The man and his Hypno lead Jenny and Meowth deeper into the city, easily passing by the seemingly uncaring citizens on the street. They then ducked into a snaking series back alleys, which seemed to recieve no light or heat from the midday sun. After many turns and backtracking, most likely to confuse the kidnapped about their wearabouts, they came to a long, low building with a flat roof. Only one of the few windows on the building was undamaged - the rest were either cracked or broken, and when the unmarred window was too grimy to see effectively through. Even with the sorry state of the windows, all were shielded with dingy grey curtains, surpringly thick from their perspective. They came to the thick wooden door of the establishment, the man stopping at it an knocking swiftly seven times. An eyeslot opened up, occupied by two dark brown eyes which looked rather haggard. The eyes seemed to brighten up after seeing the man and Hypno, but glanced down at Jenny, scrutinizing her.
"Who is the girl?" The voice was female, although she spoke in a low tone.
"Daughter of some of our old friends." The man replied, his already low voice speaking softly. After relaying this information, the eyeslot closed, and the sounds of locks beig undone could be faintly heard. The door creaked open enough for the four to slip in, yellow light pouring into the darkness. The door closed and re-locked after they were inside.
Hypno released its hold on Jenny as Meowth rose to his back legs, stetching a bit before wandering around the small room. The room itself was concrete, with grey floors, walls, and ceiling. Curtains on the solitary window were the only wall adornment, darker than the walls. An old dark red couch, scratched coffee table, a rabbit-eared tv on an end table on the other side of the room facing the couch, and an old worn-out coat rack were the only furniture, adding to the suffocatingly gloomy atmosphere.
"Sit down." The woman who addressed her was tall, with long light brown hair and the dark brown eyes she had seen earlier. She wore a dark blue tank top that clung to her curved form, khaki shorts that almost reached her knees, and dusty black hiking boots, which was the dirtiest thing on her. Jenny thought she looked about twenty-two, and later on she could be proven right. As Jenny quietly obeyed the woman, the man took off his hat and coat, and Jenny hoped he was someone she knew, or at least heard of, so that she could get some answers. He wasn't, but seemed the same age as the woman. His hair was also brown, but darker and more reddish. The overcoat had been concealing a dark green vest over a green t-shirt, dark blue jeans, and worn dark blue tennis shoes. Instead of following the woman into another thick doornear the tv, he leaned against the wall and returned Hypno. Jenny noted that the pokeball had a sticker on it.
Meowth spoke up, now standing opposite the man. "Haven't seen you all in a while. The law on your tail again?" He snickered as the man sighed. Jenny cast a startled glance at Meowth, her confusion growing by the minute.
"Just on me. The others are clean, as far as I know." The man replied, crossing his arms and looking at the ceiling. Jenny was about to ask what was going on, mainly to Meowth because she still didn't trust this odd man who apparently knew her companion, when the woman re-entered.
"Meowth, kid, you two can come in." The woman nodded at each in turn, Meowth motioning to Jenny as he headed for the open door. She hesitated, then rose and followed, hoping he knew what he was doing. The man and woman entered afterward, closing the door behind them.
