The Fugitives: There's always a plan Quietus
J-kill and Paul ran into an unknown direction, paving through the dense forest. As they stormed through the forest, it morphed into a large open space, cluttered with rocks of different sizes. Paul had no idea about where they were headed, he just had to follow J-kill like a puppet.“Com'on, we're getting close.” J-kill beckoned and started running towards an unpaved road surfaced with gravel. The more they get closer, the more a noticeable grin masked Paul's face. For more than three years, he had never felt such a tender joy.“Is that it?” Paul asked when they stopped running.“Yes! That's our way out. We're out of this forest. Woah,” J-kill yelled.With Paul's eyebrows scrunched up, he asked, “you know about this escape route all these while?”“I think I do, I just don't remember the way. I had to think.” He answered and walked briskly towards the gravel road. They wandered through the road, though J-kill wasn't feeling hopeful, Paul was consumed with zestfulness, that he was fina

Jones' eyes widened when he saw Jason unleashing a gun, with his hand on the trigger guard already. And in a split second, a whip-crack sound exploded out of the barrel.“Jones!!!!!!” Kenny yelled at the top of his voice when he saw Jones pacing towards Jason, immediately the gun was fired.Coming to the realization that the gun shot he heard was fired towards Kenny. He quickly lunged at Jason.They both crashed to the ground together, rolled together through the wet, dirt, and the thorns and the broken branches, tearing and punching and growling at each other. A large tree root hit Jones in the head, making his ears to ring. Jones got more advantageous with the punches as they rolled down the broken branches.Jason was looking rashly for his pocket gun but couldn't remember where it had fallen.

The Fugitives: There's always a plan Who are you?
It was a quiet afternoon in Twilight hotel. Jones and his colleague were still on their morning shift, waiting patiently to hand over to the new staff. “Hey man! Are you one of the new staff?” Jones' colleague asked him.“Yes I am.” Jones replied without looking at him. The receptionist outfit he was wearing matched his slenderly built body.“You are…?” The colleague said as he stretched his hand to Jones' badge, “Gene Jones, right?”“Yeah, right.” Jones replied with a wry smile. New staff were supposed to start work that afternoon, but Jones was already there since the beginning of the day and his helpful attitude to his colleague raised no argument on what shift he was.In a jiffy, two men with unfamiliar faces walked into the hotel and headed straight to the elevator. Jones had been keeping records of everyone that recently checked out, but these two men seemed unfamiliar. The colleague sensed that Jones facial expressions were altered when those two men walked in. “Hey Jones,

“Who the hell are you?” He asked with his eyebrows scrunched up. “The guy you didn't count on.” Jones said with a wintry smile. “What do you mean?” He asked as he stood up elegantly, keeping his fears aside. He pressed on to the question with so much anticipation. Although his face was wizened, his agility didn't support his old age. “Sit down,” Jones said with a calm voice, but it seemed like his calm voice was too calmed to be obeyed. Tomica refused to listen. “Sit down,” He said, pronouncing every word slowly. There was some action in his tone and Tomica could feel it, but that had nothing to do with him sitting down. The gun Jones pointed at him was the control that ducked him back to his seat. “How do you expect me to answer every of your questions if you don't keep it cool.” Jones stated. “Keep it cool? Really?” He said, “how do you expect me to keep it cool when the police will be here any minute and my secrets will be blown out. I have fucking work for this, okay?” Jon
The Fugitives: There's always a plan The Abduction
Walter drove a vintage four doors with a spacious cab that you might be able to use to camp out or play a game of bridge. He was genuinely short and unassuming slight build, diminishing grey hair, delicate voice, and his light blue eyes made people trust him.Even though his rival; Joan, operated a slightly smaller car, its rear seat was still capable of accommodating three full-size adults with their luggage in the trunk. The real point of contention between them was their association with Melvin Otani as collector of the enterprise, and they would do just about anything they could to make it.As soon as Walter spotted Holly Minard,“I have the target on sight.” Walter said through the earphone.“Get everything ready as planned.” He added as he drove to her.Holly Minard was dressed in a standard professional suit - a white blouse and black trousers. She looked seductive even in her suit because of her hourglass figure.He slammed on the brakes and spoke with almost a calm voice. “
The Fugitives: There's always a plan The Conventional Center
Jones kept on staring at his wristwatch and was losing patience. Meanwhile, he was able to notice some surreptitiously movements of some residing hosts. He quickly dialed a call after he saw one of the residing host secretly taking a picture of him. It was very obvious that Melvin was very influential, since he had eyes everywhere. “Hello.” Jones fixed his golden brown eyes on the guard taking his picture, as he spoke through the phone. “Hey papi...you got her?” A male voice sound from the phone. “No, we've been made.” Jones said as he turned his gaze towards the waiter whispering through an earphone. “What? You kidding right?” He asked. “Daniel, you heard me, just keep the car running, okay? Things might go south.” Jones said. “Alright… I'm in the parking garage.” He said and hung up. It didn't take long before Joan arrived with some of the Melvin's lackeys. The screeching sound of the cars and the loud bullwhip-like crack as the supersonic bullets pierced through most

