Project Apollyon

Carmen: *sighs* Okay. *slipping the handcuffs on* Come on. Eevryone, move.

[Sharkticonqueen]

Everyone watched, looking impressed as Carmen led the man to the squad car.

"Well, I'll be damned!" exclaimed the police cheif. Levi just shook his head.

Carmen paused, trying to calm herself down. HEr heart was pounding. She had been so scared the man was going to do something. Now all she felt was releif.

"Take it easy." she said the man in front of her. He didn't respond. Carmen held onto his wrists as she led him toward the car. She couldn't help but notice his chiseled body.

[AnimeJunkie]

Carmen: I promise, I won't let anyone hurt you. My name's Carmen. *saying as she gets in the car* What's yours?

[Sharkticonqueen]

"Apollyon." his voice was low and deep. After he spoke, he looked away from her and fell silent. Carmen felt strange as she gently pushed him into the back seat of the squad car. She climbed into the front seat, and a second later, the passenger door opened.

"No way I'm leaving you along with that wacko." said Levi, climbing in.

[AnimeJunkie]

Carmen: He's not a wacko. And I'm fine. I know he won't hurt me. Now you...*lookinig into the rearview mirror* He's looking tense. I think I better do this alone. If you're here, he WILL go psycho.

[Sharkticonqueen]

Levi shook his head. "No way."

Apollyon focuse dhis gold eyes on Levi, but said nothing. His face was blank.

[AnimeJunkie]

Carmen: You think you should be afraid of him....but you KNOW you should be afraid of me. Your choice. *smirking*

[Sharkticonqueen]

"Hey, I'd rather get my butt kicked by you than see you get your butt kicked by someone else." Levi said, looking stubborn.

Apollyon sat back in his seat. He showed no emotions, and stared straight ahead.

"Besides, what kind of guy goes around naked like that? he's gotta be crazy."

[AnimeJunkie]

Carmen: *Starting the car* Crazier than you trying to set the world naked pogostick record? Bad enough seeing a sausage flopping when a guy's walking, but BOING BOING BOING...wrong on SO many levels!

[Sharkticonqueen]

"I was drunk!" Levi snapped, looking flustered, then he lowered his voice, "Don't EVER mention that in front of a complete stranger again."

[AnimeJunkie]

Carmen: Deal. Now will you behave back there? *driving off*

[Sharkticonqueen]

Apollyon didn't answer.


They arrived at the large jailhouse. It was about the size of a small prison.

"Lock him up, then we'll try and figure otu who he is." said the Police cheif as Carmen and Levi got out of the car. Carem opened the door and pulled Apollyon out. He went with her without comment.

[AnimeJunkie]

Carmen: You guys just back up. I got this. *looking at Appollyon* Don't mind them.

[Sharkticonqueen]

Apollyon looked at her but didn't say anything. Carmen took him into the jail house. He was fingerprinted. The people in charge of taking mugshots cracked up when they took his picture. They didn't often get buck-naked guys.

At first, Carmen wasn't worried. But when she opened the door that led to the jail cells, she felt uneasy. Once the prisoners in the cells noticed Apollyon, they made their opinions knowen. A few of them made cat or wolf calls, a few others shouted lewd comments.

"Hey! His cute little ass if better than yours!" Shouted one of the prisoners, Carmen didn't see which prisoner said it.

A few Prisoners stuck theirs arms threw the bars, sneering and trying to reach her. Carmen was used to this behavior, and usually ignored it.

"Why don't you stick him in here?" snickered abald-tattooed prisoner, "We'll take good care of him."

"Nah," said a pirosner in another cell, "He'll be grabbing his ankels all night. Put him here he'll only have to do it for a few hours."

Laughter came out of all of the cells. Apollyon didn't looked afraid, or angry. He just stared straight ahead.

[AnimeJunkie]

Carmen: Sorry, boys. But this one's a special case. Maybe the next buck naked guy bring in, i'll give to you.

Inmate: You promise, Swet thang?

Carmen just rolled her eyes. She knew she could kick all their asses. She led the new guy to an empty cell where he would be left alone. She opened the door to the cell and ushered him inside. She locked the door and took off his cuffs.

Carmen: I won't be far. You need anything, just give a holler.

She looked at him calmly and touched his hand before leaving him there.

[Sharkticonqueen]

He sat down calmly on one of the bunks. "Hey, get off!" said a voice, Apollyon stood up. Carmen hadn't noticed that the pile of blankets on one of the bunks was a person. The person was african american, and muscular. His eyes were bloodshot and red. "Who do you think you are, prick? That's MY bed."

Apollyon didn't answer. He took a few steps back, but didn't look afriad. THe priosner's breath stank of alchohol. THe man looked Apollyon up and down, then grabbed him. "I'll give you something to sit on, you candy-assed punk."

Carmen was outside of the cell room talking with Levi.

"I can't beleive you did that." said elvi, looking angry, "Something could've happened!"

[AnimeJunkie]

Carmen: But nothing DID! I don't know why, but I just knew he wouldn't hurt me. You've trusted my judgment before. WHY are you having a baby about it now!?

[Blackmoon]

Levi looks to the ground,

"Well I was just worried about you." he says looking away for a few seconds. Levi then looks back at her with a puzzled look on his face,

"Why the hell did you even call me down here if you didn't need my help?" he asks.

[Sharkticonqueen]

"Well, we thought we did." Carmen answered, a little sheepishly, "No one thought about just trying to walk up to him until you arrived."

As she spoke, Carmen scratched the back of her head in bewilderment. Suddenly, there was a loud crashing sound from the cell room.

[AnimeJunkie]

Carmen: Oh, man! That came from the new guy's cell! *running back to it*
