Spec Ops (Multirealm)

[Dragnoxz]

The simple mechanism opens. The girl looks up in disbelief,band behind shaking the man, which is actually a young man, possibly in his later teens. You can't hear them, but the girls lips can almost be read saying a silent thank you, and something else after. You longer there, as if stuck in that place, everything silent. Several minutes pass and you see the ceiling slowly turn black, and then smoking pieces fall, then a support beam, and then a bunch of other debris. You wake, and feel rested. The room is quiet and dark. No one is around, and the TV is still on, but the sound is on low. It is showing news footage of a house on fire. A bar of words runs across the bottom of the screen saying: "Police shootout ends with house fire."

Aiko turns up the sound. Must have been the TV that made me dream that nightmare. Aiko checks to see if the IV and monitors are still attached to her as well as check her wounds. She checks the time on the news feed.

[Dragnoxz]

No IV, no heart monitors, but the time on the TV says 08:05.

Aiko gets up taking slow steady steps around the room.

[Dragnoxz]

A nurse knocks on the door, then enters. "Good morning. Are you hungry for breakfast ?" She has a gurney or cart with trays of food. The smells of food emitting from the cart is strong and inviting. Each tray has a thing of eggs, hash browns, either a waffle or some pancakes, box packets of syrup and packets of ketchup. Under the food on a different level are drinks. Apple and orange juice, and milk, and water. And there is a stack of napkins. "Waffle or pancakes l and your choice of drink, dear."

[taikokitsune]

"Pancakes and water please," Aiko responded a bit more respectfully, feeling much better, as if the last months to maybe years have been just one big dream. If it weren't for the fact that she still had the wound or was in the hospital she may have actually believed it. "Do you have a place that I can freshen up," she asks through the fact that she hasn't brushed her teeth, washed her hands, or even look herself in a mirror sense the facility.

[Dragnoxz]

"We have a wash room. And hospital clothes for you if you want. Would you like to clean up before you eat, dear ?"

Your teeth have cavities, and feel like they have soft sweaters. You have not showered in so long, the feel of water on you with soap would not feel normal. You are dirty, but the nurses did clean you up with a tag while you were sleeping. Your wounds are clean, and the pain is throbbing on your shoulder. It is all bandaged up, but the pain is there.

"Before you eat though, you need to take some pain medicine before the pain gets too uncomfortable. But, if you are ok to walk, it is time to change those bandages. Every six to ten hours at most. In the morning when you wake up, half way at dinner, then before bed are best times."

[taikokitsune]

"O-Okay," Aiko says. Aiko pops the pill. She had trouble swallowing it but eventually managed. Aiko lets the nurse change her bandage. Her shoulder and feet numb.

[Dragnoxz]

The nurse changes your bandages, then leaves to let you finish your food. She returns and walks you to the bathroom so you can do your business, and brush you teeth, etc. You notice you have lots of cavities, some of them hurt with cold water after you brush. The neglect and poor food and ability to tend to basic hygiene has resulted in several health problems. You grow a nasty stomach ache from eating so much food so fast. You sweat from the stomach discomfort. The nurse checks in on you and gives you something for your stomach. "Honey. An FBI detective is here to see you. Would you like to talk to him ?"

[taikokitsune]

"Okay," Aiko says with slight discomfort as she waits for the meds to kick in. Aiko tries not to look as bad as she is. She stares down and tilts her head down.

[Dragnoxz]

She leaves, and returns around five minutes later, with a man in a tan suit. He is tall, 6'3" tall, thin, stands like a board. He shows the badge, classic from the movies style. He smiles. "I am Agent Rick Thomason from the FBI. And you are ?"

[taikokitsune]

"Aiko...I think," she says doubtfully. She continues to stare at the ground, why is he asking me, wouldn't he know. "Wouldn't you know?" She asks speaking her mind, slightly rude. She takes a quick glance at his badge.

[Dragnoxz]

The nurse leaves the room.

FBI Agent Rick Thomason: "We are not sure, either. We can't find anything about you." He exhales softly. "Will you tell me where you've been ? How you got here and what happened to you ?"

Another person walks in the room. Red haired woman, also in a suit, about 5'7" tall, thin. She wears a dark red suit, dark grey business pants, dress shoes that slightly match the red suit, and she has a necklace with a badge as well, you also see a holster with a pistol on her left hip. The man looks at her with a hint of sorrowing concern. She look at you with that same look. She slowly walks in, she folds her arms and her right hand goes up to her chin. She smiles and quietly says "Hi." With a slight wave with her right hand that is by her chin.

Agent Rick Thomason: "This is Agent Danielle Clayton. My partner in crime." He smiles. If you look up, he looks at his partner, she gives him a look, then he looks back at you, "Joking."

"To my knowledge in sex slavery then raped by pirates after I escaped only to be sold to a third party and almost injected with who knows what." Aiko stares at her arm while she states this. Her voice almost like reading a script with snark rather than calling back memory.

[Dragnoxz]

"Do you know where all of this took place ? Countries, states, city's ? Anything to help us stop this from happening anymore ?"

Almost desperate, he asks. He wears the expression as if looking at someone who should have been in a morgue, greatful that it's not the case. The woman leaves the room, eyes slightly teared as she left.
