"Well I guess your right Kakashi." Naruto said as he stared down at the screen that showed Uchiha Sasuke sitting in his jail cell.
"That doesn't prove anything" Ino snapped. "He could have gone back in there to trick us; he is a criminal you know."
"Let's not jump to any conclusions right Captain." Sakura said turning to face the snakey man.
"I may have to disagree with you Sakura but we won't know until we ask him now will we." the Captain hissed. "Kiba how's the door coming?"
The entrance to the cells was locked and they would have easily been able to get into the cell area except for the fact that they didn't have the code. If the guards had been around it would have been quick and easy but of course they were now where to be found and assumed to be dead.
Luckily the rookie Kiba was an expert when it came to hacking. If he weren't an officer he would most likely be thrown in jail by now.
"Give me a minute."
"Alright. Ino try and contact the train I want out of here as soon as possible." Orochimaru ordered. "Sakura see if you can find anything that can explain what's happened."
Sakura walked over to the desk next to Ino who was busy messing with the radio. There were about ten folders on it and it was very clear that the guards hadn't been very organized.
She open one of the folders and began searching for recent dates. It wasn't until she opened the third binder that she found some recent information.
"Captain I found it but it's not much." Sakura announced. "The only thing that was recorded was that the wind was up to six knots and there was one report of theft."
"Wait." Orochimaru said grabbing the folder from her. "Six knots? That's highly unusual for this area."
"So they had a wind storm I doubt that it was the cause for people being beheaded." Naruto frowned.
"Captain." Ino said her voice trembling a bit. "I can't contact the train." It was quiet clear that the rookie was starting to worry now but who wouldn't be. They were in a ghost town with dead bodies hanging in the Rec. Center.
"Keep trying." Ino nodded and returned to the radio.
"I've got it." Kiba exclaimed as the doors slid open.
"Kiba stay with Ino. The rest of you fallow me." Orochimaru said pulling out his gun. "Let's go see if any of these dirt bags know what's going on."
The squad fallowed their captain past many empty jail cells until the came across the one holding the hooker, thief, drunk and hobo.
"Hey what's going on out there we haven't had a meal in a whole day." the women snapped as they approached the cell.
The captain ignored the women and pulled and a note book. "Answer when I call your name. Akisha Herman."
"What!" The hooker said angrily.
"Just answer here."
"Fine."
"John Bitters."
"Here." Answered a raggedy looking man.
"Phil Scooters"
A man sitting in the corner looked up lazily and waved his hand.
"And who's the women on the bench?"
"We don't know." Akisha said. "She checked herself in last night and hasn't said a word."
"Well then wake her up sun shine." Naruto ordered. Akisha glared at him before nudging the sleeping women.
Instinctively the women grabbed the girls arm. "Hey, hey it's okay." The women looked up. "Some ones here to see you." The women released Akisha's arm and glared at her visitors.
"Who are you?" the captain asked.
"Whitlock." The women answered.
"What are you doing in here?"
"It's the only safe place here now can I go back to sleep?"
"No you can not I need answers."
"Fine. My name is Dr. Arleen Whitlock. I'm a spick –six officer in charge of the mining operation at Druckersridge. I left Druckersridge about a week ago in a weather balloon I built. There was disturbance in town that seemed prudent to get out."
"Yes there was some sort of riot the place was destroyed."
Yes something like that….I was adrift for several days…ran out of food and water. I decided to fallow the railroad tracks until I got here. The wind forced me lower, I hit a windmill and crash landed and they were kind enough to take me in here."
"Well wasn't that nice of them." Orochimaru frowned. "Sakura, Kakashi go check out Uchiha, see if he knows anything."
Sakura and Kakashi walked threw a maze of doors before they came across Uchiha Sasuke's cell. He still wasn't facing them and he didn't even turn around when the door opened.
"Uchiha do you know what is going on outside?" Sakura asked. He didn't answer. "Uchiha Sasuke are you awere of the current situation outside." She said more sternly. Once again he didn't answer. Sakura bit here lip in frustration. "Fine I guess this asshole doesn't know anything either." That got his attention. Sasuke turned around and eyed the young lieutenant. His dark eyes met her green eye and they glared at each other for a moment before she turns away. "Come on let's go Kakashi."
Kakashi closed and locked the door behind them before he started laughing.
"What is it Kakashi?"
"You've got a lot of guts calling Uchiha an asshole." he snickered. "I heard he took out six when they finally caught him."
"Ya Kakashi and this is eight inches." she frowned. "You men just love to exaggerate. It just goes with the territory."
"What are you saying Sakura?" Kakashi exclaimed.(ya I don't get it either)
"Just shut up."
Just as the turn into the room were Ino was calling for the train they came upon a strange situation.
Sorry people I know it was short and I left you on a cliff but hey………wait sorry I have no excuse.
Sasuke: You called me an asshole --
Sakura: Well you wouldn't answer
Sasuke: You didn't give me enough time!
Sakura: God you're such a baby it wasn't that hard of a question.
Kakashi: Isn't luv grand.
Sakura and Sasuke: What the hell!!
