The Fugitives: There's always a plan The Tracking Device
Alan quickly took his cellphone and dialed Jones' number. It wasn't going through, and it had nothing to do with network coverage, but one couldn't tell if not told. Ty walked towards them and handed a card to Alan.“Take this… Use this number,” Ty said, and gave him a card that had a foreign number on it. Alan just nodded and took the card.Ring!!!!“GJ on the online, what's the emergency?” Jones answered. This was the emergency line provided only for emergency cases and this was nothing other than being an emergency case.“Hey Jones… It's me, and I'm with Holly Minard, and we were ---”“Everything is fine…???” Jones asked with a hushed voice.With Alan's skittishly breaths, he answered,“No… no, we are not fine, Melvin traced us to the safe house, We are under attack.”“How's Minard?” He asked, but Holly Minard didn't allow Alan to answer before she yanked the cellphone from him and said.“We're completely surrounded, Melvin's guys are here, and uhm… Everything is… I don't know what
The Fugitives: There's always a plan Gunned
The rasp of the metal door opened slowly on its hinges, followed by a squeaking produced by the metal bob swinging back and forth. The high-pitched sound of the swinging metal bob de-escalated as Melvin's guys steal in. When Alan got there, the metal door was already ripped off and smoke filled the air, with a non-stopping fire, making it difficult for Alan to see his target. It was a chaotic and dangerous situation, with bullets whizzing past and ricocheting off metal surfaces.There were lifeless bodies on the ground when visibility was restored. Alan, who was behind a pillar that connected to the entryway leading to the stairwell, came out with his pistol ready to pull the trigger, if necessary. He moved surreptitiously towards the boxing ring. Well, he was wondering why there was a sudden break in the gun shots. A slightly overweight guy lunged at Alan as he drew closer to the boxing ring, but he quickly darted to the left and unleashed a devastating punch to his chin with his e

TWO MONTH LATER….It was a sunny morning in the bustling city of Oakland in Atlanta, and the streets were as busy as ever. People were hurrying to their jobs, students were rushing to their schools, and the city was alive with the sounds of honking cars and chattering crowds.Jones met his gopher in a red sedan car, a ringer already fitted with false plates. “Everything is set," Daniel stated.“Okay… Look behind, that car,” he said, pointing towards a black jeep behind them. “Use it and initiate the next plan.” “Erm…Oh, yeah, the next plan… The next plan, uh…"“Leave… That's the next plan.” He said with all seriousness. “Hey papi... This might not go your way, and I really don't….” He didn't finish before Jones interrupted.“Hey hey… Knock if off, You don't have to worry about anything. Just do as I say. Alright?"“Yeah… Do as you say, not do as you do.” Daniel got out of the car, he wore a black hoodie with a large kangaroo pocket at the front and a tight-fitting headdress creati
The Fugitives: There's always a plan Welcome To ATLAD
Melody hurled herself into his arm. Despite the cuffs on his hands, he was able to anticipate the hug. He felt like airing everything out to her, but the thought of ruining things struck him, and the only thing he could think of that moment was the romantic replays he believed Gaston had with Melody.“Do you still love him… Gaston,” Jones whispered to her. She stalled a little and laggardly loose her firm clasped.“Jones… I know you don't have a violence blood. You're not Gaston, so why are you doing this??,” Jones knew she was trying to evade his question. So he asked again.“Do you still love Gaston?” Despite Jones anticipation, she didn't say a word.“I will take your silence for a yes.”“And.uhm… all of these... ...” He exhaled sharply and continued. “There's nothing you can do about it, but there is a help you can render. Find whoever is trying to bury Gaston”“There is no one trying to bury him, the evidence was real. He killed the attorney general.”“No… The evidence was cooke
The Fugitives: There's always a plan We Are In
They wobbled as they joined other inmates in a single file, taking one more step, but it was the last one they might take as free men. With a trembling sigh, Jones lifted his leg and planted his foot down on the other side of the wall as they were herded by two armed guards. It might just been his imagination, but the sound of the footsteps seemed to resonate around the room as the burly guard made some derogatory remark about the prison. “This is Atlad Penitentiary, A place beneath hell.” It was the same guard that almost killed the spooked prisoner transported with Jones. Indeed, he was acting to what was seen on his face: MURDERThe guard continued blabbing some murderous phrases as he guarded the group through a metal door on one wall.Everyone was still like the waves of an ocean creeping steadily towards the shore, even murderers, thieves, and gangsters were all listening. It was obvious that he was the magnate of the prison. Meanwhile, Jones didn't give much to all he was sa
The Fugitives: There's always a plan 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
The Fugitives: There's always a plan 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
The Fugitives: There's always a plan What If He's Wrong
Melody showed up at the prison to see Jones immediately Gaston was transferred, but she has no idea about the transfer. 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

Matched Rivalry
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. Another resounding punch came from Jones and he couldn't block it.Jason held him as he rolled, making Jones to roll on alongside. They rolled down the hill, the world flipping and flipping

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

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. I will never a

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
