"No risk at all," he whispered hotly against the side of her neck, small kisses fluttering down it as his tongue swirled over her neck. His hands explored more of her well endowed breasts, his fingers sliping against the fabric of her shirt then collapsed against her, feeling the mountains of flesh beneath his grasp as he did so, he knowingly rubbed his palms against her nipples as he did so.

"I expect every prisoner to desire escape, even ones that appear broken."

He pressed up against her back firmly, a small groan escaping his lips as he continued to rub up against her, feeling her backside pressed up against him and clearly imagining what wonders were to be had, yet he made no move in that endeavor as he felt her hands over his own.

"Road work ... something can be arranged in time, of course executing the information can be risky if done hastily. As for payment ... you have but one thing to offer up of any value at this stage gypsy. But are you willing to pay that price?"

Franz considered for a moment, grinning as a thought occurred to him.

"Mmm .. That's .. interesting." Despite the fact she was a little upset by repeatedly being called a gypsy she couldn't give in to her temper that easily. He could get what he was asking her to pay, drawing soft gasps from the woman's lips as he felt her up, without any offer if he desired to. Which gave him a small portion of her gratitude.

"I'm willing to pay what is required to get out of here.", she began after a brief moment of thought. It felt oddly right, the kisses, the fondling, Ryu was surrounded with pleasure and the strength his superior position had stirred her senses, so why not just accept?

"But .. on the condition that you'll take all the time you need. I don't want things to go wrong because one of us has bad timing."

"Leave that to me," he professed as his fingers slid over her shirt as they pressed against her breasts with soft squeezes. There had been the issue that he could have simply taken her if that was what he truly wanted, though for some reason he had not made that move, perhaps he was setting her up to fail or wanted something else that couldn't be taken but given.

Whatever the case, she could feel his firmness rubbing against her as small kisses reigned down on her neck. Then suddenly he stilled against her, his fingers pressing against her breasts more firmly as she felt him pressed against her.

"I have to get back to my rounds but I will keep an ear opened. Goodnight ..."

One final kiss to her neck before he pulled away from her and headed to the door. She heard it being locked soon there after and when next it was unlocked it was morning, breakfast was given to her then soon there after the cell was opened again, Von Burren stepping into the chamber, his guards staying outside of the cell as it was closed again and she heard it being locked.

"How vis my favorite vubject?"

As soon as she was left all alone her mind began to wonder just what she offered him in exchange for an attempt to escape. The events of the day however prevented her from going any further, taking a break as she got comfortable within the bunk before her vision turned black, falling asleep.

Lust and arousal ebbed away as time went by, once in a while roused her from the pleasant slumber before she could eventually relax. The morning after she was wide-awake, past breakfast last remains of her hunger had vanished and eventually she was standing straight and displaying herself proudly when Von Burren stepped in. She was welcoming the man with a smile upon his entry. "Probably in the best condition ever since I came here, doctor."

"It's a pleasure seeing you again. Let me start off by thanking you for these .. accomodations. I enjoyed the night I've spent here." Ryu was aware that the cell had been locked behind him, trying to reason the doctor's appearance.

From what she could gauge there seemed to be something troubling the doctor, there was a certain look in his eyes though it had been combined with something, curiousity perhaps. He nodded at her words as she spoke them.

"Vis is good, ves?"

He drew his hand out from behind his back displaying a luger. He was not a great shot, not by far but at this range even he could not miss. There was no hesitation in him, he simply pulled the trigger. There was a flash of light, a loud noise and blackness.

The next thing she recounted was finding herself on the floor of the cell, a deformed bullet shell on the floor near her and Von Burren standing over her. His hands at his side, the look of fascination upon his features as he gazed down at her.

"Berry verinsteristing," he muttered to himself.

There was a little blood of her forehead but no visible marks or reason why it was there in the first place. The doctor was still holding the smoking luger too though it was at his side currently, almost forgotten as he gazed down at her.

Ryu opened her eyes wide when she recalled recent events. Her body rested motionless on the ground, head turned to the side where she would find a bullet shell close by. A hand went to her forehead only to find a little amount of blood, she expected the bullet to penetrate her skull, after all he was pointing right at her. She thought this might have been to scare her, gather information about a prisoner's behaviour perhaps, using a blank gun. It seemed quite unlikely considering the circumstances though.

"W-what just happened? I .. I think I passed out." Forearms and elbows on the ground she set up a little, the girl's heartbeat changing as fast as her mood. Her gaze shifted between the doctor and his firearm, making her shudder as she realized that it's been used and it wasn't just her imagination. Clearing her throat she glanced up at the doctor, discomforted by the look on his face and obvious interest in whatever happened.

"Did .. did you just shoot me?" To her it was far more horrifying than the fact she wasn't killed in the process.

