As Stan explained everything he knew about the situation, the commissioner's tone gradually became more serious. What had initially sounded like a routine conversation about the prison break had clearly taken on a different level of importance once the details surrounding Blackridge Correctional Facility became clear.
"That's... extremely troublesome."
Stan's eyebrows furrowed slightly at the commissioner's choice of words. "Why?"
"Because Blackridge isn't an ordinary facility."
The moment he heard that, Stan's expression sharpened. He already knew Blackridge was supposed to be a high-security prison, but the commissioner's tone suggested there was more to the facility than its reputation alone.
The commissioner continued after a brief pause. "Some of the Red Serpent's core members are being held there."
Stan's eyes widened slightly. "Seriously?"
"Yes."
"Even their leader?"
"Especially their leader."
