The Next Morning..., 7:34AM, Cascade Terrace, Seacrest Park, Night Elston Region. It's The Morning Now, And The Sun Has Finally Risen Back To The Surface, And As Quinn Feels The Sunlight On Her Face, She Slowly Opens Her Eyes And Looks Out The Window And Gazes At The Sunrise For A Few Minutes Before She Gets Up From The Bed In One Of The Guest Bedrooms And Stretches Before Walking Out The Door, And Walking Downstairs And Finds It Completely Silent And Upon Reaching Downstairs Finds The Living Room And Kitchen Completely Empty.
Quinn: Has No One Awoken Yet?. And Quinn Spends The Next 30 Minutes Just Waiting Around, Making Her Own Breakfast And Eating, And Continues To Sit On The Couch For A Little While, And Still, No One Comes Down, And After Those 30 Minutes, Quinn Decides On Going On A Walk And Goes Back Up To Her Room And Gets Dressed In A White Shirt And Jacket, Along With Brown Sweat Pants And Black Shoes, And Straightens Out Her Hair For Good Measure, Before Heading Out.
15 Minutes Later..., 8:56AM. Quinn After Walking For So Long, Finally Realizes Just How Far She Walked Through Cascade Terrace, She's Almost At The Police Lodge, And So, She Takes A Second To Stop And Look At The Sky Before Heading Back, Until...
???: Um, Excuse Me. Quinn Hears A Voice Behind Her, And Turns Around To See A Trio Standing Behind Her, A Woman Wearing Eye Glasses And Two Men, All Three Are Dressed In Black Closed Jackets, Black Pants, Black Fingerless Gloves And Black Boots, It Was The Woman That Called Her.
Quinn: Uh, Yes?.
Glasses Woman: I'm Sorry To Bother You, But Could I Please See Your ID?.
Quinn: Huh?, Who Are You?, And What For?.
Glasses Woman: You Match The Description Of A Perp That Was Involved In Illegal Activity Last Night. This Revelation Caught Quinn Off Guard, These People Come Up To Her, Ask For Her ID, Refuse To Identify Themselves, And Then Call Her Out On Her Speedhunter Activities The Previous Night, And That's When She Notices A Slight Familiarity About The Woman's Voice And Also A Few Patched-Up Scratches On Her Head And Face.
Glasses Woman: Not Only That, But The Car That The Perp Was Seen In Was Also Spotted Around This Area, So I Would Like To Ask You A Few Questions.
Quinn: Er, Sorry, But I Just Got Here, I Wasn't Exactly Looking Out For Anyone Suspicious Or Anything, I Hope You Find Who Your Looking For. Quinn Moves To Turn, Only To Find Another Woman That Is A Little Short And Dressed The Same Way As The Trio, Looking At Her With A Glare And Doesn't Even Begin To Walk Upon Spotting Here.
Glaring Woman: We Can't Make Exceptions For Non-Long-Term Lurkers, That's Sets A Bad Example For The Other Citizens, To Think They Can Get Away Just For That.
Quinn: (Thoughts) Bad Example?.
Glasses Woman: You See, The Perp Was Driving A Heavily Modified Light Blue Aston Martin DB11 Volante, And Committed Several Offenses During The Previous Night, Property Damage, Driving Off-Road, Extreme Speeding, Hit And Run, Ramming A Federal Vehicle, Reckless Driving, Resisting Arrest, Speeding, Street Racing, Disabling Federal Vehicles, Reckless Endangerment, Trespassing, And Caused An Expense Of Over 300,000 Tempes Throughout The Entire Ordeal, And As I Said, You Match The Description Of That Dirtbag We're Looking For. Quinn Immediately Gets Ticked Off At The Name "Dirtbag" And Immediately Gets In The Glasses Womans Face.
Quinn: Hah!?, Dirtbag!?, What Kind Of Crap Name Is That!?, Commiting Illegal Activity Doesn't Make Anyone A Stray!. And The Glasses Woman Doesn't Say Anything More, As She Clearly Didn't Expect Quinn To Start Yelling At Her And The Shorter Woman Immediately Gets Between Them And Pushes Quinn Away.
