~Dining hall, Chicago Prison~

Inmates chowed down their meal slowly, some were forcing the damn thing down their throat, trying hard to swallow.

They had no option, it's either you have the meal or stay hungry.

The hall remained quiet until the door burst open and what they didn't expect to see so soon happened.

Chun Li stepped into the hall looking more mighty than ever. He tucked his hand into his pant's pocket, pausing to take a look around the whole hall and strode inside the dinning hall to his table.

Sound of clattering cutleries filled the room as some people had lost their appetite. They thought he would spend at least one week in the isolation ward, but it hasn't even been 48 hours since he got locked away. They grumbled and sighed exhaustedly.

Now they are back to square one.

A devilish smirk plastered on Chun Li's face as he made his way to his table, knowing the discomfort he brought to inmates and feeling the power of his presence. His followers were smiling, clamping th

    Whenever Chun Li and his follower passed a guard, they hissed in pain, and the guard with them would wave his hand for the other guards to allow them a pass.They deliberately clutched their tummy and left smears of blood on their blue vest, so it would look like severe injuries.They managed to pass the first hall that leads to the infirmary and now they were onto the second hall.Not many guards were stationed indoors, they had only passed two of them so far and now getting close to the infirmary, they could see the yellow light in there, showing that someone was inside.A devilish smile appeared on Chun Li's face.“This is not good, no no!” The guard tried to scream but Chun Li pointed a gun to his abdomen, and his other hand restricted him by the neck.He carefully looked up and noted that the CCTV wasn't facing them.“Shut up, fool, unless you don't like your daughters,” Chun Li clicked said in a low tone.A bead of sweat appeared on the man's face and his eyes widened in horror.

    Lewis stood rooted in the position as the red rights kept pouring on him like a highway criminal.“Fuck!” he muttered.The minute he tried to move, the blaring went higher and he just had to curse his luck.“Hands up! Don't move!” a police officer pulled up with an assault rifle.More poured into the corridor, surrounding Lewis.“Hands up!” they commanded and he followed suit.“If you move I will unload this bullet in your body!”Then that was when Lewis saw the worst horror.At the edge of the corridor, a line of red liquid crawled to his side, blood. The red light was harmonizing with the blood so it took a minute for one of the guards to flash his torchlight on the sourceA man laid dead in his own pool of blood. Lewis squinted his eyes and recognised the body which belonged to Chun Li's follower.A bile rushed up to his throat. The guy was okay a few minutes ago, what could have happened to him?Lewis had an unsettling feeling about this, he was caught in an unusual place at a de

    ~Hospital, outside Chicago Prison~When CEO Connor heard of what happened to Viviette he was devastated that he had to rush to the hospital at the crack of dawn.There was no way for the sunlight to peak out today, because outside, the air cuts through the skin like a knife. Dewdrops fell on the trees and the leaves.CEO Connor stopped at the reception and tapped on it to gain their attention. He was carrying a bouquet of flowers to show a sign of care as Officer Viviette was one of their youngest workers.“I am looking for Viviette Faust's ward, please.”“Viviette Faust? Give me a minute,” the receptionist ran her hands along the keyboard.“Viviette Faust has been admitted to ward 39, she is receiving her medications now and I will place a call if you are here for a visit.”“Correct, good then. Tell her it's CEO Connor,” he said.“CEO Connor,” the receptionist repeated, “got it.”After the call was made, and about five minutes later, CEO Connor was granted a visit to ward 39.A low v

    ~Isolation unit, Chicago prison~A boy passed by, carrying a pot of burning incense. His eyes were shut and he still managed to make out his way in the long dark corridor. Another person followed, an elderly man in religious wear. He enclosed his palms in chest as he muttered some things, while walking to the end of the corridor.They were heading to the room at the end.Lewis peeked from the bars, his breathing escalated each time the bizarre people walked by, deep down, he felt like he had a sense of what was going to happen.Then a man who was dressed in a well ironed suit walked into the corridor. He was dressed like a gentleman from the 80's and his hair had been shaved to baldness, no strand of hair could be seen.His shiny bald hair was the only light in the corridor.Lewis gulped nervously as the man walked towards the room. His face was stoic, no expression, no emotion, no fear.Lewis thought, this man was about to be executed, how come he isn't showing any signs of anxiety?

