Chapter 120The alarms sounded, shimmering into the ears of the inmates waking them up from their sleep. It was quite earlier than the rest of the days and that was because it was a special day. Most of the Inmates that had been in the prison for years were finally getting their freedom back and they would be going home finally, after a long, long wait.The timetables for the day had been set and the inmates were made aware of what was going to happen today. New inmates were going to roll in either from a transfer from another prison or sentencing. And at the same time, a few people were going to leave— only those that survived though.It had been said that most of the inmates that would have gotten their freedom the next day were likely killed by their fellow inmates because of envy and other reasons which weren't made known to the General public.Mike and Leah after hearing all of the horrors had their eyes and their ears open throughout the night. They knew they had no excuse for n
Chapter 1The sun was setting, casting an orange glow over the fields as he ran. He had been running for at least 15 minutes, ever since he had escaped from the bullies. He was tired, hungry, and thirsty. Panting and almost breathless, he decided to catch his breath for a few seconds. If he were to be caught, he would be beaten to a stupor for he was the hunted. He had been dealing with this since he got into college and spent most of his time running through the fields, away from the bullies. He continued to run for miles, before finally finding a place to rest. But his joy was short-lived. He heard their footsteps. The bullies were coming. He started running again, and he did not stop until he came to a deserted apartment. He lay on his back, gasping for breath, before finally getting to his feet. He was free. He had done it. "One more word or step from you and I will make sure you never see the light of the day ever again, such guts you have got, trying to run away from me" a
Chapter 2 "For you to come back home," the caller blurted out. "That would be the death of me" Shawn retorted, scoffing. With a curl on his lips, he was sure this was all part of his father's plan to get him to go home, and he was not about to back out now, not just yet. Grinning, he took in the air of the environment. He was happy for today is the beginning of a new semester. He hoped it would bring new and happy things to him. Hurriedly, he grabbed a pair of blue jeans and his favorite shirt, he did not want to miss the bus. "A gentleman would give up his seat for a young lady" a voice hovering above Shawn's head had said. Shawn lifted my eyes to a pair of one of the most beautiful eyes he had seen. When poets said the eyes are the windows to the soul, do not doubt it. With blue eyes widened, she threw up both hands. “Now hold on a minute, you look surprised,” she raised a brow "Well, some guts you have, telling me to give up my seat" I complained"As every gentleman would"
Chapter 3 "Hey! Stop that! Right now!" A voice had said and they all turned to see a man in his fifties or sixties maybe wearing a tux, standing by the door. Heaving a sigh of relief and smiling was Shawn, he was grateful. Using one of his hands behind his back, he dialed a number hoping the old man would show up. "Yo, old man, this isn't any of your business. Now get out of here before I do something we both would regret" the bullies' leader implored the old man. The old man only shook his head and smiled. "Mate, you better tell this savior of yours to run along now," he threatened, turning back to Shawn. "You! I said, get out!" He screamed becoming angry. As he approached the old man, a few men in black suits entered the room. Only then did Shawn see a bit of fear and hesitation in his eyes which he quickly hid away. "What y'all want? This is my home, this is my city. Ain't nobody going to come in here and mess up my business. Now, I don't want to repeat myself, get out! Now!"
Chapter 4 "Hello" he started with the bullies watching keenly, about to find out what the "old pal" could do. "Looks like you lost network there pal. Need help with that, are you even sure you can handle a phone?" The leader of the bullies cajoled, grinning from ear to ear. This had sent the bullies roaring into laughter as they could not fathom how this old man and Shawn could pull this stunt with a few phone calls. Making them lose everything they have, surely this was impossible. Anyone else could have been a probability but not Shawn, he was a nobody, he had nothing and it would take him whole millennia to be able to pull this off. "Boss, they thought we would fall for this trick" one of the bullies nagged smiling. "Not even a baby would fall for it, you have to do better than this" another had gibed. Calmly, the old man dialed a number again. "Hello, I want the families of..." The old man continued. The bullies were beginning to lose their balance. Shawn saw the looks t
Chapter 5 "Young master, please do not tell me you have checked the internet" the old man begged. "Why?""I'll be with you shortly," He urged."Young master..." "Do not call me that, do not ever call me that" Shawn retorted"I presume that you have seen it then," the old man answered bowing his head in shame "How can I not? I'm the number talked about person on the internet as we speak, I am trending and for all the wrong reasons" "I take responsibility for it, I will tell your father it was my mistake. Please, do not take this to heart, I promise I will take care of it" "That is the problem. You all think that I need help and cannot take care of myself. Go on, go on and mess my life up like you always do. Just this time around, make sure you do it properly" "I'm sorry, young..." He said and must have remembered Shawn said not to be called young master ever again. "Didn't you collect all their phones and anything else they might have used?" "I did, sir. You saw me do it""Of
Chapter 6 "Shawn? Shawn! Where are you?" It was a lady's voice, what was she doing in the men's? "Hey! What are you doing here? This is the male section" "Shush," she said placing her fingers over her lips. "Who are you?" Shawn inquired "I know what the bullies did to you, and I am the one that will help you get your revenge," she explained."I do not understand, revenge? I never said I wanted revenge" Shawn puzzled "Who are you anyway?" Shawn inquired and she went silent"Answer me" Shawn yelled "You ask too many questions and worry too much. It's no wonder they were able to get you" She retorted "What does that mean?" Shawn queried, trying to control himself from losing his patience "For now, we have to figure out how to get you out of here," She thought "We sure do" Shawn agreed "Such an ungrateful son of a bitch" she jeered "How do we get out then?" "When classes are over" she answered simply "Are you mad? You expect me to stay here in the men's..." Shawn started bef
Chapter 7 "Okay, I think I can pull some strings" Shawn admitted almost cursing himself for doing so. "And about her, I can't forgive her. I am sure she has some secret she is hiding. I will find out and make her pay" Shawn promised "How?" She inquired, this was the part she liked best. "I hope you're smart enough to know you can't approach her by yourself?" She added"Of course, I know that. I am not that dumb" Shawn objected"You were dumb enough the first time" she jeered "She will pay, and well" Shawn smiled mischievously "You just do your thing and I will do mine" Shawn added "I am Leah, and I think we will be great partners" she stretched out her hand. Shawn was confused as to what the handshake was for. For the partnership or for having a deal. "We are strangers," Shawn said trying to remind her of her early advice "I won't forget that, now the problem is you. Can you remember to pretend to not know me?" She asked and just then they were interrupted by someone ente
