Three Months Later

The chapter begins in a lone jail cell with Oscar laying on a cot facing away from the cell door, playing shadow puppets with the sunlight coming in the adjacent window.

"You overlooked one little detail, didn't you, partner?" Oscar spoke with his right hand, intimidating Mercury

"What?!" Oscar's left hand said, using his normal voice.

"Face it, genius. You've been played." Oscar's right hand responded.

"Oh really?" Oscar's left question, which turned into a gun. He makes a gunshot sound and imitates Mercury dying.

Yuma burst out laughing. "It's only been three months and he's finally losing it."

"Consider this a punishment for him teaming up with Mercury in the first place." Adam said.

Suddenly, footsteps are heard outside the cell and a shadow appears on the wall, blocking and interrupting the puppeteering.

"Hey, jackass, you're ruining the show here!" Oscar said, annoyed.

"Well damn, I thought you'd be glad to see me!" A familiar voice joked that the audience recognized.

Oscar recognized it too as he turns around and sees his old friend, Ozpin, in a light-green button-down shirt and tan pants.  His face beams as he runs to the bars. "Oz!"

"Ozpin is back!" Ruby exclaimed, happily.

"Thank god." Jaune said, relieved.

Ozpin smiles, chuckling. "I really can't leave you alone for a minute."

Oscar chuckled. "Man, am I glad to see you."

"How ya doin', kid?" Ozpin asked him.

"Ah, just great." Oscar replied.

Weiss shook her head. "Not really. It's been three months and you're already losing your mind by playing shadow puppets."

"He's probably using it to keep himself occupied." Neptune assumed. "I'm surprised he isn't going totally insane."

A guard unlocks the cell door and walks off. 

"I had to grease a few palms, go through the rest of your money and a good chunk of my own. But, hey!" Ozpin explained as he walks in Oscar's jail cell. 

The two of them shared a quick hug before Ozpin had to pull away due to Oscar's smell. "Geez, you stink!"

"He's been in prison for months. Cut him some slack." Yang said, shrugging.

Oscar smiles. "Yeah, not half as bad as that cigar. Hey, how'd you find me?"

"That's a good question. How DID Ozpin find him?" Blake asked, curious.

"Well, a friend of yours asked for my help." Ozpin answered.

"A friend?? Who??" Ruby questioned, confused.

To the audience shocked, Blake appears in the cell door. "Hello, Oscar."

"Blake?!" Yang questioned, shocked. "What is she doing here?!" 

"Oh, no... No!" Oscar protested, skeptical of seeing her again.

"Now just wait a sec-" Ozpin tried to explain but Oscar talks over him.

"Oz, kick her out and shut the door. We're safer in here." Oscar said, taking a step back from Blake.

"Just wait a goddamn minute and hear her out." Ozpin said with a stern expression.