Glaring Woman: Back Off!.
Quinn: And For The Last Time!, Who Are You Guys!?, It You Just Wanted To Spew Some Stupid Shit To Me!, Than You Can Go Push A Stick Up Someone Else's Ass!.
Glaring Woman: Shut It Maniac!. Quinn Immediately Stops Yelling Upon Being Called "Maniac", And She Realizes The Familiarity In The Shorter Woman's Voice Aswell, And She Also Has Patches On Her Head And Face, More So Than The Glasses Woman, And She Thinks Back And Realizes That These Two Women Are Two Of The Three EASE Undercover Units That Chased Her Last Night Along Winds Run Before She Took Both Of Them Out, These Four People That Were Bothering Her, Were EASE Undercover Officers.
Quinn: Besides, It's Not Like It Hurts The Country's Image Or Anything.
???: It Does Though. And Then, Another Voice Comes From Behind The Two Male Officers And Everyone Turns To Spot A Third Woman Dressed Exactly Like The EASE Undercover Officers, Making Her One Aswell, Quinn Recognizes Her On The Spot, She Was That Pretty Female Officer Driving That Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT Undercover That Chased Her Last Night, And The Four Seemingly Acknowledge Her With An Unspoken Authority And Step Away To Let Her Handle The Situation.
Glasses Officer: SL. Quinn Had Heard The Term "SL" Before, It's An Abbreviation For "Squad Leader" That Used Among Law Enforcement Agencies In East Apollo Particularly To "Self-Explanatory" Refer To The Leader Of Teams Within The Agencies.
SL Officer: Our Laws Are Extremely Important, They Keep Us Not Only Within Society's Chain, But Also In The Stream Of Worth, Every Single Person In This Country Will Be Held To The Exact Same Standard, If You Have A Problem With That, Perhaps You Don't Belong Within Our Borders. Quinn Is Once Again Caught In A Daze At The SL Woman's Good Looks, But She Quickly Snaps Out Of It And Glares At Her.
Quinn: I'm Just Saying It's Silly, If You're Gonna Be On North Korea's Level Of Stickless On Your Code Of Law, You Should At Least Let People Know About It, Like A Rule Book Or Something If Your That Hung Up. And Quinn Walks Up In Front Of The SL Woman And Gets In Her Face Aswell.
Quinn: Well, "Squad Leader", What Do You Have To Say About That?.
SL Officer: ...
Quinn: "Smirks" Exactly, I Thought As Much. And Then, Quinn Suddenly Feels The SL Woman Embrace Her And Start Feeling Her Up, To Which Quinn's Face Burns Up And She's In A Daze Again.
Quinn: Hey!. Quinn Trys To Break From The SL Woman's Hold, But She Doesn't Let Her, To Which Her Caresses Get More And More Suggestive In More "Non-Innocent" Places, Until, Finally, The SL Woman Let's Go, And Quinn Falls To Her Knees, With Her Face And Body All Hot, Trying To Catch Her Breath.
SL Officer: Is It Her?. And Then, One Of The Male Officers Picks Quinn Up By The Arms And Lifts Her Head Up By The Hair, And The Other Scans Quinn's Face With A Camera And Looks At The Screen For A Few Seconds.
Tech Officer: Yeah, It's Her.
Glaring Officer: Lowly Street Creep.
SL Officer: Pack Her Up, We're Going Home. And Then, The Glasses Officer Pulls A Silver Gun From Her Waistband And Shoots Quinn In The Face With A Stun Bullet (Stun Bullet Guns Are The East Apolloesian Alternative To Tasers, It's Basically A Dart That Becomes Electrified Upon Fire And Paralyzes Anyone Hit By It, Until The Electricity Wears Off, And Then, It Can Simply Be Pulled Out Of The Body Without A Care, No Medical Attention Needed) And Quinn's Vision Starts Blurring As She Feels Woozy From The Electricity Piercing Through Her Head, And Her World Goes Black.
