Kaia's more than happy to keep increasing the pressure so long as he is.
"I couldn't agree more. It's not the test I would have used to find someone of interest, but, the result would have been the same."

Cain starts grinding his teeth.
Must... keep... staring... at...Dog...

"Ey. Stop with the pissing contest."
Dog's voice filled the room for a moment, despite her back still being turned. She maintained her bored posture, even going as far as to pull a cigarette out of the pack in her pocket.
Snake looked over at Dog, and there was obvious disapproval in his gaze. However, he didn't say anything to her as he stood again from his seat, moving to stand behind Rooster. The moment he placed his hand on the taller man's shoulder, Rooster released Kaia's hand, though his eye burned with amusement.
"I'm glad to see you two getting along so well," Snake said with a light chuckle. "What do you think, Kaia? Are you interested in, at the very least, learning more about our organization?"

Kaia allows him to take his hand back, taking that as a win for her.
She looks over at Snake then shrugs.
"Consider me curious."

Nope. Can't figure it out.
Cain glances back to the conversation, not sure how he feels about this whole thing so far.

"Curiosity is all that we can ask for," Snake said with a nod. He offered Kaia a smile. "We have had a few Metas of varying power levels refuse us, for their own reasons. Its been an exhausting journey."

"I can think of a few reasons why they would." Kaia would admit before shrugging.
"But admittedly, some of what you said echoed a lot of my own thoughts. Dunno if I'd necessarily go the illegal business route but whatever. You do what you gotta."

"Depends on whether your oppressors are working in the law or not."
Cain chips in.

"The TSI serves as what basically equates the military police, here. They are the ones keeping Metas from leaving the city, as well as handling anything even perceived as Meta crime. Somebody goes running to them to report anything, and they're the strong arm of the law." Rooster said, nearly spitting at the very thought. His features were contorted in disgust. "As long as its HUMANS reporting it. A Meta gets robbed, or stabbed, or raped... and its all 'Oh, we can't do anything,' or 'there's no evidence.' One of ours got attacked a month ago, and if it weren't for me and Dog already being out, they would have..."
His hands balled into tight fists, as if the very thought was too much for him to handle. It was then that Rat spoke up, his head bowed.
"They were going to try to take her. Kidnap her. There's been a lot of that around the city. When it got reported, they said there was nothing they could do. The cops are all basically slaves of the TSI, in this city."
He stood up, shaking his head and walking past the two. He passed by Dog, who offered him a single nod, before disappearing back into the haze and fog of the warehouse. Rooster stared after him for a second before turning his attention back to Kaia and Cain.
"Yeah. What he said."

"Kidnap her for what exactly?" Kaia would raise a brow.
"Or is that one of those no one who gets kidnap comes back to tell the tale things?"

Cain’s brow furrows, and he scowls.
“That definitely sounds like someone’s abusing their power.”

Rooster gave a shake of his head.
"To be honest with ya. We don't know. The kids that don't get 'saved' by Xapham usually end up with these creeps. We have managed to save a few from them, but not all."

"And they didn't say anything about what happened to them?" Kaia would frown.

The more he heard, the more Cain really disliked every authority in this damn city.

Rooster shook his head. "They don't talk much. At all."
