She listened gravely to the girl's story. If she was right, the streets weren't safe for her anymore. Hell, now that she'd looked to Estelle for help, her assailants would see her as an accomplice, they were probably targetting her too!

God, i wish i had a knife.... Lyko mused as he walked through the cell block. A weapon at hand always made negotiations easier in his opinion. In case things went bad. Though he doubted stabbing a cop would get him far.

He paused midstep when the wolf faunus called, and two thoughts raced in his mind.

First, he hastily calculated a price. For all it's worth in jail, cash was as good as blank paper. More material dealings were the currency. Turning to the table, he leaned to the faunus and said. "I hear one of your buddies smuggled in an iPod last week, and i've been dying for some EDM. Whadaya say i rent it for.... 12 hours per night in my cell?"

He stopped to let the faunus consider, and asked his second question. "But that bunk isn't empty. Cardamom's already there. Unless he left or something?"

Lyko read the looks on their faces, and knew he'd struck a nerve too close. Something was wrong. "What happened to him?" he asked.
