"I just hope that you're right" Shakila replied back as she took a quick look around before looking to Shelton "Quick question, after this....what do you propose we do then?"

Get you a new uniform," Shelton said. "I know where the locker rooms are. I'm not sure how we're going to get you to the locker room from the maintenance hatch. The guards are going to wonder why I gave you my coat."

MrDrake · **Reply #1662 on:** May 21, 2010, 09:19:24 PM

"So, in other words....you're kinda making this up as you're going along then?" Shakila asked back with a small shrug as well "I mean, do you even know how to get to there for here? Cause well, I don't, I mean, I had a little look at the map once, but not enough time to know my way around off by heart"

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1663 on:** May 21, 2010, 09:27:22 PM

"Yeah, pretty much," Shelton admitted. "I've been on the ground floor, but that doesn't mean this tunnel is going to lead anywhere recognizable. And I don't have authority up there unless I'm wearing that coat...we'll just keep out of sight or something. I'll think of a plan, don't worry."

<Aydin? Are you still working on that route for us?>

<Sorry doctor,> Aydin replied. <I've received an anonymous tip on a Subject 16, and am currently investigating. I cannot help you at this time.>

MrDrake · **Reply #1664 on:** May 21, 2010, 09:31:57 PM

"Hehe, well, I do trust you on the matter....you seem to be rather smart in that sort of thing" Shakila smiled back to him as they started to walk again.

Subject 16 was indeed, in his own holding cell. He was a human, however, he was older than what it seemed, at least in his late 50s, early 60s.

He could hear footsteps approaching, yet, he just remained quiet and just sat where he was, sitting on the bed, waiting for whom it was that was approaching to speak before he was to say anything at all.

Shelton smiled. "You too. I recall you were the only one who guessed this invasion wouldn't go as planned, and it pretty much hasn't."

Up ahead they found the maintenance hatch. Shelton forced it open, and peeked out. It led into a small technician's closet. "We're clear. Thanks Agito," he remarked, forcing his way into the cramped room.

MrDrake · **Reply #1666 on:** May 21, 2010, 09:40:15 PM

Shakila gave off a small little laugh again "Yeah, I just could see that it was going to fail and well, it hadn't gone to plan....but then again, I guess this whole thing has been, I suppose you could say, an Indy Ploy thing, you know, make it up as you go along sort of thing....just like Indiana Jones does...."

She to followed Shelton into the cramped closet "Oh...they so could've made this closet a bit bigger at least...." she grumbled only lightly.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1667 on:** May 21, 2010, 09:49:02 PM

"Technicians like to keep everything close together, makes fixing things and reaching tools easier," Shelton explained.

He tried the door. It was locked from the outside. "Dammit. I don't have anything to pick a lock." He tried to turn and look around the closet, and bumped into Shakila. "Sorry. See if you can find anything on your side of the closet. Small slivers of metal, pins, things like that."

MrDrake · **Reply #1668 on:** May 21, 2010, 09:53:58 PM

Shakila gave off a nod back as she begun to rumage through what she could find "Let's see here, nope, nope, wont do..." she gave off a small sigh before picking up something and looked to the door before shaking her head "Sorry Shelton" she spoke, turning around and bumping into Shelton, seeming to blush only lightly as she stepped back a little to give him a bit more room.

"Yeah, nothing I can really find to help us out, I mean, they all seem a bit to big to pick the lock with or to make a small bomb...which I highly doubt we could do with what's in this room, then again, I don't even know how to make one...."

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1669 on:** May 22, 2010, 12:39:19 AM

Shelton slumped. "Let's rest," he said. "We wanted to get you somewhere safe. Here we are."

He leaned against the wall. Then he looked over.

"You know, I don't think I ever got your last name."

MrDrake · **Reply #1670 on:** May 22, 2010, 12:42:34 AM

Shakila too sat down, but decided to sit down next to Shelton as she looked to him "That's because I never gave it....Brennan, that's my last name....odd one I know, but hey, I quite like it myself" she told him with a smile.

She leaned back up against the wall "What about you? Cause I don't think I know your last name either...."

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1671 on:** May 22, 2010, 04:00:24 AM

"That's a very nice name," Shelton smiled. "And Shelton is my last name, my first name is Rudyard, or Rudy."

MrDrake · **Reply #1672 on:** May 22, 2010, 05:38:50 AM

"Thanks and I have to say, Rudyard Shelton, now that's got a nice little ring to it" Shakila smiled back to him "What do you prefeer to be called anyway? Although, I'm rather used to calling you Shelton, but I don't mind if you want to be called Rudy for example"

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1673 on:** May 22, 2010, 06:06:37 AM

"I don't think there is anyone who calls me Rudy, most people call me Shelton. Hell, I call myself as Shelton," he suddenly realized. "But Rudy would be great," he smiled.

MrDrake · **Reply #1674 on:** May 22, 2010, 06:11:14 AM

Shakila gave off another little laugh and without even thinking on it, leaned against hima bit as well "Well, if you would like to be called Rudy, then sure" she told him with a smile before looking at him once again.

There was a little pause that had come from her and without thinking of it one bit, she had leaned in and gave him a kiss, right upon the lips. Although, after the kiss she pulled away and just blushed some "Sorry, I uh....I don't know what....came over me...." she spoke in a small nervous sounding laugh.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1675 on:** May 22, 2010, 06:14:49 AM

Shelton's eyes went wide. He opened his mouth, tried to say something, then after a pause leaned over and kissed her back.

MrDrake · **Reply #1676 on:** May 22, 2010, 06:19:04 AM

Shakila just smiled back in the end when Shelton had returned the kiss back to her as she let off a very light purr herself "You're a good kisser" she mussed to him some before just leaning against him by that point.

Subject 16 sat there still, he could hear the footsteps, but he hear no one speak up and decided to speak himself "You're not Trinity, nor Kain....nor even Subject 19 for that matter....who exactly are you?" he decided to ask, not moving from his spot at all.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1677 on:** May 22, 2010, 06:22:51 AM

Shelton laid his head back against the wall, his mind still spinning trying to figure out how exactly things advanced so quickly.

***

"My name is Aydin, and you don't have to fear me, I'm with the strike force that is currently raiding this facility," he responded. "Tell me what you know about Trinity's undercover project, and how you know it."

MrDrake · **Reply #1678 on:** May 22, 2010, 06:28:57 AM

Shakila had her head rested on Shelton by that point now, smiling rather contently to herself as well, especially from recieving a kiss back from him.

"Aydin? Very well then, as you would've guessed by now, I am, what they call me, Subject 16, having said that, you must be here because you had stumbled across one of my messages, tell me, what message did you recieve? Was it about the other experiments that are run here? Or was it about Trinity's little bio weapon that she had been developing for a while now?" Subject 16 soon stood up and walked over to the door, looking out....well, to the best he could. He was wearing a blindfold over his eyes, yet, he could tell where Aydin was, almost as if he was looking at the Vulpine.

"What I know about this facility is a fair amount, but I need to know one thing, what of the prisoners that were recently bought here? I know that Kain had ordered new people to work on, to....experiment on, what has become of them? Are they safe at the moment? As that's what I assume you are also here for, to rescue them as well...." he paused for a moment "Was it Subject 17 that bought you here? The one who is usually refered to by others as Aimee?"

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1679 on:** May 22, 2010, 06:32:04 AM

"Of your two messages I received the latter, and I don't know about the prisoners; our intent in coming here was to rescue them. Aimee is currently leading one of the teams underground, and I hope she's okay," Aydin informed Subject 16. He extended his hand. "Let me remove your blindfold."
