[b]Lauren - Cells - Lynn, Katie & Floyd[/b]

She leaned back against the cell door and breathed heavily. She stared at Floyd, unsure if he was not going to go on the offense again, even as he sat against the wall, looking defeated. Lauren saw the tears in his eyes and she slowly shook her head. All Tyler did was cause pain and suffering; The proof was right here, in the eyes of the individuals before her.

Lauren dropped to her knees before Katie and put her hands on the little girl's shoulders. "Katie, no one's going to hurt anyone. We just need to get a few things straightened out. Make everyone happy, you know?" She looked up toward Lynn. "We can't let Lynn out right now, but it's just a misunderstanding. We'll get her out as soon as possible." Her words were for Katie, but Lauren was giving Lynn a silent promise. She stood now and walked toward the woman's cell. "Where did Tyler take the teenager?" She asked, pointing toward Emma's old cell.

[b]Tyler - Arena - Jessalyn[/b]

He stared at Jessalyn impassively. Lynn had clearly brainwashed her; It would take more than an afternoon to get her on his side. "And Lynn is a strong fighter. I wouldn't worry about her dying to a walker." He crossed his arms, a glare settling on his face. "I doubt you've ever been in a position of power in your life. You don't know the first thing about being a leader. You would shrivel and die almost immediately."

He paused his monologue when Brad approached them. The man looked grim, one hand rubbing at his neck."Boss, there's been a few problems while we were out," he said, pointedly ignoring Jessalyn.

Tyler let his glare linger on the woman before turning to Brad. "As per usual."

"Harley was caught stealing supplies. Bull's locked him up and your kid's the one who caught him." A raucous cheer from the arena interrupted him. Berk had won. Brad patiently continued when they died down. "And Hex was trying to rape the new girl. He wasn't able to go through with it, though."

Tyler's hands balled into fists. There was incompetency at every corner. Every day, his careful society crumbled, like a slap in the face. "As you can see, Jess, despite all of my efforts, these men continue to act out of bounds. Do you call this my fault? It is simply a symptom of this new barbaric world we live in." He turned on Jess now. "I will have to kill these men. Hang them. That is the only solution now. I guess you might enjoy that, the death of monsters." He let that sink in for a few moments. "Brad, take Jess to her quarters. I'll deal with these men."

He walked away, barely able to contain his anger.
