[quote=Zmerr] "Would you get your hands OFF of me?!" Adalina's shout resonated all the way down the hallway, echoing back to her. She fought the tight grip of the two guards as they practically dragged her along. Her struggle seemed to have no effect on them. "You have no manners whatsoever." She grunted and gave up, making a pouty face. "You're a bunch of meanies." She looked up and tried to make eye contact wth one of them, be he kept his gaze on what lay ahead."We're taking the experiment right to him, right?" One of them looked at the other."Boss' orders." The other nodded."Experiment? Are you trying to me? 'Cause it's not working." Adalina tried to sound tough. Both men ignored her. Finally they came to a stop. The men stood in front of a door, Adalina hanging by her arms between them. One guard reached out with his free hand and knocked on the door."If you knew what was best for you, you'd keep your mouth shut when you see him. Just a warning." The other guard looked at the door as he spoke. [/quote] Vlad was leaving the lab where he had been punishing Alastair. He smiled when he saw two guards carrying Adalina. "Well there you are my pretty. I wasn't expecting my morning to be so busy when I told the guards to bring you to me but this will work. You can watch while I teach Cassandra her place. Hopefully that will make things clearer." Vlad opened the door to another lab. "Bind her to the chair." He told the guards as he made his way to the bed where a white hair girl had been fastened down. [quote=Midori] "My name..." She finally looked up at Maxwell. "... is Spark. There's only one of me, get it?." She really didn't like Maxwell but she could tell that he was that he was probably afraid of the 'Good Doctor' to have tried to threaten her like she was a child. "Before you get your little panties in a twist let me ask you this. What can a person possibly do to you if they're dead? Let me put this in a way a Uni* can understand. What tactical advantage do you gain from negotiations when you have the means and the manpower to eliminate the threat all together?"*(Uni in this case is shorthand for Uniform and is a reference to uniformed police officers) [/quote] "It depends on the situation. Sometimes eliminating the person will cause more damage to the situation." Maxwell explained. "Sometimes you need the person to live. For example if you have a hostage situation if you kill the guy you might injure innocents. Negotiating can be a useful tool. Like I said you probably won't use it often so let's just get through this section alright?"
