Orange Islands

[Al Duit]

"I'll look on one side, and you can look on the other." I suggest to Rey. I begin walking down the corridor with cells on both sides, looking to my right at each of the inhabitants. Some are asleep, some are awake.

Those who were awake had varying attitudes, from indifferent to hostile. I spoke to none of them, and ignored the one who glared menacingly at me while growling, "What are you looking at, punk?"

I saw a couple of the people who shot at us, but not the one who spoke with Rey.

 

[Kogenta]

Rey strode quietly through the jail hall, his cold gaze freezing into silence any who threatened an obscene remark. No sign of him yet . . . The trainer paused at a jail cell, staring intently at a shadowed figure that slouched at the far wall. After a long moment of silence, Rey commanded, "You in the back . . . come forward."

"Make me," came an ill-tempered reply.

The voice seems familiar enough. I'd say that's him. Rey turned his head slightly--not raising his voice, but allowing it to echo through the cement passage. "Alex, I believe I've found the man we're searching for."

 

[Al Duit]

I made my way back towards Rey, when I saw him speak in the direction of a cell he'd paused at. "Make me," I heard the reply, and I froze in my tracks. It's him!

I immediately got confirmation when Rey turned his head toward me. "Alex, I believe I've found the man we're searching for."

I walk quickly to Rey's side and look in the cell, and see a man slouching in the shadows towards the back. "What's your name?"

"What's yours?" The man shot back in a surly tone.

I turn to look down the hall towards the mayor and Officer Jenny. "We found him." I didn't have to raise my voice much, because noises carried in this place.

 

[pokejungle]

The mayor strode over to the three men.

"So...do you need anymore assistance? Should I just wait?"

Ken'ichi looked questioningly at them.

 

[Kogenta]

Staring intently at the man at the cell's back, Rey said, "If we could have permission to have a private conference with this convict, it would be appreciated." He briefly glanced toward Officer Jenny and Mayor Ken'ichi before returning his gaze to the prisoner. I feel so close to finding the answers I've been searching for all these years . . . I cannot allow this opportunity to escape me.

 

[pokejungle]

"That's fine. Officer Jenny, please escort these men to the Interogation Room."

Officer Jenny glanced at the men and back at the mayor, "Sure...right this way please!"

She cuffed the man in question and led him out of the jail cell...and down the back corridor.

 

[Al Duit]

I stuff my hands in the pockets of my shorts as I follow along. I feel so tense and nervous, knowing that I may finally know what happened when I was a kid. My nervousness makes my stomach keep growling, but I ignore it.

I glance over at Rey, wondering if he was as tense as I was.

 

[Kogenta]

Rey nodded at the mayor before starting toward the interrogation room after Officer Jenny and the prisoner. Though he noticed Alex glance nervously toward him, his gaze remained on the hall ahead of him. Years of practice allowed his expression to remain cold and calm. However, he felt uncharacteristically tense as his consciousness began directing itself toward a single subject--drawing answers from the convict. As they approached the interrogation room, an unyielding, icy light entered Rey's silver eyes. Whatever it takes, I'll get my answers.

 

[Al Duit]

Woa, I wouldn't want to be the prisoner right now, I think as I see the look in Rey's eyes. But then, the prisoner is probably used to stuff like that. He didn't seem the type to be easily shaken. Though, a cornered lone mightyenna might do the same type of snarling this guy did to cover it's nervousness.We enter the interrogation room, and Officer Jenny has the prisoner sit at the table. "I'll be just on the other side of that glass, observing." She tells us as she closes the door behind her.

"I'm not talking to nobody without my lawyer!"

 

[Kogenta]

Glancing at Officer Jenny as she left the room, Rey turned calmly to the prisoner. A faint, almost sweet smile crossed his features as he spoke in a voice audible only to those in the room. "'Not talk to nobody'? Tsk, it seems your grammar is left in wanting. No matter though, I am quite sure you will speak with me." Leaning forward toward the convict, the trainer continued, "Officer Jenny may be watching, but it will take her at least four seconds to enter this room. I only need half of that to make you wish you were never born."

Suddenly straightening, the smile vanished from Rey's features, though his voice retained its dangerous level of calm. "So, let's begin with something simple. What's you name?"

The prisoner spat contemptuously before falling into a stubborn silence. Slowly circling the table until he was behind the convict, Rey's silver eyes shone with biting cold as he said, "Spitting's a nasty habit. I was going to break one of your fingers for every question you refused to answer, but that's too commonplace. Maybe it will discourage you from spitting if I removed a tooth for every question you won't give the proper reply to."

"You wouldn't . . . ," the prisoner mumbled rebelliously.

"Wrong," Rey replied, his voice harsh. Then, shifting his voice to a lighter tone, he added, "You know, if I remove your teeth for the questions you don't answer, that means you'll be able to not answer more questions before I slit your throat. At least you have that little ray of light." The trainer's eyes shimmered dangerously as he added, "So, now, what was your name?"

The convict's eyes narrowed as he hissed a reply. "Jurran."

