Frankenstein stood up.
"Easier to show you."
Iyisha looked at the door, then back at him. The door opened automatically with a soft hiss. She stayed still for a second before following him out.
The two soldiers moved behind her immediately.
"Where's my sister?" she asked.
"One thing at a time."
"No." Iyisha stopped walking. "I won't follow you until you tell me. Where is Cena?"
The soldiers stopped behind her. Frankenstein kept walking for two more steps before he paused. He turned his head slightly, not enough to fully face her.
"You are alive because I allowed it," he said.
Iyisha's jaw tightened.
"You are walking freely because I allowed it. You are asking questions because I allowed it." He turned around then, his face calm behind the glasses. "Do not mistake that for control."
Her hands curled at her sides.
