IMPRISONMENT #2
The days have gone by quickly. It hasn't been more than three days since Damien was cast out by the group under suspicion of being a Spy. Tensions were at an all time high as each person knew that not a single Spy had been captured. Amongst them, they knew the Spies were working as hard as they could to remain undetected.
Two individuals were arguing in a house on Selwood Street.

"Yes, I'm well aware of the recent statute forbidding people to go outside after dark," Gigi said to Emma. "But if I dont get my kit kats now I'll be miserable all night!"
Gigi closes the door behind her, ending any further protests. "Damn those stupid Spies and their fearmongering," Gigi thinks to herself. "I'm a grown woman, I can take care of myself."
Gigi turns the key in the lock and begins the trek to the supermarket. Despite feeling confident about her safety, Gigi takes her time walking, and is very careful of her surroundings.
A rat scurrying in the darkness spooks Gigi. Feeling silly, Gigi resolves to regain her confidence. It's been a long time since good, honest Citizens started being jailed without reason. Gigi never felt quite that secure amongst her friends anymore. It's time to end this craziness and just get things back to the way they used to be.
Just as Gigi is about to turn the corner, she sees someone.
Depley waves to Gigi and both walk towards the supermarket.
It's surprisingly busy. Several people have also had an urge for an evening snack, it seems, as many people browse the shelves. It's the first day that the statute went into effect, and it doesn't seem like many are heeding it's warning.

Gigi waves at Monica as she picks up some cereal and bread. She turns the corner into the next aisle and nods at Soraya, looking at the recently cut meat. She ends up at the back of the store, looking for the candy aisle, where she finds good friend Josh.
Gigi, Monica, Soraya, and Josh chat excitedly, happy to catch up with each other. Monica cracks a joke to ease the situation, and Soraya laughs nervously. Josh begins looking around the store, trying to see anybody suspicious or anything out of the ordinary.
The supermarket lights crackle and pop for a second. Everyone looks up.
"What's that?" asks Soraya.
"Oh, you know we've had nonstop problems with power since... the last week, I mean. I'm sure it's nothing." says Gigi.
"You are so optimistic." says Monica. "I wish I could share your positive viewpoints. Ever since Andrew's arrest, I just can't seem to get comfort..."
Monica is interrupted as the lights flash violently, then extinguish.
You can hear someone stomping, another running, another clomping. It's coming from the aisle across from you. They're rushing through swiftly. You hear a display of cereal boxes crash to the ground, Fruity Pebbles spilling onto the floor.
The lights spark on and off, illuminating the store with flashes of light.
A scream. "NO! STOP!"
You hear a struggle coming from the aisle on the other side of you. You hear grunts. Someone is being kicked, beaten. You put your hands over your ears to stop the shreiks and drown out the noise, but it's still audible.
"GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME!"
Everyone begins to run for the front of the store, towards the source of light, towards the exit. People begin to gather in a building outside the store and lock the door behind them. All are staring through the window wondering what is going on.
You hear a car engine turn on, and a car screech out of the back of the store. It turns around and zooms past the window. You can barely catch a glimpse of it before the sound of the sirensiren begins to fade in the distance.
You run outside, and see someone's shoe on the ground... someone who lost their shoe in a struggle...
Depley, please post Final Words in your confessional immediately.
Depley has been framed by the Spies for a crime he didn't commit. He has been Imprisoned by the Government.
You will never see him again.