"Vye ves," he responded cooly, his eyes still studying her as she sat up. "How voes it feel?"

He watched her for a moment, studying her reactions. It was way too long for his tastes but things seemed to be on track. She healed alarmingly well from a fatal wound that he had just delievered, and while his earlier experimentation with her proofed to be fruitful it was nothing quiet like this.

Von Burren had been interested in her healing but it did take minutes, he had to work that down to mere seconds. With minutes an enemy could still act and do other things to prevent healing or do something as simple as restrain them which would bring a soldier back but in a useless capacity.

But the new batch worked better then the last. He had been able to make the jump quicker and this time with the best results ever. Others always provided mixed results. But now that this took he had known that he could move into other areas of expertise, but not yet.

He had only stuck around to hear her view on things though, if she were not commenting then he'd just bang on the cell door, be let out then disappear. He'd do the same should she tell him, all to eager to write the results down it appeared.

It wasn't until lunch that the cell was opened again and in came Franz wheeling a cart of food. He paused briefly at the door only to shut it then came forward with the cart. "So I have heard that the serum had remarkable effects, better then even the doctor could have hoped."

"Yes I'm fine, thanks for asking!" The woman jumped off the bunk she's been on since morning, on her remark she felt more anger sourging through her very body and mind. Stepping forward she raised her voice in annoyance in case he was going to interrupt her, she didn't understand how something so cruel could be taken as a rather natural subject people would talk about.

"Nobody told me the serum would possibly allow me to recover from any lethal shots! Do you have any idea how messed up this is?"

There was a short moment of silence. Ryu turned away as she considered her temper and the agreement she met with the soldier. Taking a deep breath she wrapped her arms about herself, squeezing her own body as an attempt to reassure herself. It didn't help much, but she thought it might be enough to calm down a little. She then turned back to him while her grip loosened, speaking softly from this point on.

"The doctor shot me in the head, yet I'm still alive .. I've returned from the dead, literally. He didn't stay long after seeing this, so you could say it was a success indeed."

Franz said nothing at first, he simply watched her as thoughts streamed through his mind as he considered what she had to say. When she turned back to face him he had been shaking his head slightly. "I am unaware of what the doctor does outside of the basics, that he is striving to make life for soldiers in the field more bareable but I had no idea that he was working on this."

He paused, his voice lowering too. "For what it's worth I am glad that you are still alive. I have seen many people come and go, though I had little reason to suspect the doctor had a hand in the turn over ratio. Still ... this can prove booth a bane and a benefit.

"If the serum does work then the doctor will no doubt test the limits of it's effectiness and if he's going to such extremes already then he wants to press the limits of the serum to it's fullest. There's no guess to the limits that he may now go to. However, if bullets are no longer a bane we can use that. I was not informed of your state and I am here for the most part. Need to know and all that. So I doubt that there would be many that would know of this. You could essentially feign death, if shot."

Franz fell silent as he considered for a small moment. He crossed the room sitting on the edge of the bed as his gaze tracked her. "There have been disturbances in the East. The russians have made a degree of progress it would seem and there has been talk about moving the camp, but since that takes precious time and the doctor is on the brink of discovery he was loathe to move at all, preferring to do his research I suppose and perfecting his serum so it will be ready when ... if ... the Russians get this far."

He then reached inside one of his pockets sliding out a thin piece of metal that she came to recognize as a file. His gaze drifted to the bars along the window, he studied them for a moment, looked down at the file then back at her.

"This will prove fruitful. Use it only at night though, there's no telling when the doctor will check in on you though he seems more active during the day. You should be able to manage the bars in about two days, a day per bar and by the looks of it you'll need to remove two to squeeze out of there. That will give me enough time to get other things I need and make other arrangements."

Ryu kept standing there, watching as the man explained the situation. No doubt he was helping her now and while she was wondering why he chose to do so she couldn't help but think that he proved to be a convenient ally.

"I trust you. Two days. Don't let me down." She stepped closer, just enough so she could merely reach the file, grasping it softly then trying to pull without making herself seem too eager to start. "I'll see where I can hide it .. somehow." Looking around she figured that somewhere near the toilet might be a good idea since the bunk offered less cover and at the same time was too open, then again if it didn't work out she didn't have much of a choice.

"Anyway .. Thanks for what you've done so far." Ryu bowed slightly, not enough to give similarly pleasant views as earlier but enough to indicate her thankfulness. The thought of his desired payment came across her mind, but it wouldn't matter until everything would be settled.

"There's only one thing. Such specific attempts of escape aren't of everyday occurence, I guess. When I get rid of the first bar and have to wait an entire day before I can work on the second, don't you think the doctor will notice that there is something missing when he might check on me?"

