Jet nodded and waved him forward so that he could enter after her and the doorkeeper could learn his face to remember the next time he came to them.

Cecil nodded at the doorkeeper and saw the inside of the building. "Huh. So this is what a base looks like..."

Jet nodded. "But you haven't seen the rest yet." The other Jacks filed into the hallway and went in separate directions to drop off weapory and care for wounds. She nodded to the doorkeeper, who closed the door, barred it, and locked it several times with primative locks made from salvaged electrical equipment. He turned around on his chair and flipped a swtich, one of many on a small panel, and a loud buzzer sounded. "Brace yourself..." Jet warned. The floor beneath them jumped, rattling and shaking for a moment, then evened out when they started moving down at a steady pace.

"An elevator. Impressive..." Cecil commented. He looked around at how organized Jet's gang was. "Completely different from the primitive gangs, whose hideouts were a cave...."

Jet nodded. "This is one of the most advanced gangs left. And we have one of the last elevators..." she said, snickering.

Cecil laughed as well. "However, no one is smarter and advanced than Karl..."

Jet looked sideways at Cecil. "Karl?"

"Karl was that scientist guy next to me before we left. He's a genious... I'll show you my new weapon when he makes it." Replied Cecil, looking at Jet as well.

Jet nodded slowly. "Alright then..." The elevator stopped at the main floor underground and Jet stepped off. "Welcome to your new home." she said, looking around her base.
The place, though underground, was well restored. There were a few leaks in pipes here and there, but over all, it seemed to be quite livable. There was enough lighting from restored flourescent lights that one could clearly see the dark painted interior of the Jacks of Spades' base.
There were several tables around, at most of which sat members of the gang, talking, eating, or making a fuss over trivial matters and battling it out in arm wrestling competitions. If Jet really did run a family in this gang, then this would most likely be her living room.

Lexi sighed and stood up. "I'm sorry to leave so suddenlt Karl, but I've got a shit hole to return to..." She mumbled and walked off.

Cecil looked around. "So, this is your family..." He said almost sorrowfullly. He didn't have a family. He was the loner...

Karl stood up as she was walking out.
"Uh, I've got a spare room-thing at my place. I sleep in the garage, so you can stay in the house if you want. I mean, my place isnt anything special, but at least its got walls and a roof!"
he said to Lexi, offering her a warmer place to stay.
"Oh, and I have heating!"

Jet nodded, also looking around. "You could call it that." she said calmly, not realizing she was actually speaking civily to him.

Lexi looked over her shoulder at Karl. "I wouldn't want to intrude..." She said quietly.

Karl chuckled.
"Oh, god no, you wouldnt be intruding!"
he smiled and sighed.
"Well, its your choice. I live on the third street that way-"
said Karl, pointing west,
"- its called manway street. I'm the red house. Well, see ya!"
Karl said and began to walk off home.
