"Debatable." He said it with a smile. Which was all the more unnerving; Lifetorn usually aren't supposed to crack jokes, being just barely more than a living body, if indeed more at all. "As you are an officer of the law, though, I'm sure I can give a basic rundown of the events that unfolded."
He sat back against his chair, ever calm. "I mentioned that I was assigned suddenly; the job had already had a few of our members assigned to it, so it was unexpected that we should suddenly pour more support onto the client. I would assume he paid more, but I have no knowledge as to the reason. In any case, we locked him down in a secured room, within a secured location. You'll understand I cannot specify where this location was. In any case, arrival was swift, as if we were in a combat situation, and for two days I was awake and active. I was in a locked position for 30 hours, securing a portion of the perimeter before we had a reported break, and I was almost immediately ordered to fall back to the second barrier point. You can understand the issue presented; that situation is usually indicative of a threat to command and the necessity to give up a perimeter area and consolidate remaining forces. However, it didn't seem as if we lost anyone. I still fell back to my next position.
Now, the first perimeter was the outer layer of a building. Falling back to second was falling back to an inner section of corridors and hallways, with only three points of entry to the center. My team, three of us, held one hallway, and after a few hours had presumed hostiles probe just at our firing range. We fired warnings, they remained behind cover. After a few more hours of even comm-quiet - being little activity to report over communications - we got our order to fall in to the third perimeter, which was at the door of the containment area, for which there was only one viable hallway approach. This time, there was sporadic firefighting for a few hours, during which the client was unharmed, though we sustained two minor injuries.
Eventually, our comm-head suddenly disappeared, which was bad since he was far off and should have been both secure and a ways out of reach. A secondary command ordered us to evacuate if possible, so we managed to do so. Three of us pushed the hallway, as decoy, while the group escaped through a channel that had not been made apparent to the agents on-duty. We were pursued, disengaged the pursuers, and eventually got to a second safe location, where essentially all agents were switched out with a relief crew from a secondary company." He finally stopped. He almost made you want to breathe for him, the way he could just go on and on nonstop. "I would assume speaking with our command network might yield information beyond my personal experiences."
