The Shades Of Killers

Chapter 12

"But miss, criminal 227 is under extremely heavy security and Founder James said tha—"

I harshly grabbed the Watchman's collar, lifting the scrawny guard way up above the ground, "Luiza James also said that you are required to obey every command I give. Listen kid, you clearly don't understand the concept of 'Let me in immediately'. I am Sinner Raven, I'm gonna guess you've heard of me before?" I dropped the poor, quivering prison guard.

"Now let me ask again. Will you kindly, let me in? IMMEDIATELY?!" I asked in a sickeningly sweet tone.

The guard stood up, still shivering. He rapidly typed a few numbers on the glowing red key pad on the door, I memorized it. '2168198752550' I took a mental note about the code, reminding myself to not forget it, for it might be useful for the future. (Oh boy do you see the foreshadowing?) Then, a piece of the door popped out, revealing a metal drawer. The guard reached in the drawer and took out a key card, he swiped it three times each on the top left corner of the door, top right corner and bottom left corner. Top left corner being first and so on. Like that, the handle-less door slid open.

"Thanks kid. Last thing, don't try anything."

The guard looked confused.

"Loaded statement, Lissy." I said, emotionless. (OUR called people that worked for MALICE 'Lissies')

I strode right past him, going in the door, still keeping my eyes locked on the kid, until I reached a turn and I couldn't see him anymore. I walked past loads and loads of crystal clear cells made of Oloscapium. (Oloscapium is a glass-like material that is completely sound proof and impact proof in any circumstances. Oloscapium is seven times stronger than Tungsten: The strongest Metal on Earth and two times heavier than Osmium: The heaviest metal on Earth. P.S. This material is made up by ME. It doesn't actually exist. But the facts about Tungsten and Osmium are true, I'm trying to make this book educational.) I looked to both sides, looking for any sign of Nathan. I walked about 800 meters in, I found a cell where about five men were gathering around it. This is it. I thought. I walked up to one of the guards and put on my famous poker face,

"Let me in Nathan Creecion's cell."

"Hey who do you think you are woman?" The guard scoffed.

"Oh really. The second time today? Has Luiza James not told anyone about me? Oh dear, I guess I shall introduce myself then." I faked a sarcastic hurt expression. "I am Raven. One of the sinners, well kind of 'The Only Sinner' now you know, since William had to die on me. Ok we're getting off topic here. Will you open his cell door?"

The guards look slightly convinced.

"Ok... Do you want the truth... Well..." I pretended to let my guard down, (no pun intended) faked tears in my eyes, acting to be in misery.

"I am Raven. N-Nathan... " I stopped for a moment and choked out a light sob. "Sorry. Nathan... He is my boyfriend... Or rather, was... We met four years ago in this community, I was never one to believe in love at first sight you know... But yet we fell deeply in love with each other within the first day we met. " I continued, leaning my back against the cell and sliding to the cold floor. "Then... He, he lied to me and... I really don't know what I should do... Everything was going so well then, He worked with MALICE? This seems... All so fast." I broke down into a full sob. "Y-you know, I d-don't believe t-that he didn't care... In the slightest bit... I-I... I don't want to believe that... He didn't love me... I really want to find out the truth... I-I just wanna talk to him, just once more, p-please..."

The guards all seemed very touched by my heartache, they were all frowning, and two of them even had tears flowing down their cheeks. One of the guards, the one crying the most came to me and held out a hand.
