Conner nodded his approval. He was intimately acquainted with a particularly sadistic form of punishment, two centuries of it, and until it had ended the final death had seemed so enticing.
Not that the structure of the command he'd been given allowed for suicide.
"You may call us Leader" he gestured toward Jake "and Director." He indicated himself, staring directly at Mitchelletto with icy detachment. His posture was rigid, formal, but not tense. Brusquely, he stepped back and, at total odds with his body language, pulled out and lit a cigarette. Herbal scented smoke drifted up, not mixed with the pungent musk of tobacco. "I thought you might appreciate your cell not smelling like cigarettes," he told Jake around the herbal cigarette, puffing up a small cloud of rose-and-mint scented smoke. "Did you know they sell these in herbal?"
Directing his attention back to the captive Mitchelletto, he went stony again. "We'll begin with a list of all your victims in the city's jurisdiction area. Names if you have them, descriptions if you don't. You will comply with this, or I'll do this again. It's a remarkably efficient technique."
Clearing his mind, he gathered up the memories of pain and suffering, injury and torment that gibbered in a psychic cyclone of agonizing madness around the island of sanity in his mind and rammed it through Mitchelletto's shields like a battering ram directly into the vampire's psyche. As he made contact, he immediately began adding anything painful he could find in Mitchelleto's psyche that he could add to it, building on the spike of searing agony and fueling it with magic. After several seconds, he stopped.
"The list now."
