Domino looked down at the two incapacitated guards. She had to time it so that the camera's rotated away from her cell while the deed was done. Zero managed to find his way into the hall camera and fix the footage in that one. Domino looked down at herself and frowned.

"Can't believe I'm in a cop uniform. Oh well," she sighed, putting on the sunglasses from the female officer.

"That didn't take too long," Zero spoke up, getting a grin from Domino.

"It shouldn't come as a surprise. These cops were small-time. Now, how do you plan to cover my tracks? The officer that the Warden has watching the cameras is bound to know something's up," Domino replied.

"Trust me, you'll have enough time. But before you make your exit, there's one last thing you need to get," Zero added.

"If you mean my Black Tulip, I am so in," Domino grinned. "So where is it?"

"It's in the security vault which is in the Warden's office."

"Oh hell..." Domino grumbled, turning towards the exit.

"No worries, I have a plan. Well, several, but this one is the least risky," Zero responded, going silent for a moment.

"Okay, you might want to cover your ears. Whatever you do, make it look convincing that you're a cop," Zero stated.

"I didn't grab the cuffs for nothing," Domino smirked.

"Good, because your window off opportunity opens in three...two...one..."

At that moment, every cell door opened up. Several prisoners who were still awake were startled by this. The only time the doors opened was if it was time for recreation or food. One prisoner stepped out and soon a few others as well. Meanwhile, the officer watching all of this immediately jumped up and sounded the alarm.

"We have a 10-98! I repeat, we have a 10-98! Officer, get moving!" The officer shouted into Domino's radio.

The prisoners went into a panic. Domino took that as her queue to play the part. Arceus this guy is good, Domino thought as she stood between the prisoners and the exit.

Before too long, backup had arrived and Domino was beginning to piece together the rest of the plan because the Warden was right there with his Houndoom.

Okay, he's REALLY good, Domino chuckled inwardly, watching as the prisoners backed away from the beast before them.

Houndoom had a sleek looking coat. That was a testament to whoever bred it. That hound was in a class of his own. She remembered how powerful he was and knew that this was going to be tricky. She was towards the back of the crowd of officers when she realized something. Her door was shut. That's when it hit her. Her door didn't open up automatically.

Okay, now he's just showing off. Has he done this before?

Her eyes shifted to the Warden and then the Houndoom. It clicked concerning why she hadn't been sniffed out yet. She was wearing another officer's clothes and that officer's scent was all over her. Mix that with the scent in the air and it would be hard to pinpoint who she was. She looked behind herself to see the door was ajar. Utilizing her stealth training, she easily slid out of the room and was down the hall and around the corner before she spoke again.

"I have to hand it to you Zero, that was brilliant. Remind me to thank you when I get out," Domino said with a grin.

"I'll look forward to it. Right now, it's a pleasure to be speaking to you," Zero remarked.

"You mean an honor," Domino added.

"Don't push the envelope."

"A little late there bud," Domino smirked.
