“I had just finished having a family visit with my brother when there was skind of explosion. One of the

processing to be put back into the main prison, and so we avoided the main blast. We were able to slip out
during the chaos. It seemed like someone else was breaking out and there was ssort of standoff with the
prison guards. So we took advantage of the opportunity, and we have been on the run since,” | say, repeating
the story for the third time.
“And you say you worked closely with Cornelius before you were incarcerated?” he asks.

Two men are in the room with me. They are not the stwo that we had encountered when we arrived. These
two look well-dressed and too clean and groomed to be living in abandoned buildings like the others.
“Have you ever been compelled?” one of the men asks. He is tall with blond hair. A thick angry scar runs from his
chin, across his jawline, then down his neck before disappearing into the collar of his shirt.
“Yes, when | was questioned in prison years ago,” | nod.
“We have someone on their way to question you under compulsion. Do you have any objections?” he asks.
“No, 1 have nothing to hide,” | shake my head.
“Good, it won't be long now,” the second guy grins, but it’s not a friendly grin.
“Any chance of swater, and maybe something to eat? I've not eaten since breakfast the morning before we
escaped,” | say, keeping up the act.
“As soon as you are cleared. I'm sure you can understand we are hesitant to give away our resources to just

sheet curtain that is hung up as a makeshift door.
“There is something hinky with the other guy. He has been heavily compelled previously,” the third man says

“Where have you lived for the last 16 years?”
“In the Greys realm, in the prison,” | say.
“Why are you here?”
“Because | need help from my people to help free the rest of our group from the prison and get vengeance

“I'm in,” | say into the mind link and feel my groups relief, gratefulnes and hope flood the bond.
