"Agreed." Brianna removed the mark and observed the terrible red pattern which was left behind on Ambrose's foot. She leaned in to Hunter's ear and whispered to him. "Since we're going to have the subject shift anyway, how about we take a look at some effects on his animal? He's a bat... Any ideas?"


Ambrose whimpers as the foot throbs painfully. He blinks the stars from his eyes and tries pulling his arm away from Hunter. He looks at his arm with pain-filled eyes. "Why.." He whimpers and pulls at his handcuffs again, half-heartedly. He was about to give up at this point. Nothing was working, they would never stop...

The Boss left the pool side, farewelling some of the Servals who watched him leave with a solitary wave. He returned to his quarters which was just across the entrance from the pool. It sometimes was noisy outside his door, but he liked to hear the conversations and joy of his Family as they swam in the water. It constantly reminded him of the future he was fighting for. This room was different to the one he worked in, which had a strictly-business feel to it even with the shelves filled with his personal books and his favourite album kept on his desk. This room felt like home. It was small in size, more of an apartment than a house, with a tiny kitchen and living room in one half and a bedroom shooting off from one of the doors. The kitchen was for show. The Boss had not cooked his own meals in years, having staff and family do it for him.
He entered his bedroom, furnished with a large canopied bed. One of his first lovers had told him of her passion for a gothic style. The frame of the bed was reminiscent of her, being one of his favourite. This bed was colder than any other he'd shared. While he'd been with many women, he could never settle his heart on one and as such his room remained empty and his alone. A bed side table and armoire were both covered with framed pictures. Pictures of family, pictures of shifters and him with scenic backdrops that mimicked desktop pictures in their beauty. He stared at those pictures for a long moment, along with several handwritten letters beneath them. Many of his old shifting friends still kept in contact. His heart ached for a moment. How would they feel if they knew about the children in the labs? The bodies in the basement? He forced his attention to refocus on changing from his relaxing clothes to his business outfit. Friends were not the same as family. Those shifters could never understand the way he felt. If they did, they would allow him to go to any length to reach his goal.
He slipped on a sharp-looking jacket of black velvet and did up a patterned tie to match. He grabbed his cane and gave it a couple of swings for a moment to remind himself of the fighting techniques he knew so well. He then made a move to leave, but while passing the kitchen had a certain memory kindled within him. He gingerly opened the pantry and pushed aside a couple of boxes of tea bags. Yes, they were still there, right at the very back - a little tin of lemon sherbets. Harvey's favourite. Tucking a few of them in his pocket, he closed the pantry and exited his room. It was time to retrieve the child.

Hunter nods in satisfaction. "I think that'll do it. We should... mess with his senses. You know, because of echolocation?" He glances to his colleague expectantly. He could feel how exhausted Ambrose was growing. It was only a matter of time before they lost him. "That isn't too bad on him, since we're supposed to keep him alive." He adds that last bit in to make sure Brianna didn't think he was growing soft. "So?'

"I agree," Brianna puts the skewers back where they came from and switches off the bunsen burner. She then grabs Ambrose's chin in one hand and forces him to look up at her. "Now, Ambrose, If you're a good subject and shift for us, I promise we won't burn you again. Otherwise..." She let the sentence drop off with an implied threat.

Ambrose meets her gaze defiantly for a moment. He then drops his gaze and nods weakly, giving up. He whimpers softly at the threat, not even wanting to think of what other torture she could think of. "I'll shift.." He whispers. He was thoroughly exhausted and just wanted to sleep. His jaws hurt and he couldn't find the strength to do much of anything anymore.

Hunter looked pleased as Ambrose finally gave in. "Excellent!" He says, putting his arms behind his back in an at ease stance. His eyes watched the boy intently as he waited for Brianna to continue one the procedure.

Brianna quickly took photos of the multiple spots where Ambrose had been burnt. "These will do for the measurements." she said curtly. "Bat form now, Ambrose."

Ambrose glares a bit at her. "I can't." He says calmly. "My wings won't work in these handcuffs." He wobbles a bit, managing to keep balanced on his un burned foot. He glances around briefly, before looking back at Brianna. "Go ahead and punish me for something I can;t help." He snaps, whimpering softly in pain.

"Fine." Brianna sighs and takes out the key, unlocking the cuffs, noting the raw marks left from where Ambrose had struggled against them. She looks over at Hunter. "Make sure that the doors are closed. Even though it's unlikely the boy will escape, I don't want to take any risks."

