"I l-like this shirt," Jerry mumbled, sniffing as his brain tried to weigh the options of Jordan's disappointment and Candace's judgment. His face looked positively green. "I've N-NEVER- look I just... I d-d-didn't DO ANYTHING!" Misery had evolved into anguish but at least the waterworks had stopped. "Fine. Fine, I'll text Candace, just to be sure," And to show them he wasn't afraid of anything. Except being in a foreign prison. He wobbled and hummed frantically to himself as he typed quickly. Eight Text to Candace: Help arrested in Scotland, all Rep and Mel's faults need bail they took my guitar please come quick

Candace had only been asleep for a couple of hours, and not only that she had was in bed with one of her favorite people. That was why when she heard her phone go off she glared at it. You had to be ******** kidding. She reached for it and checked the time, her eyes narrowing in a way that if looks could kill not only would her phone explode the a*****e who was texting her would explode as well. Too bad such a thing wasn't possible. The only reason she was checking was in case this was her division leader of the division assistant. She rolled her eyes when she saw it was Jerry, wondering briefly why he was texting her before she actually read it. He..got arrested...Mel? Melvin? Bilious Text to Jerry:What the hell did you do? Do you have any idea what time it is, Jerry? And then after a minute she sighed and regretfully got out of bed. Text to Jerry You owe me. Be there soon. There better have been some ******** coordinates for wherever in Scotland he was.

Harrison opened one eye in the dark, groping for the phone. It took him longer than it should have to figure out what it was.
"Mhh,"
Sleep had been uneasy, and like Rep had noted, while Harrison was a morning person he wasn't much of an off-schedule person. So this middle of the night s**t was not for him. He rubbed his face and gave Jordan's cheek a sleepy kiss, before dragging himself over to the closet to get some pants and shoes on.
He also had to stare uncomprehendingly at the closet a moment to remember what items of clothing he needed.
"Least he's okay," he said, finding a roll of socks too.

Jordan narrowed his eyes at the text he got in return. Rep knew he was in trouble and was trying to be sweet to deflect it. That wasn't going to work. Much. He glanced at Harrison's phone as Harrison read it, noticed that he'd gotten a different text with no mention of whose fault it might be, and flipped his own phone shut with a snap before getting out of bed and yanking his clothes on. "That's a good thing," he replied. "Means I can yell at him without feeling bad about shouting at an injured man."

Rep facepalmed as Jerry decided to text Candace. "For ******** sake man, the last thing we need is bitches coming to gloat at us. Do you enjoy humiliation?"
He took a long hard look at Jerry. "Don't even answer that."
He did however make a point of not listening to Melvin's protest about the nickname, sprawling indifferently on the mattress. He didn't care what kind of people had slept there before him, in some ways no matter who they were they had once upon a time been his people, and the thought of them was somehow less repulsive than those who thought themselves his superior on the island. Jerry's misery also had a passive cheering effect, like a weight on a scale.
It was fortunate that the police had been so distracted by the other sun they hadn't confiscated his phone again yet, so he sent another well judged text.

Breaking a phone by throwing it across the room would require paying for a replacement. It would also necessitate repairs to the wall. Jordan spent a few seconds considering it anyway.

Harrison yawned and sat on the bed, getting into his civis.
"What do they got over there? Quid? Have to-" another big yawn, "balance out the- thing, budget."
He contemplated his shoes.

Jordan growled. "Don't remind me. ********." He snagged his wallet off the desk and checked to make sure that the card in it was current and he remembered the name on it. "About ready to go?"

"Mm." Harrison didn't think to ask if Jordan wanted to make coffee first. Mentally, he still registered the trip about on par with getting up in the middle of the night to take a piss, and after planned to crawl right back into bed.
He checked his wallet too, and made sure he had his keys and B0nez's flashdrive. He pushed aside the feeling he was forgetting something- it was a short trip, before steering himself doorward.
He squinted at the hallway lights.
Then he went back in to pick up some sunglasses and a jacket.
He folded his arms as he walked beside Jordan to the portal, shoulder-to-shoulder, and trying to get his thoughts to align properly. What had he been dreaming about? There'd been a boat...

Jordan glanced at Harrison's bleary-eyed, drowsy expression, and the angry set of his brows softened for a moment. Then he remembered why they were up before Harrison's usual waking-up time, and the scowl returned in full force.
When they told the portal tech where they were going, the tech eyed them and remarked cryptically, "Quite a party, huh?" He keyed up the coordinates and activated the portal, and Jordan stalked through, trusting that Harrison would be right there with him.

"I'll be back. Don't wait up." Candace called as she walked out of the room and down the hall, checking her purse one last time to make sure she had everything. Wallet, ID, card. Good. Everything was in order.
She arrived after Jordan and Harrison had already left, waving off the strange look the portal tech was giving her. "I need um..Scotland. The same coordinates Rep, Melvin and Jerry took."
"You at least look more pleasant than the last guy."
Candace blinked. The last guy? She frowned thoughtfully and stepped through the portal once the coordinates had been set and activated. And then she realized...Jerry never told her which ******** station he was at.
"Goddamnit Jerry." Candace muttered with irritation as she took out her phone. They probably took it away by now. "Swear to god.."

"This is all YOU TWO'S FAULT," Jerry had passed from wet, sloppy panic into angry panic, his hands balling into fists as he pushed himself back up to his feet, "How'd you get yourselves ARRESTED, anyway??" Granted, he was still absolutely confused as to why HE was arrested, it couldn't have been that hard, but honestly!

"MY FAULT?! Ohhh no. You are not pinning YOU getting arrested on me. I asked you, as a friend, if you could bail me out. Something I would do if it happened to you, and considering how ******** quickly it happened, it probably would happen in the very near future to you. I didn't get you arrested. You did that on your own, in record time I might add, by bluskering or whatever the hell it was." He crossed his arms and started to pace, feeling rather pent up and very uncomfortable. This place made him feel sick, uneasy, and continued to strip at the thin emotional control he had right now. Deep breathes. Deep breathes. Deep breathes.
He was on a ********! He couldn't even use damn mental escapism because the image he used to use in the past now made him think of the stupid island he had left. Ohhh, this was great. Just throw his head into a furnace. He was done!

It was captivity with a show, he couldn't really have asked for much more than that, even if the cell had a TV fitted it wouldn't provide better entertainment than watching Melvin berate Jerry.
"It's no my fault either." Rep said coolly, the very picture of zen as he crossed his arms behind his head."I was just being a good caring mate and taking Goldiebitch out to the pub for a drink. He was drinking in the pod room on his tod. Long story short, there was a fight, we trashed a bar, no one died."
He ran a hand through his hair - it didn't make much difference considering how messy it was already - and smirked. "And now we are one big happy ******** jail family. Lovely."

Melvin turned and just held his hand up as if he could squeeze his self control in his hand as he made a fist of it, trying, really trying not to loose it. "William..." Melvin started, his voice a sweet tone. "...if you keep calling me that, I will make you regret it. Remember, I am a Lifer. I know where they keep the failed experiments."
