Chapter 896 Sound The Alarm Gary was a little frozen in place as he looked at Elijah. He remembered the conversations he had with him. He was an ally to him in this dark place, feeding him information on the outside. Yet, why was he with others, others that Gary had all met before? Frank and Sadie, Gary remembered, were the White Rose Agents that had appeared in his city when the incident with Billy had occurred. On top of that, there was Kanu, a squad leader. Gary had met him during his debut fighting match in the AFC. Due to his opponent being an infected Altered, Kanu had come to deal with the matter. "White Rose Agents!" Ice shouted, as he started to charge forward with his club in his hand. "No, wait!" Gary shouted, "Don’t attack them, I know them." Although honestly, he was only sure about Elijah; he wasn’t sure about the others. "What do you mean?" Blackjack said, moving forward. "These guys are White Rose Agents, they're here to stop us, he’s even holding onto one of the prisoners." Blackjack was pointing at Kanu who was dragging one of the others but immediately let go and dropped him onto the floor. "Hey, he attacked us, but I’m not so surprised with the situation the way it is," Kanu answered. Elijah gestured for them to move forward and off to the side. There were still some prisoners that were climbing to the top of the stairs, but as long as they got out of the way, they would continue to run out of the courtroom and into the outside. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺 The prisoners weren’t trying to fight every White Rose Agent they came across; just one of them happened to be a little crazy and had attacked their small group, with Kanu swiftly dealing with them. "We never expected all of this to happen, for an entire prison break to occur, what went on down there?" Elijah asked. "What does it look like, we beat the Warden and broke out," Blackjack answered, still being on the defensive as they were talking to White Rose Agents. However, Gary seemed to trust them, and Blackjack didn’t have a good plan to continue from here. The other prisoners weren’t thinking and just running out, but he guaranteed that not a single one of them would be able to escape. At least not with their strength. "You defeated the Warden?" Kanu said, surprised. Being a squad leader, he knew more about the Warden's strength than any of the others. It was no simple task. The Warden was at least as strong as the Chiefs. Although there were some exceptions among captains like himself. In most cases, Chiefs were incredibly strong. "I see, honestly we were here because we were on our way to break you out," Elijah said nervously. "Kanu was going to distract the Warden while we headed inside and brought you out of this place, but now that things have gotten like this, we're going to have to change our plan a bit." Hearing what Elijah said, Gary thought that if he had just waited a little longer then there didn’t have to be too many deaths, but then again. If he had broken out with Elijah’s help, then how would he have gained the strength he has now? If he was the same Gary as before, he might have been too weak to go up against Sin. "I understand you helping me, but what about the others?" Gary asked. "You can trust them," Elijah vouched. "They wouldn’t have agreed to this plan otherwise. There are some big things going on in the White Rose itself. Things that need fixing, things that you don’t need to worry about, what you need to do is hurry up and go to Slough, they need you there; "Us breaking you out the rest of the way, is the best that we can do." Nodding along, they decided it was best for them to follow Kanu. They were White Rose Agents and knew the place well, and now with the group bigger in size, they had exited out of the courtroom. Running around Kanu was going to the exit that would bring them the least amount of trouble, the least amount of agents for them to get through. "Do me a favor, will you, if we come across White Rose Agents and need to fight, don’t kill them, they're just following orders, and it will only slow us down anyway, attack and head straight forward," Kanu ordered. Gary was fine with this; it was his intention anyway, too much blood had already been shed. "You're a squad captain, right?" Gary asked. "Why are you helping me? I don’t understand even if there is distrust in the White Rose base. Wouldn’t you rather solve that first, I mean nothing to you." Kanu couldn’t help but smile when he heard this. "Gary, you might be a bigger deal to someone than you realize, you see someone from the outside, who’s a close friend of mine asked me to help you out. No matter what the cost was, even if I was to lose my job, I would help him out." Gary was a little confused; he didn’t know many people apart from those in the Howlers. Was it really possible that there was someone out there with this type of pull, to affect a captain, and someone that was so old? In the middle of his thoughts, a loud sounding alarm went off. It was a droning sound that pierced all of their ears constantly, one after the other. Blackjack and Ice covered their ears for a moment, waiting for them to get used to the sound. "What’s that!" Ice asked. "It means the whole of the White Rose now knows what’s going on, it’s going to be a lot harder to get out," Kanu answered.
