Across Book 2

Chapter 14 : Jail Break

"We break into the prison in daylight, dressed as prisoners and get them out." Vinsh continued, "This plan starts with me, it is on me to teleport you all with me into the prison."

"But you know Jacob and Brock," Ryan pointed to the facts, "you can teleport yourself directly to their cell to bring them back."

"That is correct,'' Vinsh poked his glasses upward, "however it's a matter of timing. Imagine a scenario where I teleport myself to Jacob, and find myself in the food inlet of the prison, instead of Jacob's prison cell, because I teleported during lunch hours. It'll result in an alert and who knows maybe within the next few moments until I can teleport out of there, I am pinned down by the security and it gets further complicated with the chaos? And let's run a scenario where I do get Jacob out safe, but Brock is still in his cell. A missing prisoner from the cell will call for more alert and the security will keep an eye on everyone with a tight grip. It'll be even harder to break in and save Brock again in another attempt.

Hence, is it better to go in as a team, find those two and teleport out together. It has another advantage as well - Garion," Vinsh pointed, "he will hack into the systems to distribute an old footage of the cell instead of the real time footage."

"How will we teleport in ?" Rayman spoke.

"Right now, I can only teleport to either Jacob or Brock, which is indeed risky. I have to enter the prison beforehand to a separate landmark, to teleport all of us safely that will not land us directly inside the cell." Vins answered, confidently.

"Are you going to go in first ?" Ryan pointed.

"Yes," Vinsh opened the small suitcase. He took out a few documents stapled in orderly manner, "these are official forms that will grant me access as a visitor to Jacob. The forms say I am there to talk to Jacob about his lawyer in the trail. But instead, I will be collecting info about the prison timings to teleport inside safely when there's less traffic and moments. This has another point to it. After visiting Jacob, I check out from the prison, hence there's an alibi that I got out before Jacob's disappearance from his cell.

But if any of the guards, with whom I might interact on the first visit, spot me inside again, that'll call for trouble. So we have to move in carefully."

"Does the prison have uniforms ?" Ryan questioned.

"Most prisons in the UK don't have any uniform. But we need something to match their code of conduct." Vinsh pointed to the wardrobe in the hotel room. He walked up to it and opened the door, "Here is something to fit among them."
The wardrobe had few old Tees and baggy trousers.

"After we're inside, we'll stick as a team to go locate Jacob, making our way to Brock. Forming separate teams will be efficient however, teleporting out would be that difficult." Vinsh concluded.

The team went through the wardrobe. Vinsh went through the official documents again. After a while going over the plan, they went downstairs again to the minivan. The journey to the final destination had started.

Vinsh drove the minivan smoothly, examining the points over and over again in his head. He looked at his watch. It had a timer which started automatically when he teleported. It was quite handy and to Vinsh, it was helpful. But on occasions, he chose not to rely on it. He also thought about Jacob and Brock and how it had already been a few days since they were serving their time in prison. He should hurry, he should definitely hurry.

The minivan reached the destination, but not near the HMP Belmarsh prison. It was parked several metres away behind an active construction site. That was the part of the plan. Garion had to operate from the minivan.
