" she says more insistently, her voice still shaking. "I'm just... I just do basic code, I don't know anything, please, please let me go."
no subject
It's still up to her, whether or not he actually lets her go, and if she doesn't want to cooperate? Well, he can't be blamed for what follows -- which, in this case, is him catching her shirt on the tip of the knife, and pulling it away from her. He holds there for a handful of heartbeats, so that maybe, maybe she can clue in to where this is going, and then he takes part of her shirt in the other hand, to hold it steady as he starts cutting it open. The knife goes through like butter, though he has to make a few passes, bound as he is, to get it off her in entirety.
Pulling the remains of it free of her, he leans back in to repeat the process on the sports bra she's wearing, then rocks back, studying her. He doesn't bother to hide the hunger behind his eyes, as they dart from her face to her bare torso and back again.
no subject
Clara also slips a little when he steps back, not quite hiding a smirk of her own in response to the look in his eyes, and she presses her lips together for a moment to get back into character.
no subject
Regardless, he yanks the remains of her clothing out from under her roughly, the snaps the knife closed. He takes another long, lecherous look before he trades the knife for his baton, snapping it open with more force than he really has to, for the sake of the show. He rests the tip of it on her shoulder for a moment, then swings down and away, to touch it to her stomach. From there, he drags the thing up over her chest, between her breasts, and up to her chin, where he tips her head up to look at him.
"Feeling talkative yet?"
no subject
She lets herself flinch as he opens the baton, turning her head sharply to the side like she's bracing for him to hit her with it. She looks away from it when he touches it to her shoulder, pulling away from it as he touches it to her stomach - and there are more tears in her eyes when he forces her to look at him.
"I... I told you. I don't know what you want, they don't tell me anything." She takes a shuddering breath and whispers, "Please."
no subject
He steps up to her then, over her, legs on either side of the chair and her, and leans down to put his face near hers. "You're a shitty liar."
no subject
She gasps a little as he leans down, pulling away from him as much as she can. "I'm not lying! You're... you're... they call you the Vigilante, everyone at work talks about you, I know what you do to people, but I haven't hurt anyone, I just work for them, please, please, please," she all but babbles, trailing off and swallowing hard.
no subject
The torture is on, regardless, until he gets what he wants -- until she breaks and gives him the code to call him off or he does. He's really not sure who will outlast who, here, considering how hard he is, already. He's a little embarrassed, maybe, that he's enjoying this, for all that it reads like a porno, but he's absolutely enjoying it.
He pulls away just enough to get the baton between them, circling one of her breasts with the tip of it, watching her face for her reaction, that in mind. He's pretty sure, from all the begging, that she's into it, too.
no subject
There's also the fact that, while she has played the role of dom for people before, she's definitely a switch. It's nice to take a turn on the other side of the image she usually portrays.
She catches her breath as the baton touches her again, shivering a little, her nipple hardening as she tries to pull away from the touch, her bonds and the position of the chair stopping her from really getting anywhere.
no subject
no subject
She's not offering to tell him the code, though, so that should say something.
no subject
He pulls his hand away then, and as he starts to his knees between her legs, he continues, "If you're not gonna tell me what I wanna hear, I don't need you talking through this."

She moans softly, too, and there's definitely a little less distress in it than there really should be as far as keeping in character.
