Billy's memory was a bit fuzzy after the massive Trooper kicked him out of the train car and halfway across the under pass. The site of the massive man jumping toward him and almost crushing his head is burned into his psyche. He remember being picked up by his massive steel collar and dragged for what seems like forever to the Troopers massive armored vehicle. Billy must have blacked out at some point because he did remember the entire trip, just waking up as the Trooper tossed him like a 40 pound bag of flour into this steel cage in the back of the APC. It was barely big enough for him to get on all fours. It was heavy thick steel and was burning hot from the sun.
The Trooper left him in the cage as they drove out of the city, through the night and into the next day before stopping. Billy was soaked in his own sweat, the cage held the heat from the day into the night and seem to get hotter as the next day arrived. Billy had no food or water in that time. When he asked for some, the Trooper snarled and said, "Don't know if it worth wasting water on you yet. Depends on what the General and your benefactor says. We'll find out real soon." The way he said gave Billy chills even though he was covered in his own hot sweat.
At first Billy couldn't see much. He could tell they pulled into a building but not much else. The cage didn't give him much of a view. He heard the Trooper get out of the vehicle and pull something out. Billy could hear the heavy steps and the Trooper walked around and set something up. Billy suddenly heard another voice and the Trooper responding.
"I apprehended on William Raymond Pratt 19 hours ago in what used to be Belisburg before the conflicts. During the chase I found at least 1 other victim of Mr. Pratt. That brings his count up to 11 murders." Billy shivered again. Fuck, someone new about all the others. Even when he went to trial before, they only knew about 4-5 of them. Billy heard another deep voice say, "Bring him out for judgement." Judgement! Billy though. They were suppose to be taking him back to prison.
The heavy foot steps came back around to the back of the APC and the Trooper opened the cage door. Even though Billy was weak from lack sleep water and food, he tried to kick the Trooper. The massive mas slapped his foot away and grabbed his ankle. He yanked Billy out of the cage. Before Billy could try anything else, the Trooper slammed his massive fist into Billy's ribs, three times. The first blow knocked all the fight out of Billy, the other two were just for fun. Billy tried to crumple to the ground but the Trooper grabbed the the chains to his wrist manacles and lifted him off the ground. Billy looked up at the Troopers smirking face as he carrier Billy around the vehicle where a portable video screen and camera had been setup. On the screen were two men, one as another massive Trooper like the one holding him up and the other was the father of the last man he was convicted of killing. Some crazy rich fucker who his lawyer said made sure Billy never got a break during his trial. He saw hate in that man's eyes.