 

[Al Duit]

Rey's demeanor sends chills up my spine. I wouldn't want to make him angry. "So, Youran." I deleberately mispronounce the name as I sit cross-legged on the table in front of where he's sitting. I put my face in his. "You seem to know us. How?"

 

[pokejungle]

OOC: Sorry I haven't posted everyone =/

BIC:
The mayor stood outside the room with Officer Jenny. Everthing that was said was directly fed into the room. Each and every word was magnified for them.

"You...think we should step in?" Officer Jenny hesitated.

"If it gets violent, yes. I have no intention of letting a prisoner get his teeth pulled. Otherwise we'll have no involvement yet." The mayor looked fairly certain the current interegation was going to go well.

"We'll just wait and see..." Ken'ichi trailed off.

OOC: Don't leave!!!! ;;

And ya, Cebe has been kicked out...don't worry. And I'm really sorry about your computer =/ But if you leave...you'll be greatly missed. :'(

 

[Al Duit]

OOC: I'm sorry to hear about your computer troubles, Shadow Wolf. I'll miss you.

 

[Kogenta]

[OOC: I see, Shadow Wolf. I am sorry. Take care.]

"I dunno what yer talkin' about," Jurran replied to Alex, averting his gaze.

Lowering his voice until it neared a whisper, Rey spoke. "Lying isn't healthy."

After casting a glance toward Rey's icy eyes, the prisoner turned toward Alex and blurted, "Sure you guys seem familiar enough. But, I don't even know if it was you!"

Though his expression remained calm, Rey felt his patience lessening as his focus grew stronger. "Get to the point," the trainer commanded, his voice low and tense.

"Well, it was pretty long ago and stuff . . . " Jurran's voice fell to a mumble.

Forcing himself to hold his temper, Rey prompted him, "Was it on this island?"

"Yeah, I think so . . . It was kinda weird, though, you know?"

"No."

Rubbing a slightly grimy hand against his head, a confused expression passed over the convict's face. "I keep tellin' myself it was a dream and stuff . . . I knew it was too weird. I mean, this ain't the type of stuff anyone could forget--'specially you two."

Rey's eyes narrowed. "Just spit it out."

"Well . . . ," the prisoner said slowly, as though attempting to recall an event from many years ago. "I was in the woods--been runnin' from cops for years." He laughed, adding, "Guess I'm not as good at it as I used to be. Anyway, that was when I saw you two." Here he indicated Rey and Alex. "I was tryin' to sneak past you all quiet-like--didn't want no trouble form the locals. Could've gotten arrested if they knew I was at the island. You looked like you were busy playing some type of game, so I thought it'd be pretty easy to get by unnoticed. But . . . that was when I saw it." Jurran shivered slightly. "You guys went all wavy-like. Pretty hard to explain. But, it was like you were there, but were more like a mirage or sumthin'."

"A mirage?" Rey echoed quietly.

"Yeah . . . And there was a kinda shadow thingy. All of a sudden you two weren't playin' no more. And, these red eyes were staring at me from the shadow. Then, both of you turn toward me. Yer friend here started toward me," Jurran said to Alex, motioning toward Rey. "Fer a moment you paused, all surprised-like, and moved in front of him. After that . . . black. Next thing I know, I wake up with a bunch of cops standin' three yards away." At this point, the convict's eyes were closed as he relived his memories. After a pause, he opened his eyes and looked from one person to the other. "Sorry, s'all I know."

Rey stepped toward him, his voice grim. "Is it?"

The man glanced nervously at Alex, swiftly adding, "Yeah, honest! What're you gettin' so worked up about? And how come you're askin' me? You should know more'n I do."

Struggling to control himself, Rey slowly stepped back. Closing his silver eyes to hide their frozen light, he spoke quietly. "I see then . . . thank you."

[pokejungle]

OOC: =/ Well...I'd rather have bad grammar than see a friend go ;;

BIC:

"Wow... " The mayor just stood, frozen to the spot.

"What do you think really happened? Is the prisoner telling an accurate story?" Officer Jenny looked hesitant and quizzical. Her voice conveyed her mistrust of criminals.

"We'll have to talk to Rey and Al about this," The mayor started for the door, "Come'on officer. I think it's time Jurran got back to his cell."

 

[Al Duit]

OOC: I agree with Katsuro. I'm willing to put up with bad spelling and grammar for awhile.

BIC: Not knowing what to think of Jurran's story, I get off the table and stand over him. I lean over with one hand on the table and one hand on the back of the chair Jurran was sitting on, and look him in the eyes. I ignore the pain in my shoulder.

"You mean, you're not the one who hit me on the back of the head and left me for dead?"

 

[pokejungle]

Ken'ichi opened the door to the conference room.

"Sorry to intrude...I was wondering how much time you needed about. If you need more than 15 minutes, it'd be best I left you in Officer Jenny's care and headed back to my office. Then you could just stop by my office later, or we could meet for dinner," He looked questioningly at Al and Rey.
