Re: RyCorp: Checking on Harry
Gwen was listening to Perry through the earpiece, while listening to Jason, and while listening to the security chatter. Perry was totally trying to talk to Harry, and he was asking questions, and Gwen could totally tell he wasn't echoing when he talked to her, which meant he wasn't back in the vent. "Shit. Shit. Shit." She wasn't even quiet about her use of profanity. "Perry, listen to me. You need to come back through the vent immediately, okay? If they catch you there, then we're both going to be in super big trouble. If you get caught here, we have a feasible lie, but if you get caught there-"
That was as far as she got before she heard the thuds getting louder on Perry's side of the earpiece. She muttered desperately to Jason, even though she knew Jason wouldn't be able to answer (since he was flanked by League security). "Jason, I think Perry's going to-"
It was (apparently) a day for truncated sentences, because Gwen didn't get anything else said before RyCorp security burst into Harry's room. They took one look at the panicked boy on the bed, and they wasted no time in grabbing Perry by the arms and escorting him out. A doctor bustled in as they left, to check on the patient, his tray laden with syringes. As for the RyCorp guards, they weren't talkative. In fact, all attempt for discussion was ignored.
Back in Gwen's room, she got the grate back on securely, and she was sitting demurely on the bed when the League guards arrived. She wasn't wearing the Bluetooth (which she'd hidden behind the toilet tank), and she'd wiped all local data from her iPad. She insisted no one had been with her. Jason's doctored security footage helped with that as far as the League went (in the short term), but RyCorp footage clearly showed a boy climbing from a vent.
