"It's not - that's not answering my question!" Fen shouted at the retreating back of the mistress. But it was all a pretext, a show of anger for testing out her theory. With a closed fist she pounded the glass at the spot where Brunhilde had made a tiny incision, and to her triumphant recognition the cracks in the transparent wall spread further. So she'd been right - the prison wasn't quite so unbreakable as it seemed. So it was a ruse. Meanwhile, the red strobe lights flashed through the empty hallway after the Hounds exited. The ringing of the alarms was getting Fen's blood running, as she realized that it wouldn't take much to break out.

Wait a second.

There was no way the Battalion had placed her into a prison room that was so flimsy on accident. Rather, it was beyond likely that the whole thing was a trap.

Goddammit!

This might be her only chance to break free. There was no way she could pass up this opportunity to escape, especially since it looked like the stronghold, wherever she was, was now experiencing what was probably an attack from an outside force. The police? The military?

And then there was the question of the girl sleeping behind her. Fen turned to see Cyzarine still resolutely dozing off, despite the flashing red lights and screaming sirens. How was it possible that she could be completely out of it when there was so much going on?

I've got no time to lose.

She was gonna make her break for it now, that was certain. But she wasn't just going to run and leave her fellow prisoner here to sleep through their one opening. Trap or not, Fen wasn't sticking around longer in this godforsaken place. So she went up to Cyzarine and roughly shook the girl into wakefulness. Strange that their captors had given the girl the luxury of keeping her headphones on.

"Cyzarine!" Fen shouted over the background din. "The glass, it's really weak! I'm going to try and punch through it and make an escape!" She pulled the girl upright. "I need you to tell me something. Is it likely that there's a booby trap of some sort, or can I just make a break for it?" She paused.

"And are you gonna come with me or what? We've got a better chance of making it if we stick together." Hopefully Cyzarine wasn't so drowsy as to be incapable of comprehending her words. Fen had no idea how much time they had, but the longer they dawdled here the smaller that window of freedom was getting.
