(Ezio)

Not gonna lie. I could shit a brick right now. I was hooked to some kind of thing that was gonna scewer me like I'm a fucking vegetable kabob. I stood from my chair then heard a rip noise followed by a fast ticking noise and I automatically knew that I did something bad.

Dear Dios, I started the timer!

I began to thrash around the room, trying to magically rip the device from must neck, but I knew that he gave me the answer. I JUST COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT! "Take a hard look at yourself and you will see the answer." The hell could it mean.

1 minute 45 seconds

I guessed the time I had left until the mask inclosed me in my needle head tomb. "Ow!" I screamed as my right eye burnt. "Dios, it feels like something's…" I stopped.dead in my tracks. I knew where the key was.

1 minute 30 seconds

"My eye?" I said shocked under my breath. "HOW THE HELL AM I GONNA GET IT OUT!" I screamed as I spotted a scalpel that was lightly stained in blood. I formed an invisible finger trick and picked up the tool that would save my life. "Here goes… well… everything. " I said preparing to mutilate my eye.

1 minute 15 seconds

"I can't do it!" I said pussying out. Then, I remembered what the creepy puppet thing said. "If you refuse to play my game, your wife and son will pay the price." He had Spitfire and Lightning Boon somewhere and if I don't play or die in this sickos game, they were going to die as well.

1 minute

I held the scalpel back up to my eye and aimed for the bags (or whatever you call the lower part of your eye socket) and began to push my hoof into it's corner. I let out a small yelp of pain and noticed that if I go at this pace I would be dead. So, with time definitely not on side,

I cocked my hoof back, and jammed the scalpel to feel warm wet blood drip from the entry wound.

45 seconds

I screamed in a tone that was higher than pure agony. I was halfway done with my self mutilation as the vision in my right eye ceased
30 seconds

You know that pop sound that cartoon characters make when their eyes pop out, well this wasn't a cartoon. My eye fell on the floor and looked backed at me with my crimson pupil masked by blood. The blood from my now empty eye socket spewed like sprinkler.

15 seconds

The key fell from my eye as it was soaked in blood. I picked it up and frantically stumbled to find the lock.

10 seconds

"Where is it? I screamed the top of my lungs.

3 seconds

"WHERE…

2 seconds
IS…

1 second

IT!

SNAP

"Dear Celestia." I was shocked. Ezio was his current player. Anger nor pure rage combined could say how mad I am.

"Enjoying the video. It's live you know." He let out a raspy evil laugh. I wanted to go in that room and strangle him until his head pops off.

"You bastard. Where is he!?" I held him high in the air from the collar of his robe. I just wanted to buck kick that grin on his face.

"Now now detective. I can tell what you're thinking and I can tell you this, I made that video feed untracable. Only me and me alone know his location. You can kill me and you will never see Ezio again. Unless…"

"Unless? Unless what?" I said with demand.

"Unless you do me a favor."

"I'm not going to kill anypony so you can forget it Kramer!"

"First off a despise killing and hate killers, second, it won't be that. I want to play a game. If you can talk to me until the digital clock runs to zero, I will give you the location that the video is coming from. If you fail, Ezio will die. Do you understand?"

I did. Every word actually, but what choice did I have. Ezio is like a brother to me and has a wife and foal like me. I would hate to be the reason I would have to tell them that I am the reason Ezio won't come home. "Okay, whatever you want." I put him down as his grin only grew larger.

"Then detective Valtoez, let our game begin." He said as screams came from the computer monitor.
