Chapter 8: Gina Zanetakos's Confession
The FBI black site was a concrete crypt, its walls damp with condensation, the air heavy with metal and fear. Peter sat across from Gina Zanetakos in a stark interrogation room, her dark eyes locked on his, her smile a razor's edge. The System, now Level 5, hummed with a new ability: Moment of Truth. Peter's skin prickled, secrets pressing down like a storm. Surface goal: expose Gina's motives. Emotional undertone: unease. Long-term arc: question the System's cost.
"You think you can break me, analyst?"
Gina's voice was low, mocking, her cuffed hands still.
"I don't need to break you. I need the truth."
Peter's tone was calm, his heart thundering.
He activated Moment of Truth, and the room blurred, Gina's thoughts flooding his mind—betrayal, a boardroom, blood on marble. A whisper echoed: They took everything. Peter gasped, clutching the table, the System flickering.
In a briefing earlier, Peter had decoded Gina's file, the System linking her to Tom.
"Gina's a weapon aimed at Tom's employers."
Peter had told Cooper, his voice steady.
"How do you know this stuff?"
Cooper's eyes narrowed, his tone sharp.
"Patterns, sir."
Peter deflected, his throat tight.
Now, Gina leaned forward, her voice a venomous purr.
"You're not like them. You see things. Know things."
Her words cut, her gaze piercing.
"Answer the questions, Gina."
Peter's voice hardened, her thoughts a low hum in his skull.
Liz watched from behind the one-way glass, her heart heavy. He's unraveling her, but it's costing him something. Reddington entered, his voice theatrical.
"Peter, you peel back deceit like a maestro. But truth carries a heavy price."
"Spare me, Red."
Peter snapped, his head throbbing.
In a tense moment, Peter used Obfuscate to hide a burner phone from Ressler's scrutiny.
Ressler joined later, his voice gruff but warmer.
"You cracked her, Wells. Didn't think you had it."
"Don't underestimate me."
Peter's smile was tight, Gina's whispers echoing: You'll break too.
Ressler noted Peter's strain, respect growing. He's tough, but he's fraying.
In a shadowed parking lot (new event), Liz confronted Peter, her voice earnest.
"You're carrying too much, Peter. Talk to me."
"I'm fine, Liz. Just… focus on the case."
His tone was clipped, Gina's voice lingering.
Alone in his apartment, Peter stared at the System's glow, Gina's voice a persistent shadow.
"What's this power doing to me?"
He whispered, hands trembling.
Gina's confession exposed a web of corporate terrorism, but the psychological toll left Peter questioning his sanity. Reddington's test of Liz and Tom's hidden role deepened the stakes, pushing Peter toward a darker edge.
