Alice was at the Warden's door the next morning, unshaven, but with the customary lipstick and sunglasses. She didn't bother knocking and came right into the bedroom.
"Sir, it's five AM. Time to get to work," she said gruffly, before turning and slamming the door shut behind her.
Jared's wake up call was far less polite. "You have math to do. Or some shit," Alice said, via an inmate let loose in Jared's bedroom.
Jared recognized the inmate immediately. "Jailbot! Warden! Help!" he squeaked, even though he knew no one could hear him. Jackknife laughed and shoved Jared out of the way before jumping out his window, falling five stories before a pterodactyl picked him up and whisked him away from Superjail.
Jared sighed. Warden would probably want to spend another trillion or so dollars upgrading Jailbot's camouflage drives to hunt the inmate down.
Jared begrudgingly got dressed, pulling on his brown suit, rubbing his face before setting a pair of black glasses high on his nose. He left his room with some semblance of dignity, glared at Alice as he passed her, and locked himself in his office.
Warden had gotten himself dressed, still feeling odd. He was back in Superjail and he had expected things to be different, but it still didn't feel as right as it should. He sighed, grabbed his cane, and walked out. He needed to get Jailbot fixed if what Jared said was true...and fix that dimensional portal problem. "Where the hell could that be?" he muttered to himself, thinking about asking Jared - but they hadn't exactly left on a good note.
Alice, then!
He found her after a few minutes of searching and caught up. "Alice! You look stunning, by the way," he added quickly, smiling. "Jared said something about a dimensional rift that needs to be fixed. Where might that be?"
"It's all over the place," Alice said flatly, wrestling an inmate. She broke his neck before wiping sweat from her forehead, standing. She looked down at Warden silently, either done talking or expecting him to move.
She finally groaned and pushed Warden out of the way, going through the door behind him.
The Twins were watching this on their screens. They could see the rifts, the pockets of dimensions ripping inmates apart and leaving others retarded and drooling.
They laughed. "This should be most interesting," one said. "Most interesting indeed," the other agreed. They twined their fingers and started smashing buttons on the huge panel before them, ripping apart the pockets and releasing monsters into Superjail.
Jared was furiously working away at a bottle of whiskey before he heard the commotion outside, screams of peril and the like. He sighed, wondering if Jailbot got loose. He stumbled to his office door and looked up. "What the fuck!" A huge screaming tentacle picked him up and ripped him in half like he was nothing.
The Twins frowned. "Oops." They quickly regenerated another Jared and locked him in his office, protecting him from the monsters outside.
"What the fuck is going on!" Jared squeaked, running to his window, watching all sorts of huge and tiny terrible beasts rampage through the yard, tearing apart inmates like dandelions.
"Alice wai-" too late, the door was slammed. He frowned, crossing his arms before he really looked around the place. He stepped over the dead inmate and stared up at the chaos happening in the ceiling. "People really need to learn not to take me out of Superjail," he muttered before letting out a yelp when something huge and deformed fell in front of him. It looked ready to pounce...or something. "Oh god, I gotta find Jailbot!" He ran from it, holding onto his hat while the thing chased after him.
He felt around in his jacket for some kind of beeper, finding it and turning it on. "Come on, Jailbot, you have to hear this," he prayed, finding himself in a dead end. "Fuck." Warden turned around, cane in hand defensively. He was not a fighter. He made Jailbot for a reason. He was too weak by himself. "All right, you freak of nature...let's end this." That didn't sound as threatening out loud than it did in his head - a shaky voice didn't help his confidence. The mutated monster roared, spitting gunk at him. "Euugh, gross! At least keep me clean when you kill me!"
Jailbot burst through the ground, picking the beast up and tossing it away, sending out it's tentacles to pick up Warden for an awkward, squishy robot hug. ":)"
Jailbot snuggled for a second before putting Warden down and going after the rest of the creatures, beating or killing each one. Alice reappeared at some point, grabbing Warden. "You should really close the rift," she said, their faces so close together it could have meant anything, but she dropped him before the temptation grew. She then had herself waist deep in a monster, ripping it apart with her bare hands before she looked up, glasses reflecting light, shining in Jared's eyes.
Jared banged on the window. "I'd help if I could!" he yelled at the glass, but Alice couldn't hear, and she continued devastating the monsters around her.
Jared groaned and brought his chair up to the window, watching the carnage, elbow on the sill, chin in his hands. "How can I compete with that?" he asked himself.
"R-right," Warden cleared his throat, glad Alice had dropped him before she could see his blush. Pulling himself together, he held up his cane again, turning the tip into a large hand as it reached up to a part of the rift in that area, pulling it shut as it sealed over. "One area down," he said triumphantly.
But Superjail was huge. How many were there? "This...is going to take all day," he sighed. "Jailbot! I need a ride!" he called, waving him over. "Take me to all those spots so I can fix this damned mess." Warden could feel most of his magic returning, along with his confidence. He still wondered, however, where The Twins were...or if they had anything to do with it. He had a strong feeling they did. But that was another thing to deal with. Right now he had this to finish. On top of Jailbot, Warden set off to fix the chaos erupting throughout Superjail.
