Adam wakes up in a panic. He has found himself tied to a bed with chains. He feels surges of pain throughout his head, as if there's bombs constantly going off. Adam has many, many questions about what happened last night. His mind is racing many different ways, where am I, how did i get here, who was that, what was that. Adam struggles to get out, but none of his attempts benefit him, they just make his head throb and pain more than before.
A little time goes by but Adam can't tell how much. the clock stays the same at 12:30. He hears the guard in the room mutter "Finally my shifts done, damn clock needs to be fixed." As the guard leaves Snow walks in and doesn't realize Adam is chained to the bed. Adam yells weakly "Snow, help." Snow then rushes over to Adam and asks "What happened Adam!" as he stares in horror of the blood coming out of Adam's eyes,ears, and nose. Snow unchains him and rest him against the wall, Adam comes out of his daze. Snow asks again "What happened!", Adam replies "Everything was gone, i saw him, the shadow, he yelled my name." Snow replies "You can't say any of that aloud, they'll take you down to the mental ward." "But look at my shoulder then yours.". Adam then slowly looks at Snow's shoulder as he reveals this tattoo that reminded him of a phoenix. Snow then points to Adam's shoulder. Adam slowly looks over to his right shoulder and there's the same tattoo going from his shoulder down to the right side of his chest, Adam not knowing where this mark is from starts to panic. Snow tries to calm him down but as soon as he clams down Adam Snow tells Adam to get back on the table CaulderVilt is coming. Snow gets Adam onto the table in just the nick of time as soon as the sliding bulletproof doors open there he was. Bruno CaulderVilt, it was rare for a experiment to see him in person, CaulderVilt's tall brooding physique screamed tyranny and horror. Adam gets frightened and worried of what this new person might do. Snow straightens his posture. There was silence but not a good one. All you could hear was the loud stepping of CaulderVilt's boots. Thump, thump. CaulderVilt walks up to where Adam lay. He asks Snow "Is this the one?" Snow replies "Yes it is." CaulderVilt then says with a grin "So you're the one that created all that havoc in cell block 2C, you managed to break the glass, crack the wall, and your bed looks like a truck hit it. I guess you're not a fail then after all. I take that back you're still a failure just somewhat a good one." Cauldervilt walks out of the room and chuckles on his way out. Snow eases his posture and unstraps and unchains Adam. "Snow, what the hell are you doing? "Getting you the hell out of here." Snow starts to prep him for transport he put on halo-cuffs on Adam hesitantly and says in a stern voice "Move it 517" then he whispers under his voice "I'm sorry". A fellow guard of a higher rank, Joe Johns confronts Snow in the middle of his transport. "Hey! What the hell are you doing with K-517?" Snow "I'm taking him for early transport back to his cell." Johns replies "You look new around here... show me your ID." As Snow hands Johns the ID, snow looks at Adam with a confusing face, johns thoroughly inspects the badge then hands it back to Snow. "Carry on, get this abomination out of my presence." Snow brings Adam to the cell. Snow says to Adam "I'll be back as soon as I can." CaulderVilt called Snow to his office over the loud speaker. NO one gets called down to the office. Unless they're in trouble most of them don't come back. Snow got worried, a face of fright covered his used to be warming face. Which is now gone.
Later that night, a sudden surge of motivation came over Adam a surge to get up to... do something, Adam couldn't calm down, so he decided to turn that energy into working out. Adam ended up hurting his ankle, but nothing bad. Adam after a while started to wonder where Snow had been, hasn't seen him on patrol where Adams cell was on the route, Adam then started to wonder about the marking on his shoulder, how it got there, who gave it to him and why its there.. A bunch of questions he could not answer. After Around twenty to thirty minutes of fright that the figure would re appear Adam finally fell asleep.
