In a matter of seconds Jack was almost completely encased in synthetic caterpillar silk, save for his head and shoulders.
"All right, let's bring him down to the docks," instructed 24. "Maybe we can get some more information out of him."
21 grabbed a little tail of silk that hung off of their captive's foot and tugged it, toppling the man. "Or maybe just teach him a lesson about getting mouthy with the Monarch's posse."
Hauling their bags and dragging Jack behind them, they made their way out of public view. In a few minutes they were behind a warehouse by the piers, heaping verbal abuse on their captive as he hung upside-down from a light post.
"What's your name, maggot?"
"What is this place?"
"Have you seen any butterflies coming out of the sewers?"
"Talk, princess! Or I'll give you a foot-long pain sandwich with the works!"
"And a side order of cole slaw!"
"What?" asked 21.
"Sub shop cole slaw is totally gross," explained 24.
