Strangely, the maid of the interrogation room "Sally Briston" became the object of his desires, as strong as the rage he has for the insurgent rebels. She was ordinary and nothing special... Perhaps it was simply the smell of blood on her that excited him.
The interrogation didn't take long.
He realized it as soon as he heard her name come out from the rebel spy's lips. He no longer needed to suppress his violent desires.
"I stopped myself from tormenting her because I thought she was a good girl, but now there's no need for that. Thank you, Sally. No... Grace."
