While Silver is interrogated by Mylo and Ekko, Lucy and Caitlyn stare at the red haired girl inside of the cell in front of them. Violet. "Vi..you're alive!" Lucy tears up, as she rushes to the prison bars and holds onto them.

Vi quickly does the same. "Ofcourse I'm alive." Vi responds to Lucy, while Vi covers Lucys hand with her own. The two lean their foreheads against eachother, while they smile with tears coming from their eyes.

Caitlyn stands by with an awkward expression. Suddenly she clears her throat, to break up the moment between Lucy and Vi. "I'm sorry to interrupt, but I'm here to ask you a few questions." Caitlyn says to Vi, as she moves in closer to the cell. As Caitlyn spoke to her, Vi seemed to be scoping her out. Looking her up and down, and observing her.

"Who are you?" Vi asks Caitlyn with a non polite tone. "I'm Caitlyn. An enforcer of Piltover. I understand that recently you beat one of the inmates. Why did you?" Caitlyn asks Vi, while looking at her with focused eyes.

Vi turns her eyes to look at Lucy for a split second, before averting her attention back to Caitlyn. "Simple. He was annoying me." Vi responds, though she finds it incredibly hard to focus on the questions. "I'm sorry, why are the two of you together?"

Lucy and Caitlyn make eye contact with one another. Afterwards, Lucy looks towards Vi with sympathetic and nearly saddened eyes. "It's about a blue haired girl we both know.." Lucy confesses to Vi, with eyes of sadness and regret.

Moments later, Caitlyn, Vi, and Lucy walk throughout the crowded areas of the Undercity. Lucy broke down what's happened with Jinx thus far. Now, Vi is dressed in much more comfortable attire. While walking around, Vi has slight disappointment on her face. "I can't believe this place. It's so much different than the Topside" Caitlyn says with a slight smile, as she looks around the area.

Suddenly, her smile begins to drop. "But if you both know this blue haired girl, why don't you tell me who she is so we can turn her in to the proper authorities." Caitlyn proposes to Vi and Lucy, making them stop walking, and slowly turn around to look at her in sync.

Caitlyns eyes wonder off in an awkward manner, as Vi and Lucy stare at her. "Orrr I'll tell you what. You just sit back, relax, and let me talk her." Vi walks extremely close to Caitlyn with those words that come out fairly smooth. "These are Undercity matters." Vi adds.

"Not when people from the Topside are being killed it's not. Why do you want to protect her anyways?" Caitlyn questions, and the moment she does, Vis face drops, and so does her head. "She must be someone close to you." Caitlyn adds with more sympathetic eyes, while watching Vi. Not only sympathy, but also conflicted feelings of what to do next.

Lucy slowly walks in front of Caitlyn, and besides Vi. "There's a lot more going on down here than the blue haired girl that we know. The reason I even told you about her in the first place, is because I trusted you to be one of the good enforcers. Either that, or I'm just so desperate and don't know what to do." Lucy speaks to Caitlyn in a soft tone. Caitlyns eyes begin to grow more conflicted, and it becomes clear when she finds it hard to keep eye contact with Lucy.

"When I was following the blue haired girl earlier, I did that because I wanted to stop what she was possibly going to do. It sucks that I was too late. But here we are anyways. Maybe it sucks that it had to be you, but we're here now. You may get in trouble for helping us, but trust me when I say that it's the right thing to do." Lucy says to Caitlyn, and Caitlyns hesitant eyes slowly starts to break.

"Thank you again..for saving me." Caitlyn thanks Lucy, while looking at her with a small smile that appears.

Instantly Vis eyes widen. A teasing smile comes across her face, and she approaches Caitlyn in a fairly aggressive manner that startles her.  "Ah, so my sister here saved you? Well now you gotta do us this favor." Vi demands, while Caitlyn begins to blush out of embarrassment.
