Lioni sits in the back of the limo going over her financial records for the Asylum and thinking about how she will tell the Prince she released Aurelle. It truly was necessary, the girl was going to do whatever the hell she wanted regardless of whether or not Lioni gave her permisiion. She had been released before her torper and would now stand on her own two feet. She was a loose canon and Lioni could not afford to let Aurelle take her down as well.

As she stares out the window considering her options, she feels a huge weight drop in her stomach. Like someone has just punched her in the gut. Doubling over with the impact, her eyes open wide as she feels the destruction of Icarus.

She grabs for her purse, trying to get to her phone to send a text to Miss Scotts, the Mekhet whip when another punch wracks her body.

This time she ends up on the floor of the limo, barely able to move as she feels Davis destruction.

What the fuck is going on?

She wonders, her mind in a fog of pain and loss. The thoughts that were always whispering in the back of her mind were now quiet and still.

Then, the door to the limo opens and her driver is frowning at her.


"Ms. Dupree, are you all right?" He asks, bending over to help her to her feet.

Lioni pulls herself to her feet, using the driver to cling to.

"I-I don't know. I just feel very woozy suddenly."

She looks at the building of the Utilities Division and notices the back door is slightly ajar.

She abandons the driver and begins to run toward the building. Pushing the door open, she rushes down the hall to enter the foyer of the Prince's haven. She finds Mr. Caller on the floor nearly ripped to pieces, his entrails spilling out of his body to spread across the floor. Blood and darker things were sprayed on the walls and furnature.

She rushes further into the building to find Mr. Body in a similer condition at the door to the Prince's office. The door is broken nearly in half and hanging by one hinge. As Lioni enters the office, she sees the Rat, or what is left of him, spread out among the destroyed furnature and papers. She also finds three piles of ash. One, she recognizes as Davis because of the shreds of his jacket near the pile. The other two she identifies as the Prince and Karsh, both have items within the ash piles identifying them.

Stepping back, now in a daze, Lioni pulls out her phone and begins to dial. She turns and rushes from the room and back to the limo.
