Takeshi breathed a sigh of relief as they stepped inside the base's high walls. The guards had been suspicious, but had ultimately allowed them in. And now...

Luckily, in the middle of this courtyard area, there was no one close enough to hear him. The stylist didn't respond - and then, a few seconds later, they were inside the main building.A minute later...

He stood still for a moment, thinking - he had been in the base before himself, but never this far in. It stood to reason that the cells would be deeper in the base, toward the very heart of it, in order to make escape all but impossible...
