Luca Ceaser was inside the prison, and because of that Fiona had to go there as well... all for a small crime. Stealing bread, that was it... Anyway, she even found a path that was dangerous... but it was the only way.
Luca: "Hahhh….(Burps)...hahhh...Hmm."
Fiona: "Hello."
Luca: "Ghhuh!"
Fiona: "Shhhhh…...We need to talk...Mr. Ceaser…"
Luca: "Ughh…..Are you...one of the Materazzis?"
Fiona: "No….Don't worry. I don't belong to those mafia monkeys…"
Luca: "What...do you want then...who are you?"
Fiona: "Fiona...I'm a detective for the Dark Umbrella…"
Luca: "Ugh...I see...Get me out of here."
Fiona: "Depends on how important you are...my friend."
Luca: "Ughh….What do you want?"
Fiona: "Two months ago...shortly before your arrest…..Did you meet a woman...with black hair and red eyes?"
Luca: "Ugh..Uh...more details if possible."
Fiona: "She's pale...has a slightly deep voice….Her figure...hmm…...let's just say...interesting for many men."
Luca: "Ohhhh…..Hehehe...I know who you mean….You mean that woman. I think her name was Theressa."
Fiona: "Exactly...good. That already gives me one reason not to kill you...Now give me a reason to get you out of there…..Where is she?"
Luca: "Why...are you friends?"
Fiona: "She's my colleague...uhm...friends…..Not really….So?"
Luca: "Uh...I only know she was taken by the mafia. Whether it was the Materazzis or the Vincis...I don't know…"
Fiona: "What did Theressa want here?"
Luca: "Mmm...Well...she said she was looking for information…"
Fiona: "Hmm?..Information.."
Luca: "She had the feeling...that the mafia had been more active lately..and since she comes from Demari, she was worried about the city."
Fiona: "Well….Ms. Sonda is half Demari. She's actually from Dehl…but okay….Anything else?"
Luca: "She said she wanted to meet someone…"
Fiona: "Name?…"
Luca: "I only know he calls himself il Guanto…"
Fiona: "Hmm….what does that mean? Shoes?"
Luca: "The Glove."
Fiona: "Ahh.....okay….Fine then…"
Luca: "Please get me out of here."
Fiona: "Why are you here?"
Luca: "Ahhh….Well...there's no point hiding it ...I was a member of the Materazzis. Please get me out of here and…..Help me flee the city. I'm sure they're after my family."
Fiona: "Well….Maybe I can help you...maybe not."
Luca: "At least my family..please. I have a wife and a child...she's only eight years old…...they'll definitely kill them….maybe they're already dead, I don't know...please.."
Fiona: "Ahhh….Okay..okay...give me the address…...or just tell me."
Luca: "It's...in Camilia...the capital."
Fiona: "I see ...Where exactly?"
Luca: "Street Number 80….It's called Tizoollo….."
Fiona: "Okay….."
Luca: "Can't you get me out of here?"
Fiona: "Hmmm..How many people did you kill?"
Luca: "Ugh?"
Fiona: "Tell me...and be honest. How many people have you killed?"
Luca: "...about.....Five."
Fiona: "Hahh..I'm leaving."
Luca: "Wait..wait...wait damn it..okay..okay….It's ...it's….a hundred...a hundred."
Fiona: "Ugh..you damn bastard, that many?…."
Luca: "Ugh...yeah.."
Fiona: "Forget it. I'm not getting you out of here…."
Luca: "I ...I'll become a better person."
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Luca: "Please…..I want to see my child..."
Fiona: "You'd only put your child in danger..."
Luca: "Ugh."
Fiona: "Hahhh….Your child ….I'll try to get the Dark Umbrella to protect your wife as well…..But listen to me….You should stay here. They won't kill you easily in here….and..well, you killed way too many people….so….you belong here too."
Luca: "..Ughh.."
Fiona: "Anything else important?...Who knows, maybe I'll change my mind."
Luca: "Ughh….Uh….Go to the street in Venolgna called Pinnochio…"
Fiona: "Pinnochio?.."
Luca: "Yeah…...like...the fairy tale."
Fiona: "Okay….I have to go now."
Luca: "…..Okay....Be careful not to get caught.."
