Chapter 3 : The Bus

The bus arrived. It was exactly like Yoriko had imagined. Yellow, and cute, and empty, like those in the movies. Empty where EVERYONE had seats. On the bus, bold black words proclaimed the bus : UCCLBS, which she supposed stood for UnderCity City of LesBif Bus Service.
But what she did not expect was the bus would appear as fast as she thought, neither did she expect the bus to appear with for smalled vehicles escorting it. The four smaller vehicles looked like police vehicles, with the words : UCCLTPD emblazoned on it.
Perhaps it was the bad security in the UnderCity, that is the reason why a bus needed four police escorts (well, UCCLTPD obviously would mean UnderCity City of LesBif - The Police Department, right?)
Yoriko boarded the bus. It was empty (as were the grass plains and everything else). The boing-boing oddball bounced up the bus as well.
Once aboard, the doors automatically shut and the bus sped on. Yoriko was flung right to the back of the bus, where there stood a cage-like structure. Yoriko fell into it and knocked her head on one of the ledges and blacked out.

Yoriko awoke to unfamiliar surroundings. Right in front of her was a mesh of wires. Towards her sides too. Behind her, she felt a mesh too. She was enclosed in a cage of sorts, standing.
She tried pushing against the cage door (which was in front, she supposed, since there were no visible hinges anywhere), but it did not budge. She was trapped (again!?)
Two men appeared (seemingly from nowhere, as she cannot see any door). They wore black and had face masks on. (as usual, what do you expect from kidnappers)
With much ease, the glided (well, it seemed like they glided) towards her cage and lifted it up without even breaking a sweat. They carried it down a certain stretch of white marble tile (that's the floor), and set it down.
Then a courtroom materialized.. (at least, it looked like a courtroom)
