        I walked as fast as I could to the Main Building, it was only about a ten minute walk but it only to me five at the pace I was walking at. I knew how to lie, I'm quite good at it, I just don't do it often. I knew that saving all those opportunities to lie would benefit me in the future, and that time was now. 

        Step One, get in; I did this by simply sliding my key card, thankfully no questions we asked.This was greatly appreciated. Step Two, give a reason to get access to the Prison Level,this only required a slight lie. I just stated that I had wanted to double check with the questions and see if I could get any additional information out of him. Step Three, tell Jasper the plan, no lying required, I might even be able to gain access to the interrogation room again. The only problem, I had to do it without cameras hearing or seeing it and there was only one interrogation room with that set up, and I wasn't sure if I would be able to access it, but I knew that I had to try.

        Step three was harder, I had to get into the interrogation room. I expected questions but apparently I had just reached the clearance level where it was allowed. Surprised I went to collect Jasper. He looked so peaceful until the door made a high pitched noise when it became unlocked. He looked up and tilted his head. 

        "It cant be tomorrow already? Not that I'm not ready it's just I never know that time passed so quickly when you don't care." He said slowly getting up.

        Rolling my eyes I responded, "No I just have some more questions." I said the words in a serious tone because of the cameras and the guard standing next to the cell. Jasper looked surprised and then a look of understanding and then nothing, I suddenly envied that ability. I don't know if it was because I was a girl but I was always emotional. I beckoned him over to the door and placed to cuffs on his hands. The guard looked at me and asked if I needed help but I just said no I just needed to get some bad day energy out, which wasn't a complete lie.

        Bringing Jasper to the room I took off the cuffs, he rubbed his wrists since I hadn't taken time to realize how tight they where. "Sorry about those."

        "It's fine, I just want to know what you realized? What made you change your ideals, especially so quickly."Jasper yawned causing me to, he then walked around the room and leaned against the wall looking light he could've pulled out a cigarette and started smoking.

        I sighed, it took me a minute to gather the courage to say it.  "Your right, this place is corrupted, I also have a feeling that government had something with my parents'death." When I mentioned my parents Jasper looked intrigued. He got up and walked closer.

     "What is your last name?" He had walked so close, only about six inches between us. My body screamed but I couldn't think about that right now, I had to answer. But he was asking for my original surname, one I haven't heard since my parents were still here, because when the government took me in they stripped my identity.

     I thought for a few minutes, "Well my current one is Dunn, but if I can reach the memory, it was, give me a minute," the room was completely silent except for the sound of our soft breathing. "Adams!" I yelled out.

     "Damn, your real name must be Madeline, Madeline Adams!" Jasper looked like he had just found the Holy Grail. "You have one hell of a reputation, both in this hell hole and among our city. But I did know your parents, they had been my mentors. It's a disappointment they died for real 5 years ago in a massacre."

     I was pissed when he called me Madeline, I had known that name forever but it was never used, not even on my ID card. "First I stated, I hate the name Madeline, it makes me sound little. Number two my time is going to be up soon so," I tried to get out but then there was a buzz on my radio that hung from my belt.

    "Dunn, come in Dunn" it crackled.

     "What is it?" I said in return holding a finger to Jasper and taking a few steps away.

     "I was told to inform you that the the Wolf is scheduled to be executed tomorrow." I took me a minute to process. "Dunn? Are you still there? Did you get the message?"

     "Yes, sorry, wasn't the Wolf  to wait until the day after the celebration?" This was all getting to confusing.

     "Well tomorrow is when we will be introducing the new act and some of the higher ups figure it would just be easier to control the population if we did it in front of everyone. Also, the other four will also be informed their services will be needed tomorrow. Dispatch out." It crackled off before I could ask anymore questions.

     "I guess I get to die brutally in front of hundreds of people." He said like it was no big deal while I was walking back toward him. "It was a pleasure being able to meet the famous Madeline." Jasper bent down into a bow. Laughing but mad that he called me Madeline I pushed him over.

     "That's for calling me Madeline. One, the plan was never to kill you, I'm getting you out, but in return your bringing me back to your city. Which means I'll get you out in the morning. There are a few guards at the West gate that will do anything for some quick cash. That means we are leaving at 4:30am. Two, I still have to kinda beat you up to make it look like I was productive." I put my hand out to help him up, grabbing it I. Pulled him to his feet. He was okay with it and after about ten blows he looked legit.

     When I pushed him back into his cell the guard took a look at him, "looks good Mez. Hey, did you hear about the act that's going into effect?"

     "No not really, only that he's going to be executed to keep the peace, so it must be something big that they need death to keep peace." I wondered how big it was.

     "Apparently they're starting to strip identities. They are staring with civilians, apparently the soldiers will all keep their's but still, there is going to be an uproar but I heard something about you having to make this one suffer before he dies and just let him bleed out. Its rough." Looking at Jasper he didn't look effected, he still looked reserved and quiet.

        Step Four, get out without any questions being asked, surely there might be one or two but its almost midnight and no body was very nosy since they would all rather be sleeping. Which was true, but the easier part was over. Finally, Step Five, execute the final plan.