4 Hours Later..., 1:12PM. Quinn Slowly Opened Her Eyes With Blurred Vision And An Aching Head, And Once Her Vision Clears Up, She's Finds Herself In A Dark Room, It's Slightly Cold, To Which Quinn Notices The Slightly Foggy Atmosphere, Indicating Dry Ice, And Upon Trying Move, She Finds That She's Strapped To A Chair, Hands Cuffed Behind, Legs Cuffed To The Chair Legs, And Then, Five Officers Step In, Three Male Officers And Two Female Officers.
Male Officer: Hello, Punk. Quinn Doesn't Respond To His Insult, Because She's To Weak To At The Moment.
Male Officer: One Of Our Superior Officers Asked Us To Get Information Out Of You.
Female Officer: All You Have To Do, Is Tell Us What We Want, And Your "Free". Quinn Can Tell How Full Of Shit That Last Part Was.
Quinn: Fuck Off. And Then, One Of The Male Officers Then Slap Quinn Across The Face, To Which Quinn Starts To Reel In Pain While Leaning Over.
Male Officer: I Think Our Punk Needs A Little "Loosing". And The Moment He Says That, Quinn Perks Up A Little From A Shiver Down Her Spine At His Tone, And She Perks Up More Upon Seeing One Of The Female Officers Pull Out A Knife.
Female Officer: Than Let's Get Started Shall We?. They Cut Off Quinn's Clothes And Proceeded To Torture Her For Hours, Beating, Cutting, Waterboarding, Stun Belts, Electroshock Therapy.
4 Hours Later..., 5:18PM. Quinn Somehow Was Still Conscious After Hours Of Torture, She Was In A Lot Of Pain, Her Breathing Was Shallow, The Coldness Of The Room Wasn't Helping Either, And The Officers Were Starting To Get Hot-Headed.
Male Officer: Why Won't You Break!?.
Female Officer: I'm Getting Fed Up With This.
Male Officer: Seems We'll Have To Further To Get It Out, Hm?. And Then, Once The Officer Flipped The Chair Backwards To Waterboard Quinn Again, The Door Opened And The Officers Looked To See Who It Was, And Quinn Did The Same, And In Her Blurred Vision, Could Just About Recognize The SL Woman From Before, Standing In The Doorway.
Male Officer: Silverhart.
SL Officer (Silverhart): What Are You Doing In Here?. And The SL Woman Walked Over To Quinn And Gave Her Injuries A Once Over Before Turning To The Other Officers With An Unimpressed Expression.
SL Officer: Seriously?.
Female Officer: Just Trying To Loosen Her Mirae.
Quinn: (Thoughts) Her Names..., Mirae?.
Mirae: Ugh, Can't You Just Put Her Out Of Her Misery?. Mirae Then Steps Over Quinn Pulls Out A Baton From Her Waistband And Hits Quinn In The Head, Knocking Her Out.