Fiona: "Sure...and you be careful not to get killed.."
Luca: "Uh..okay."
Meanwhile
Sophie: "Hmmm…"
Violet: "How can you work so calmly?...Girl, if I look upward I get scared."
Sophie: "You're exaggerating...Don't worry…..Only ten buildings have collapsed in the last fourteen years."
Violet: "Wait...that happened ten times?!...When...when was the last time?"
Sophie: "One month before we came here."
Violet: "(Sweating)….very ….reassuring…...mhm.."
Sophie: "Hahhh….If you're scared...I can buy you an apartment down below for now..but….then you'd still have to come here for planning…..so it wouldn't help much….Anyway...I'm going to sleep now."
Violet: "Wait..sleep..like that?….."
She laid down on the bed…
Sophie: "Hahhh.."
Violet: "Mm...."
Sophie: "Now lie down on the bed..or on the couch. You have a free bed and a couch."
Violet: "Yeah...yeah, I'll sleep on the couch.."
She laid down….and looked out the window.
Violet: "Ghhh...creepy…"
A few hours later
Sophie: "Mmm….(Yawns)…..Hmmm?...Uh Violet…..Did you not sleep at all?"
Violet: "..Ugh..what..huh?..how...what?.....Hhhhhh."
She looked exhausted.
Violet: "No..I didn't sleep at all…..Why does the house move when the wind gets strong?..wait where does the wind even come from….we're inside a damn trapezoid!"
Sophie: "Oh….Those are the holes in the walls..so air can get in…"
Violet: "Oh...yeah...okay....I..think I need..some time until I .....until I….get used to this….hahh...while you were sleeping….the city moved again."
Sophie: "Ohh...so it's morning-evening already….okay…"
The cities were normal again…
Violet: "I'm going to sleep now….then I won't be….scared."
Sophie: "Yeah..yeah, get some rest…...Two hours is something."
Violet: "Better than nothing….(Snore!)"
Sophie: "That was...fast.."
Meanwhile
Fiona: "Hmmm…...Hahh...Now I have to stay here…"
Police Officer: "Fiona….Get up."
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Police Officer: "Time to work.."
Fiona: "Yeah."
She came outside…
Police Officer: "Alright….I want you and the others to carry these heavy crates...There's food inside for the people who barely have enough to eat…..And I don't want to see any food getting dropped, understood?"
Fiona: "Yeah.."
Prisoner: "Look at her...heheheeh."
Prisoner: "Yeah, isn't she pretty?...We already had enough fun with that girl over there."
Prisoner: "Hehehehe….You mean Rebecca?..hehehehe.."
Fiona picked up the crates…..Suddenly one of the prisoners stood in front of her.
Prisoner: "Ohh….That looks heavy for you, my lady...want me to help?"
Fiona: "...Move aside..you're in the way."
Prisoner: "Excuse me?"
Fiona: "You...are...in...the...way….Are you deaf?…."
Prisoner: "Ughh…."
Prisoner: "Hmm."
She walked past him and put the crate down..
Prisoner: "Hey, how dare you talk to me like that, bitch.."
Fiona: "Hhhmm."
He grabbed her uniform.
Prisoner: "How about….we have some fun...you know..the girls over there...can't do it anymore...hehehe."
Rebecca: "Huhh...mmm."
She was trembling.
Prisoner: "Well….We still want our fun and you..are pretty...lady…"
Fiona: "Hmmm.."
Prisoner: "Come on..just a little fun….Come on...…"
Fiona: "Hmmm….."
He touched her cheek ….but then something happened to him.
(Hoohhh!)
Prisoner: "Ughh...damn it..what was that.."
Prisoner: "Hey what's wrong with you?"
Fiona: "Sorry…..I'm cursed...."
Prisoner: "Ughh...…"
He stepped away.
Fiona: "Holle…..Must have done it….good...I was already worried I'd have to use my hands….hmm?"
Rebecca: "Hmmm.."
Fiona: "(...she looks terrible…..Hahh…..they've probably done horrible things to her)…"
Rebecca: "….Hahhh…"
Fiona: "Hey…..are you okay?"
Rebecca: "Huh?"