Melvin doesn't like receiving reports with flaws. So, Joan instructed some of his men to furtively wait on Jones as he pretended to be off, which made the agents to cease fire.Jones' picture was all over their phones, so it wasn't difficult for them to identify him. They trailed them.“Hey papi... We got company,” Daniel said, looking at the rearview mirror. “Keep moving… Lose them, can you do that?” Jones asked, but it sounded more like a command.“Sure!” Daniel replied as he hit on the accelerator. He finally started slowing down after a couple of minutes because of the traffic lights ahead.“Don't slow down…keep moving.” Jones commanded. He did as he was instructed. He kept moving, and the gang followed suit. Authority pursued them since they refused to pull-over for the traffic lights. It was definitely Jones' plan to get the police raider on them.The chase was no longer uniform as both cars were chased. Daniel swerved into a different lane as directed by Jones, hoping Joan's

They dashed to the forested road, where a ride was patiently waiting for them.“Man… How did you know we were gonna be here?” Daniel asked as he shook hands with the masked man seated on the car bonnet. He had a mask on, yet was easily recognized.He pulled the ski mask from his head, revealing a rugged, stubbled jaw and a handsome face topped with a mop of unruly brown hair. “Even with this mask, you recognize me,” He said, smiling.“Of course,” Daniel stated as they burst into boisterous laughter.“It was part of the plan.” Jones said, putting an end to the stormy laughter.“Now… I'm lost.” Daniel said, expecting an explanation.“Yeah… It was an alternative plan if stopping Holly Minard's abduction fails.” He said, scanning the surrounding.“And the police… Was that also part of the plan?” Daniel asked snoopily.“No… It wasn't part of the plan, per say.” He replied with his brow raised, and a smile extended all over his face.“I know you planned everything beforehand, but I'm in th

Dreadful Confrontation
“This is FBI, you're completely surrounded, Surrender now!” Came a voice from a megaphone as they close on Jones and the rest of the prisoners, who were still alive. They didn't expect everything to turn out this way, the deaths and everything happening was never close to what Jones planned.Jones and the escaped prisoners were taking cover with the stolen car, while the FBI agents were closing on them from both side. If they should keep running at the open space that lead to the forest, there's a high chance they won't make it there without getting shot.And there is no other option better than surrendering, and Jones wasn't ready to go back to prison. If they are caught as it seems like, they might not get thrown into Atlad prison again. What fate awaits them?“Does that mean, I will be thrown into the same prison as my brother? Is he even in any prison? Why is it not known to public! Dammit,” Jones doesn't know what to believe anymore. He was having mixed feelings and feeling bad w

