::The Sentinel moved behind Redblade and pulled the masked man's hands behind him as he placed the shackles about his wrists in a manner that show little to no concern for gentleness.::
"No. To see who you are, and why you REALLY felt the need to run."
::He reaches for the hood and pulls it back, revealing the shock of red hair. The crossbowman's eyes go wide as he trains his weapon once more. The man directly behind him lets out a gasp and steps back, drawing his shortsword as he calls to the two injured men behind him.::
"GO! Alert the Captain, and send reinforcements. We may have just caught Piper!
GO!!"
::The injured men scramble off to get aid for themselves and help.
The man behind Redblade steps bravely forward and reaches a tentative hand to your mask and draws it down, looking at you curiously.::
Not struggling Redblade responds with a calm voice. The less he fought back, the faster this whole ordeal could be cleaned up, he thought.
...He is.
He felt like they were really blowing it out off proportion.
You don't need reinforcements. Can we go already? I would like a word with your superior.
Redblade tries to look over to the guard to see if he can spot the keys for the shackles on the guard, without being so noticeable.

"I fought the law and then I was broken out... Is that a bad thing?"
"Ah well. The men will be disappointed. Still we got you off the streets, didn' we?
Up you go now."
::The man grabs you by the shackles and uses them to help you get to your feet. As he turns you to head you down the alley to the street, you see the keys hanging from a bit of leather on his belt. With a push, he urges you towards the street.::
"Oh, you'll definately be seein' a superior, Sir. You may not be Piper, but you're still under arrest for assault and resisting arrest."
((Where is the other guard and what is he doing?))

"I fought the law and then I was broken out... Is that a bad thing?"
Redblade continued walking, allowing to be guided by the guard as to where to go. While he spoke, he tried to think of a plan of how to get a hold of those keys, but without knowing where the other guard was it was hard to come up with a plan that did not include him being shot by an arrow.
I am in search of this "Piper" man myself. Is there anything you could tell me about him?

"I fought the law and then I was broken out... Is that a bad thing?"
::The man is leading you through the populated streets. Your mask off and hood down, people turn to watch the guard parade you by on their route towards the training grounds and the Sentinel barracks and prison near there.::
"Lookin' to join up, I bet.
Piper is a 'ard man. 'Arder now since he lost his kids. Takin' it out on the town from what I 'ear, and the men that join 'im.
Maybe I should've yet you find 'im. Left 'im rough you up a bit for 'urtin' my friends."
::Shove::
"Won' do you no good to look for 'im anyway. Whole town of guards been searching for ages and can't find 'ide nor 'air of the man. If 'e don' want to be found, 'e AIN'T goin' to BE found, it seems."
::At one point, while turning a corner, you confirm that the last guard is following behind and to one side, his crossbow trained in your general direction, while his eyes move between you and the crowd.::
If I wanted to join him, I'm sure I would have done it without bringing attention from You, The Sentinels, and not to mention even allowed myself to be captured. I have come across him once already, as a matter of fact a few nights ago at that same building we were at and got banged up, which is why it leaves us with some unsettled business.
Please take me to your captain.
Redblade continues walking...

"I fought the law and then I was broken out... Is that a bad thing?"
::Leading you down street after street, you finally come to what you recognize as the main offices of the Sentinels.
Guards on the gate snap to attention as they walk you through the wall and turn towards a low stone building along the side.
Once they reach this building, another guard opens a heavy wooden door, reinforced with iron. The man behind you walks you through and directs you to a desk where an older man in nicer armor sits.::
Captain Draxius Milligan was having a poor day. He too was tasked with looking for Piper and whilst that was generally a pressing concern, the murder associated with Piper had made the matter that much more pressing. People were starting to ask questions and Commander Zaedus, as usual; was too damned busy to be about and lend his assistance.
He sighed as he looked upon Red and then shook his head.
"Resisting arrest, two accounts of assault and one charge of trespassing, if I am not mistaken. Let's add a charge of public nuisance and general intimidation of the good public of this here fine town and I do believe we can put this to rest.
Sergeant, if you'd be so kind as to relieve your prisoner of all personal affects and attire and lock the lout in Cell 2, I'd like to interrogate him later regarding Piper. Make sure he has two men watching him at all times, he seems a shady sort."
And that was the total amount of effort Draxius was devoting to Red at this time. Another guard joined Red's escort and unlocked a barred iron door which led down a set of stairs.
Redblade complied with whatever the captain and guards said and did to his belongings. He followed the guards down the stairs. It was then that the Piper was beginning to fade away in his head and the situation at hand slowly began to kick in. How did it come to this? He was now a prisoner for trying to do what he felt was right. How would his master take it when he got word? He began to worry, and it could clearly be seen by his facial expression. It was the expression that most prisoners had, but it was too late to do anything about it.

"I fought the law and then I was broken out... Is that a bad thing?"
::With a salute to their superior officer, the men guided Redblade down the hall to his cell. Before removing the shackles, they search the prisoner, removing any weapons and such they might find and setting them on a table. They then instruct Redblade to enter the cell and place his hands against the bars.
Once he complies, they remove the shackles and pass him a set of roughspun clothes. Tunic and pants only. And instruct him to change and pass his clothes back.
Once THAT was completed, they take Redblades things and leave him there.::
"Psst!
What you in for, mate?"
::The sound comes from the cell next to him. A stone wall blocks his view of who it might be.::
After having everything stripped from him and thrown into a cell, Redblade could only try and get settled in and just wait. It may be a long time before he steps foot outside of the prison walls he thought. With a heave sigh he walks over to a corner of his cell and places his back on it, slowly sliding down until he's sitting on the ground. It seemed he would have plenty of time now to think things out.
And so it began, the first cell mate trying to make contact with him. He would much rather be left alone, but then he figured maybe... just maybe someone in the prison knew this Piper. He would not rest until he caught him, no matter how long he'd be locked up for.
Nothing... I big misunderstanding really, but in the mix of things I did injure a few Sentinels in the process.

"I fought the law and then I was broken out... Is that a bad thing?"
He smiled. Yeah, everyone was innocent in here, or at least thats what they would all claim just to be set free again. He figured he would have to try and fit in if he were to survive in there for who knows how long.
How long have you been locked up for?