She looked at Fiona with tired eyes.
Rebecca: "Mmm….yeah….uhm….yeah…."
Fiona: "Hmm…...what was your crime?"
Rebecca: ".....I killed the two men who wanted to abuse me...Hmph…..but instead I ended up experiencing it here....Every...night…...whether I want to or not…"
Fiona: "Mmm...."
Rebecca: "Hmmm.."
Fiona: "Hmmm….(I could ask the Dark Umbrella to investigate her case ...no..no...that's not my problem)."
Rebecca: "(Cough)...(Cough).."
Fiona: "Huh?…."
Fiona quickly walked to her and put the crate down for a moment.
Rebecca: "Huh?"
Fiona: "Stay still."
She placed her hand on Rebecca's forehead.
Rebecca: "What are...you doing?"
Fiona: "(Not good…..She's burning up..very badly…..what did they do to her in here....she even looks...young…..probably only eighteen or nineteen…)….You have a fever..a high fever."
Rebecca: "(Cough)...(Cough)...yeah ...I know…"
Fiona: "Do the guards know?"
Rebecca: "No….because I want to die anyway…"
Fiona: "Hmm…."
Rebecca: "…..My body...hurts…"
Fiona: "How long are you staying here…"
Rebecca: "Until they prove I was really only defending myself.."
Fiona: "And...how long will that take?"
Rebecca: "No idea….Even if I get out…...the worst already happened ...I shouldn't have defended myself that day…..At least then maybe…...I would've had more luck.."
Rebecca stood up.
Rebecca: "...I have to...work…"
She carried one of the crates. She almost fell, but Fiona helped her.
Rebecca: "Ugh."
Fiona: "I'll help you."
Rebecca: "….Thank you.."
Fiona: "Hmmm...I heard there was another...female prisoner. Where is she?"
Rebecca: "Ohh...you probably mean Mia…..Yeah ….she...left this place yesterday….in ...another way."
Prisoner: "Hehehehe...she took her own life….."
Prisoner: "Poor little thing…..I told you not to overdo it…..hehehehe.."
Prisoner: "Ohhh..Come on broo…..she was really hot.."
Fiona: "(….what bastards)…."
Rebecca: "Mmm."
Fiona: "(...I can't leave her here...she's practically still a child.....)….Hmm."
A few days later
Police Officer: "Hey…..Fiona…"
Fiona: "Huh?"
Police Officer: "Get out…..You're free…."
She walked outside…
Police Officer: "Psst...did you find anything out?"
Fiona: "Hmmm…...Amount of food?"
Police Officer: "Code 901.."
Fiona: "Ahh I understand….So you're a spy....Yeah….Listen, I want to talk to you about something. There's a woman in here named Rebecca….I want the Dark Umbrella to look into her case. She's practically still a child.."
She said while walking.
Police Officer: "Hmm…..I'll see what I can do."
Fiona: "Hurry because she won't last much longer….Do you know her last name?"
Police Officer: "Of course….Rebecca Sirigu…"
Fiona: "Okay..please take care of the case...it would be horrible if she really didn't do anything wrong…"
Police Officer: "Okay."
He walked away and another officer waited there.
Police Officer: "Alright...here...your clothes."
Fiona: "(Sweating)….(Right...to make it look like I really stole bread, they gave me these….farmer clothes..Honestly...I kind of like them)….Thank you very much…"
Police Officer: "Here's this too..."
He handed her a pistol.
Police Officer: " ..the Dark Umbrella informed us."
Fiona: "Ohh...I see…..So you knew."
Police Officer: "Of course...what did you think?...Though they only told us yesterday that you're one of the Dark Umbrella people…..Since you weren't caught meeting Luca, it's fine….Now go...before I change my mind."
Fiona: "Thank you very much."
She took her things...and left the prison.
(Beep)
Fiona: "Huh."
Sophie: "Hey.."
Violet: "Hey Fiona.hehehe…"
Fiona: "Ugh..hehehe…..Sophie...Violet…..Perfect timing."
Sophie: "Of course...Get in….you..criminal..hehehe."
Fiona: "Hahaha...funny."
Violet: "Hehehe."
Fiona: "You're laughing?...You used to be a robber yourself, so be quiet."
