It was evening when the car pulled up in front of the prison gates, after long five hours of driving. The prison was in a desolate place where one would have to drive hours before they could come across a gas station or a grocery store. It was completely out of civilization and was one of the worst prisons which contained hardened criminals and hitmen."You hate me so much, don't you?" Liam couldn't hide his dismay as he directed this to Detective Maverick."I don't understand what you mean, Mr. Price," the Detective was a bit confused at this."Of all the prisons in the world, it's this place you deem best fit for me," Liam shook his head in self-pity as he took in a proper view of the place. He doubted he would be able to survive a day."These men will remain here until they grow old and die, while most of them will get killed in a few days, weeks, or months." Said Detective Maverick "So no one knows me as Liam Price?" Liam lifted a brow."No, they don't," the detective shook his
Liam slipped his head out of the wash basin and gasped loudly. His hands moved to his face and he made use of some liquid soap and water to wash his face.After drying his face with a fresh towel, he looked into the mirror to stare back at his reflection.True to his thoughts, his head was shaved bald and he was a bit petrified at the person staring back at him.His head was too shiny and he felt very different from the Liam Price whom he had been in the past hour months. It was the first time he had seen himself like that and he felt very weird. He doubted his people would recognize him with all of his hair gone. If he suddenly appeared in front of Big Tony like that, the man would stare at him in confusion, except he would take a closer look at him.Going out in the open like that, no one would even recognize him as Liam Price. They would walk right past him without sparing him a second glance. Except that wasn't even possible because starting from that day onward, he would be con
Liam was pushed to confront his horror the following morning. He wasn't even given a few more hours to rest as he was taken back to his cell, to meet with his cellmates once more. If he could be granted one wish, it would be to find himself in another cell and not that exact cell that contained the men who beat him black and blue the previous day. Seeing their faces again was way too much for him to handle "I can see you're back," Robbs stroked his beard. He was the leader out of all three men.Liam bit back a groan as he stood, unmoving. He couldn't even turn his neck to the other side because it was stuff from the beatings he received the previous day. It felt like the medications given to him were useless because the pains were worse than before.Life kept getting worse for him, although he was partly at fault for what happened yesterday since the first thing which came out of his mouth was a challenge. And then his face was used as a punching bag.Liam remained in his standing s
The following day, Benjamin Price was wheeled into the court gallery by a police officer.His sons were as well present with the lawyer they had hired to defend him. While Avery, Triple M was already in the dock, ready to testify against Benjamin Price and plead guilty to his murder attempt."Where is the victim?" The judge looked around, expecting to see Liam but he couldn't find him. Even his place on the left dock was empty."He has business to take care of," Avery provided, making sure her voice was firm and bold."Upon knowing we have a trial?" Asked the judge, because he was confused at this. He thought Liam would be present."He's the victim after all, he's not here but we can still communicate with him while he's away," Avery opened the laptop on the chair beside her. Her face spread into a small smile as she popped some buttons on the keyboard. It seemed as though she already knew what she was doing.There was a short pause as people exchanged confused looks. They wondered w
Meanwhile, Liam was still having a hard time in jail, from being taunted to being bullied. No one even knew about his real identity, the burlier men hit him when they wanted to and sent him to run their errands.He was being treated lowly since he was a newbie and didn't look cruel like the rest of the prisoners. If they were released from jail one way or the other, national security would not be at risk since these men were way too dangerous for their own good. It'd be a risk for them to move freely in public because the lives of people would be at stake.Liam heard awful tales of how these men killed people, most had killed hundreds while the rest had lost count of the people they had unalive.Liam struggled in his day-to-day life in prison, from filling his stomach with water, since he couldn't eat the disgusting food, to working and having his money taken from him. All the time. Robb didn't do any of his jobs even when the coaster bus took them to different destinations to work,
The letter was from Avery as Liam had expected. She wrote him three days ago and it took two days before it got delivered to him.___Dear LiamHow is prison treating you? I know it's not good but I hope it's not as bad as people claim it is. I've always wanted to write you but I tend to forget because I get bone tired every day. Handling your company and mine has to be the most complicated thing ever. Benjamin Price lost the case and was given two life sentences, while Triple M has five life sentences, can you imagine? I need you to tell me all about your experience in prison, and the challenges you face. Eagerly waiting for your response. I added some money to the envelope which I took time in folding so it would not be suspicious that I am sending you money. I know you'd like to write me back and you'll be needing money to bribe the prison guards to post your letters. PS: I'll keep attaching the dollar bills to the letters each time I write you, and know it's not for free. You'll
It was never Liam's intention to get into a fight with Robb but from the on look of things, a fight was impending. Thinking about how Robb ruined a meal he wanted to enjoy made Liam seeth in ten shades of red once more.So when Robb sent his fist flying to connect with Liam's face, Liam dodged immediately and took some steps backward.He did it in a very professional way as if he had been dodging blows all his life. Even Lewis Baker was standing at some corner with a smug expression on his face.The prisoners were abandoning their trays of food and gathering, while they kept urging them to fight.Liam was still the newbie and Robb was a dangerous person who more than half of the prisoners feared. So it was interesting to see both him and Liam like that. Liam curled his fingers into tight hard fists as he continued the glare exchange with Robb. He didn't know if he was strong enough to beat Robb but he knew he would try as much as he could to defend himself from Robb."Hanging with L
It was worse than Liam ever thought when he went into the first restroom to clean up a few hours later.He hesitated before going in there and when he entered he realized that it was way worse than he predicted.It felt like the prisoners already knew he was coming so they deliberately messed up the place by leaving bits of poop everywhere.It was too much for Liam to take at the moment, it felt like he had reached his end. Ordering him to clean the restrooms was still the same as being a poop carrier.Liam cursed under his breath and immediately ran out because he almost gagged at the sight.The stench alone was way too much for his nostrils to handle at that point, and he felt he would get sick from it.He pressed his back against the wall as he panted and puffed out heavy breaths, wondering if he could go back in there and clean just as he was ordered by the prison Warden, Mr. MacFarlane.Why didn't the man give him a different kind of punishment like doing hard jobs or sending him
