Disclamer: Characters aren't mine-! Most are ALTUS'! (Yeah, completely failed in taking over the company...)
This is my first, so expect improvement as I go.
"If I die... then who shall bear my sins..?
If I live... then who will I continue to hurt..?"
-?
2 Years has passed since the Rosalia incident...
Though...nothing has changed much.
Cell Number CR-SO1
"Open up."
"Y-yes sir!" The guards stumbled to the switch that opened the chamber. Eventually the hatch was released. The unlocked doors finally gave way allowing detective Ian Holden to go in.
"Prisoner number CR-SO1... Get out." He announced in his usual 'job' tone, he was actually relieved from the news. "You've been bailed."
"!...What..?" The prisoner's crimson eyes showed hesitation and disbelief. He still had over a hundred years left in his sentence- that would mean almost hundred thousands of dollars, but there was also the fact that there was no other suspect, so he couldn't simply get bailed.
The detective turned around. "You heard me. Now, are you going or not?" Usually prisoners jump to their feet when they hear this.
…
The guards that knew of the prisoner's innocence very well also couldn't believe their ears. But from their point of view, this man might not want to leave... "I guess...he-"
"Apparently the one who bailed you wants to take you to Resurgam. Perhaps you want to save more lives there rather than rot here." Ian's motivation was always in an insulting way.
"!...Resurgam...Who was it..?" The young male stood up. It has been a long time since he heard the name. The doctors there were busy from the new renovations and patients to visit lately.
Holden glanced back. "She's outside." He didn't give a name.
The prisoner was running a list of possible people. "(The paramedic..? Or was it the endoscopic surgeon..?...No...none of the doctors could afford-)"
"I don't recognize her from Resurgam...but she's one wealthy kid..." The detective had a slight hint of jealousy in his words. "This way."
"...(Sounds...adolescent...)" The prisoner followed the detective slowly into the dim hallway.
Prison Entrance
"There." Ian took off the prisoner's handcuffs. "Now, get going."
The young male was still wondering if he was dreaming or not. The feeling of freedom was great, but there was concern left in him.
"Better thank the kid over there... Later." The detective left with no other advice.
A girl much shorter than him walked over; the former prisoner was slightly surprised to see that his 'savior' was so young. Still, his expressionless face didn't change. "(...Silver hair...red eyes...uncommon at a young age...)" He thought.
His description was half of what the girl really looked like- her silk hair was long enough to reach her knees, she had long tails of hair coming from both sides in the front that were held by yellow bands. Her skin was pale, making her ruby eyes stand out. The clothes she was wearing was elegant- with brown and white layered top and a red ribbon, and a pure snow-colored skirt."Took you long enough... Come on, I'll drive you to Resurgam...Friends are waiting..."She turned and began walking toward the exit.
"Have we... met before?" CR-SO1 saw this person looked quite similar to someone he knew...
The girl stopped walking and replied. "Not that I recall...My name is Alicia. We can converse in the car."
…
"Aren't you going to ask anything? You look..." Alicia's eyes were fixed on the road as she spoke. "Confused."
"...(Did I hear this name before..?) Aren't you...too young to drive..?" The surgeon pointed out how different their height is.
The girl's expression changed from calm to slightly worried. "I'm currently... eighteen...!" She almost blushed at the fact. "Don't worry about it...I wasn't offended...the same thing happened at the prison..." She grew a bit embarrassed having three different people ask this in an entire day.
"...I see." CR-SO1 felt that he should stop questioning the girl,; he himself need answers, but they could be found out later.
Resurgam First Care Lobby
"Tomoe, Hank! We all ready yet?" An orange and green jacketed paramedic shouted out to an endoscopic and orthopedic surgeon.
"Dr. Torres... Isn't this a little...far?" A young Japanese woman asked. She was a bit uncomfortable by the extreme measures that Maria was taking.
"Come on, Tomoe... isn't welcoming friends an 'honorable thing?'" Maria began using Dr. Tachibana's path of honor against her.
"Well, yes...but-" Tomoe was interrupted by the other surgeon.
A tall, orthopedic surgeon walked to her side. "Wouldn't a simple 'hello' or 'welcome back' do just fine?" Dr. Freebird was also not at ease with the huge arrangement of the lobby. There were balloons and some ribbons in the air- the previous golden room has become a atmosphere containing all six colors.
Another girl-a former patient of the orthopedic surgeon walked by. "Hank, what's happening here?" She felt out of place wearing a black dress.
"Claire!...What brings you here?" Hank was surprised by his friend's arrival- Claire only came on certain days.
Miss Blunt shrugged. "Came to drop some leftovers..."The girl handed off a basket to Hank. "Nice decorations." She exited the building shortly to give the doctors more space.
"Sweet. We can take a break. They won't be here in a while anyway." Maria got off her ladder; she and Tomoe followed Hank to his office for a temporary rest from the preparations.
Dr. Cunningham's Office
"Checkmate. You have lost, Doctor."
"...You never cease to amaze me, RONI..." A green-haired, lazy diagnostician leaned back in his chair.
"This makes a hundred and forty-seven wins out of a hundred and forty-seven games."
"Isn't there a easy setting anywhere?" He was dying for a fair game with the computer.
"No such thing exists in my current programing."
" Tch." Looks like that number will continue to rise. "Worth asking... So...anything happenin' out there?" The diagnostician needed to let out some steam after drinking too much caffeine.
"...It seems that Dr. Torres, Dr. Tachibana, and Dr. Freebird are preparing a party in the main lobby."
"!... Oh yeah... the specialist's comin' back..." Gabriel got up and lit another cigarette. "I guess I better go greet the kid."
Dr. Kimishima's House
A little girl ran up to a silver-haired woman. "Hey, Naomi! I'm bored... is there anything special today?"
The woman thought for a moment. "...!...Yes. I heard that someone-no -the one who saved both of us...is coming back to Resurgam..." She then knew what Alyssa was going to say next.
" I bet there's going to be a party!" The girl jumped for joy. "Can we go?" Young Alyssa loved reunions, even if she didn't know the people in them, but she knows the docs at Resurgam.
"Alright, Alyssa, be on your best behavior..." The woman sighed- the child did have good grades lately...
"Yay-!" The child ran up to her room to get ready.
Naomi then realized how important it will be to attend. This surgeon saved both of their lives- and she had yet to show gratitude. "(I must thank him.)" She went to the phone to inform the Chief at C.I.F.M. that she would be out for today.
