How To Survive In The World DxD With Fragment Memories - Chapter 157

Next morning while Angelica, Sakura, Everest and Stephani together with Alicia and Jamie attended John’s speech. Nothing happened. Yes nothing at all, it was to the point that the group began to wonder if Nightrise has forgotten about it. Due to no one from Nightrise appearing on the scene, the group went back to the motel where they were waiting for John.

“So the two who will infiltrate has been decided to be Sakura and Stephani?” Alicia asked feeling perplexed to allow these girls to head into jail, even if they were super-powered like Jamie she still did not feel comfortable sending girls to such a place.

“Yes,” Angelica said with a serious face, “Right now neither I nor Everest can hide our race’s aura from being detected. Sakura and Stephani both have human auras, we simply require to hide their other side”

“Other side?” Alicia asked dreading that the answer might be something terrifying that she would rather not know, but her curiosity still overcame her fear making her ask this peculiar question.

“It’s best you don’t know too much of us” Stephani said with a warm smile, “Because once you do, we will be forced to alter your memories and that will be problematic since it could cause you to forget your own son”

“Hiii!!!” Alicia pulled back feeling terrified at what they would do to her, she immediately pulled back till she saw Stephani’s playful smile making her face becoming beet red filled with shame “Stop teasing me like this Stephani”

‘She wasn’t’ Everest did not voice out her thoughts, she simply found this woman who was more worried about her son to have quite a strong mentality to accept the fact she was surrounded by “super” people, but if she were to know that four of them were half devils, not to mention two of them were a Dragon and Dark elf? She might question her sanity.

‘This girl was serious there’ Jamie thought, he could not read the four girl’s thoughts yet his power could still sense the fluctuations of brain waves allowing him to discern whether they were lying and speaking the truth. This was the reason he never left them, because this was the first group of people he came in contact with other than Alicia who had been honest with him till now.

Tring~

Tring~ Tring~

Alicia who was busy chatting with the girls picked up the telephone only to hear John’s voice on the other side, “I can arrange for the two girls you suggested to get jailed in Silent Creek, there is a condition to this though”

“What is the condition?” Alicia asked, somehow she felt that John was pressured by something and she could not put her finger on it where.

“Jamie will need to be with them, it is only then will they be legible to be sent to Silent Creek, you should understand that this is a high-level prison for killers, rapist, and all kinds of dangerous crimes” John explained,

“This—” Alicia flinched when she finally discovered the truth of this prison, why even she had not heard about it herself.

Angelica came towards her, before she could react Angelica grab the telephone “Do it”

“Angelica… Are you certain?” John asked,

“Yes, we need to proceed as soon as possible” Angelica muttered, with all honesty she wanted to finish this mission within a week so when Masaru was done with his preparation she will be available to help him if he ever needed her ȧssistance, he was her husband to be, and master.

“Very well, I will let my friend create false pieces of evidence and get in contact with the police force. I would suggest those who are not going to Silent Creek to leave the motel you are at, and those who intend to infiltrate should remain till the police force picks you up” John said before hanging up the phone,

“You—_” Alicia stuttered as she could not find the words she wanted to say, she was too shocked. She wanted to stop the process and Angelica stopped her, allowing it to continue.

“You want to see your son? Then quietly wait, we will succeed” Angelica said before turning around leaving, she stopped next to Everest “Take Alicia when the time comes, I will contact Master to notify him of our operation”

Sitting in the room were two girls and a boy, there was few people who attended this which naturally included Angelica, Everest and Alicia who sat at the back watching the entire process while keeping their eyes out for any of Nightrise personnel. There were two tables facing the judge, and a middle-aged woman dressed in black sat between the flag of Nevada and the Stars and Stripes.

A clerk took notes and a security man stood by with a seen-it-all-before look on his face. There were two rows of chairs at the back of the room. No press or public was allowed into a juvenile court.

Sakura & Stephani only had their hands shackled, unlike Jamie whose hands and feet were shackled. This caused Jamie to feel alarmed, but looking at Sakura and Stephani who was nonchalant throughout the process, he was able to calm down a little.

The three of them had been arrested, supposedly, for selling drugs at school and on the street, a crime which would guarantee him jail time. It was all fake, of course. The probation officer and the lawyer who was fighting against each other during this court session were both parts of the set-up, somehow connected to John Trelawny, who had arranged the whole thing.

They had even given the three of them with false names, Sakura’s false name is Ming Hayami, Stephani’s false name is Elizabeth Hugo, Jamie a false name is Jeremy Rabb. Their case number is J89567.

Somehow they had managed to slot the three of them into the Nevada juvenile justice system and, as far as the plan was set up, the judge was the only person in the room who didn’t know what was really going on.

