The officers took Brooke's handcuffs off and escorted her out of the prison towards an awaiting car. Axel stayed close to her, watching to see how an order from the highest ranked officer in the country could be overruled in just a matter of hours.
"You stay back." The older woman said, her hand stretched out, keeping Brooke and Axel apart.
Brooke looked over her shoulder at Axel, her eyes a nervous mess.
Axel balled his fists, "We can't just let her leave with a total stranger, if she's free to go then she should leave on her own-" he tried to move past her, but the other officer held him back.
He signalled his colleague to lead Brooke into the awaiting black truck, and made sure that Axel stayed in place until Brooke was driven away from the station.
Inside the car, Brooke looked to her side to see take out food and a change of clothes. Since the truck was large and had curtains, she would be able to change into them effortlessly.
