Chapter 17 Ryonosuke's Escape! Enter Karen Murphy the Believer of the Supernatural?
Karen Murphy was in her office at the Chicago Police Department making reports for her superiors. Harry's dog Mouse was curled up in the corner sleeping when their peace got disturbed by the door bursting open.
An officer came in and said, "Sargeant, we arrested some strange people that were walking the city streets."
"And you came in to tell me this why?" she asked.
"Because one of them knows you."
"Knows me? Don't tell me." She said as she stood up. "Thanks!"
The officer left.
She was about to go to the door when Mouse lifted his head.
She scratched his ears and asked, "Want to come with me in case it's your idiot owner?"
He gave her a doggy grin after she finished.
"I guess that's a yes." She said.
Murphy hooked on his leash and they left the office.
Harry's and Stein's classes, along with Deathscythe, Lara, her sisters, Justine, and Thomas were in the boardroom right next to the interrogation room awaiting their turn to be questioned.
"Never thought we would get arrested once we got here." Maka said.
"Very not cool." Soul said.
"I think it's because of how Dr. Stein looks." Patty said.
"Patty don't say things about Dr. Stein like that!" Liz told her.
"Sorry!" she exclaimed.
"She does have a point. Those stitches all over him are disgusting and disgraceful!" Kid exclaimed.
"Don't forget the bolt!" Patty exclaimed.
"Enough of that, now that we're here we don't know what is going on with the Ishida brothers." Kana said.
"She has a point guys." Jiro said.
"Sorry!" Patty exclaimed.
"I have a feeling that Ryonosuke is being tortured or something since he's given up fear." Miaka said.
"Madrigal nor Kyo would go that far." Tsubaki said.
"I hope you're right." Kana said and sighed.
The door opened and they turned to look and see who came in. They saw a dog run over to Harry, Molly, and Thomas.
"A dog?" Black Star asked.
"How are ya boy? Has Murphy been treating you well?" Harry asked.
"What kind of question is that?" he heard and turned to see her.
"Hey there Murph! I knew you would come and confirm my innocence!" he exclaimed.
"The same as ever." Murphy said as she sighed and then looked at the others. "Who are all of these people? Why are there kids here? Did my ex husband want minors to be interrogated again?"
"I gve permission." Deathscythe said as he laughed nervously a bit.
"I guess I have to start from the beginning then." Harry said.
He told her the whole story starting from how he knew about the Ishida brothers and their encounter with the Wraithe twins. He then explained how he became an instructor at the DWMA in helping them out. He also finished with how the situation became to be.
"That is how we got here and got arrested and Bolt Head is being asked questions." Harry said.
"That is why he knew you would know him and be able to get us out of here Karen." Molly said.
"You do have a point and Bolt Head?" Murphy asked.
"Dr. Franken Stein, he has a bolt in his head that he turns time to time and he is our teacher." Maka explained.
"He's also sensitive of it." Chrona said.
"I guess I have to-" Murphy started to say when she saw Dr. Stein walk in turning his bolt. "Okay, convinced enough!"
"I swear the police force are idiots in this town, I should dissect that guy's brain for science to experiment with his stupidity." Dr. Stein said.
"So, what happened Bolt Head?" Harry asked.
"Like if I would tell you, so where's this contact Potter?" he asked.
"That would be me, Sargeant Karen Murphy, just wait here and let me see what I can do." Murphy answered.
"What did you tell her?" Dr. Stein asked.
"Everything." He answered.
"I hope this works." Dr. Stein said.
"It will when it comes to Murphy being around." Thomas said.
Meanwhile, Ryonosuke felt the darkness of the black blood that was coursing through him. He then heard the word "fear" through his head.
"Shut up! Shut up!" he yelled and he opened his eyes to see that he was cuffed to the bed still. He sighed. "At least I'm alive."
He noticed that the chain was rusty and smirked. He started to tug on it hard and it caused it to break. He got up and opened the window and saw that the main Wraithe chateau was nearby.
"At least it's the only place I know." He said and jumped out of the window and ran off.
After an hour, Murphy managed to have the police to let go of Harry and everyone by telling them that they were working on an important kidnapping case and they were released. They still gave Stein weird looks as they left.
"Good move." Harry said.
"How else can I get them to let you all go without mentioning that school, you got to remember that this city is not familiar with meisters nor magical weapons since the supernatural is fake to them." She said.
"What about the Carpenters and Wraithe's? They're weapons and meisters." Black Star asked.
"Chicago doesn't really know about that." Thomas answered.
"Never thought this town would not know about the world of meisters and demon weapons." Soul said.
"Since all of this is over, where to now?" Kid asked.
"Wait a minute." Lara said.
They saw a limo appear and the door opened and a driver came out and said, "Welcome home Lara, Natalia, Elisa, the chateau awaits."
"Whoa!" Patty exclaimed.
"Looks like we have to get a hotel then." Deathscythe said.
"No need for that, you all will be coming with us to the chateau." Elisa said.
"Really?" Tsubaki asked.
"Madeline's and Madrigal's home is near the main chateau for the Wraithe House and that is where we need to go in order to rescue the Ishidas." Jiro said.
"That sounds easy enough to me." Soul said.
"How are we-" Maka started and they saw another limo appear. "That answers my question."
They all got into the limousines and they were all driven to the chateau where they were taken care of. Then they heard the doorbell ring not soon after the arrival.
Thomas opened the door and they saw Ryonosuke with torn clothing.
"Ryo?" they all asked.
"How did you get here?" Miaka asked.
"I escaped." He answered as he walked inside.
"That easily?" Aria asked.
"Remember, Madrigal and Madeline aren't that smart especially in childproofing their place." He answered as he sat in a chair.
Dr. Stein noticed the needle scar in his arm and turned the bolt in suspicion.
"What is it Stein?" Deathscythe asked.
"I have a feeling that Ryonosuke hasn't fully escaped their clutches." He answered.
"You mean they did something to him?" Deathscythe asked.
He nodded and said, "I have a feeling that his insanity will start reacting soon."