“…the sentence set down by this court is twelve months in a detention facility…” The judge was

talking. She turned to the probation officer. “I’ve looked through the case files and I think Summit View would be appropriate.”

But the probation officer was shaking his head. “With respect, your honour, I was going to recommend Silent Creek.”

The judge was surprised. “It’s pretty tough out there,” she remarked. “The girls are both seventeen, and the boy is only fourteen and this is just a first offence.”

“Yes, your honour. But they were selling crystal meth to kids as young as ten. Some of them are now in rehab programmes, out of school. Rabb has shown no remorse. In fact, he’s been pretty pleased with himself.” the probation officer explained why he was so stubborn on having them sent to Silent Creek.

The judge thought for a moment, then nodded. “Very well. It’ll be a hard lesson, but maybe that’s what he needs.” There was a file in front of her. She closed it. “Twelve months in Silent Creek.”

The temperature would rise quickly as soon as the sun rose and they planned to drive all night. There was nobody else on the bus: just the driver, an old man and a guard who had briefly checked their restraints and then ignored them all together afterwards.

After a while of driving, they made a turn leaving left the highway and were following a track, kicking up a cloud of dust all around them. Only sand and scrubland could be seen along with a few Jericho trees dotted around the landscape. A mountain range, burned red by the sun, stretched out across the horizon.

Then the road dipped. They had come to a miniature valley. And now he saw his new home, Silent

Creek. The two words were written on a sign, and there was nobody else to read it for miles around which made it feel unnecessary since everyone who was sent here knew where they were.

‘We have almost arrived at Silent Creek’ Sakura sent a telepathy message to Angelica who had been following them together with Everest after making sure that Alicia is fine with her friend,

‘Good, now follow the plan. We have to find the leader of the Cannibals or at least the one that is leading them in this facility while saving our two targets’ Angelica reminded Sakura briefly of their objective, that’s right. The four girls were not saints, they were using Jamie and Alicia’s predicament to further their investigations and kill their targets.

‘Roger’ Sakura cut the telepathy glancing out at the long rectangular compound stood in front of her. The buildings were low-rise but they were surrounded by a razor-wire fence at least ten metres high. There were two satellite dishes pointing up towards the sky, and on the other side was a playing field with no grass and only two goals.

At the far end of the pitch, there was a wall like all the other buildings, made out of cinder blocks and topped with more razor wire. As they bounced down towards the main gate, Sakura caught a glimpse of more buildings on the other side of the wall but realized she would be unable to see them again without the advantage of height while being in the minibus.

For some reason, Silent Creek had been divided into two: one third on one side, two thirds on the other. ‘Could it be the Cannibals had already infiltrated here deep enough to divide a section for their personal use?’ Sakura thought,

maintenance staff lived. After a while, they had stopped in front of the gate. This was the entrance to the prison, known as the sallyport.

There was a buzz and the gate slid open electronically, allowing them into a narrow corridor between two lines of razor wire. The minibus jolted forward and stopped in front of a second gate. This only opened when the first one had closed.

‘Security is quite strict’ Sakura glanced out the window seeing numerous cameras covering almost every angle of the prison, ‘It will not be easy to move around here, not to mention we have to be careful of using magic..’

The minibus stopped one last time. The door hissed open.

“All right! Out!” They were the only words the guard inside the minibus had spoken since they had left.

Shuffling out of their seats, the three of them went along the aisle and out of the door.

“This way!” The guard led him to a door set in a wall, which opened as they approached. Sakura noticed yet another camera, mounted high above. It swivelled to follow him when he moved. The door led into a large, shabby room with a second officer sitting behind a desk with a computer.

“Sit down!” It was the second guard who had spoken. He was casually dressed in jeans and a shortsleeved shirt. With no weapons equipped, this man was in his forties, with black hair tied

behind his neck. He obviously had Native American blood.

“My name is Joe Feather,” the man said. “But you call me Mr Feather or sir. I’m the Intake Officer and I’m going to process you and then show you into Orientation. Do you understand?”

Sakura nodded, theMr Feather glanced at Jamie and Stephani who nodded along with Sakura, only then did he start asking questions.

“The three of you will soon be going to find it tough here. You’ve all had a spell in juvie – is that right?” Mr Feather asked,

“Yeah.” The three of them nodded,

“Well then you know the basics. Keep your head down. Do as you’re told. It’ll make it easier on you.” Mr Feather nodded at the other guard. “You can take off the shackles.”

Clank! Clank!

With their hands, and Jamie have both hands and feet unfastened felt relieved, they have finally infiltrated the prison and that meant their mission would be starting from this point forward.

