Oh, It's You Again // O/O // Closed

Bridge nodded a little, knowing he was probably serious. "Now?"

"Well, we should probably plan first. I may be impulsive sometimes, but jumping into this blind would be idiotic."

He nodded again. "You've…you've been here longer than I have."

"Indeed. I've studied the guards' shifts and routines in case of a situation like this, so I know where blind spots and brief guard free intermissions are." Scipio said simply, yet quietly so the guards wouldn't hear him.

"Oh." Bridge paused. "Do…do you know how far away an exit is?"

Scipio nodded. "I've seen them briefly when I've run out before, for that reason specifically. I have at least a partially photographic memory, and I know how part of this place is laid out."

"That's…that's good," Bridge said, thinking silently to himself. He knew it was very dangerous, but the idea of getting out of here, let alone with Scipio, appealed greatly to him.

"I haven't seen all of it, but what I do know should be sufficient. How to get out of the cell without being noticed could be more difficult, though…"

"We…we did it last time. Not…not without alarms, though," He pointed out.

"I might be able to manage it if I knock a guard unconscious after he opens the door… I can do it quickly so he doesn't make any noise. As much as I'd like that guard to be Dave, his schedule unfortunately wouldn't fit the plans…"

Bridge smiled a little. "If…maybe they'll come again. To get me, probably."

"No, that wouldn't work… they'd bring about a dozen guards and there's no guarantee I could take them all down, at least not without them calling backup. If we could convince someone to come in alone…" He mused quietly to himself.

"Who would do that?" Bridge asked, looking up at him.

"Luka's done it before. And I would love to knock that bastard out."

Bridge considered for a moment. "He…he might."

Scipio nodded again. "He thinks he's powerful, but I can take him easily… we'll have to find a good time to do this. I don't know Luka's schedule very well yet."

"I…I think he'll come around today," Bridge predicted - and it was a good guess, too.

Scipio spotted Luka approaching and stood, carefully setting Bridge down. Strangely enough, this was actually one of the quiet times for guards as well. "Hello, Luka." Scipio said bitterly, approaching the door.

Luka shut the door behind him, glancing over to Bridge and eyeing the still visible hickey on his neck before turning his attention back to Scipio. "Now which one of us did that?"

"Don't know, bastard. I know what you did." Scipio glared at Luka, hiding the fact that he would soon attack.

"Oh, that? I assumed he told you," Luka responded with a small smirk. "You wouldn't let me have him any other way."

"Can't imagine why I'd be hesitant to let you take him. The guards tried to lie to me, but I'm no fool."

"Funny, I was just about to ask. Nicely this time, Scorpion," Luka said, looking over to Bridge again.

"You can't have him." Scipio stood in front of Bridge, one arm held out in front of the younger boy protectively.

"You said that last time, too," Luka pointed out with a raised eyebrow.

Scipio huffed a bit. "As well as I can fight, it's difficult for one seventeen year old to take on a dozen adults at the same time. Especially when all of those adults are armed with tazers and god knows what else, and I've got nothing but myself and my wits."

"Exactly. I can get them for you if you'd like," Luka said with a smirk, taking a step closer towards Bridge.

"I think I'll take you one on one, thanks." Scipio tackled Luka and pinned his wrists down with his knees, covering Luka's mouth and nose tightly with his hands so he could at least get him to pass out without making any noise.

Luka's eyes widened, but he eventually passed out, sliding to the floor without making so much as a squeak.

Scipio grabbed Luka's keys and key card. "Oh, it's taking a lot of self control to not just snap his neck right now…"