    Inside the conference room, about ten exclusive state agents and the forces of the institution occupied the leather seats, surrounding the sleek boardroom table. CEO Connor walked straight to his seat at the head of the table, facing the huge TV mounted on the wall.“I apologize for the delay, it was a bottleneck of traffic outside,” he apologized before sitting down.They simply nodded while some shuffled through the file in front of them.CEO Connor cleared his throat, gaining their attention.“First off, I want to sincerely apologize for the misconduct and the recent attack on one of our officers. I stand by my words, we have filed a lawsuit for the said inmate who caused the mi-” he was interrupted by one of the agents.“I want to know. In the statement submitted by the workers of this correctional institution, it is written down here that there weren't enough cameras installed for the safety of the workers, what do you say about that?” the man sitting in the middle of the left si

    ~Lewis' hands were cuffed as Warden Lee took him to the interrogation room. He took a seat opposite the interrogation room. Every hope of escaping this prison disappeared into the thin air after the day he was apprehended in the corridor.It has been five days since the horror, and Lewis has not admitted to the crime. He rather remains quiet whenever he is asked about it.Like today, he just sits across from the officer who rested his right elbow on the table, relaxed and confident that he will get a nod to the crime from him.The officer cleared his throat loudly in the quiet room with dark walls. He pinned his eyes on Lewis as if he would steal a thing from him once he moved his eyes, then he picked the water from his office bag and uncapped. Took about three gulps just to refresh himself.He then adjusted his medicated glasses before starting.“You were caught killing this man,” he pushed the picture of the dead inmate to Lewis. “His parole was coming up next month.”“You stabbed

    ~Court room~Everyone took their seats in the courtroom, while waiting for the judge to arrive.And after thirty more minutes of waiting, a sheen of sweat appeared on their foreheads as they waited. Finally, the judge arrived.“Court stand!” Everyone stood up, hearts were beating, some faces carried no trace of smile, happiness.Only one attorney came up, and they selected their juries.“This is a case of murder,” the chief judge began.“On the tenth of November, Mr. James was stabbed to death by Lewis Baker. It's reported that Mr. Lewis was seen lurking in the middle of the night, he went to the infirmary to receive treatment, allegedly drugged Miss Viviette who works as a nurse and also a correctional officer was found unconscious at exactly 10:40pm when Mr. Lewis was apprehended with a dead body,” he exhaled.The judge who appeared to be sixty in age sighed and looked at the room through his two lenses.Then his eyes fell on the accused “Let's hear from you, Mr. Lewis.”A brief mo

    “Officer Lee, can I ask you for a favor?” Officer Viviette walked inside the surveillance room where warden Lee was picking a popcorn while rotating in his reclining chair.His eyes were solemnly fixed on the large monitor and when he realized who had joined, he didn't bother to spare her a glance.“Officer Lee?” Officer Viviette called again when the man didn't respond.Warden Lee snapped his neck sideways, “What?! Why are you fucking calling my name like a dickwad?” Officer Viviette was shocked by his aggravated tone.“Wow, why are you raising your voice at me” she had to ask.The two had different jobs in the prison, and they have never posted them in the same place together and if they walked past each other, there wasn't anything to talk about as they weren't close work colleagues.Warden Lee sized her up with contempt lingering in his eyes.“What the fuck do you want?” Officer Viviette who was still hanging half outside the door and half inside sighed in tiredness. She inser

    Inside the surveillance room, warden Lee took his seat in front of the monitors while Nash stood motionless beside him.“What did you say you could do for me again?” Warden Lee asked the inmate that approached him out of nowhere.“I could make you happy,” Nash answered.Warden Lee smirked, “What do you know is happy?” he asked.“I-” he was cut off.“First, how can you make me happy?”Nash was sweating on his hands, “I will, I will give you a blow job.”Warden Lee was left speechless, however he couldn't show any emotions as he was wondering what gave this jughead the nerve to approach him at first.“Okay, I see you. For what?”Nash shook his head, “Nothing. I just admire you from afar,” this time he was able to look the warden into his eyes just to add spice to his lies.And really warden Lee couldn't wait to see what this small rat has in store.“Alright, get on your knees and move closer,” warden Lee commanded.Nash breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't really hard to convince the wa

    Inside Nash's cell, he mounted his bed and scooched closer to the wall. His hands were shaking since he collected the paper from the pretty officer.Not cold or the weather, he was really anxious about...nothing.He threw a glance at Abuelo, he was reading a book on his bed.Then he inhaled and opened the paper. What? His face squeezed together as he read the note.What the fuck is he asking him to do? Impossible, fuck.Yes, in the past he took on this job only because he wanted to support his sister in Worcester but now that his sister went missing a long time ago, this job makes his skin crawl.Fuck! He squeezed the paper and leaned his head on the wall, this would be hard to do.“Fucking mama,” he muttered to himself.Why would he even tell him to do this?“Uh, did you talk to me?” Abuelo sniffled his mucus filled nostrils.His voice was heavily clouded with catarrh.Nash gritted his teeth as he looked at the old man.“No bitch! Why would I want to talk to a limpy man? Tsk.”Abue

    CEO Connor then turned to Lewis.“I need solid evidence that this man was with you that night.”Somehow, Lewis saw this coming, but he was not afraid because no matter what, they can't lie or hide forever. “How about we bring Chun Li? He was the master planner of this scheme,” Lewis threw CEO Connor a glance.“No, we are not bringing forth another inmate. Ten officers suspended their work for you,” he exhaled, “I told you what will happen if you don't succeed in this.”The officers had to sigh, they now looked pissed off that their boss had to listen to Lewis. CEO Connor turned to them and said, “Thanks for your time, you can go back to your duties.”They soon dispersed, leaving only Lewis, officer Viviette and the CEO in the mess hall.Officer Viviette jumped down from the table and cleared her throat. Really, she had been seated there because she thought she would recognise the officer but it didn't work out and now they had to find another way to clean this mess. Clearly looking,