In the next twenty minutes, their details were entered into the computer which was all their false identity and details

“The three of you will split up, and go into the shower and strip,” Mr Feather said while glancing at the two girls with sympathy. “I want all your clothes, including your undėrwėȧr. Do any of you have any piercings?”

The three of them shook their heads

“OK. I’ll pass you your new kit…” Mr Feather called out a female officer who took Sakura and Stephani, while he took Jamie into another shower room.

Jamie went into the shower and drew the curtain, it was as he was told by Angelica that they would not be given any privacy during the initial integration into the prison. As Jamie stood under the running water, he was aware of Mr Feather examining him from the other side, being watched made him feel embarrassed and turned away. That was when the officer saw the tattoo on his shoulder.

“Mr Rabb…” Joe Feather spoke the words softly. “Turn off the shower.”

Jamie did as he was told. He stood with drops of water trickling down his shoulders and back.

“Where did you get that tattoo?” Mr Feather demanded.

“I’ve always had it. It was done when I was born.” Jamie answered

“You have a brother?” Mr Feather asked once more,

Jamie froze. ‘Have I been exposed already?’ “I don’t have a brother,” he said immediately trying to shove the thoughts to the back of his mind hoping that it was not true.

“No brother?” Mr Feather asked feeling suspicious,

“No, sir.” Jamie answered without hesitation, yet he felt worried.

Joe Feather handed him a bundle of prison-issue clothes.

“Put these on, and then I’ll take you in.” Mr Feather said,

Jamie was the ninety-sixth boy to arrive at Silent Creek, whereas Sakura and Stephani were the eighty-seventh and eighty-eight girls to arrive. The people working at the prison who was not aware of the workings behind the scenes found this situation suspicious, yet due to them not being qualified on the need-know-basis they did not question it and simply carried on with their work. Except for a special few.

The prison could hold two hundred in total with twenty-five full-time guards or supervisors, as they called themselves just to watch over the hundred-plus children who had been imprisoned here. There were four living units in the North, South, East and West and life for them was arranged so that the inmates were kept apart as much as possible.

That way, rival gang members bȧrėly saw each other and never spoke. Each unit ate at a different time there were four sittings for every meal and there were four exercise times in the prison gym. The age range went from thirteen to eighteen.

There were rules for everything.

The boys had to walk with their hands clasped behind their backs.

The girls were not allowed to be alone with a boy.

They weren’t allowed to talk while they moved and they couldn’t go anywhere, not even the toilet, without ȧduŀt supervision.

They were watched constantly, either by supervisors or security cameras. They were patted down after every meal and if a single plastic fork went missing, they were all strip-searched.

There were six hours of school every morning, two hours of recreation inside the gym building due to the heat outside and two hours of TV. Only sports channel was allowed, never movies or news.

The prison uniform consisted of blue tracksuit trousers, grey T-shirts and trainers. All the colours had been chosen carefully.

There were library books for the inmates who could read, there was solitary confinement or loss of privileges for anyone who stepped out of line and even an untied shoelace could bring instant punishment if the supervisors were in a bad mood.

And there was the medical wing. The teenagers who were violent or unco-operative went to see the doctor in a small compound set right against the cinder-block wall. They were given pills and when they came back they were quiet and empty-eyed.

One way or another, the prison would control you. That was the vibe the prison gave them who entered here for the first time. Jamie was sent to live in the eastern wing while Sakura and Stephani were sent to the northern wing, it was quite surprising that Sakura and Stephani were not split up other than different cells that were right next to each other.

But the reason for that was that the guards had malicious intentions, since in each cell there was a gang member that bribed the guards wanting new girls to be moved into their cells for the night.

“What a nice piece of meat” an African bulky boy wearing nothing but shorts stared at Sakura who entered the cell, if it was not for the guard that was still watching them he would have already pounced on the girl. Because this guard was not part of those who were corrupted.

“Don’t do anything unwarranted, or I will personally send you to the black box” The officer said while feeling impatient to head to his boss and complain, it was already against the rules that a boy and girl were sharing the same cell. So he wanted to report, after glaring at the African boy one more time he left.

“Now then, strip” The African boy said ŀɨċkɨnġ his lips, the pupil of his eyes expand and shrink as his ċhėst heaved from his heavy breaths, he found it hard to contain his ŀust towards this beautiful girl with big brėȧsts.

Yet what happened then, the entire cell block was filled with nothing but terrifying screams that raised the body hairs of the inmates while all males felt their balls shrunk and their dragons were trying to shrink as if trying to dig back into their bodies.

Within a single night, both Sakura and Stephani had created the first two man-women in prison.
