Dinner Disaster [CoR II]

Chapter 29 - Deranged feline

[Extremely dark with metal plates covered bricks form the very walls of tight enclosures. At first glance it looks slightly like the abandoned building Brandon used to have kept his rival in captivity, but this building truly belongs to the government. It's large, but has limited rooms and lots of emergency escape routes. This indicates it could be considered as an insane asylum, but those had gone out of order years ago.

The moon is bright and high up the sky as hours passed until midnight. An officer, who appears to be an anthropomorphic raven, opens up a large door and has to scan multiple cards in order to gain access to the further rooms. He has slight similarities in look like Erin Warrington, but as ravens are common in the psychological department of healthcare, he is affiliated with taking care of those who are unhinged.

He keeps walking through the halls and his footsteps sound echoingly due to everything being almost completely silent. His keys rustle when he unlocks a very last door and makes his way towards a with metal strengthened glass wall, behind which everything is completely dark. There aren't any windows anywhere and the surroundings turn dead silent as soon as the officer stands still.

He tries listening for any activity in the enclosure in front of him, but grabs his walkie-talkie when there's no sign of life whatsoever. The raven speaks about a few coordinates and receives response from one of his colleagues. After putting the device back in his pocket, he takes a step forward and taps on the glass. The taps are soft, but drill deeply into the oversensitive hearing of the very blue cat that hid herself in the shadows. She had closed her eyes earlier while seeming redeemed, but the noise suddenly makes her glowing eyes open up. Her constricted pupils only narrow more when she sees who delicately disturbed her calmness, and pounces straight into the officer's direction. Due to her limited vision and ongoing savagery, she bumps into the glass barrier and shakes her head once she got on her feet again. The officer gasps and flinches in terror. The still gigantic feline wanders around on all fours while snarling a few times, only to brutally try releasing herself once she felt the three tight chains pulling her down that prevent her from escaping. A muzzle with titanium wire keeps her jaws tightly closed, only making it able for her to breathe or grit her teeth. Harold's blood turned slightly goopy due to it being three hours ago when Nicole had cruelly attacked him.

The raven officer gets up from the ground and shakes his head while stretching a shoulder. Despite having witnessed similar savagery before, Nicole's attempt to attack did scare him for a moment. His expression turns dark as he speaks up in his walkie-talkie again and steps aside when the metal door at the end of the corridor opens up. Two figures, a big and a short one, emerge in the doorstep and approach the enclosure while being accompanied by another raven officer. The first raven nods at the other one and both step back as they let a known bunny and kitten see their familiarity.

Gumball puts his paws on the glass wall as Richard stays standing close to him. The bunny's expression is extremely worried and the blue kitten needs to hold back his tears when he sees the silhouette of his mother being chained up. His ears are low and he tries making eye contact with the big blue feline in front of him. Nicole suddenly emerges from the shadows and walks closer to the glass on all fours while keeping her head low. Gumball gulps and hears the rustling of the metal chains echoing in between the walls. Richard protectively wraps his arms around his son and looks at his wife with a tearful frown.]

Richard: I didn't know you forgot your medicine again... W-why didn't you ask me to check?

[Gumball sniffs and speaks up while keeping his eyes on his monstrous mother.]

Gumball: I hate to say it, but... I have a feeling Mom did not forget them...

Richard: W-why do you think that?
