•This chapter has some parts that contain blood and knife wounds. Noting super graphic, but still in the chapter nevertheless. Heads up if you are not comfortable with that•

I am led to a cell in Kryptarium by two police officers. The walk seems far, as I drag my feet, slowly walking. The handcuffs are tight, and digging into my wrists. I can't find the words to tell them because of how much shock I am in. I was just with Lloyd. We were just watching the fireworks. He was just helping me walk. We had just kissed. And now, I am being led to a prison cell.

We pass through two sets of security doors, and finally into the row of jail cells. It's quiet.

"We're putting you in your own wing of Kryptarium." The one police officer says as him and his co-worker stop in front of a cell, unlocking the door.

"We want to separate you from the rest of the Sons of Garmadon." The second officer says in a harsh tone. I bite my cheek, trying not to cry. It was difficult being treated like this. I was not used to
it.

I step into the cell and they remove my handcuffs. I rub my wrists, trying to ease the pain. The officers lock the cell and I am left alone.

I take a look at my surroundings. A dark, cold cell. And I was alone. No one to talk to, no one to hug me. No one. No Lloyd. I walk over to the far corner of the cell and slide by back down the wall, and crumpling into a heap on the ground, holding my knees to my chest. Tears start running down my face, and falling to the cold stone floor of the cell.

Once again in my life, I felt completely alone. Helpless. There was nothing I could do to get myself out of this situation that I created in the first place. I got what I deserved for all the terrible things that I had done in my lifetime.

I cry out, and slam my fist on the ground. Why? I just wanted a second chance. A chance to prove myself to the world. I wanted to change, and I had, but life was making it impossible for me. I wanted to scream, and cry out that it wasn't fair and that I had changed, but instead, tears and muffled sobs are all that I could muster at that moment.

•Lloyd•

Nya and I ran out of Harumi's room, on our way to tell the others about our chance of getting Harumi out of Kryptarium.

"Guys!" I say out of breath as I find them in the base below the monastery. "Nya and I found a way to get Harumi back!"

The solemn mood is suddenly gone as questions start being thrown around. Nya holds up her hand and starts to explain.

"Our testimony alone is legally not enough to get her out of Kryptarium, but Lloyd and I remembered something from when you were all stuck in The Relm of Oni and Dragon." She walks over to the large computer for the base, pulling up a map.

"This building, " She says zooming into an outline of a tower on the big screen. "Is the building that collapsed with Harumi on it. Lloyd and I were standing on top of this building." She says zooming into a different building. "Lloyd and I remember seeing Harumi from where we are standing, helping a family out the fire escape."

"That proves she had a change of heart!" Jay says jumping up. "Smart Nay!" He says smiling.

Nya smiles back and continues. "Now if we can just get access the security cameras from the building that day. They have to still be saved to the master system, even though the building was destroyed. Zane, can you tap into the system and get the tapes from that day?"
