Romulus held his breath as he and his followers walked toward the building. The place was top secret, yet not very well protected. He pulled a long dagger out of its holder on his belt, and held it poised and ready to attack, a moto warrior by his side with a handful of bright fire. He also had an another maji, ardhi, and baridi with him. They were raiding a local prison compound looking for somebody, anybody that would help them. He used his knife to pick the lock, and the door swung open. Easy. Almost too easy, he thought as he stepped careflully over the threshhold. He kept his senses alert, scanning every inch of the room for any sign of movement. There was none. He nodded to his followers, wordless, and they started rustleing through folders, pulling up computer files. Romulus scanned over something on a computer, when his baridi warrior, a feirce old man, hissed his name. Romulus went over to him, and the men thrust a file in front of his face.
As Romulus read it over, his face showed clearly the shock. He let out a barely audible gasp, and everybody looked over. No... Way...
He slammed the folder shut, and motioned toward the other door. He opened it to a long white hall, and the truth dawned on him.
This isn't a prison... its a mental hospital... but he kept his thought to himself, as he looked over the file still in his hands.
"Shirina Shama" he whispered, "room 1836" he stopped at the end of the hall, a door, 1836 etched in dark numbers above the handle. There were no locks. This seemed too easy.
He paused at the door for a moment, but he could feel the other's eyes on the back of his neck, he wasn't going to show any fear.
He swung open the door into a darkened room. Everything was decorated normally. A girl of about 14 sat on the bed, she was dressed in a white dress, whch went down to her ankles. Her back was turned, but Romulus knew who she was.
"Shirina?" his voice was soft, and he held his hand up for his followers to stay at the door. They nodded, and he stepped into the room.
The girl turned, and Romulus was half expecting her to have devil eyes or something, but she just looked so normal, and so sad.
"Do you know who you are?" he asked.
And as he explained, she just kept looking at him with those huge blue eyes. But they headed out the door, the alarm sounded, loud and shrill in their ears. Shirina screamed, and they started running. But the guards where on them, and Romulus and his followers kept running. The girl tripped and he heard the man in charge, "KILL HER"
Romulus wanted to go back, as he seen them dragging her ankles away, but he knew he couldn't, this was their only chance. He kept her file, and yelled, "KEEP GOING" to his men. And they ran faster, hurrying back to the base as the ghost of Shirina's terrified shreiks followed.
