The night had been long. Excruciatingly so.
The skirmish between Sunagakure and Iwagakure had raged on throughout the night, all the way into the early morning. However, it was finally over. The victor was still left unclear, considering the loss of life, but it was over.
Bass had managed to secure the prisoner he'd handed off to one of the many Iwa-nin filtering throughout the sandy streets, hauling her off to a undisclosed location outside of the mountainous gates surrounding Sunagakure. He didn't go too far, not wanting to lose his way, but just enough so that if he decided to let her go, the chances for survival wouldn't be high.
She was already in bad shape. Escaping in this condition, combined with the heat (and other factors like thirst and hunger), wouldn't be her best option.
Tucked beneath the awkward arch of a large stone (roughly thirty meters high), Bass placed the restrained girl down against the earth. She was bound at the wrists and ankles, the first of which were secured tightly behind her back. She'd been stripped of all her weapons and belongings, left with only the singed and ripped attire that still managed to cling to her body. In all honesty, she was practically naked, which probably wasn't a bad thing considering the heat.
Even in the shade, the atmosphere was scorching.
"Wake up," he ordered while nudging the girl's bare abdomens with his foot. "I got some question I be needin' answers to." Once she was conscious, he'd allow her to soak in her surroundings so that she better understood her situation.
"We be miles away from ya pretty lil' village, so ya be dead if ya try and run. Tha heat'll kill ya before ya even get a mile out." Kneeling down before her, no more than two meters away, Bass tilted his head. "So, if ya try 'n run, you'll be dead fo' sure. Now, if ya play nice and answer my questions, I might even give ya a drink befo' I leave."
His eyes narrowed. "We got a deal, hm?"