    Officer Viviette didn't waste a second to head to CEO Connor's office, she was over the moon but she tried hard to hide it, though the little blush on her face gave her out.Bringing her to ask herself, was she happy because Lewis wasn't her attacker or that fair justice will be served?“When did he say this?” CEO Connor asked.“Not too long ago.”“Officer Viviette, you went against my order. Didn't you get my message?” CEO Connor asked, his face was void of any emotions.“But we were about to execute the wrong man, aren't you happy that we didn't make this big mistake?” “Happy?” he sighed, “All of them are equal.”But officer Viviette disagreed with that, she inwardly shook her head. Even though those prisoners have been termed as harmful people, she couldn't say that for Lewis. She always has a strange feeling when it comes to him and after this she should privately look into this matter.“We will reinvestigate the case again, and if it turns out that the original trial was wrong,

    ~DR ward, Chicago prison~An officer in charge of DR inmates dragged Lewis in his oversized white pants. Yesterday, after he was sent to the DR [death row] ward, they provided a new uniform for him, specially made for DR inmates. It was a white bogo vest with ‘DR’ engraved on the back, and oversized pants with a rubber white sandal.The belief is that dressing in an all white uniform will get them to recognize their sins and repent before execution.Now, there was no smile on Lewis's face as the officer took him to the viewing room.It was a large overhead pond with lots of colorful fishes in it. Lewis stood there for a minute and got bored real quick, not that the view interested him but then his eyes fell on one of the windows lining up at the opposite second floor.Someone was peeking out of it and he could see the person.Officer Viviette.She raised her index finger to shush him, silently telling him not to talk.He gulped before throwing a look at the guard who stood on the exi

    When she got to the office, she unlocked the door and stepped in. The heater was on, and immediately she felt the warmth, she had to lean her back on the door for a minute before exhaling heavily.Then she started rummaging her drawer for the key to the drug center. It was next door beside her. She found the key and stood in front of the door.Staff were not ordinarily allowed in there, the door is only opened every Saturdays to refill drugs or on days inmates were released and they would need them to sign a paper or on rare days death row inmates are to be executed like Lewis.She sighed before unlocking the door. The coolness of the placid room chilled her, and the white ambience added to the fresh smell of mint. They sprayed nontoxic substances to mask the smell of drugs.Immediately she went to the file holder and searched through. It didn't take time to find Lewis's file. She exhaled again, perhaps she should carry this to her office and read. They are yet to install a CCTV in h

Uhm, I work there actually, here is my batch and there has been a case recently which I am trying to work on.” officer Viviette explained.The tech guy with a relaxed face gave her time to express herself before replying, “Which correctional institution?” the guy asked.“Chicago prison.”The guy momentarily zoned out before picking a flier from his desk, he surveyed it and handed it to Viviette.Viviette reluctantly took it, she turned it around only to view something that shattered her heart into million pieces. Her face ashened.The guy cracked his knuckles and said, “Townsfolk have been offered bucks to get claws on Lewis once they see him.”“Ho-how how?” Viviette stammered.“I know what brought you here and you must know that we receive every news about what transpired inside that jug.

    “Boss, I heard that fish was sentenced to death, I don't have to do the job again, right?” Nash approached Chun Li in the flight of stairs when he was going downstairs to have a cigarette.“What? Come here,” his voice was deep and smoky.Nash fidgeted but he knew better not to waste time, so he drew closer to Chun Li.“Do you know that all deaths are not the same? There is different pain for each death and there are levels to these pains,” he puffed smoke into the air.“Now, when he dies through legal execution, he dies peacefully with the Lord, because men who serve God will pray and have him to repent before execution. But when he dies by the blade of this dagger, he dies with his sins and the blood of an innocent man,” Chun Li explained with all seriousness.He pinched Nash on the cheek making him contour his face in pain.“Do you see the difference now?” he asked.“Ye-ye-yes!” Nash cried.“And if you really want to join my gang, this is your assignment. I believe you know what hap

    ~Court room, Chicago~After acknowledging the judge, the opening speech was read before the judge commenced his speech.“In today's trial, the murderer of James Yuri will face the law and its judgment. Can the accused stand please?” the judge ordered.Lewis stood up and clasped his hands. “Mr. Lewis Baker you are guilty for murdering James Yuri and therefore, by the power of the law and in the belief of true justice, you are therefore sentenced to death by hanging,” the judge ordered.The crowd muttered among themselves. James' relatives and friends cheered because finally justice was served.“Court adjourned!” The judge knocked the gravel. Then the members stood up in honor for the judge to exit.After that, they started dispersing, leaving the room as they entered. Lewis stood motionless in the accused box.Finally, it happened, he thought.He looked around the room and locked eyes with Duke who was approaching him with an inexpressive face.“Mr. Lewis, it's me again, Duke.”He off
