Argyle heard faint laughter in the distance. She knew she must've done something wrong, but the damage has already been done. At that very moment, she didn't care. Lyko must be doing something wrong if even a fellow Faunus despises him.

A chill entered her spine, the young Faunus' patience is straining.

I so can't wait for you to get killed trying to escape Beacon.

She headed off to the Armory; there was nothing more for her worth patrolling. The others got it covered anyway.

The two Humans were now back at the yard. Browning's jaw was agape from Piper's true reason for letting Lyko go. He's aware of some dirty tactics the guards would rely on just to survive the harsh environment, but the good cop in him kept disagreeing with them.

"Wait, you knew he'd do something like that?"

"Put him out of commission, and one less potential goon for Romeo to control." Piper rationed.

"He's probably strolling around right now laughing his damn ass off and telling the other inmates all about it." Browning countered.

"Relax, we'll just yank it right out of him when he's the most vulnerable. We play by different rules here man; sometimes we just got to make them think we're buffoons, and then we strike as soon as they lower the defenses." Piper contested.

Browning kept silent, looking down with a gloomy face. Piper realized that he must've hit a nerve.

"Oh shit..." That was all that came out of Piper's mouth.

"Sorry, it's just that you sounded like my Commanding Officer when you said that." Browning retorted.

"Browning... I..."

The ex-cop layed his hand on Piper's shoulder to shush him.

"Look Piper, the war's been over for over ten years and I understand what you're trying to say. It's just that now I'm discharged, I just want to be able to do a job the right and proper way. But with all this racial bullshit going on, it makes it really hard to do so."

Browning took a breather and removed his hand from Piper's shoulder.

"Browning..."

"Yes Piper?"

"You're a good guy, I want you to know that. Corrections is a tough Criminal Justice System, but we gotta do what we gotta do to make sure these scumbags never terrorize innocents again. Human and Faunus. Yeah some of the things us officers have done are unethical, but you got to know that these inmates are willing to start a war to turn us into beings we've loathed from the get-go. I'd hate to say this, but I guess you can say that the war's coming back to haunt you."

Browning looked up, but was still a little gloomy.

"I was afraid, even with counseling, that it'd come back to haunt me... *Sigh...* Wolfe doesn't even know this."

Piper then patted Browning's back.

"Relax man, I'm pretty sure Wolfe will understand. C'mon, let's get going to the Armory now. Warden will chew our asses if we don't complete the task by morning.

The two officers marched off towards the Armory.

"Argyle's cute." Browning said.

"Too bad she's taken." Piper shot.

"Who's really the lucky guy then?"

"That's a good question."

Two patrol officers back in Vale were just going through their patrol route when they noticed a mysterious group of figures exiting a book store that appeared to be closed and walking off into the darkness. Fortunately, the group went through the opposite direction of where the cops were.

"You don't see that everyday don't you?"

"No, let's go check it out. Something doesn't seem right."

The two patrol officers entered the book store. When they entered, they heard a woman crying. Upon closer inspection, the woman was on the ground sobbing like no tomorrow.

"Call dispatch, now."

The partner complied and walked off to do so. The lead officer carefully approached the woman.

"Ma'am, I'm Officer Mason. Can you tell me what happened?"
