After I told them my plan I saw shock on everyone's faces and I knew I said something outrageous. I mean I wasn't wrong. They both want time to be fixed as much as we do. The only reason I didn't just approach them head on is because I was afraid of what they could do to us. If I just ask 3 I can get my answer and decide whether or not we should go through with this. I told them and an argument started amongst the group. Little Me started by yelling "I don't even know what they do to us and it's not like 3 can't just lie to us he might say they're friendly and then they'll kill us on the spot." This is the first time I ever sensed The White Void. I saw Little Me get angry. Maybe she is getting more comfortable with us.
I responded "Fine will ask for the weakness first then afterwards will ask 3 if 1 and 12 are actually good people. I wasn't planning to go in without some sort of back up plan." Adam groaned at me and said "He could just lie about that to it's not like we can just test it ourselves." I immediately called out his bluff " You were the person who said to ask a question. I know you have a plan to test them, just stick to your plan. If it makes you guys feel better if we happen to have enough time we can ask for another one of the twelve instead."
The group finally started to calm down and just took some time to think. I think we finally came to an agreement. I took a deep breath and finally shared my thoughts "Can we all agree to this plan? Lure 3 captures him and asks these three questions. One If we were to approach 1 and 12 what would they do to us . Two what are 1 and 12 weakness and Three where are the other 12 and what weakness do they have." Adam immediately objected "You want us to ask about the approach first? I thought we agreed that finding the weaknesses is our first priority." I actually agree finding the weakness is our priory but I told him "If we asked what the weakness is first the chance of him lying to catch us off guard increases so that's why I decided to start off with that." Adam told me. "We have no clue what his time limit is. We shouldn't bet on having all three questions. I get what you're saying but even if they're friendly we're going to approach them anyway at one point might as well have the weakness in store." I thought about it for a bit and decided to agree to switching up the plan.
Next up was preparation. We needed loud instruments, a rope and a chair and I wanted to go back to the gun store just in case Little Me needed some sort of weapon and finally ear plugs. We needed to hear each other for sure but if 3 can be heard that across the world it might make us deaf. We went out and grabbed the thing we needed now we wait for tomorrow and initiate the plan.
Tomorrow hits and we find a perfect place to initiate the plan. an Apartment building each one of us takes a room right next to each other. It's perfect at a distance where we can hear each other scream at any given point and we can sneak up on 3 without him noticing. Time to start phase 1. We put in our ear plugs, counted down and started hitting our instruments as loud as we can. Even with the earbuds I could hear them loud and clear. I wasn't worried about my ears, this isn't loud enough to break them but I know if one of us screams or stops playing I would know. After a minute of playing I heard the room next to me stop playing and a scream. Little Me stopped playing and we did the same. I took off my ear plugs, grabbed the rope and left my room as quietly as possible. I headed outside and saw Adam already at the outside of the room. I went next to him and put up my hand showing three fingers. It was time for phase 2. I counted down with my fingers and we burst through the door and took 3 hostages and attached him to a chair.

Everything was going to plan, it was time for phase 3. I went up to him and started my questioning "I want you to tell us what weaknesses 12 and 1 have." He didn't reply. He just sat there in silence. I kicked his chair down and grabbed my knife and repeated "I want you to tell us what weaknesses 12 and 1 have." He stayed silent so I stabbed his arm. He screamed in pain and I put him back up and I asked again "I want you to tell us what weaknesses 12 and 1 have." Still nothing.
It was clear it wasn't working. I looked to the others and Adam stepped up and told us to cover our ears and hit one of the instruments. I could hear 3 screaming in pain, good thinking Adam there was a chance his hearing could even be enhanced considering he could hear that across the world. Adam asks him again "What weakness do 12 and 1 have?" He still said nothing.
This is bad I thought of the possibility of him just waiting for his time limit to be up but I thought we could torture him into talking. Now what do I do? just stab him again? Adam stabbed his stomach and went really deep into it and then pulled it out. He said to 3 "I'm a doctor and you probably don't need me to tell you this but that wound is a fetal I can heal you just tell us what we need to know. What are the weaknesses of 12 and 1." Even through all that they didn't speak. I went back up to 3 and decided to ask something different "If you don't want to talk about 12 and 1 fine but if you don't feel like getting stabbed again you can tell us about the other twelve." I thought this could work. 12 and 1 are practically royalty in this place. I thought he might have some weird sense of loyalty to them.
Even when I gave him the option to talk about something else he refused to speak. Unfortunately for him I'm a girl of my word so I stabbed him again. I didn't know if he was going to die but if he wasn't going to speak it might be better if he did. Adam goes up to him and says "This is your last chance if you don't want to die then I would start tal-." Just like that 3 vanished into thin air taking nothing with him the rope and chair were stained with blue blood and so were our knives.
This could be problematic. We just gave 3 a rough estimate of were we live and we didn't even get anything except that the 12 are extremely loyal to each other. The problem is what to do now: do we move out, do we stay, do we try to capture him again and kill him? I didn't really know what to do all I knew was this plan was a failure.
