Compromising
Jones getting himself into prison wasn't the best option as it seems, but it was almost the best option in saving Gaston. The conundrum controls everything, the powerful security council, the courts and almost all judges secretly worked for the conundrum. And getting to pass a crime will involve a judge, whose judgement had already been compromised.Was it really true that Gaston killed the attorney general? Or he was framed? Whatever the truth may be, Jones was only interested in one thing. Breaking Gaston out.“Fish…" Jones' cellmate said as he sprang his head from the top of the bunk.“I forgot to introduce myself earlier… Kenny's my name.” He said. “Always thought it sound better than Kendrick. You Gene right?”“Yeah… Jones,” He replied, not quite ready to abandon his first name.“Hmm Gene Jones.” Kenny shoved himself from the bunk and landed gracefully on the cell floor.“Your sins caught you? Of course, they did, and everyone's gonna pay for their sins someday.” Kenny said, but

Uncloaking
Kenny was still confused about what Jones said. He chuckled and said.“What a joker are you.”“Do this face look like someone joking.” Jones unsmiling face backed that up.“You don't get it. Every inmate in here would love to be close to him. Come on man. Who got the guts if not him.” Kenny said, while putting on a sassy face.“But I'm not everybody.” Jones stated with a serious face.“That man killed the attorney general. Who does that?” Kenny's sassy face started abrading.“That's what they made you believe.” Jones said, but It sounded incredulous since the evidence that got Gaston to a death sentence was what everyone believed in.“That's what it is, Jones. That man is a murderer.” Kenny said.“But that doesn't change the fact that he's my brother.” “I heard you got busted for armed robbery. Same as me, but you see Gag the stone, Is more dangerous because he gat nothing to lose.” Kenny said as Jones walked towards the cell gate with both of his hands in his pockets.“Gag the stone

What If He's Wrong

She might have given up on Gaston as his lawyer, but Jones didn't as a brother and since Melody was also Jones' lawyer, She was being tugged back to everything.But believing the evidence that Gaston killed the attorney general was more like a burden taken away. Despite her regrets if Gaston is been killed.“You know this is wrong.” Melody, who was seated opposite to Jones in the visiting room said. “Jones… This doesn't seem right. Gaston is an anchor, all he does is drag people down with him.” She continued blabbering as if Jones was even going to change his mind and if he did change his mind, that won't bail him out of prison. There was no fast legal method to get it done than Jones' plan.“What if you were sent to a different prison. Huh? What could you have done?” Melody asked with pity written all over her face.“I will be doing the same thing I'm doing here. E

Bridge In Plan
Jones joined Kenny as they walked towards the Chow Hall after the Chow call was made by one of the guards in charge. The Chow Hall was full of tables and benches, most of it were completely filled. And at the extreme of the hall was a deserted canteen crowded with inmates in a single row. Jones took a seat opposite to Kenny as the prisoners slowly made their way into the canteen, where the food was served. The appetite was gone. One could definitely lose appetite with such foods, but they had no option than to eat whatever they were given. Jones doesn't really fancy that idea of losing appetite, but he did, and it was as a result of Gaston's execution date cemented to his brain like an embedded steel rod. He came in here to save him, but it seemed like his enemies were one step ahead. But who are the enemies? What if Jones was wrong about this all? This was the question Melody asked him, and he couldn't provide an answer. Rather, he knocked off that idea of being wrong and was foc

Desperation
Jones didn't expect his flawless plan to be ruin like that. He did not plan just to fail, and he was never going to rest until he save Gaston. The dysfunctional idea of love for his brother was illogical.“I totally misjudged you, Mr. Jones. I never really thought you were the desperate type.” The Warden said waiting for Officer Alex and the other guard to leave before warning Jones in a stern tone.“We don't tolerate such insolence behavior in here. Do I make myself clear?” He warned.“I really don't know what you're talking about, Warden.” Jones replied, putting on a face of someone who was really ignorant of all that was happening.“Don't play those tricks with me. You are planning an escape and for that, you will spend 80 days in the hole. That's your punishment.” The Warden said as he stood up subsequently and signed off the file. Once such files are signed, they can't be revoke easily. And the Warden was never trying to revoke anything. He was turned down by Jones when he needed