5 Hours Later..., 10:22PM. Quinn Awakens To A Powering Sound And The Slight Shaking Of Her Seat, But Doesn't Open Her Eyes Due To The Reeling Pain In Her Head, Face And Body, And After About 30 Seconds, She Finally Opens Her Eyes Slowly And Looks Around, Her Vision Is Slightly Blurred And Her Hearing Is Empaired, But She's Just About Able To Tell That She's Sat Inside Of A Vehicle, Probably An SUV, And Noticing That The Vehicle Is Seemingly Floating Through The Air, And This Confuses Her, Until She Feels A Substance Around Her Wrists, And Notices Her Hands Are Taped To The Steering Wheel And She Tests The Tape, But It's Rather Strong And There's A Lot Of It, And Her Hearing Recovers And She Can Hear Clear As Day Now, She Quickly Realizes That The SUV That She's In Is Being Carried By A Crane With A Magnet And Once The Crane Suddenly Stops Moving, Quinn Looks Below To See That The SUV Is Being Carried Over A Car Crusher, And She Struggles Against Her Bindings Harder, But The Tape Is Still Holding Strong, And Then, She Suddenly Hears The Magnet Switch Off And The SUV Starts Falling, And Time Slows Down For Quinn As She Falls, She Spots Two EASE Officers Watching On As The SUV Falls, And Quinn Yells Out As The SUV, Until The SUV Lands Inside The Car Crusher, Quinn Takes A Moment To Catch Her Breath, Before Hearing The Car Crusher Power Up And Looks Over To Her Left To Notice The Walls Inching Closer, And The Left Wall Hitting The Side Of The SUV, And Then, The Right Wall Also Slams Up Against The SUV And All Of The Windows And The Mirrors On The SUV Completely Shatter Under The Sheer Force, And Quinn Starts To Furiously Struggle Against Her Bindings, And Starts To Feel The Tape Get Looser, And Is Able To Pull Her Left Hand Free And Then Is Able To Do The Same With Her Right, And Quinn Climbs Over To The Passenger And Notices The Sunroof, And Punches It Three Times, Before Delivering One More Strong Punch To The Sunroof, Which Shatters It, And She Proceeds To Climb Through The Sunroof And Out Of The SUV And Once On The Roof, Can Hear The SUV's Chassis Begin To Give Out, And She Jumps Off The SUV's Roof And Is Able To Grab Onto The Top Ledge Of The Car Crusher, And With A Loud Groan Is Able To Pull Herself Up And She Climbs On Top Of The Car Crusher And Carefully Jumps Off And Onto The Ground And Presses Herself Against The Crusher As She Hears The SUV Get Completely Destroyed And The Crusher Powering Off, And She Looks Around, And Realizes That She's In A Scrap Yard And Doesn't See Any EASE Officers Yet, But She Does Suddenly Remember Her Lack Of Clothing, And Spots A Leather Coat And A Pair Of Boots And Glances Around Once More Before Running Over And Grabbing Them, And Quickly Putting Them On, And Once Somewhat Clothed Again, Quinn Begins To Sneak Around And Spots A Pair Of Headlights Approaching, And She Immediately Ducks Behind Two Barrels, And Upon Peaking Out Once The Car Stopped, She Realizes It's An EASE Undercover Unit, A Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Undercover Unit To Be Exact, And Once The Male Officer Gets Out...
Female Officer: Ashwood!, Come On!, We Gotta Get The Car And The Body Out Of Here!. And The Male Officer Places The Aventador Keys On The Rear Wing, And Immediately Rushes Over, And Quinn Takes This Opportunity To Sneak Over Towards The Aventador Undercover, But The Officers Begin To Turn, And Upon Realizing That They're Gonna See Her, She Immediately Starts Running And Grabs The Aventador Key.
Female Officer: What The Hell?.
Male Officer: She's Outta The Car!, Grab Her!. And The Officers Begin To Run Over, But Quinn Is Already Inside The Aventador And Once Starting The Engine, Immediately Floors It Through A Fence And Onto A Dirt Navigation Road Through The Scrap Yard, And Upon Reaching The Main Navigation Road, Two Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT Undercovers Race Into View, But Don't Flip On Their Lights Or Sirens As They Give Chase After Quinn Threads The Neetle Between Them, After Racing Through The Scrap Yard For A Few Minutes, Quinn Finally Finds The Exit And Smashes Through The Gate And Onto The Public Road, And Continues Race Through The Streets With The Two Undercovers Close Behind, To Which Quinn Slowly Realizes That She's Somewhere In The Midnight Metropolitan Area, Another Of The Neighboring Regions To Night Elston, And Upon Drifting To The Right And Onto A Straight, Quinn Spots A Third Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT Speeding Into View From Another Road, And She Suddenly Hears Gunfire And A Truck Parked On The Side Of The Road Carrying Explosive Barrels Suddenly Explode, But Quinn Is Able To Keep It Under Control, And Upon Taking A Left, She Notices That A Railroad Crossing Is Ahead, And The Barriers Suddenly Go Down, The Lights Start Flashing And The Signal Bell Starts Ringing, Quinn Looks In Her Mirror To See The Undercovers Not Far Behind, And Immediately Floors It Towards The Railroad Crossing, And When She's About To Cross, She Hears The Sound Of The Trains Horn And Sees The Trains Headlight Shining Bright Approaching The Crossing Fast, But Quinn Keeps Her Foot In And Merges Onto The Shoulder And Approaches At The Same Time As The Train And Rams The Barriers Down And Narrowly Makes It Across And Avoids Getting T-Boned By The Train And Looks In Her Mirror, To See The Undercovers Coming To A Stop On The Other Side Of The Crossing, And Quinn Drifts Through A Right-Hand Corner And Races Out Of Sight.
