Background

Some people are forced into a life of crime out of desperation. Others chose to follow the path in for some idealistic or monetary gain. What is my reason? Because I can.

For one Kane Montmorency one might think otherwise about his statement. Kane was born to a loving, upper class mother and father. His father was a devoted husband and father whom held a respectable job at a law firm and his mother was a middle school teacher. Though they lived the life high society and their fellow wealthy friends expected, their lives were almost as normal as any other family. For Kane, the only thing abnormal about his life was his acute mind, otherwise But all happiness comes to an end at some point. And then, it wasn’t. Kane’s father was a prosecutor in the justice department and was pursuing a conviction for a rather wealthy man, Ulrich Falkner, who was suspected of embezzlement and connection to organized crime. Kane’s father was determined to bring this man down that he didn’t recognize the danger Ulrich posed and when the family least expected it, disaster struck.

When he was nine years old Kane returned home from school one day to find cops and detectives swarming his home. Kane ran past them into the home against their objections and briefly saw his dead father in their living room before cops dragged him kicking and screaming outside. From what the officers said when they thought Kane couldn’t hear them it appeared to have been a hit on his family and the only reason Kane was alive was the fact he was at school. In the end the police caught his parents killer but though they knew he was connected to Ulrich Falkner they didn’t have any evidence to pursue a prosecution. Kane meanwhile was placed into an orphanage due to the fact there were no family members able to take him in and none of his parents β€˜friends’ lifted a finger to help the poor child.

During his stay at the orphanage Kane had time to think about the sudden change in his life. He had lost his parents, had no family or friends and he couldn’t touch any of his parents money until he was much older. Essentially he had almost vanished from the world to live in conditions less than he was used to, but Kane adapted. Kane mostly spent his time thinking about the man who was suspected of having his parents killed and thinking of ways to get even. It wasn’t until he started reading crime mysteries, most notably Sherlock Holmes, that he decided how to do it. Over the course of four years Kane changed from the happy go lucky boy to calm, calculating and manipulative young man with a keen mind. Kane would use his talents on a minor scale, having other kids at the orphanage steal things for him while keeping himself distanced enough to avoid being implicated as the mastermind of the crime. Kane worked to perfect his art as a criminal mastermind in preparation for his future revenge.

It came when Kane learned Falkner had a teenage son named Malcolm, a rich arrogant snob Kane could use to his advantage. Using his skills he manipulated events so the two would β€œcoincidentally” meet the boy after school at one of his hang outs. It took a bit of time and acting on his part but Kane managed to befriend the son of his parent’s killer. Kane built this friendship and trust to get into the inner world of Ulrich Falkner and find a way to destroy this man's world. Of course Malcolm was a typical rich kid, showing off his status, flanuting his money and toys and treating those close to him like his frat brothers, one of those brothers being Kane. It took a couple more years of work and planning before Kane’s plan went into action.

One day when Malcolm was drunk, Kane stole one of Malcolm’s cards his father gave him and contacted a well known hacker to have him to access all of the Falkner accounts. Kane had the hacker steal millions from the man and transfer it to hidden tax haven accounts overseas. Kane also had the hacker find information on Ulrich’s criminal enterprises and send them to the authorities through the man’s own email account. And so Kane’s plan had come to pass, the man whom had killed his parents was now broke, exposed and his own life was at risk as many of his cohorts would assume he had leaked information to the police. And all of this was accomplished without being traced back to Kane. It may have horrified his parents if they lived to see what he became but Kane was now a criminal and he wasn’t finished. Kane had not forgotten his parents β€œfriends” who had systematically ignored his plight and sought revenge against them now that his main target was out of play.

In the end however Kane caught when one of his people was caught and in an attempt to get a reduced sentence turned Kane in for the crimes he committed against Falkner. At the hearing the prosecutor charged Kane with Grand larceny and used the death of Kane’s parents to further solidify the connection. The prosecutor tried to get Kane to return the money but Kane was able to sell them the story the money had been used to implicate his other victims and pay criminals to do jobs. In the end Kane was found guilty of Grand Larcany and now resides at juvenile hall until he is eighteen. But though caught, Kane is far from done with his life of crime. He just sitting calmly in his cell trying to figure out his next big crime while contemplating only one dilemma he has.

Should he wait to be released or plot to escape?




Personality

Surprisingly Kane is a well mannered young man with a kind and warm deposition. He generally tries to get along with those he comes into contact with but don’t think Kane isn’t capable of switching persona’s. Generally he is a calm and collective person but when the mastermind is at work he is cool and effective, acting with the air of an in control person with nary a flinch at a loss of control. Having connections with the criminal world Kane can share empathy with other criminals depending on the criminal themselves and may help them if he can. This also extends to his own personal code which includes his loyalty. Kane is loyal to a fault so long as that loyalty is returned. Kane would never turn a fellow criminal unless his own life or those he cared about were at risk.

