The Casa/Coup plan

You examine the girls metal restraints and discover that they can be opened without a key. One limb at a time you loose the child from her restraints, discovering alarmingly damaged skin beneath the cruel cuffs. She winces as each ring opens, and clearly finds the moving air painful.

You become aware that every other girl in the basement is looking at you with the focus of death.

You look at the pitiful girl, but now her face is beginning to change. "What is your name?" You ask.

She looks a little surprised. "Mojada." She says. "You will be the next warden of The Casa, what is your name?"

You pause, startled, but instead of answering say, "How can I become warden of The Casa?"

For the first time you see Mojada smile.

"There has only ever been one Warden. He created The Casa and only he can keep it operating. If he were gone The Casa would be at the mercy of the wind, unless a strong hand were to hold it together. You could never kill the Warden and learn his secrets and gain the trust of the girls. But with our help..."

Mojada gestures to the other sex prisoners in the basement. In their eyes you see hatred that would stop at nothing to kill the warden and free themselves. And in the faces of some of them, the younger, more foolish ones, you see hope.

Mojada walks up to the girl on the rack and pulls the pin which is straining the girls limbs. When the machine relaxes its grip the girl first screams and then falls into quieter sobs. "What Kent said isn't true." Mojada continues, proceeding to the wall where she begins to unshackle two girls hanging from the wall by their ankles and wrists. "The Casa will like us. In a new warden they will find hope." She pauses, then addressing the prisoners states, "That falls to us."

Mojada looks back to you. "Mr. Kent is your job. You need to learn where he keeps his wealth, who his contacts are, and all the other important stuff there is. Then you need to let me kill him."