30 Minutes Later..., 11:26PM, Seacrest Park, Night Elston Region. Quinn Races Towards The Intersection To Get Onto The Cascade Terrace Road, But Instead Of Turning Left Into The Complex, Drifts To The Right At The Intersection Onto Oakmont Valley, And Speeds Down The Road For A Few Miles, Before She Comes Across A Gas Station And Pulls Off And Parks Behind The Building, And Kills The Engine On The Undercover Aventador, Gets Out, Throws The Key Away Into The Bushes, And Proceeds To Walk The Rest Of The Way To The Wyndams.
15 Minutes Later..., 11:49PM, Cascade Terrace. After That Long Walk, Quinn Has Finally Made It To The Wyndams Residential Block, And Proceeds To Enter Through The Gated Door Into The Residence, And Upon Walking Towards The Front Door, Notices Two Cars Out Front, A Black Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat With A Widebody Kit On It, Along With A Two-Tone Livery, All Black On The Left Side With "Midnight" Displayed, And Purple Decals All Over The Right Side, This Is Accompanied By A Long Lightbar Across The Front Grill And Liner Headlights All Around It, And The Other Car, A Silver Lamborghini Urus With A Widebody Kit And Turquoise Accents, And Quinn While Staring At The Two Unique Cars, She Spots Everyone On The Balcony Talking Amongst Each Other, Until Nyssa Looks Down And Spots Quinn, And Everyone Proceeds To Run Out Of View And In Less Than A Minute, The Front Door Flys Open And Quinn Places Her Hands On Her Knees, And Looks Up And Spots Mr. Wyndam In The Doorway
Quinn: Mr..., Wyndam..., Sir...
Mr. Wyndam: You're Alive..., Quinn.., You're..., You're Alive!. Mr. Wyndam Walks Over To Quinn As Everyone Else Comes Out, Along With Two Unknown Women, One Of Them About Quinn's Age, The Other Slightly Older.
Ms. Wyndam: It's A Miracle!, It's A Goddamn Miracle!.
Older Woman: Hey, Have A Drink, Someone Give Her A Goddamn Drink!. And Alaric Hands Quinn A Water Bottle, And She Immediately Chugs It Down And Trys To Catch Her Breath.
Mr. Wyndam: It's Okay Kid, Breathe. And Ms. Wyndam Looks Over The Extensive Injuries On Quinn's Body From The Torture.
Ms. Wyndam: You See What They Put Her Through?.
Young Woman: Jesus Christ, Let's Get Her To Bed. They Bring Quinn Inside The House And Her Body Finally Starts To Weaken Again From The Adrenaline Wearing Off And She Starts To Groan From Pain, And They Bring Her To One Of The Guest Rooms And Place Her On The Bed, And Have Her Lay Down.
Ms. Wyndam: You're Safe Now, Quinn.
Quinn: That's Really Convincing Miss... After Quinn Said That, The Wyndams Immediately Look Towards The Slightly Older Woman To Quinn.
Mr. Wyndam: Rapier, Will You Sit With Her For A Minute?.
Rapier: Of Course. The Woman Being Referred To With A Codename Probably Meant That She Was A Speedhunter, And The Other Woman That's Actually Around Quinn's Age Probably Is Aswell, And Rapier Pulls Up A Chair And Sits Next To The Bed And Places Her Upon Quinn's.
Rapier: It'll Be Okay Quinn, You're Home. And Quinn Takes This Moment To Finally Gets Some Rest And Closes Her Eyes.
