Ignoring the advice Guy tugged very carefully at each restraint. No dice. He hadn't really expected luck there, so he eased his head back and his eyes closed against the light. This was a pickle, and it was frightening and infuriating but on the bright side he wasn't dead. For whatever reason. That actually puzzled him, as much as it worried him. Asch had thrown his lot in with the replica's group, that much was known, so Jade's interference wasn't too much of a surprise. He didn't think Jade was sentimental enough to keep a traitor alive for old time's sake. So Jade had a reason, and Guy had no guess what that was, and that made him nervous. He didn't really think any reason this man had to keep him intact could likely be considered an advantage, and not knowing the purpose of it was unsettling

"You couldn't ask me over drinks?" Guy opened his eyes again, regulating his breathing as he looked away from Jade to scan the rest of the room that he could see. A lab, somewhat expected, not too surprising. And no, Jade hadn't left anything sharp within convenient reach.

Why couldn't he have been captured by someone less competent? This was a pain.

A short nap had done wonders to revive Guy. Sitting in the dark, alone with his thoughts had done less good. It was maddening--and he still wondered. What was Jade up to? Was Guy being kept as a hostage or something worse? It wasn't like Van would give up anything for Guy's safety and Jade had to know that. So what what is? (It was fortunate that Jade hadn't mentioned what had happened, the discrepancies in time or Van's defeat. It would have left worse things for Guy to consider alone in the dark

Getting out of the lab was the easy part, Guy was hoping that the rest would be as simple. But optimism and realistic expectations... Well. He'd just have to get as far as he could as fast as possible. Weaponless he was pretty screwed if he was caught. He took the hallway cautiously but quickly, lightly brushing fingers over each door handle he passed. As long as the crack beneath was dark and he was able to assume the rooms unoccupied, he'd rather jump out the first window he could.
