Swamped

You decide to just go along quietly.

You were thinking of escaping, but it's clear now that Crook is more or less on your side. Your main worry is getting interrogated by someone like Razor again; maybe you can convince Crook it'll be worth his while to stall if that happens. Or at least give you a heads-up on if you need to be worried.

Crook takes you back to the cells, where everyone else is sitting around. You notice that Ringer is still on duty.

"Ringer. You're relieved. I'm taking over here."

Ringer rings their bell once in acknowledgement and walks off. Crook shoves you into a cell. At least it's more comfortable than the interrogation room.

"Right. All of you sit tight here until the next interrogation. Whenever that is."

You notice Walter scribbling something on a small sheet. When Crook's head is turned, he crumples it up tightly and tosses it into your cell.

Carefully, you unfold it. It seems to be a rough sketch of a technique for escaping from an arm hold. Walter gives you a quick smile as you crumple it back up. Might be useful, but you're not likely to get a chance to practice safely.

In fact, there's not a lot you can do right now except wait. Hopefully, once Rider gets back, you'll find out just what it is he wants with you. You can't help but be curious.

You're now someone with a bit more freedom to move around. Who would that be?
