To say that he liked laboratories would be a lie. In fact, Kaneki couldn't think of anything he disliked more.

Rubbing his sore lower back, where they'd cut into to look at his kakuhou, he sighed. At least it was over. He was grateful they'd at least had the decency to put him to sleep before slicing his body open like they were carving up meat. An involuntary shudder ran through his body.

Hide-where was Hide? He hadn't seen him since after he finished his interview. How long had it been since then, anyways? As he and his escorts made their way back to the entrance hall of the facility, he wondered just how much time had passed. He got his answer when he saw the clear night sky outside the large building.

"How long did that take?" he asked, turning to one of the investigators.

He looked down at his watch. "Seven hours and thirty two minutes precisely."

Geez, I must have been pretty interesting,Kaneki mused.

They got into the car they'd taken over to the facility. The one he had spoken to got into the driver's seat, while Kaneki was squished in between the other two in the backseat. Was all this really necessary? If he were going to attack them, he would have done so already. Orders were orders, though, he supposed.

The car ride to wherever the hell they were going next was silent, save for the hum of the engine and the sound of the wheels on the pavement. Kaneki finally managed to muster the courage to question what was happening next. Nobody replied. He exhaled in exasperation, slightly irritated. He was tired of not knowing what was going to come, but he didn't press.

The car pulled up to a building that looked like an apartment complex. They parked, got out, and went inside the building. "Kaneki Ken," one of the investigators told the receptionist behind the front desk.

The receptionist looked at Kaneki. "This is him?" he questioned, eyebrows raised. The investigators nodded, and he smiled in amusement. "You don't seem so fearsome for an SS rated ghoul."

Kaneki said nothing, unsure whether or not he was trying to provoke him. If he were, he wasn't going to get a response. The receptionist shrugged it off and pulled up something on his computer. "Kaneki Ken, assigned to room 104 with Nagachika Hideyoshi," he stated.

A sudden wave of relief ran through his body. Kaneki could have cried with joy at the fact that he and Hide were being allowed to stay together. Had Akira pulled some strings?

The receptionist passed out three keys to the investigators and told them where the room was. Thanking him, Kaneki's escorts led the way to the room. Kaneki felt his heart rate speed up as they neared closer to it. Room 98, room 100, room 102, and there it was.

Room 104.

One of the investigators that went into the interview with Hide stood guard outside the room. He moved out of the way when one of Kaneki's escorts stepped forward to unlock the door, and they went inside. They were greeted with the sound of a television playing in a different room. Then, there was the sound of footsteps approaching them.