Mentally Kane is a very intelligent and keen person which has allowed him to advance in studies much further than normal teens could. He prides himself on his intelligence and ability to use it effectively. As such he will typically think his way out of a problem before resorting to more physical options. This means he will manipulate others into doing his work for him and not link him to the incident. And he is good at doing it. He may not be a smooth talker but he is quite good at using logic, reasoning and negotiation to get what he wants. Though when it comes to matching wits with other intellects Kane it can go either way with him from a friendly debate to an all out belittling insulting match. The former being in good faith, the second out of spite.

Physically Kane is well fit, he’s no jock but he’s no slacker either. He keeps himself in good shape, mostly favoring running to other activities. However his upbringing in the orphanage made him face fact, though he wanted to be in control from a distance sometimes you have to get your own hands dirty. Kane has studied Kenpo as a self defense method and has expressed interest in other arts.

So begins...

After sitting in the cafeteria for what felt like a lifetime, it was finally ready for school. Or at least that's what the staff liked to call it. Meghan preferred to think of it as a bunch of teenage kids sitting in a room with classwork they chose if they wanted to do. It wasn't like they were graded for their work. It was just something the government needed them to do so they could stay in the education system.

With a sigh the brunette stood to her feet and followed the guards to the classroom. The guards always needed to escort them because there were a few people who would skip class. Meghan didn't care either way, she just wanted to get out of there and get back to her normal life.

Once she stepped into the room, she took her assigned seat towards the center of the room and glanced up at the board where their classwork was written in messy handwriting. Meghan looked down at her desk seeing a stack of papers that needed to be done. Of course she was going to do it because there would be nothing better for her to do in this room for the next four hours. Meghan lifted her pencil from the desk and started on her math. Math was always her favorite subject because it was the same in every language.

Maxwell smirked a bit when he noticed Taven begin to stand to her feet before raising her hands in surrender. He glanced over at the guards she was looking at and noticed they had themselves ready to tase her. She must have a temper, he thought. Finally once she stood to her feet she made her way towards the table that was beginning to slowly get crowded.

Maxwell gave the girl a friendly smile after she sat down just before she greeted Liem then turned her attention to himself. "Maxwell or Max?" she questioned. The male just gave a slight shrug of his shoulders and stated, "Doesn't matter. Which ever you'd prefer to call me," he answered. Truly Maxwell didn't care either way. It was his name and if people preferred to call him by a nickname, that would be up to them. Didn't phase him in the least.

"Time for class!" a guard exclaimed in a monotone manner. It seemed as if he was tired of being a building filled with juveniles. At least that's what Maxwell got from the way he was acting. He stood to his feet and followed the rest of the group out the cafeteria and into the classroom. He was greeted by the teacher, a middle aged woman with a few gray strays in her dark hair. "You must be Maxwell Harbours. I would say it's nice to meet you, but it wouldn't be a good thing to say in this building," she said with a sigh with a shake of her head in judgement. Maxwell immediately rolled his eyes at the woman before she introduced herself. "I'm Mrs. Spann. Please take your seat," she stated as she pointed to the empty seat next to Andy.

Maxwell made his way over and took a seat before he whispered in Andy's direction, "Not the nicest of women, is she?" he questioned with a slight chuckle.

"Doesn't matter. Which ever you'd prefer to call me," she heard him say. She bit her lip and shook her head, that wasn't going to work. "Please don't give me the option," she spoke softly, looking at him with a nervous smile. "because next thing you know I'm straying from the both of them and calling you Maxie." Taven spoke quickly, rubbing the back of her neck with a shrug. "Unless you're totally okay with that, then don't choose either and we'll see whatever I start calling you." She took a deep breathe after she was done rambling. She always did whenever she talked to people, she was a quick talker and even quicker with other things that didn't involve speaking. Taven gave one last smile before standing up, walking away from the two boys as she headed back towards her table to grab her tray and dispose of it before she followed behind them to the classroom.

"Goodmorning Mrs. Spann! Chirped Taven cheerfully. She gave the older lady a bright smile before taking her seat at a desk that had a small laptop perched on top of it. She looked around the room, seeing where everyone else was taking their seats before opening up the laptop. The background had a small kitten hanging from a tree with the words 'hang in there' written across the bottom. Of course, it wasn't her choice of a picture, it was whoever dealt out the school supplies for the facilities choice. She guessed they were trying to be inspirational to the kids inside. Taven gave them props for trying. Her fingers clicked against the keys as she typed in her log in and waited for the loading screen to bring up all her school information. Her hand slowly raised as she saw what information popped up before she shook her head, changing her mind and bringing her hand back down. Without asking she rose from her seat, walking to the back of the class to an open bin that had headphones in it. She grabbed a random pair and went to sit back down, plugging them into her computer almost immediately before placing one in her ear, the other hung down in case anybody tried to talk to her so she could hear them. Her fingers tapped against the wooden surface of the desk as she clicked on one of the lessons, listening to the virtual instructor as he began to speak about math. Quadratics to be exact, her least favorite subject in school.

