Going down the hallway, the White Rose agents that were with Gary weren't exactly being the nicest. They had shoved him into a room, closing the door right behind.
Gary turned around to look at the door; it was made out of thick steel, at least a meter wide. He had never seen such a well-designed wall before. Even if he had a running start and tried to attack with all his strength, he wasn't so sure he could break through such a thing. Just imagining himself failing at an attempted breakout made him slightly sick to his stomach.
"I'm weak... I'm f*cking weak," Gary inwardly said as he looked at the clothing presented.
It was a plain white-colored uniform that had the appearance more like pajamas. It was the prison uniform that they were to wear. He did as was ordered and placed it on.
He noticed that the material had quite a bit of stretch to it. 'Is it made out of the same stuff as the Howlers' uniform? I guess I am going to an Altered prison after all. They can't stop us from turning into Altered, and it would be a pain for them to have to keep replacing our uniforms.'
After putting on the clothes, Gary then had to wait, and the door was opened once again. Four White Rose agents were there to escort him, and they continued to take him down a long hallway, where it led to, he could only guess in all honesty.
'I still can't believe it. They're going to be keeping me in prison this entire time, while everything is happening to the Howlers. They took my phone away, and I have no access to the news or the internet, so I have no idea what is going on right now.'
Just while walking down the hallway alone, several times Gary had tensed his fist, the veins in his neck showing once in a while. He was imagining the worst, his mind playing tricks on him as to what the possibility could be out there.
"Let me tell you a few things about the place that you will be going to," one of the White Rose agents stated. "This is a place where others just like you are present.
"Not just your everyday criminals but Altered criminals. Those that have done things that are unheard of and have been chosen to be locked up for life.
"Many when they come into here, think that they are big and bad, that they are the top dog, but this place quickly humbles them.
"Because let me let you in on a little secret," the guard whispered. "We don't care if you die. Society doesn't like that we give you the death penalty, but if you fight and kill each other in there, that's no bother to us; that's just more of you scum off the street.
"You Altered, are the ones that are ruining it for the rest of us, giving us a bad name, so I couldn't care less what happens to you."
They had finally reached another large steel door; this one seemed to have been bolted in strange ways as well. It was even more locked compared to the other one he was in before.
"I won't die," Gary replied back.
"Well good luck, but you're unlikely to make it before your investigation is even over," the White Rose agent said as the door opened.
Immediately, a muscular woman was seen on the other side of the door. She was wearing a jet black uniform with a crooked hat on top of her head and a badge that had the words "Warden" written on them. Next to her, there were a pair of men dressed in the same black uniform, attached to their waist were a number of Anti-Altered weapons, although none of them looked powerful enough to hold Gary back.
What surprised him, though, was the Warden, who assumed was the one that was entirely in charge of the place, had no Anti-Altered weapons on her.
"If you're thinking of trying anything, it's best you don't," the warden said as the steel door was shut behind him. "If you cause any trouble with those dressed in black, or I hear your name from their ears, then that isn't good because it means you will be having to meet me, and I don't like to do work," the warden replied.
"The best thing for both of us is to do as you wish but not to mess with those in black, the guards."
Gary was in what looked more like an office; there were tables stationed out and paperwork, as well as another door. There were no windows anywhere though, so Gary had no clue; was he underground, over ground on an island of sorts, or what? Judging by the hallway, he couldn't have gone far from the main White Rose base.
"In this prison, there is only access to food and water, no TV, no internet, and no means of contact with the outside world. Visitors are permitted once a week only, but that is none of your concern, since it's all related to what those do on the outside."
Gary didn't quite understand what she meant by this, but he had a feeling that it meant he wasn't going to be getting any visitors anytime soon.
"A word of warning to you my friend, if you think your name and status will do something for you in here, it won't. These people, they haven't had access to information from the outside world for a while, so no one knows who you are, so be ready for anything.
"Now, take him to a cell, to meet his new roommate."
The guards stood by Gary's side, unafraid even though they were regular humans, and started to escort him away.
"I don't care what anyone says, no matter what, I'm getting out of this place, and when I do, I'll get rid of the entire Phoenix Gang!"
