Jill slipped down and shut the door, she grabbed her flashlight and turned it on Jake, "what? Don't trust me?" she asked sarcastically and walked past him, she walked down a dark hallway, the flashlight guiding the way. "Don't worry about us, we only want to keep people safe. Honestly, we wouldn't kill you unless we had a reason." she glanced back at Jake. "Do we have a reason?" she inquired, not expecting an answer. Jill walked and walk, leading him through hall after hall, it was a maze of confusion and disorientation. Suddenly a light loomed ahead of them and Jill quickened her pace, "this is the main hall." she said, she came into the light and in this room stood a good 50 teens and pre-teens, all gabbing and laughing, fire-places lined the walls and were all lit.
"Is Devon back?" she asked one of her group members. He blinked, "I think so." He pointed at Jake, "who?"
Jill rolled her eyes, "don't ask, I need to take hm to Devon first." she murmured, she looked at Jake, "you are safe now. Do you have name?" She cocked her head, she still wasn't entirely sure this guy was stable, her guard was up but she had to call him something. "I'm Jill."

She watched the girl run off, and shrugged. She didn't matter anyways.
"So Amara..." She said, sliding into the driver's seat and rolling down the windows to alleviate the stench. "You know where to go, right?" Without waiting for an answer, she floored the pedal, and sped off onto the forest road.

"Well, Jake, welcome to the Crosshape headquarters." She waved her hand around the huge room. By now they had drawn the attention of most of the teens. Jill arched a brow and watched Jake, "I don't know if Devon is back yet, but he will be happy to have another, I'm sure."
She stepped down and into the room, "you can stay here and hang or come with me if you want."

Jill chuckled, "Devon Clary is the leader of Crosshape, he saved most of us from death." She looked around the room. "everyone you see, is a refugee of the law." As soon as they crossed the room filled with bedraggled and dirty teens and children, Jill turned to face Jake.
"Devon has kept us safe here. Making sure no one finds us, in return, we help him get rid of the adults who would have us Unwound." Her voice was tight and hard as ice. Her eyes glinted with a held back malice that threatened to jump through her hazel eyes (ooc: I keep forgetting her eye color!!) Then just like that it was doused and she smirked.
"I'm going to see if Devon's back." she strutted off again in the direction she had been going and came to a door made of polished wood, far too fancy for the undergrounds they lived in.
She pushed the polished oak open and inside, was a brand new group of thirty or so unwinds, waiting to get dried and given the "talk" etc. Jill wasn't even fazed by it and she walked through the group until she spotted Devon and the green in his hair that was his signature look.
"Devon." she called. His sharp emerald eyes looked up and he murmured something to a girl before standing and coming over to Jill. "Hey." he greeted, his eyes falling on Jake, they went back to Jill with a question and she looked back at Jake.
"This is Jake, I found him in an alleyway. He's one of us."
Devon nodded, he held out his hand, "pleased to meet you." he greeted. "I'm Devon, welcome to our Sanctuary, Jake."

Jill watched Jake, he seemed...what was the word? Un-trusting of her leader, of course, this was a natural reaction to someone as daunting as Devon. His eyes made adults scream, they were so very snake like and he had been born that way.
Devon smiled, "don't need to be nervous, we are all equal here." he slapped Jake on the back, "I just saved this group from a Harvest Camp." He turned, "and my men." he waved his hand at some of the Unwinds who lined the walls, checking to make sure all the kids they rescued were O.K.
Devon's face became grim, "we did lose one." he looked at Jill and she stared back.
"You did what you could, Devon. No one asks more." she reached out to squeeze his arm, a comforting gesture, but let her hand fall. She remembered that Devon didn't like to be shown comfort.
"Right, so... yea, Jake needs our help, can he stay?"
Devon turned his unreadable face to Jake, "certainly."

IC:Jill turned to looked at Jake and gave him a half-smile, "Ok! Come with me Jake, I'll show you where you can stay." She started to walk away and glanced back, "oh Devon, later I need to have a talk with you."
Devon nodded, his eyes not straying from Jake.
Jill left the room, expecting Jake to keep pace with her.
OOC: Jake can now ask questions about Devon if you want, now that they are... alone. XDD