The wolf changes his coat, but not his disposition.


Kane smiled as he watched the other inmates go about their breakfast. It was quite interesting to see how the congregation of criminals, intentional or accidental, interacted with each other. Yes most kept to themselves and didn’t interact but if one looked there was an underlying level of communication in terms of body language one could see if they looked close enough. Kane amused himself with his observations as he ate his breakfast, a very paltry meal but not something he wasn’t used to. In fact, he was used to quite worst from the orphanage so the poor quality didn’t bother Kane much. In fact very little about the prison bothered him, not even the other inmates. Sure some weren’t the typical criminals Kane was used to dealing with like, robbers, hackers, forgers or even thief's. But when it came to the likes other more violent criminals Kane had no reason to fear them. Sure he was cautious as any reasonable person should be but when you take on the likes of a man who has, or in this case had, the money to have you disappear then confidence tends to suppress fear.

As Kane observed the inmates he took note of a few who caught his eye. Andy O’Niel is one of them, the hacker whom most of the prison talked about at first. From the gossip Kane had a feeling he knew the boy but he wasn’t about to venture any guesses without more information. Speaking of the devil, it appeared Andy was getting blasted for his cocky attempt at appearing tough which caused Kane to chuckle. Next was William, or Liam as his nickname was. Despite Kane keeping to himself since he arrived a few weeks ago he had a fairly nice relationship with the boy. This was mostly due to the fact Kane didn’t have any problem with his choice in one’s romantic partners. Kane was straight laced as it came and he made sure Liam knew both of his standings, but if Liam swung that way it didn’t bother him, nor did it bother him if the boy eyed him. Then there Kimi, the Grudge Girl as everyone called her. To be honest she didn’t scare him, not because of his bravado, but more out of the fact he actually sympathize with her. Kane tended to gravitate to the shy and quiet types and felt a strong need to help those whom were misunderstood or bullied. It also helped he found Kimi very attractive.

Before he could muse anymore the guards came in with an inmate Kane had never seen before. Sure enough they introduced him as Maxwell Harbours, goody, a new inmate to figure out. Kane simply watched as he was introduced to Liam, which Kane smirked at before another girl, Taven he believed was her name, approached him. Kane considered breaking his routine of staying in the figurative shadows before the call for class was raised. Kane took one more sip of his juice before picking up his toast and walking out with the inmates to class. Much like every day there was a pile of work to be completed in a less than organized classroom. Since the inmate typically chose their seats Kane normally took the far corner of the room to minimize interaction but now that he had been here long enough to get a feel for the prison he felt ready to break from the route he made. In fact, Kane was about to be a bit bold and in the opinion of others, crazy as a bat.

Kane located the girl in question and took a the desk right next to where Kimi sat. Call him crazy, but Kane was interested in this girl in more ways than one and if he was going to start making connections might as well start with one of the crazy and feared ones.[code][/code]

Andy regarded her with a smile. "I helped some people with their computers," he said quietly so that the guards wouldn't hear him, "I'm kind of an expert in that. And those people I helped made quite a bit of money when I helped them, so they paid me for it."

So he was a computer hacker. That made sense now that she thought about it. He didn't seem like the type to go robbing banks or pushing old ladies down staircases. Maddie studied him quietly, the toe of her white Toms tapping gently under the table. He surprised her by asking, "And you? How did you earn this stay at such a wonderful location?"

No one had ever asked her what crime she'd committed to stay here. Which parts were safe to say and which weren't? She didn't want him thinking she was some terrible human being. Madeleine looked down at her hands as she bit her lip and thought about what she would say. "It was stupid," she mumbled, not looking at him. "My friends... they gave me a gun and dared me to bring it into a convenience store. I got out before the police came, but they found the gun and traced it back to me." She smiled softly. "I told you it was stupid."

Before she could say anything else, a guard called in a very cheerless tone, "Time for class!". Maddie stood to her feet abruptly and, before Andy could tell her just in fact how stupid her story sounded, quickly followed the guard to class.