The Bounty
Melody briskly walked out of the brick building. It was an old building that had an undeniable serenity. The fusty nosegay of age and quietness embraced her as she walked through the environment.There were drawings imprinted on the walls of the building, but they all seemed to have faded away along the design layers.Despite its deteriorated state, the whole building and the environment had the peace the other world craved.“Hey Melody,” Ramon waved at her and walked towards her.“How's your man, uhm…Chris?” She asked without staring at him. She felt bad and didn't like how she was feeling despite being in a safe place. She tried comforting herself that all seemed to be fine, but she was merely betraying her true feelings.“Oh, Yeah, he's getting better.” He exhaled heavily, before throwing the question he had always wanted to ask since they got the news about Jones escaping. “Why did Jones hire you as his lawyer?”She hiked her head up and stared in surprised at him. She never expec

The Stolen Car
Jones and the other escaped prisoners were still running at a fast pace through the woods. They are tired, sweaty and breathing heavily. “I knew it. I knew it will get to this. Everything is just fucked up.” Kenny said, slowing down his pace.“I never wanted to join the escape. I—I… I really don't want any of this.” Kenny stammered, trying to catch his breath. He was clearly close to despair. With that, Jones and the other prisoners stopped running.“How long are we going to keep running?” Paul asked out of frustration.Everyone was tired and frustrated. They trusted Jones' plan, but it seemed like everything was going south. They got found before, and they believe the police will find them again if they don't get out of the woods now.Jones had to deploy a new escape plan the very moment he found out that his brother was not in Atlad prison. So his former plan had a means of getting them out of the woods with ease, but since they weren't using his initial plan, it was going to be d

Teaming Up
Detective Jason stood with a group of armed police officers at the edge of the forest. Armored cars and patrol cars were parked everywhere. Forensics roamed around with files.“Here's all we found.” One of the forensics said and handed over a document to Jason. He took the document with the stacks of photos of the escaped prisoners. He first looked at a photo of Jones' face, trailing it down to his body.“An Architect, right?” He asked and Officer Alex, who was beside him, nodded affirmatively.“Why is the occupation showing unemployed? He is supposed to be working for different companies and such people ain't expect to take bad turns accidentally. Hmmm,” He peered through his sunglasses at a photo of Jones' body tentatively. After staring for long and getting no glimpse of anything, he sighed and ordered the FBI unit to set a perimeter, so that Jones and the other prisoners couldn't elude the arrest, since he believed they were still in the forest.During his drive to his office, a

Most Wanted Men
The Warden paced forth and back in his office, thinking frantically about what to do, while Officer Alex just stood there with his brown eyes peering down in a confused state. “Do you have any idea of the consequences of what you've done?” The Warden spoke out, but still walking around, looking confused as well.He just couldn't control all that was happening. He felt gullible, trusting that silky voice of Jones and falling prey to his plans.“I thought you were to be trusted. What happened to all the trust I had in you? The faith, everything I have taught you all these years we've been working together.” He added, breathe out heavily and finally took his seat.“Sir Aaron, I didn't…" Officer Alex was interrupted before he could even utter the next word.“Don't address me by my name. Address me like everyone else, you've lost the trust. So don't ever!!” Warden Aaron said with his forefinger gesturing a no.“Sir… Sorry, Warden,” Alex paused for a while, “I didn't do it.

Forever Running?
The inmates flee through the woods speedily as the cool breeze brushed their faces. They were able to see clearly now, since the sun was just starting to rise, but not fully set.Jones pushes branches of trees that were covered with dew as they made their way through the huge forest. His cheeks were already red as a result from the exertion, and his blue prison suit was soaked with sweat and water from the trees.From the way they were panting, it was obvious they had been running for hours, and they didn't even stop for a moment despite there was a need to.The prison guards didn't stop chasing them, so they had the chance of resting. They kept tracking them with the use of dogs, and dogs barking always raised an awareness of the guards' proximity to them. They seem to be on the trail of the escaped prisoners. “Come on! Jones,” Kenny gasped to Paul, who paused to catch his breath. He was so exhausted, but he had to keep running if he wanted to escape. He took to his feet and joined
