[Name] slowly walked through the halls in a prisoners uniform, these were the people that were given as live bait or were being tested on after they came into contact with the anomalies; most of the time they come out as a corpse. And because of the lack of response he has on these prisoners, he was able to befriend them and get them to bring him a spare uniform, so [Name] is out now, thanks to Lucian disabling the camera's for a short moment, in the hallways and he needs to try and get past the guards who are patrolling the halls and to also slip past the security cameras.
He knows that many times he almost got caught, [Name] soon found the cafeteria where most of the prisoners were and he blended in seamlessly with the others, and he listened to their conversations. The prisoners weren't wary of him, neither was he of them. [Name] slipped into easy conversation with them on various things.
As he conversed with them, they were all cut off by the sound of sirens blaring and an automated announcement telling the prisoners to go back to their cell and wait for the containment breach to be over. A group guided [Name] into the hallways where their rooms were and they pulled back a poster that had a massive hole, they urged him to crawl out first before following him. Crawling for what seemed like ages, [Name] was starting to tire and feel woozy as the oxygen in the sewer was not fresh by any means. They continued crawling through the sewers until they fell into a local river.
[Name] stumbled further into the water scrubbing himself furiously, ignoring the amused looks he got from the other four. He glared at them, which did nothing but amuse them further.
After a few minutes, [Name] looked up at the sky.
"Where are we?"
"We're in Rosewood. In the country, Walesnianori," answered one of the more younger prisoners.
"Thank you."
[Name] wanted to scream, he's so far away from Akimitsu and Ayano. Looking down into the murky, his reflection stared at him and he stared back.
"Let's get to land before they find us."

A young man sat at his desk, typing away at his laptop when a knock at the door jarred him from his concentrated state.
"Come in."
"Mr Akimitsu, I have the reports here of where your brother was last seen."
Akimitsu glared at the poor secretary, watching the movement of the other, "Anything else you need to report?"
"Your brother has disappeared from the facility. He is on the run currently in Walesnianori, in the rural area, Rosewood."
"Explain why you used the word facility?"
"This is a government organisation where they keep 'anomalies', otherwise known as dangerous entities from all over the world where they try to contain them and keep them away from civilians."
Akimitsu scoffed, "If these so-called entities that need to be kept away from the general population it means that- "
He turned and looked into the eyes of his, terrified, secretary.
"My brother was in the facility... he was tested on."
"Tor-tortured..."
"Dismissed. And schedule any meetings today to another day."
"But one of the people that you are to meet is- "
"Cancel it."
"But-"
"Cancel it. If you don't, he can come to the company, but I won't be here. I am busy," Akimitsu looked at Harold, "Do what you want, you can even go in my steed."
Harold nodded and sighed quietly before backing out of the office. Although his boss was a wilful man he could see the disappearance of his brother was heavily affecting him.
Akimitsu sat quietly in his office, he thumbed the edge of the report Harold had brought to him; his movement was reluctant, and in a way, he was too. The file was decently thick, he had seen these reports before they listed the finding on the so-called anomalies, but they also had the methods of extraction. More often than not, it meant that the "anomalies" went through brutal torture.
He stared at the file for a bit longer; Akimistu gently flicked it open, it was a picture taken by the security camera. [Name] was cuffed to a chair, his head bowed; there was not much else that he could discern from the picture, there was not much, apart from his hair and figure was the only reason why Akimitsu could know that it was him.
Turning the pages, he came across a report of "unusual healing", it detailed how ripping off a limb had shown the scientists that the anomaly, (Akimitsu hated how they referred to him like that as if he was a monster under scrutiny) can grow back any limbs and heal at an exponential rate, like that of SCP-682. Akimistu continued reading through the report for the next 10 minutes before he had enough, the rage he felt was almost tangible. He hated it. He also had questions, many questions. But he would ask them when his brother was safe and healthy again.
He stood up and took a deep breath just as [Name] had taught him. Closing his eyes and enjoyed the silence of his office before storming over to his desk, calling Harold.
"Sir?"
"Prepare a ride for me to go home and then buy two tickets to Walesnianori. Book a hotel in Rosewood."
"Yes, sir. How long for?"
"2 weeks should be sufficient."
"Will do so immediately."
He clicked off the call, Akimistu started packing his essentials and walked out of his office. A determined glint in his eye, his emotions running rampant within his heart.

Ayano talked Luke through the case whilst Lila was off to get hot drinks for all of them, as she was explaining s 19 of the Criminal Justice Act Ayano was cut off by her phone buzzing in her pocket. Excusing herself from the room, she answered it in the hallway.
"Hello? Akimistu, what's wrong?"
"[Name] is alive."
Her heart pounded in her ears and she let out an audible gasp, "What? Where? Is he alright?"
"He was at the containment facility, logged as an anomaly. Do not tell anyone."
"Where?"
"Walesnianori, Rosewood. I am at Vivian Airport getting the 22:07 plane."
She looked at Luke and Lila who were watching her with undisguised interest, "I won't be able to go with. But, please, keep me updated."
"Will do."