The teacher, Mrs. Spann, was a tall woman somewhere in her forties with dark hair just beginning to streak with silver strands. Mrs. Spann gave Madeleine a small smile as Maddie took her usual seat at the front of the class. Even at her high school she would always pick a seat in the front, since teachers always ended up picking on the kids in the very back who seemed like they weren't paying attention. She watched the others come inside the room, tapping her toes steadily. Maddie smiled a little to herself as she watched the teacher struggle with a whiteboard marker. This was going to be a very long four hours.

Kimi followed into class and took her seat in back, as usual. The many doodles on the desk, kanji written lovingly about her rather... interesting curiosities. Mrs. Spann gave her a quite, polite smile before moving on to the others a bit more fondly. Kimi shrugged it off, eyes flittering about the room. It seemed Taven, Maddie, and Max were becoming rather friendly. For a time. She noted the mumbling, though she couldn't hear what. She had been handed a computer. A shame, she missed using pencil and paper.

" Time for class! ", Mrs. Spann spoke. Kimi took the time to notice her silver stands. When she began finally writing on the board, she noticed that it would be Quadratics that she'd be learning along with the others. She sighed, put off. Kimi was never one for math. It was all too simple, nothing worth looking into or exploring. Everything was simply too... easy.

Her eyes went to the door, noting that Kane arrived late. She always found Kane a little interesting, but not quite her... Person of Interest. Yet, he had potential to be. Thinking of him made her heart flutter slightly. She hummed happily. Lost in her own thoughts, she hadn't noticed Kane taking a seat next to her until the scraping of the chair startled her out of her daydreams. Kimi flinched lightly, eyes sharp and highly aware of him. Within a few moments, she noted a few places where it might be good to jab. Granted, she was in class. Not exactly the best time or place to lash out. Kane had made no move to harm her, so she decided against her urges. Though she was cautious, why sit next to her when she could sit next to Taven? Or even Meghan? They were beautiful, perhaps something more his taste. Adam and Williem might be better company, as the two seemed to always have something to say. Maxwell or Michael would be good for a study. Yet here he was, sitting next to Kimi Yubari. The Grudge Girl.

She paused a moment before speaking a simple, " Hello. "

Kane kept a calm face but inside he was smirking at the small reaction he obtained out of Kimi. He had expected indifference to his change of procedure but this was much better and meant he could advance himself further along than he originally thought. But his mind advised caution, she may be attractive but he wanted to take it easy so as not to provoke her. Kane quickly scanned through his work, Quadratics, pft, childsplay. When it came to most educational subjects Kane’s keen mind could rip through this with relative ease. Education was never a problem for Kane which allowed him to use his mind for more important tasks. As he was sorting his papers he heard a soft voice speak to him to his left, β€œHello.” Inside Kane smiled, she had opened the door, now all he had to do was get his foot in. He turned towards her and gave a warm smile, β€œHello there.” Kane said calmly but friendly so as not to provoke her, β€œHow may I be of assistance m’lady?” He asked in a sincere tone.

Kimi ignored Kane, going to her work immediately. She had acknowledged him once, and keeping on record, she wouldn't really do it again. She couldn't help but pull on a pair of headphones a bit forcefully, opening the lesson and starting. Now Kimi wasn't a genius, but she certainly could do well. Numbers were more of just an annoyance. They were too straight forward. Nothing was fun about them. Numbers brought no adventure or excitement. Not like people did.

People were always so interesting. Kimi always did like people, the ways they worked. The ways their organs worked. She learned a lot from people, they always had something new to bring to the table. Perhaps Kane could too. She huffed a little, pausing her work. Yet, she wasn't him . If he wasn't Michael, Kimi really didn't want much to do with him. After all, she only ever really needed one person in her life. Though she did have her mother still, but she was an acceptation. She mulled over it tapping her fingers carefully on the keys.

And just as easily as Kane had her attention he lost it. Kane wasn’t insulted by her ignoring him, he had expected this response among other possible responses. The fact she was isolating herself from him made Kane all the more interested in getting past her shell. Giving her one more smile and a nod he returned to his work, acknowledging her dismissal and returning to the math before him.

Kane found such applications of his mind to be wasted as his comprehension of the subject was long since obtained. He would much rather find challenge in other fields and subjects which was one of the reasons he found himself in prison. Ironically it didn’t matter what the subject was, he would inevitably try to use it in some criminalistic activity. For example, Kane had found himself studying art after watching one of his favorite crime shows in an effort to replicate the acts. Only one subject was exempt from this and that was philosophy, a subject he very much enjoyed and one he had no desire to corrupt with his criminalistic endeavors.

Philosophy was part of what kept him from taking a step off of the deep end. From becoming a more darker and violent version of what people currently saw. It helped him in deciding the course to take in his life and now it helped him here as he sat among criminals. But would it help him when he was playing with fire once again?