The Evidence
There was a sense of magnificence felt when Melody and her secretary worked into her office. The office room was spacious, with dropped ceilings and ornate moldings. The walls were painted in a deep shade of tan, perfected by the well-lit glasses at the window offering an amazing view outward.Melody sat on her desk. The table was cluttered with files and a large computer monitor sitting prominently at the center of the desk.“Have your seat.” Melody said, and her secretary sat on the chair opposite to Melody.“What's the confidential information you can't share through the phone?” Melody asked as she pulled the large file on her left side. The file was the largest among all the files in the desk. It was large enough to cover Melody's brass nameplate.“It was concerning Gaston.” The secretary said. Melody stopped multitasking and listened carefully to whatever her secretary had to say.“A guy with blonde hair, dressed in a professional suit. He was like a lawyer, I can't really say he

Jones Was Right
Melody felt bad for not believing Jones at first. She thought Jones was being desperate, but after seeing everything from the perspective she had always ignored. She came to the realization that Gaston might be innocent after all, but she needs tangible evidence if she really want the case to be reopened.“I have connected every dot and this is all I got. You don't have this evidence, I'm very certain of that.” The blonde man said, pointing towards the large board filled with pictures and some other evidence. All the pictures, the names, and pieces of files were all connected to one point.Melody stepped forward and observed everything carefully. “You didn't tell us your name.” Kate said, fixing her brown eyes onto the blonde man.“Call me Ramon and you are…?” Ramon said with an attractive voice.“I'm Kate.” She said, smiling.“Nice meeting you, Kate,” Ramon said as he shook hands with her and added, “A nice name for a beautiful girl. That's amazing" “I will take that as a complimen

The Attack
The sound of gunshots echoed through the porch as the two burly men faced off against the shooters. The tension in the air was palpable as they both stood with their guns drawn, ready to fire at any moment.A bullet plunged through from one of the windows and struck the man who approached their friend who was shot. The bullet stopped on his ballistic vest.“Everybody go down!!” He yelled out instantly and everyone fell to their knees.Ramon limped towards the couch Kate was sitting on before and used that as a cover as he shoved a handgun from his suit trousers. “You both stay down. Don't move an inch.” He said, and another gun blast pierced through the windows causing all the glasses to shatter. Ramon looked at Melody in sympathy as the shooters kept firing. It was a non-stopping fire, making them to be less defensive.He crawled to her and held her down as the ceaseless firing remained unbreakable. One of the burly men beckoned on the other man to stand down. One of them went behin

Escaping Plan
The view Jones got when he looked through the window of the cell provided an ever-present reminder of how much he needed to get outside those walls.The plan was simple as removing the bars from the windows, climbing through and letting themselves down to the ground level. This was an alternative plan he was able to deploy since Gaston was no longer in Atlad prison. So, using his initial plan was close to been impossible and time-wasting.“That's going to take months to remove. This isn't goin' work.” Kenny said as he slammed the hammer to the wall before them forcefully. They were able to get access to the storeroom, where most of the works are done.J-kill hired Jones so that they'd execute their plan flawlessly. It was all Jones proposal to join the Union Work in order to get the required tools. But Kenny was hired by the Warden to keep an eye on Jones. Everything was going accordingly as planned.“What?

Two days after they started executing the escape plan, they were able to create a hole behind the toilet since the wall was just too easy to get through.They have to wait on Jones' signal before escaping. So Jones gave them the precise time to go through the hole after their usual work at the storeroom.Meanwhile, Jones spent most of his time in preparing something they had no idea about and when they asked what it was, he just told them it was a chemical that could aid their escape.Jones showed each of them what to do and how to go about it. They made dummies in their beds, but it was brought out after the first counting by the guards.Matt and Terry's cell were downstairs, so they will have to execute their escape plan after the second counting, it was all Jones plan to avoid being caught.Jones maneuvered his body through the hole created behind the cell toilet.
