Jackal had watched, arms folded, as the patient lay supine on the bed. The doctor had been paralysed from the waist down, the victim of some kind of collapse of a building or cave-in. The details didn't matter now. Tanuki had been sent to his newest cadet, delivering a note that he should remain on standby, for the Hokage had permitted the doctor's interrogation, in order to get to the bottom of the origin of the sleepy blight afflicting Konoha. Transporting the man hadn't been a challenge; transporting him humanely certainly had been. Jackal had but to sling the man over his shoulder, as he groaned in pain from the stimulation of his mangled legs, and as quickly as he had come, Jackal had vanished. Viper was due to arrive shortly. In the meantime, preparation had to be made, and Jackal was confident his agent was well-prepared for what he was about to have to do, given he had passed his exam under precisely these conditions.
"Right, then," grunted Jackal as he looked down at his handiwork in the bare, barren interrogation room. The man was still heavily sedated, but now laying down tranversely across a table, not unlike an operating bed with a single light dangling above him. His upper body was strapped up, enough so that he could struggle and wriggle, but not slip free. There was no need to restrain his legs.
"Viper received the orders?" Jackal asked Tanuki, who was his exact body double, except for the fact that he seemingly couldn't speak. He gave a growling grunt of assent.
"I'll brief him when he gets here. If he does this right, we could have a lot of useful intel for Lord Hokage. If he fucks it up, well..."
Slowly, the bedbound man began to stir feebly awake.
