Najiima gracefully prepared a bed for him, and discreetly tried to place it as close to her own as possible. Just so that she was able to watch him from where she was sleeping. That would indeed give her pleasant dreams. Far more better than those nightmares she used to have...

Khemri was thrown to the hard stone floor. His face was bruised and battered. He spat out some blood.

"Where is the girl, Khajiit?!" growled a voice from within the darkness of the cell. "You promised to deliver her to us three years ago. You failed and here you are. But you don't have to remain here, you know?"

"Fuck you", muttered Khemri through his swollen lips and rolled over on his back. "This one didn't find her. This one doesn't want to find her. Not for the sake of you people. Najiima is worth more than the very lot of you."

The voice within the room sighed. "Look, you can end this right now. Instead of aborting mission, like you did last time, you can agree to go look for her again and be rid off all this pain. You are suffering for nothing, I can see that."

Khemri groaned, but said nothing.

"You know that your former crewmembers are already on the loose, don't you?"

Khemri shot open his eyes. "What?"

"That's right. They have all been released. That scrawny bastard Rags, that arrogant bitch Fleabite, and that primitive knuckle-dragger Scum. They have all been set loose. They bring Najiima back to us, and they will have their freedom. No strings attached."

Khemri slowly worked his way up in a sitting position. "And... how do you know they won't betray you?"

"We are having them watched", replied the voice sternly. "They are to be killed on sight if they as much as interact with Najiima by telling her of how we are coming for her. We aren't fools. We know how loyal you are to one another. You can have your freedom as well. All we want is Najiima. The rest of you are irrelevant to our cause."

The black Khajiit drew a heavy sigh and looked into the stone floor. "You... you are going to hurt her, no?"

"That depends."

"Depends on what?"

"On whether she will resist our advances. If she refuses to co-operate with us, we will have her hanged, like we tried to do once." A pair of steady boots knocked Khemri over. "Thanks for letting her escape that day, by the way."

Khemri grunted in pain and slightly chuckled. "You are welcome, asshole."

"But now we are giving you a chance for redemption. Don't you think that it is necessary that you both must die? Or all of you? For the sake of one woman? Just bring her in to us. And we will let you and the rest of your stinking lot loose for good. We will even wipe out any evidence of our interactions with you and you can consider your criminal records to be erased."

Khemri gave the idea som thought. He didn't like this secret organisation the least. They reminded him of... the old days...

"Send this one back to Daggerfall then... That's where her traces stopped."