Hunter looks at Brianna expectanly. He wanted her to decide as Ambrose did have a point in regards to his wings. As she directs him he nods in response. He then moves to secure the doors and any other point of exit that Ambrose could exploit. After a moment he decides it's squared away and turns to help with the boy.

Ambrose sighs as the door shuts. "Damn you figured me out." He says sarcastically. He rubs his wrists gingerly. He runs his hand over the burns on his face and arms, whimpering softly as he feels the burned flesh. He gives them an angry glare, before sighing and shifting.

Sacha sighs heavily, still feeling bad. Her group mates were her responsibility and one was missing, possibly dead or horribly injured and she was helpless to help.

Monasighs softly. "I guess..." she whispers, tears in her eyes. She liked Ambrose and didn't like feeling like he was hurt.


As they approach the camp, Dione slows. She casts a concerned glance at Sacha before gently resting her hand on the other girl's arm. "Don't beat yourself up about it," she said, voice gentle but firm. "He's your friend, too. I know you care about him and want him safe just as much as I do."

Misha lets out a short huff and collapses back against the seat. "Are we there yet? I want to put this whoooooooole deal outta my head forever."

"Ah, wonderful, the subject has some obedience." Brianna forcefully pulled out one of his wings. "Your friend, the freckled girl, could not shift on command." She gently touched the burn mark, the one that had been on his arms, which she could see faintly on the leathery wing. "The dear thing couldn't hold a watt of electricity either." she meant her words to insinuate that Misha had died, not escaped. She looks over at Hunter. "Come, look at these burns."

Sacha nods, smiling weakly at that. "Yeah, we go way back, before I was even leader." She exhales. "This group is my family. I love each and everyone of you and I'd hate to think of anything bad happening." she looks at the sky and sighs. "I just hope that he's okay..."

"Almost. I'm surprised you don't care about that boy." Mona comments with a shrug as she watches the scenary change to more of a forest-y one. She glances at Liwei. "Poor boy." She whispers.

Dione nods gravely, lips pursed. "I know how you feel. I'm going to do whatever it takes to get him back - I'd do that for anyone!" She pauses for a moment, wrapping her arms around herself to bite off the chill of a sudden breeze. "I just don't want you to think you're in this alone."

Misha snorted, fingers falling to the van's dusty upholstery and entering an anxious scratching motion. "Fine, lady," she hissed through gritted teeth. "Be all righteous, be all sad." She shook her head, face turning to a scowl. "I'm a bad guy for being hurt and not knowing who you're talkin' about."

Ambrose winces as she pulls out his wing. He watches her and then gasps a bit. "No..." He whimpers. "You didn't...kill her did you?" His eyes well with tears. Much as he didn't like Misha, death wasn't something funny or even a casual subject of topic. He shakes his head weakly.

Sacha sets a hand on Dione's shoulder. "Likewise. If you need to talk, I'm always here for you, okay?" She smiles softly before looking up as they approach the Rabin camp. She sighs heavily, shaking her head.

Mona sighs heavily, shaking her head. "Stop scratching the van." She spots the town up ahead, to the north of the two groups. "Okay. So we're almost here. You'll have to show us where your...friends are located."

"What would it matter, Ambrose? Anyone you knew before you will never see again." Brianna pushed her thumb against the burn. "You aren't ever going to escape here." She realised then how mad she was at the subject and how much she hated him. He'd made such a mockery of her. He couldn't die? Even better. His torture would be endless.

The Boss threw open the door with an impressive amount of force for such an old man. "Brianna! Hunter! What's going on here? What are you doing to my dear Ambrose?"

Ambrose whimpers in pain. He shivers in slight fear at the idea of never escaping. "My friends will find me." He says defiantly. He then jumps in alarm at the door being thrown open. He felt a weird relief wash over him as he recognized the Boss. He glances warily at Brianna to get a reaction from her.

Dione looks out into the woods one last time before crossing into the clearing. She sighed. She knew she wouldn't have the energy to search for Ambrose all night, but every part of her body - at least, the parts that weren't aching - told her to do everything in her power to pull him back from whatever dark hole he had fallen in. She looked back at Sacha. "What are we going to do?"

Misha froze. "No." She unbuckled her seat belt and edged towards the door, body tensing in suspicion. "Nope, you can let me out here. I can walk back." She grabbed the door handle but it was child-locked; instead, she began unrolling the window.
