  Tommy jumped to the next roof top, determined to get away from his hunter.  Which would be hard considering he may have hurt his ankle earlier today, while trying to help stop a robbery, which he did by the way.

    You see, Tommy is currently being chased by one of the most wanted villains, The Blade.

    You may be asking, how did he get here? And I promise theres a good explanation. Well. It Depends on what you consider good.

    It all started when Dream sent him out to patrol.  His patrol started out like every other one, but within the first two hours he had to stop multiple small crimes!  After that, he had to stop a bank robbery, where he hurt his ankle.  In the middle of it the vigilante, Enderwalk decided to show up!  Sure he was helping but that doesn’t mean he should have!

    After that, he just happened to stumble upon a deal that the Syndicate was doing!  Just his fucking luck, right?  Long story short, he got caught and now here he is.

    While lost in his short monologue, he just happened upon a dead end. Great. He turned to face The Blade, while starting to panic.

    “You have nowhere to go, Riot.”

    “...fuck.”

    Tommy awoke in what seemed like a holding cell. he was tied to a chair, hah, classic movie interrogation.  The ropes were tied around his hands, and feet.  Luckily they didn’t blindfold him, or gag him.

    Tommy looked around, the room was dark, and strangely damp.  There was a single door on the far side of the room.  He looked towards the roof, and found a camera in the corner.

    And then he started singing, purposefully badly, while staring at the camera.  Hopefully someone was watching.

    Eventually, he heard the door open, slamming against the wall behind it, which made him shut up. And flinch. But Tommy doesnt want to talk about that.

    “Oh my god! Will you shut up already? Its bad enough I have to sit out there and watch you on the cameras!”  The guy was tall, and had brown hair.  He was wearing a black sweater and plain jeans.  He seemed like the type of guy who would lose in a fight.  He glared at Tommy.

    “.. how do?”

    The man pulled a second chair into the room, setting it right in front of Tommy before sitting down on it.

    “Who are you working with?” He asked.  Luckily, Tommy is trained in the act of changing the subject.

    “Theres a spider on the floor. Can i name him Shroud?”

    “Answer the question.  Are you working with Dream?”

    Tommy’s grin fell, just a bit. “Why? are you going to tell him that I’m here?" He sounded a bit more panicked than he’d like, but oh well.

     “Im sorry, you DONT want Dream to know you’ve been kidnapped?” The man looked oddly shocked.

    “Please dont tell him, please ill do anything” Tommy was starting to panic more.

     “Hey, hey kid we wont tell him! Just calm down before i get in trouble!”

    A minute later he had Tommy completely calmed down.

    “Alright, Heres what we’re going to do.  Im going to go talk to someone, and we’ll get you into an actually room.  We’re still going to have to lock you in there but it’ll be better.”  Wilbur hesitantly ruffles Tommy’s hair before leaving.