Franz either didn't notice or more likely didn't bring up the change. His gaze filtered to the bars as he studied them for a second before turning back to her. "Removing the bars is not without risk. The doctor usually doesn't notice things all that well being near sighted but there is a chance that he may pick up on something. If not him then another guard.

"However, I have a solution. On the first night file away the bottoms of two bars but leave them in the window so they are not loose. The next night work on the tops and remove them. In this way no one should notice the difference unless studying it for whatever reason."

He paused as he thought for a second. "It is not safe here ..." the comment more of a whisper then anything. Then his voice got stronger, deeper. "I'll see about making the arrangements with the truck they use for construction. You won't be able to take it far but I doubt you want to be around here. If you hide the truck well it may be some time before they discover it and ultimately move their search area to take account of the new location."

As he was finishing the doorknob to the cell was turning, Franz acted quickly. striking out at her cheek with an open palm just as the door was tossed opened, a soldier was there and the doctor,
von Burren gazed at the pair, a little confused it seemed at first then he relayed something in German to the soldier.

Hearing a noise coming from the cell door she froze, her heartbeat rising in an instant with the fear of getting caught if it wasn't Franz who slapped her all of a sudden. Ryu didn't feel a thing as he did it, but knowing who might be about to enter she made an attempt to hide the file in a smooth motion as the attention wasn't on her hands.

She balanced it with barely two fingers as it rested against her arm, facing away from the doctor and his escort. Immediately it seemed like a rash action, if Von Burren was around then it was likely he wanted to check up on the captive and not another soldier. She shouldn't have grabbed it from the beginning. However, they'd have been caught red-handed right away if Franz didn't interfere.

Ryu managed to push aside that trembling and at least hoped they wouldn't notice. While she didn't understand what they were saying she tried to make up some sort of excuse for what they have witnessed. "I .. I'm terribly sorry .. I didn't mean to say .. something inappropriate."

Von Burren brought his attention back to her as she spoke. His eyes were cold, appraising though they flickered away from her back to the sergeant who he declared wasn't to be here. Franz dipped his head and apologized weakly.

"I was cheeking up on the prisoner but she has a foul mouth and insulted my father, associating his great lineage with her ilk, claiming that her family interacted with her's. Lies! I just ... I lost it at that blasphemy."

Von Burren studied Franz for a moment, he seemed to buy that at least he had outwardly, nodding as he did so. Though while his attention had been on Franz Ryu had time to better hide the file.

Von Burres said something to which Franz answered then swiftly departed prior to a covered cart being rolled into the room by the assistance. The doctor got out a strange pair of manacles and tossed them at Ryu as his assistant departed, closing the cell behind them.

"Put vose on, ve vust see the limits of vour powers, ves?"

While they were busy talking Ryu wandered off, not staring at the doctor as if she wasn't waiting for the perfect opportunity but also didn't remain completely off guard. The file would be safe, at least temporarily, it was hidden on the ground near the toilet where it couldn't be seen from most angles. It wasn't a long discussion so she thought that it was still better than carrying it herself the entire time. After that all she did was listen, watch and pray.

Ryu felt a little lost when Franz left, leaving her and the doctor all by themselves. The tension in the air made her feel unpleasant and as she was told to put a pair of manacles on it was as if he already knew. Of course he couldn't, but the thought was gnawing the back of her mind.

Carefully fixing the manacles around her wrists, she made sure they were secure before her eyes finally returned to Von Burren. Probably he was eager to continue with his research, most certainly he would apply cruel techniques to her quite unscathed body. At least she wouldn't suffer if that occured.

"I've put them on. Now .. am I supposed to try and break them .. or something?"

His eyes flickered to the toilet as if curious as to why she had wandered over to it earlier but he found himself being distracted as she spoke to him. His eyes returning to her, gazing down at her secured wrists then grinning.

He seized the manacles by the small chain that had connected them and tugged her forward with one sharp pull as if checking that they were on her securely. When she was forced forward a few steps he had been convinced though this nearly brought her chest to chest with him.

Bringing a hand up to her shoulder he pushed against it sharply driving her away from him and to the bed where the back of her knees hit the bed forcing her to sit upon the edge. Von Burren grinned as he walked forward.

"Nieh," he spoke sharply in his accent. "Tomorrow afternoon ve vill continue vith vour tests. Virte now ve are going to have vome fun."

He reached down towards her, his hands either side of her breasts as he sculpted his fingers against the swell of her breasts, running his touch against their curve before he stopped and squeezed, his fingers pressing into her breasts forecfully. For an older man he still had some strength in his grip and had possible could have injured her had he of wanted. Fortunately for her he had no such wish, at least not yet. He was still grinning at her though as he did this, a bulge forming at the front of his pants as excitement stole back over him at the mere thoughts that had begun streaming through his head.
