Driving up to the Prison, Mr Peterson took in deep breath and got out of the car with Alexander and Charlotte.
"Let's find her."

"Excuse me."
The guard looked up,"Ah, Mr Peterson.", Mr Peterson holds up a picture of Trinity,"Did Trinity Blades come in here alone? I'm here with her parents.", The Guard turned to them, concerned as a realisation hits him,"Wait-. . . She told us her parents were already here and waiting for her!", Mr Peterson nods, realising how far she went.
So the Guard rushed to get them entry.
"We should have done a better job. . . It's gonna be the incident all over again."
Mr Peterson turned to them,"Don't be too mad at her; We have to know her reasons for why she lied and stole.", Charlotte and Alexander nod, trying to keep calm as the guard let them in.

"Trinity!"
Her dad fell to his knees, pulling his daughter close to him,"We were so worried!", "Ah the Blades. . . And Mr Peterson.", last Mr Peterson saw of Gorden, he remembered an angry man being shoved into the back of the police car, bloody mess from being beat.
Now, his beard was more long, unkept, bad circles under his eyes and no longer was he wearing a suit that screamed power or demanded respect; An orange jumpsuit.
"Gordon.
"You look well, stopped working for horrible people and stopped being a doormat, how's The Banner and Norman?"
Mr Peterson glared daggers at him.
"Last I saw him, he was barely holding onto his consciousness."
Mr Peterson shook his head,"You don't have a right to ask about him, why did Trinity come to you?", Gordon leaned against the wall,"She came about Crowface; Seems like you've met it and it's now playing it's game.", Mr Peterson glared, Charlotte walked up to the cell, next to Mr Peterson,"So that's what you meant then? That wasn't you being a lunatic.", Gordon nods,"Mhm; I knew it was only a matter time before Crowface was released and the remaining members doing their job, if they know what's good for them; Shame Valeria died, she was a loyal member.", Peterson and Charlotte glared at him, Alexander looked up,"Valeria?! She was one of them?!", Gordon nods,"Yeah, I'll admit that now she's dead, don't know why Crowface killed her, but. . . I did hear she was going to be fired, so we'd have no use for her.", Peterson sighed, some part of him was surprised but, another part of him wasn't.
"You know how it goes, Mr Peterson; Someone must fall, in order for another sore."
. . .
"No. . . Not this time. It's different this time. . . I can't explain it, but; I dunno, but how can I trust the word of you."
A man that was the ringleader in this cult, the man that helped in the murder of his parents, nearly killed Ike, tortured Norman and nearly killed them all in The Theme Park.
Gordon grabbed the bars, looking at Trinity,"And you, you seem to be it's main target; Wonder if you'll fall back into your habits from your old hometown, you're a obsessive little monster.", Charlotte turned red in rage, stepping between his sight and her daughter,"Don't you call my daughter a monster! How do you even know about that?!", Gordon pointed to himself, his smile full of insanity,"I worked for the Banner.", Mr Peterson glared at him,"If she's a monster, what does that make you.", Gordon smiled at Peterson,"What I am. . . That's a different story, but you sure are playing a dangerous game with Crowface.", Mr Peterson took a deep breath, stepping away,"I'll take my chances, I'm not trusting a word of a man that nearly killed us all for 'Luck' and 'Immortality'.", to that, Gordon grabbed the bars and got closer as Mr Peterson and Charlotte jumped back, Trinity flinching.
"Theodore. . . Theodore. . . Theodore. . ."
His voice, sickly sweet, insanity and not to even mention his smile.
"If only you knew. . . How close we were, how close we were to Immortality."
Mr Peterson shook his head, he was long gone. . . Though, he admit Gordon was always a horrible man, though now he was a monster of man that's gone more insane in jail.
"Let's go. . ."
Charlotte nods, her husband and daughter leaving with Mr Peterson.
"Good luck with Crowface's game! You'll need it!"
Trinity shuddered as Gordon laughed.

Alexander shuddered,"I never thought a man would lose it more.", Mr Peterson nods, Charlotte turned to Trinity who had her eyes glued to the pavement.
"Now Trinity. . . What promoted you to steal from The Banner, lie and come here?"
. . .
Trinity couldn't hold it back, tears beginning to stream down her face.
"I-. . . I just wanted to protect you all. . .! Crowface is after me, *hic*, not you!. . . I feel like, if I stay around everyone; I'll put you in danger! And I-*sniffle*, I wanted to fix this on my own. . .!"
Trinity wiped her tears with sleeves, her nose running and unable to stop crying.
Alexander knelt down, holding his daughter close and rubbed her back,"Oh dear. . . I see and understand what you were thinking, but as your parents, we want to protect you from these horrible people.", Mr Peterson nods,"Trinity, a piece of advice; If you're in danger, never keep it to yourself and try and fix it on your own.", Trinity nods, her eyeshadow running and being destroyed, seeing it on her white sleeves.
"We're going to solve this and stop them, I promise."
Mr Peterson sighed,"I'll be sure to end this.", Alexander nods, Charlotte pats Mr Peterson's shoulder,"It's not your fault Sir, these people go after anyone; And we'll take them down just like back in The Theme Park.", Charlotte turned to Trinity,"But understand: You're grounded.", Trinity nods, she deserved that as they got into Mr Peterson's Car.
