You literally beefed with a zombie that ain't lookin' for problems

"The statute of limitations on something zat lives forever doesn't run out. Trouble comes from such things. It is our duty to remove such things from society."

[ask-a-guard-dog]

Ah shit, it’s probably a zombie, vampire, something with Tyrant blood, or whatever hell had decided to vomit out.

"Mind your business," Seline was having a look around. Steve was in his shop. She couldn't find Doc anywhere.

[ask-a-guard-dog]

Wait, there couldn’t be another sentient, feral, intelligent, chimera, right? RIGHT?

"... No."

[ask-a-guard-dog]

Who got out during the chaos? Aren’t the released chimera’s gone, and Eijiro got moved, unless you’re talkin’ about Arden freeing his daughter and turning himself in.

Seline was fuming. There was no way. He wouldn't have been killed. Whoever was letting things out earlier let him out. But ever they wouldn't be so-

Who was she kidding? They obviously were exactly that stupid. They had the bodies and the idiot in the cell to prove it.

[ask-a-guard-dog]

“Fuck... I inventoried twice, ‘e got out during the fucking chaos!”

[ask-a-guard-dog]

"I'm sorry. I can't agree to that." "Don't care. Get rid of it." "But- But everything we can still learn-" Seline slammed her hands down on the desk. "-Get rid of it. This whole thing got Andale killed and we should wash our 'ands of it. And you don't want to know what I really think we should do," the woman growled. Dr. Kyle turned to Steven. The young man pushed his glasses up, "I... Agree with Seline. I've already contacted the main SPW office about how to proceed based on the report you sent them. We can't really afford any more threats to our security, and that's likely if we keep him any longer." Dr. Kyle sighed as Steven continued, "We could look at options for your research, Doc, but the bottom line is that we should transfer custody to another branch."

[ask-a-guard-dog]

"Well... The report's written up. We'll just have to see what they say..." Seline nodded solemnly at what Dr. Kyle said. "Can we let him out?" "You can take the muzzle off, Steve, he's probably done with the jackal stuff by now, but he can't come out."

[ask-a-guard-dog]

Eijiro could barely control his fear and excitement over what was happening. His tail thumped. He wasn't sure if-

Of course nii would want him back! He'd be snuggled and safe and warm, just like before. He was going to apologize and be safe and-

Dr. Kyle gently grabbed Eijiro's arm, "Cmere for a second, Eijiro. I need to run another test on you-"

"nuh-no."

Eijiro started squirming in Dr. Kyle's grip, "It's just for a second, Eijiro,"

"luh-later, i-i don't want to now."

"Now please, Eijiro," Kyle began pulling the boy out into the hallway. Eijiro kicked against him.

"nuh-no! no i duh-don't wanna!"

The old man looked sadly at the boy, "Seline. Please help me."

Seline nodded, he would see him wouldn't he? What a pain. What had Andale been thinking? She scooped Eijiro up by the legs despite the boy's best efforts to break free. Eijiro began to panic, "nuh-no! no! i-i wanna suh-see nii! i wuh-want nii! i wuh-wanna go home!"

"It's just for a little bit. Just long enough for him to get back home."

"luh-let me go! let muh-me go!"

The pair wearily carried the screaming, struggling chimera deeper into the facility.

"This is-"

"No Seline, not here. We'll go somewhere without others around. We don't want to cause undue stress."

Seline nodded.

"n-nuh-no!"

"Just for a little, Eijiro, and we'll figure out where to move you when he's gone."

[ask-a-guard-dog]

"Where 'ave you been?"

Seline was immediately on top of Andale when he walked through the door, "It's been days."

"Sorry, just getting a Christmas gift for the kid."

Seline was quiet for a while. She sighed, "Andale you didn't..."

"I sure fuckin did!"

" 'Es not supposed to know! Specifically! We were told not to! Take 'im back!"

"But- But Christmas, Selineeee"

"Take 'im back!"

Andale and Seline were both totally silent. Andale stood rigid straight as every hair on his body stood on end. Chili Pepper coiled it's tail around his neck, having slid up unnoticed, "You know... This isn't my first go around."

"Otoishi, listen-"

Pepper squeezed Andale's throat, stopping Seline immediately, "No, you listen. You will call my wife. You will explain exactly why the Foundation did this, and you will take me home."

Amateurs. If he was in danger, the big guy wouldn't have left him alone in the car, but that it was the Foundation or at least part of them? That made his blood boil.

The blonde caved immediately, because they weren't supposed to have him, the big guy went rogue from Akira's understanding, "Okay. We will call your wife. Andale, get 'im out of the car. I will let the doctor know about our 'guest' so we don't 'ave any more problems."

"Right. Right. Ease ya stand up a bit, we didn't wanna hurt ya."

Andale staggered, still being half choked, outside as Seline started making her way to Dr. Kyle's office. Hopefully, they'd be able to catch Eijiro before he saw anything.

Eijiro ducked back into the living space that he'd peeked out unnoticed from in the commotion. Nii was here. Nii was going to take him home and everything would be okay again!

[ask-a-guard-dog]

"Whatcha think Eijiro wants for Christmas?" "... you're going to get 'im a christmas gift?" "Well... Yeah, we're just kinda taking care of him for a little bit, why not?"

[ask-a-guard-dog]

Eijiro yawned as he sat up. There was an alarm going off... He rubbed his eyes as the large figure standing in the cell doorway registered in his half asleep state. He stiffened. The hair on the back of his neck stood up. He tried growl, but he yelped and that turned into a whine as the figure took a few steps in. Eijiro backed into the corner, staring wide eyed, ears pinned back, whimpering at this thing. There was a sharp crackling noise as the figure slumped over. The lights flicked on, revealing the massive zombie. Andale lowered the stun gun as he pulled the creature out, "Eesh... Might have to put this one down... Got way too far... Still, gottim fine." Another whine. Andale turned his attention to the boy. Eijiro had curled up in the corner. Andale dropped the zombie, crawling over it to get to the poor boy, "Oh, oh, c'mere kid. C'mere. Wasn't that bad," he scooped the small boy up, "You're fine. You're fine." Eijiro curled up in Andale's arms. He was shivering. Seline glanced over at the scene, "Is 'e 'urt?" Andale urked softly as the boy tightened his grip at the woman's voice, "Nah... Nah, just spooked... ... Y'mind cleaning up the mess? I'm gonna be a sec." Seline nodded, turning her attention to the zombie. Andale settled down on the cot. He tugged the blanket up around the two of them. He spied the tiny lion on the floor and pulled it closer with his stand. He undid one of Eijiro's arms from his neck, and placed the toy in the boy's hand, "hhhh... S'okay... It s'okay..."

[ask-a-guard-dog]

"So... We're letting it go?"

"We're not doing anything aside from handing the information over. Should he be let go? Absolutely, same way they'd let anyone else with a bud or under a stand's influence go. Less he's a bloodsucker, but we'll find that out."

[ask-a-guard-dog]

"I got a call from Andale, 'e said 'e received the call from Steven, and Steven was taking the chimera back to the Trap unless you wanted everything back 'ere."

"Nah, that's fine. The stuff to do a proper check up's there. We'll meet em back in a couple more days."
