Sirens and Elevators

"Forgot that was broken"

Cane was now standing in a rather familiar corridor sitting between cell blocks f and g looking rather sheepish next to Kira. Well, it could hardly be considered a corridor since all the nearby walls had been smashed to rubble by a certain duo during one of their increasingly common tantrums

"Really?" Kira questioned with a surprised expression, pointing towards the elevator that looked like a tin can attacked by wolves "didn't you have to like, climb out of this thing?"

"correct" he nodded before letting out a sigh and holding the bridge of his nose with his available hand "however due to a certain two vixens and a visit to the hospital my mind has been occupied"

Cane couldn't help but reflect on how much his life had sped up over the two months since he gained employment here, he had gotten… sloppy, a few months ago there was no way in hell that he would have gone to bed without checking the windows and there was no way that he would have forgotten soothing as simple as a broken elevator. The only excuse he really had was the painkillers he was on but even those were quite weak

Feeling someone pat his shoulder he looked up to Kira who was now giving him a grin that seemed way too excited for the topic of a broken elevator

"as much as you are going to have the story behind that I get the feeling we have more important matters" she teased before pointing towards a rope that was attached to the roof of the broken elevator shaft "we've been using a pully system for the past few days to let the staff enter and exit, we attach a harness" she pointed towards a rack of said items nearby "and lower you down"

Walking over to the rack and putting on a harness of his size he asked "I assume my bodyguard will be the one lowering me down" making a pointed glance towards her muscular arms and stomach

Flexing her muscles jokingly with a huff and pout she asked "I hope you aren't going to doubt my athletic prowess" she said in a fake offended tone "I'll have you know I've thrown around plenty of men your size before" before begging to go over his straps making sure everything was set properly, careful of his slung arm, before promptly picking him up by the waist and attaching him to the pulley

"P-Please be gentle" Cane couldn't help but tease causing the woman to both chortle and lightly blush "I-it's my first-time doing bondage"

"Best get used to it" she said with a wink "I'll be harnessing you up every day that you go the victim wing until the elevator is fixed" she smiles mischievously before suddenly dropping him

"Ohhhhh Noooooooo" he yelled playfully as he drooped down the shaft hearing the woman's laughter echo through the shaft

He fell for a few more seconds before his descent slowed gently and he soon saw the light coming from the lower levels illuminating the darkness and soon his feet gently kissed the ground, untying himself and giving a tug on the rope and yelling an "All Good!" he then made his way through the sublevel giving a few short greetings to the newly hired staff and making his way to the citadel

The citadel was a room within the victim wing that cane had only been informed of during a call he had received from the overseer during his stint in the hospital, based at the very back of the wing, surrounded by every safety measure that could be thought of the citadel was the one place members of the victim wing could go to get social interaction

Not that it was ever used, due to the nature of most inmates' abilities they were usually denied any physical contact, kept in a medically induced sleep, or simply had nobody alive to visit them, meaning the room simply sat, gathering dust, untouched through the years until now

After a five-minute walk, following the signs plastered to the walls and the directions of the staff he eventually found a door, completely covered in bolts and locks, a variety of ores, minerals, and technology attached to it, designed to be relatively ability proof to the inmates that it was designed for

Cane simply pulled out his wallet and showed the scanner his security card and walked in, and then let out a low whistle at the room, the originally desolate and empty room Cane had seen in the photos the overseer had sent him during his debriefing had been replaced with a lavish and rich setting identical to that of his own office, including lighting, the armchair and couch and even his little safe, equipped with a large bottle of whiskey

Sitting down and making himself at home, cane checked his watch and brought up Akari's files on his phone, going over them one more time, as to make sure he didn't get any information wrong in their session, or at least not get the information wrong on accident

After all, the need to correct a falsity was more often than not a good way to make a patient open up.

And as he finally finished his reading, he heard alarms go off and a door different from the one he had come through opened and revealed Akari Yuu, understandably not escorted by any guards as that would just cause another slaughter
