You can pace the room if you’d like, but it’s barely a cage; long enough to lay out on the floor in either direction, but not much bigger. At first it seems empty; but after a time the shallow sound of breathing is perceptible, coming from one of the walls. There’s a bed there, little more than a cot, with a supine body on it. Was that there

[Rebecca sits in the corner of the room, observing. Her knees are drawn up to her chest, arms wrapped around her knees. She watches the person lying on the cot, not sure if he's dead or alive. After several long minutes she speaks. Her tone is very wary.]

Are you okay over there?

[team_sociopath]

Mnph.

[That's not quite enough to wake him up, but he stirs a little in the dimness, face pinched in some unconscious worry.]

[cant_just_hang]

[It's enough to make Rebecca more curious and a bit less wary though. She scoots over to the cot a bit closer.]

You're alive. That's a start.

[team_sociopath]

[He stirs more, rolling onto his side, pulling the IV line taut as he tries to look at her. It might be possible to make out the suspicion in his expression.]

I'm no good to anyone dead, right?

[cant_just_hang]

That's one way of looking at it.

[She stands up and examines the IV bag attached to the line. She wants to know what's going into his veins]

The other way is as long as you're not dead, you can still get away.

[team_sociopath]

Do you have any idea where we are?

[Saaarcasm, he has it. As for the IV, it's anyone's guess; Tommy doesn't know, so the detail's missing. It's unmarked.]

[cant_just_hang]

Not a clue. I woke up here.

[Have some snarkiness back. She takes note that the IV is unmarked.]

How do you feel?

[team_sociopath]

Somewhere between a rat and a guinea pig.

[One's trapped, the other's experimented on. Tommy is the lucky intersection. It's days, sometimes, between seeing other prisoners.]

What'd I do to deserve a roommate?

[cant_just_hang]

I was just thinking what did I do to deserve being stuck here.

[She sits down with her back against the wall next to the cot]

[team_sociopath]

Good question.

[Can you see the raised eyebrow? It asks the classic prisoner question, what are you in for?]

[cant_just_hang]

[Rebecca lets out a soft sigh and then looks over to Tommy]

I don't know the answer. I'm not special. I'm an FBI agent.

[team_sociopath]

Here to bust this shithole? It's inhumane.

[cant_just_hang]

Considering they didn't leave me with my gun or my badge...I don't think that's it.

[team_sociopath]

Too bad.
