John grimaced as he realized he forgot the badge. She was right he did tend to do a great many things without thinking... but if he was fair to himself, it hurt to think for too long.
Teleportation 3
John teleported into Buckley's car. "Looks like it you and me beautiful." he looks at her with a grin.
At the desk if they bring up his badge. he fiddles in his pocket. "Must have left it in the glove compartment."

"I see that your talk with the captain hasn't dulled that... charm of yours" Mildred nodded, as she was strangely addressed as 'beautiful' by that man. It wasn't that Mildred was a stranger to flirting in all the inappropriate moments or ways, but she was accustomed to being the one doing the flirting, not the other way around. At least he didn't hit on doctor Montoya, that was something. "He's with me, just wishes that more than just professionally" she joked, sharing a knowing look with doctor Montoya. Maybe she didn't see any workplace affairs in her job, but working in such a place one would think that it was a perfectly reasonable for coping with the madness that building oozed. "Yeah, lets check on her" she nodded, waiting for that guard to guide them in.

Cerberus
He felt somewhat powerless at the moment, and it made him annoyed. He knew how dangerous that was. But still. Sometimes, taking risk was better then waiting, perhaps that would be foolish, but then again, Jade was alone in that place. Could she actually make it out of there? She didn't even know what was going on and he hadn't been able to contact her since john had put the spell on her.
-Then what? We should just sit back and wait? We don't even know what happen down there, nor if she is gonna make it out alone...this might also be a chance to go on with our investigation...you don't have to go you know..-
He said.

Christopher & Cerberus
John looks between you as you discuss what to do next, cutting in as you pause.
"Um, just so we're clear. I'm here to do a job. The job is getting that detective..."
He points at Jade.
"... Out of that blokes brain..."
He points at Mr Hernandez.
"Anything that puts that job at risk, like adding another brain to the mix there by diluting the poison we're using to free Detective Rodriguez, is either a no go, or is going to cost extra. Add to that how narked the Captain would be..."
He trails off for a moment, a thought clearly occurring to him.
"...And you probably can't afford me..."
He pulls a piece of paper out of an inside pocket, reads whatever is on it and curses softly under his breath.
"Oh, bollocks. Ok, if you are really that bloody stupid I can do it, but like I said it's gonna cost you."
Mildred & John
The Doctor nods to the receptionist and shortly after a guard with an assault rifle wearing full body armour arrives to escort you.
"Sir, ma'am, my name is Guard Jones. If you'll follow me please."
He escorts you both deep into the building through corridors and past increasingly well locked doors to a very secure looking elevator. He swipes a keycard to get in and then punches the down button. It seems like there are only two floors this elevator goes to.
As you descend deeper into the Asylum there is a strange feeling of tension as if trouble is never very far away. By the time the door opens you both notice Guard Jones is visibly tense.
Three other armed guards are visible in this room along with a fourth behind a security screen. Apparently everything is controlled from there.
"Sir, ma'am, this is Arkham's highest security wing, some of the most dangerous people in the country are housed here so please be careful. Your colleagues are in room 5. You'll find all the other rooms are locked. The doors will open and lock behind you, so you can go in when you are ready."

Mildred just nodded to the guard, restraining herself from using her usual friendly and playful tone, keeping it professional. After all, if a man that geared up was tense, the last thing one wanted would be to add to his stress or distract him. Deeper into the Asylum, things don't get any better, making Mildred feel very glad of being a bloodsucker that played nice and thus never having to be secluded down there. "We will" Mildred talked for the first time down there, talking in plural to see if some sense stuck to John. Even if she was worried about her new teammate's antics, it was Mildred the one that wasn't able to keep herself going straight for room five. It wasn't like she was going to fool around, but she couldn't resist peeking into the other rooms on her way in if able.

Cerberus
Cerberus looked at John for a moment, as the man was refusing him dead on, then changed his mind.
-Mind telling me what changed your mind? Also, cost me what exactly?-
He asked. He wanted to go, nevermind him being called stupid, this might be his one in a lifetime chance, but then again, going in there blindly was pretty reckless. Didn't police school teach him anything about it?
-Then, if I wasn't going in...is there any way I could get in contact with Jade from the outside? -
If that was a safer way and John could pull it off, then it was better then the previous idea. Surely.

Oh wow....
Christopher begins to massage his temples.
Cerberus regardless of the cost which John will ask for which I doubt you could pay are you honestly willing to risk your new career not to mention your sanity by going about this in the most heavy handed way imaginable? The Captain will not like you trying to go into the Joker's mind on a whim. I fully understand the draw of lost family but not only is such an action reckless and ill-advised but it potentially will release that thing again and this course of action puts everyone here in harms way. If you decide to follow this venture do so at a time when it might be safer not when their is a fae feeding off of his particular brand of crazy with two other minds hanging in the balance.
On that note I asked you once for your card already Mr.Constantine would you mind giving it so if I or Mr.Cerberus decide to retain your services in the future it may be possible to reach you?

Cerberus
-I suppose that would be reckless...-
He admitted. But would he even get another shot at this?
-Also...I am fae as well...mind you.-
He added as extra information for his colleague. He sighed. Seems like he would need to find another way to learn about his father. Would he even get there? And maybe it was best for him to never get there at all, but he knew that wouldn't happen. Well, it wouldn't today apparently.

