Chapter 28 – Pain

Alice let out a shriek that was cut short when 002 kicked out the bar. Cut short because she had passed out, again, from the pain. The redhead winced at that, before trying to find a way to struggle into her cell. The sound of the prison being thrown open resounded through and one of the guards leveled that odd gun at 002's back before pulling the trigger.

The redhead had a slight seizure before falling, one hand in Alice's cell. The guards quickly rushed in and dragged him back, before adding a cuff to his other ankle, shortening his chain by connecting the two shackles together. They probably wanted to bind his hands behind his back as well, but they didn't have enough shackles.

At least, that was what 005 had hoped.

He watched, not really able to do much. Alice was unconscious and another electric shock would not do her any good. He wasn't even sure if the shock was coming from the shackle around her neck. If so, they could possibly give her brain damage, unless there was something else in the shackle.

Such as, there was a minor electroshock, but it also gave her a sedative to make it seem like it was enough to knock her unconscious. That was a possibility, but 005 was not willing to risk Alice's life to escape.

He settled into meditation, hearing them open his cell. He opened his eyes to look at them, before settling more within himself. He had a feeling he was about to be shot with one of those guns from before. That surge of pain and 005 knew he was right.

Alice was the first to awaken, and she glared at the unconscious Jet. Of course. She had told him it was a bad idea, but he had insisted. He said that they wouldn't have situated the inside bars to be like that! She rolled her eyes and cautiously looked around. Ah. It seemed they were all on shorter leashes now.

"So not fair I'm the only one electrocuted when they do this," she muttered, before resisting the urge to rub at her neck.

It itched, which meant that she was probably getting her skin rubbed raw. Oh, she was so not going to be happy with this. She rolled her shoulders and shook her head a bit before she carefully pulled out her music box, hunching over as much as she could. Her legs were also hurting, as well as itching, so she supposed that they were healing as well.

'Note to self; never attack those guys again. They'll make sure you can't next time,' she thought grouchily.

"I could have told you that."

'Ivan! Oh, yay. So, that split up plan? Wasn't such a good idea. Jet, G-Junior, and I are all imprisoned.'

"We know. G-Junior has a tracer on him. We were able to pick up the coordinates. Just hold on. Is there anything you can tell us?"

Alice carefully crafted images of what she remembered from her trip down, which she would admit was not great because she had been in a haze of pain at the time. She hadn't thought twice about doing it, and then showed the cells. "Well, at least these are smarter then the last ones."

Alice snorted, hiding her music box again. 'Not entirely, but yes. Jet still tried to break out twice, but G-Junior has never tried it. I think he's also worried he'll break my neck.'

"I agree. Just hang on! We're coming, I promise, Alice."

'That actually is comforting.'

There was no answer, so Alice figured they were finished for the moment. She settled for glaring at Jet until he woke up. This was all his fault, and she was going to enjoy saying, 'I told you so.'

Hopefully, she could still talk in which to say it.