Violet: "Hey...that was snow for yesterday."
Fiona: "From yesterday."
Sophie: "Hahhh...damn it Violet….I taught you how to read and write...ah..screw it...Get in Fiona."
Fiona: "Mhm."
She got in.
Sophie: "Hahhh...Nice outfit."
Violet: "Hehehe..you smell like sweat."
Fiona: "Shut up...Of course I smell like sweat...there's barely any shower time...and almost no soap."
Sophie: "Well...at least you didn't drop the soap..hehehe."
Fiona: "Hahh…."
Violet: "Why...would they hit her after that."
Fiona: "Hahh...Violet..."
Sophie: "Uh..Violet..when someone drops the soap in the shower ..uhm..something similar to what was in that biology book I showed you happens...just...without the person's consent."
Violet: "O...hhh…...yeah…..I get it now…."
Fiona: "So..did you find anything out?"
Sophie: "Wait, is something in the car?...mmm..damn it!"
(Wum!)
Sophie: "Now..."
She drove off.
Sophie: "So...Well, we found out quite a few things.."
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Sophie: "It's possible there are more problems here than we thought..Violet found out something that worries me."
Fiona: "Hmm?..What?"
Violet: "Apparently ...there are cases of normal people suddenly turning into monsters."
Fiona: "Skinnwalkers maybe?"
Sophie: "No..don't forget, they stay in the forest. And even if they are Skinnwalkers, they're easy to spot…..Because they attack directly...but the ones here...seem …...to live with it….in the shadows, I mean."
Violet: "Exactly."
Fiona: "Hmm…..indeed not a good sign."
Sophie: "Anything about Ms. Sonda?"
Fiona: "Yeah…..Luca says she was kidnapped, but he doesn't know whether it was the Vincis or the Materazzis.."
Sophie: "I see."
Violet: "Hmm."
Fiona: "She was searching for information…...about a person named il Guando, The Glove."
Sophie: "Hmm...somehow ….that doesn't sound familiar….A high-ranking mafia figure maybe?…"
Fiona: "Could also be an informant….or someone who knows the criminal underworld well…"
Sophie: "Hmm….Anything else?"
Fiona: "Hmm...No….By the way, we have to protect his family. They're in Camilia, Tizollo Street Number 80…"
Violet: ".Uhmm..tell me….is this really okay?...I think I'm going to...throw up."
The car was driving along the walls. Down below was the city, so it got worse because they were heading to Flora, which was above them..
Violet: "Ughhh...I'll never get used to this."
Fiona: "Hmmm…"
Sophie: "Hold on tight…...Even though gravity here has a system….once we reach Flora we'll be upside down with the city below us...which means…..If the car system fails ...well….We'll turn into tomato sauce.."
Violet: "Ghhh.."
They saw Flora. The car drove onward..now….if you looked upward, you saw the city….Actually it was below them, but because everything was upside down, you saw it when you looked up…"
Violet: "Ughhh...(Bleargh!!!)…"
Sophie: "Not again..what if someone is standing below."
Violet: "I can't….help it."
Fiona: "Bbb.."
Sophie: "Fiona?….Don't tell me you too."
Fiona: "Bbb..sorry…..I still can't...fully get used to it either...bbbb.."
Sophie: "We're almost there...good grief.."
Violet: "Good grief..you were born here….Of course you're used to it..How do children even get to school here?"
Sophie: "Easy...buses."
Violet: "Great answer…"
Fiona: "Mmm…"
Sophie: "Alright...We're in Flora now..and that's the house."
Violet: "Finally at least…."
Fiona: "Hmm."
Sophie: "So let's go inside now...Get some rest Fiona….After that we can work."
Fiona: "Okay."
Violet: "Hahhh….Maybe Lina should've come instead of me."
Sophie: "You'll get used to it."
Violet: "NO."
Fiona: "You don't really have a choice."
Violet: "Mm."
They went inside….
Unknown Person: "Hmmm…."
(Bzzz)
Unknown Person: "Boss…...I think I found those Dark Umbrella members…"
Boss: "Good….They're surely searching for her...for Ms. Sonda...Keep watching them."
Unknown Person: "...As you command…..Padre."
