Byron stood to look Sucre in the eye, “Beatrice Smith, as in: Beatrice Don Smith, sister to Henry White?” Sucre nodded, “Yes.” Byron paused, trying to process everything he just heard. It wasn't possible! His stepmom couldn't possibly be working with Derek!Byron clenched his fist. He grabbed Sucre by the collar, lifting him in the air. “How dare you mention my stepmom's name? Are you crazy?”The cops immediately stood to pull Byron away from the other inmates. “Till you leave the surface of the earth, don't ever pin your dirty games with Derek on my relatives or family, you son of bitch.” Byron yelled, his eyes bloodshot red.He had never been more angry. The last thing he'd ever condole is a false accusation against his family. He'd never accept it.“Let go of me, you loser… why? Does the truth hurt this much? If you must know, Alex…”“Take him out.” The general cut Sucre short from saying anything else to trigger Byron, so he was taken outside, leaving himself with Sucre who adju
After an hour of constant questioning, Sophia still looked General Ben in the eyes and insisted she had nothing to do with Ljay's abducted, neither does she know who Derek or Beatrice is.“Denying wouldn't help your situation, lady. I'd advise you start talking… the two inmates already confessed, it's time you start doing the same.”Sophia bit her lower lip hard, “There are prisoners, of course they are looking for someone to pin their shameless act on.” She denied with a pity face.“So, you're telling me, you don't have Ljay in your possession? And you're not the mastermind of the escape?” “I'm not.” Sophia cried, wiping her eyes and causing her mascara to speed over her eye region.“Sir, I have no idea who this Surve guy…”“Sucre!” The General corrected.“...is. you have to believe me, they simply wanna drag me in the mud with them. I'm a nanny… I take care of five children, I'm barely outside except I wanna get groceries.” She lied.General Ben crossed his hands over his chest, st
Sophia was handcuffed and placed at the back of the van. Byron watched through the window as the van drove out of the premises.In less than two hours on the road, they finally got to the place as Sophia had mentioned.The van stopped and the door was opened for her to come out. The general didn't hesitate. He looked at the old house and walked over to the door.“Please forgive me, I was only doing my job.” She said with a pity voice as she watched the general open the door.When he walked inside, she smirked and quickly removed her knife from her pants pocket.She launched her legs on the cops face, kicking his nose hard and stabbing the other one in his left eye. He staggered then she quickly Hijacked his gun from his uniform pocket, shooting him with it.“Bitch!”She stretched her hands as she was still handcuffed and shot the six cops in less than four seconds, remaining the general who already walked inside. The General who realized they had been set-up, removed his gun and was
“I don't wanna talk to you…. Please leave!” Sara yelled at him, trying to walk away.He stood in front of her, not willing to let her leave without getting to talk to her.“I promise, you just have to hear me out. I'm sorry I couldn't tell you at that moment, lives were at ris…”“If you cared so much you wouldn't have tried to escape with the knowledge that I am pregnant!” She barked at him in tears.“I hate you and I'm sure my child hates you more for trying to abandon us!” She cried even more.She knew better than not listen to nurse bee when she warned her against falling for cons!“You're heartless!” She said bitterly.*CLINIC ALARM RINGS*She placed her stuff into her bag and as much as Byron tried to talk, the more she packed and quickly walked over to the door.“You're pregnant?” He asked, his expression unreadable.“Wait…” Before he could say, she was out.He knew her shift was over and she was done for the day. Other days, she would stay behind so they could spend some time w
Her cries from the phone drove him nuts. “Byron I don't know these people… Ahh!” She cried as the lady who took her 3 days ago gave her a hot slap across her face. “There’s more from where that came from, bitch! Don't you think there's a reason why this script is in my hand? Read it out to him or I blow your brains out!” Sara's cries filled the place and Byron could hear all of this through the phone in his ear. Byron heard it and frowned. Damn, he should have known Derek and his team had something to do with her disappearance. The Sara he knows would never skip work not even for the most common reason. “Sophia!” he called in anger. How dare they take her? “Don't call me just listen to whatever she has to tell you, Byron…. I wouldn't have to hit her if she plays her part!” Sophia yelled over the phone. “Pray nothing happens to her, if not.. I'd kill you with my bare hands.” Byron warned. “I'm so scared.” Sophia mocked. “Kindly advise? Listen to what your girlfriend h
“Listen, are we going to keep wasting time worrying about who might fall in here or we face what we are here for?” Byron asked.Yes he knew the consequences but the faster they got out of this dump, the better for all of them.“He is right.” Tbaj shrugged and they all started.The three of them dug and dug and dug until midnight. They all took turns in creating the whole, linking to the outer part of the place where they were going to crawl out and escape.When it was Byron's turn, he poured the sand that was coming from the outside into a bucket and handed it to Sucre for him to pour it somewhere before giving him back the empty bucket so he could continue the process.“Step aside.” Byron said and they all did as he said. “The sand is going to come down in 3.. 2..1.” At his last words, the place was filled with dust.They coughed and covered their nose as they raised their head to see the hole was now visible.“We did it!” Tbaj jubilated as they could all see the sky from where they
“Uh…nothing, nothing at all, we… were.. just…” Sucre didn't know what to say next as he was sweating, stuttering and shaking at the same time. He had never been more nervous. The cops almost caught them moving their bunk, what if they had seen the hole? Byron, who noticed Sucre had run out of what to say, quickly helped, “....Trying to adjust it… nothing serious, officer.” Suddenly, the noise from underneath their cell could be heard again. It started off slowly and bit by bit, it migrated into a loud noise, and this time, the cops noticed. They turned to each other and then back to the inmates. “What's that? What's that sound I'm hearing?” “Fuck!” Sucre cursed inwardly. Then he wiped his sweat, turning to Byron to help the situation. He remembered he had warned him about this but he had turned a blind eye to it. “Um… that's the sound of the rats… it's usually like that here…. right, Sucre?” Byron said and asked Sucre who nodded nervously. “Exactly.” The two cops gla
“I don't know, I think I stepped on something.” Tbaj said, worry etched on his face as the red light didn't stop flashing across the whole place. Sucre immediately lowered himself to check it out. He saw similar buttons surrounding the place where Tbaj was standing and was careful not to step on one himself. “Don't just look around, what is it? And why is the beeping sound…” He sighed in frustration. “Who turned on the red light? Why is it blinking? Is it because I stepped on this thing?” he asked, afraid to take a step from the button he was stepping on. After carefully scanning the button Tbaj was standing, Sucre said, “It's some kind of explosive button.” Tbaj’s heart sank. “Explosive?!” He breathe heavily, “What does that mean? Will I be dead?” He panicked as his pounded against his chest and his palm felt cold. “If you remove your legs from there, you will be dead.” Sucre announced, sending shivers down Tbaj's spine. Tbaj's sweat kept rolling down his face and dropping
