Suspects' Holding Cell

The vans drive for what seems like an hour before they come to a stop, and Peacekeepers blindfold and forcefully drag even the most cooperative suspects into a building.

The suspects are all held in one cell, a large, metal room with a thick door and a single ledge that serves as a bench. Bright fluorescent lights beam from overhead. There are no windows and no clocks, no sign of where they might be.

The Peacekeepers take off the blindfolds, though without much care for whether they come off all the way or chafe or stay slung around the suspects' necks. The suspects' hands are left cuffed behind their backs, and even the most ingenious of them won't be able to pick the lock on their restraints, but they're otherwise left to roam freely through the space.

Suspects are removed, one at a time, at unpredictable intervals, by Peacekeepers armed with tasers. Some take three hours to return, while others are back within only a minute. Each of them comes back having been clearly roughed up and pressed for information that they may or may not hold; some are bleeding or sporting the beginnings of black eyes.

They'll be sleeping here tonight.

"That's exactly the point," Mindy said. "It WAS something big, and they're going to start out by seeing if someone confesses. If they don't, well, they have ways of making you talk, if you get my drift."

She didn't like the idea, and even her own implications were disturbing, but they were easier to take once she said them aloud.

"What would be so big that they would put us through all this?" The only comparable thing he could conjure was a revolution, but he was certain everyone would have been arrested were that the case, not just a handful of Tributes.

"Dunno yet," Mindy admitted. "I could wager a guess though. Considering it was so quick that we were picked up and were put here, someone probably died in their side that isn't accounted for. Now they have to save face about it, because no way are we going to make them look like we caught them with their pants down."