He said to her previous comment and smirked at her next.
John wasn't sure if he could be any help on this mission but he wasn't gunna win any points with the captain arguing that. Not to mention he needed to meet the others so he could get a grasp on what kind of people he was going to work with. Mildred seemed alright though he didn't know how he felt about all the vampire shite at the moment.
He nods at the guard understanding full well the potential dangers. John followed behind Mildred, hoping that not everyone on the team were monsters he only thought were fairy tales. He might have fit in better as a werewolf. that's a funny thought.

Christopher & Cerberus
John looks between the two of you, not interrupting, apparently quite content to let you argue it out between you. As your attention turns back to him he answers Christopher first
"I haven't got a card on me at the minute but your captain keeps a couple so you can get one off her. I think she had you in mind when she asked me to leave 'em. As to what changed me mind, well that's covered by client confidentiality so I'm going to have to pass on that one."
He turns to Jades prone form
"If you want in it will cost two vials of your blood and two hundred bucks, and no I'm not gonna explain why. Getting you in touch with Jade I can do, but you should keep it to a minimum. What I'm doing works a lot like a pressure cooker. The more often you take the lid off the longer it takes to cook."
He stand up.
"So if you want in, it's payment up front and you need to lie down. If you just want a line to Jade hand me your phone for a second, oh and a dollar. It's a principle thing."
A strange statement but one that reminds Christopher of some obscure references he read in various books about magical theory. Some call it the law of equivalent exchange, some say all magic comes with a price. It was a very old fashioned notion and most modern magic users ignore it, but maybe Mr Constantine does not.
John & Mildred
You both pass through the security doors and into the cells area, passing by a couple of the cells you see sleeping figures, one small thin man with dark hair, one wiry man with a clean shaven head, one larger bald man who seems to be snoring loudly, the only person you immediately recognise is the horrifically scarred head of Harvey Dent, otherwise known as 'Two Face'.
Everyone
At this point the door to cell five buzzes open revealing (variously), John Constantine, Cerberus, Christopher, and unconscious patient in a wheel chair and a seeingly unconscious Jade on the inside of the cell and Mildred and a tall blonde man in casual clothes (Jonathan Hawkin) on the outside.

Cerberus
Cerberus looked at John for a moment. The price was somewhat strange. Blood? Why would he need his blood? Mage stuff sounded complicated. Of course, he didn't had two hundred bucks on him, not at this very moment at least. He bit his lower lips for a moment, then sighed. He would have to go for the phone call. It sounded like it was such a bad idea and Cerberus wasn't confident enough to go against all the odds, not yet at least. Visiting his father would have to wait.
So he handed his phone to John with the required dollar.
-Fine...I just want to make sure she is fine and to let her know what is going on...if interfering would cause so much trouble...I guess I'll let reason win this time...-
He said.

"Colorful fellows..." Mildred mused, looking into the inmates of that dreadful place. It was terrible how one's mind could snap and twist, turn into an awful monster inside your own skull, although some of those prisoners did also look as monsters from the outside. Would the same also happen to her immortal mind? Would Mildred eventually become crazy if she lived for too long? Luckily she didn't keep asking herself those maddening questions as the opening of the door five distracted the vampire from herself. "There you are, guess that there isn't a short version of what the hell is going on, right? Who's the fellow in the wheelchair?" Mildred asked, questioning on what the hell they have gotten into. At least she hoped that their unconscious partner would get out of this one mostly sane, as she would hate to lose a comrade on the first night, specially to that place.

It might be best to make a habit of allowing reason to rule your actions now that you will have to justify any mistakes in a mountain of paperwork.
Christopher sits back checking his cell phone again wondering why Mildred has yet to call him like he instructed his assistant to show her how to do. He jumps in surprise when Mildred opens the door with another man. He is too tired for company but puts on his best dumb rich boy act anyway.
Short version; umm.... Rodriguez tried to do her mind thingy to that guy and the bad person in the basement got her. Mr. Constantine is fixing her he is a witch doctor or something like that. Did you like the car? I can get another one for you if you want something else. Why did you not call I missed you?
Already having figured out that his assistant probably was too intimidated to show Mildred how to use a phone. Christopher resigns himself to searching for a new one on his day off. He needs people who will follow his instructions to the letter when he is working.

John takes the phone draws something in what looks like permanent marker on the back then hands the phone back. Before turning to Mildred and Jon.
"So, Detective... Buckley? This is Mr Hernandez, he is where Detective Rodriguez is stuck. He's currently getting.... What's the best way to put this?" He asks turning to the others.
"An insanity enema," he continues not waiting for a reply. "It should kill off what's keeping her stuck."
He turns briefly to Cerberus
"If you want to call her you just pump in magical energy. The matrix I created should do the rest."
"Now if you don't mind I have to concentrate on keeping the both from getting too wide a grin."
He waits for a moment to see if anyone takes the hint before adding.
"That means bugger off."

Hawkins was surprised when he had gone in the room. Somehow he understood they were all just different.. His years of service had taught him to pick up on people... but theses weren't people. At least not in the conventional sense. They lived in a different world... the same as the boogey man and the living dead. He didn't know exactly what they were or why he got such a weird feeling off them but it was there. He was afraid of course.. Just wondering how many freaks of the night there were in the world. He left the room though apparently no one heeded him anyway. "I'll be right back." he informs Mildred. He leaves to find a restroom from there he teleports to the police station to collect his badge and gun (Finally lol) once he gets back.. shouldn't be more than a minute he'll find Mildred and get caught up on the case and his partners....
Black Ops 1 and teleportation 6 to get This done quickly but secretly
