The days had turned into weeks, and the demons were growing weary of their life on the streets. Despite their best efforts to remain inconspicuous, the authorities were closing in. The incident with Dial had left a trail that was difficult to erase, and the unusual descriptions of the perpetrators made them stand out.

It was a cool, clear morning when the inevitable happened. Blitzø, Moxxie, and Millie were cautiously moving through the alleys, on their way to a less frequented part of town where they hoped to find some food. Unbeknownst to them, their every move was being monitored.

The Australian government had been conducting a discreet yet extensive investigation into the strange sightings and the hit-and-run incident. They had finally traced the demons' movements and set a trap to capture them.

As the demons turned a corner into a seemingly deserted alley, they were suddenly surrounded by a squad of heavily armed dog agents. The alley's exits were blocked, and there was no escape.

"Hands in the air! Don't move!" one of the agents shouted, his voice firm and authoritative.

Blitzø, Moxxie, and Millie froze, their eyes wide with shock and fear. They had no choice but to comply. Slowly, they raised their hands, their minds racing with thoughts of escape and survival.

"What do you want from us?" Blitzø demanded, his voice shaking with a mix of anger and fear.

"You're under arrest," the lead agent replied. "You're coming with us for questioning and testing."

Moxxie's eyes narrowed. "Testing? What kind of testing?"

"That's classified," the agent said curtly. "Move out, now."

The demons were roughly handcuffed (barely) and escorted into a heavily fortified van. As the doors slammed shut, they exchanged worried glances. The van's interior was dimly lit, and the air was thick with tension.

"This is bad," Moxxie muttered, his voice barely a whisper.

"We'll get through this," Blitzø said, trying to sound confident. "We've faced worse before."

Millie's eyes were filled with determination. "We'll find a way out. We always do."

The van drove for what felt like hours, eventually arriving at a high-security facility on the outskirts of town. The demons were led through a series of sterile, white-walled corridors, the atmosphere growing increasingly oppressive with each step.

They were separated and placed in individual cells, each one equipped with observation cameras and reinforced doors. The walls were white, ceiling white, everything white.

Blitzø paced his cell, his mind racing. He couldn't see or communicate with Moxxie and Millie, and the isolation was maddening. He knew they needed a plan, but with their powers diminished and their movements monitored, options were limited.

Days turned into a blur of interrogations and invasive tests. Scientists in lab coats poked and prodded, asking endless questions about their origins, abilities, and the incident that led to their capture. The demons answered as little as possible, their spirits tested but unbroken.

One evening, after another grueling session, Blitzø was returned to his cell. Exhausted, he slumped against the wall, trying to gather his thoughts. The silence was heavy, broken only by the distant hum of machinery.

Then, in the stillness, he heard a faint tapping. It was coming from the adjacent cell—Moxxie's cell. Blitzø's head lifted slightly. They had devised a rudimentary code during their interrogations, a way to communicate despite their separation.

"Plan?" Blitzø tapped out, his fingers drumming against the cold metal wall.

"Work on it," came the faint reply from Moxxie.

Blitzø closed his eyes, drawing strength from the connection. They weren't beaten yet. As long as they had each other, they had hope. Blitz never thought he would think that tbh.

Meanwhile, Millie, in her own cell, was doing the same. She tapped out messages, reassuring Moxxie and Blitzø that they would find a way to reunite and escape. Her determination never wavered, even in the face of the relentless testing and questions.

The days ahead would be challenging, but the demons were resilient. They had been in Hell itself, and they would survive this. United by their bond and their unwavering resolve, they silently vowed to escape their captors and find a way back to the world they knew. they hoped.

For now, they endured, biding their time and conserving their strength. The Australian government might have captured them, but they hadn't broken them. And deep down, the demons knew that their chance for freedom would come. They just had to be ready when it did.
