Alan paced back and forth to keep warm. It had been a day since they brought him here. They didn't talk or care about how much he said he had a child back home with a wife. He wasn't even with renegades. He just said he was a renegade, but not the one they believe he is.
He should have kept his mouth shut and he was probably the oldest human here. He had seen some young humans in strange clothes. "Oh joy to the world." He grumbled as he stepped away. There was no way he could understand.
Then two came to his cage and dragged him out. The auction was about to begin? Who would want him? Uh...he was shackled to a center chain.
"We have a 22 year old male renegade. Brown hair, brown eyes, 5 feet 5 inches. Is good for lap dog or companion animal. Teeth is in perfect condition. Starting bid is $200. Any takers?"
And Alan remarked, "I am not a renegade!" But no one listened to him!

Gladiator was secretly funding, and even purchasing humans, some considered illegal. But this was a Shadow Market, these dark dealings plagued the entire world, it wasn't just in one area. It even had vehicles going to city to city from beneath the surface.
He hadn't bought one as of yet, each was nothing Kratos would be pleased, or be useful. Some of the little pups, even younger than what the law declared. Gladiator never got anything that was truly illegal despite breaking numerous of the city's laws.
He leaned closer, examine another sale. This time he was a Renegade, now that's one that would be fun to 'fish' information out of. WHat the heck. He'll go for it. But he's not wanting to use too much as there are other sales. two hundred? He guesses that's a good starter.
His hand rose. "three hundred."

Alan (Scooter) didn't know this ape or why he looked like a pauper. Oh no. Why was he so interested in him? "Oh God no." He said.
"300 heard. Do I hear 350?"
Then Alan shook his head. "I have a family! For real! I don't know what you want from me."

Zaius wasn't one to tend these often but gladly buys a few things once in a while. Some of it was illegal, while others were legal. He mainly went for the legal items, trying to not to get himself in trouble with the law. He does prevent some, but not all. Especially younglings. He was already placed in a chair for hours. At least they were comfortable. He examines Aran from a great distance. Renegade? How interesting. His hand rose after sitting back. "Four hundred." What a small price for him.

Oh no...Not another bid! He'd never get home to kiss his wife and daughter. "No! Can't you all see?! I'm a father! I have a family!" He was pleading the crowd of apes that were seated and bidding on him. "Please!" He looked around, between the chimpanzee and the orange ape. Well, they were both going to bid.
"Hearing 400. Going once...Going twice...."

Gladiator rolls his eyes at the common 'I have a family', 'sickness', 'going to die', the list goes on. He sways his arms above him, adjusting his feet over the chair below. "Six hundred!" he calls out. He was intrigued, but not going to purchase any higher.
"May I suggest, muzzle him!? It might help the number of interests rise!" He only wanted the request for himself. He despised protesting humans.

Alan felt tears prickling his eye lashes, trying to get out of the binds. He wanted nothing more than to return to his wife and young child. "Oh god help me! Get me out of this upside down nightmare." He pleaded. It seemed he was one of the humans who had used religious practices to pray to a deity. "Help me go back home, and I'll work extra hard..." He faintly heard another bid. "I'll do anything for You."
"I hear 600. Going once....going...twice...Anymore bidders?"

Zaius hadn't bought anything that night, either it was worthless or even illegal. He was about to go or the night, today's items were bogus. Not something of his interest. Sometimes he takes humans, reselling them. If they are obedient enough. He hates to train a waste of energy.
HE was going to bid for the final time, despite paying nothing. One paw rose high. "One grand final offer," he states, not going any higher. He wasn't into spending money on Renegades unless he was in the mood to 'rid' them. Using them to be wrongly convicted in a crime.

Alan was still praying, even as the bid went to 1 grand.
"1 grand, going once...going twice...sold to Dr Zaius. You're welcome to collect your human and please pay at the desk."
