Number 501 (Needs Editing)

You First

He took grip of the clothes and began to change in front of all of us. 304, Allice, and I all began to do the same. Once all fully clothed in prison guard uniforms, Jaquil addressed us to stay in the prison cell while he went and stole the laptops. We could only pray that he came back with one. He left the cell quick, scurrying his way across the halls and down to the security center. From then on, we lost sight of him and stayed in the room and talked. 

"I'm scared," Allice spoke quickly, "I'm scared of what's out there. What were going to find." There was brief pause as 304 and I stared at him, waiting for him to continue. "You do realize that when we get out there, if we don't find shelter, or food, or water, we have two, maybe if we're lucky three days. Before we die of thirst."

"We'll be fine. Besides, what other choice do we have. We can sit here and live out our lives? Fine Allice, be my guest." I tried as hard as I could to remind him why we were doing this. We can't stay here any longer. Then 304 butted it.

"What I don't understand Logan, is that, if you are who you say you are. Innocent. Then why don't you just work closer with Dynam and Reckt to get you sent home. We belong here Logan, we all committed crimes that we're not proud of. You haven't. You need to go home."

"And I shall, at some point. But right now, my main goal is to prove those assholes! Reckt and Dynam! That they don't know who we are! And that we're smarter than they think! We can get out of this place. We are getting out of this place. Whether that means going out there and dying."

Allice and 304 both looked at me and smiled. Tonight was the night we were getting out of here, no matter what we had to do. Guns blazing or just simply walking our way out, we're getting out of here. And that's right when Jaquil returned with not one laptop, but two of them. 

He said, "I figured you might need more than one." We all started laughing as he handed them over to Allice. He quickly fired them up and began typing his fast little ten fingers away. Clicking every button not a second apart from the other. He stared into the screen, codes popping up in numerous places on it, him typing as fast as they came. And suddenly, he was in the prison database. He searched a few stuff and managed to get himself into the security cameras menu. He clicked on all of the ones through the main hallway and went to turn them off when Jaquil stopped him.

"Not yet." Jaquil said. We all stopped and looked towards him. 

"Why not?" I asked. 

"Wait two more minutes. That's when night time is. Dozens of guards will be roaming the hallways and we'll fit right in. Disable the cameras then." He explained to Allice, but there was one thing I remembered during the fight with the Benjamin Bros.

"Wait! Every cell has to have a check up by a guard. There are going to be four cells that don't have prisoners in them. Our cells."

But of course, Jaquil had a perfect answer for that like he does everything. "That's simple. When we leave the cell, everyone run to their own cell and guard it until everyone starts to leave. That way everyone assumes there's a prisoner still in there."

"Alright then." We all agreed to it. And finally, it was time. With a quick press of the button, the cameras in the main halls stopped recording. We couldn't have turned them completely off or the people that monitor them 24/7 would freak out. We just stopped the recording so they can't pull up the feed later once they find out we're gone. Now for our criminal rating watches. He had each one of scan our finger prints into the computer and all typed in a few codes and it was astonishing. The bright number on my skin vanished. A part of me, felt human again. Not that I wasn't in the first place, but when one of these is put into your skin, it makes you feel like sort of a cyborg. For once in my life, I wasn't worrying about numbers. 

"Times up everyone. Get to your cells and stand guard. Once all the others start to make their way to the security center, that's when we go to. Meet towards the back of the group and we'll figure out what happens after that. Go!" Jaquil yelled to us and then we heard it. The alarm sounding night and then guards spilling out into the halls. We all made our way out and back to our original cells. I could see 304 in the distance guarding his. We stared at each other with our heart beating faster than they had ever beat before. Watching hundreds of guards roll by, glancing at us, then turning around. I could see Dynam in the distance, standing by the security center. He had his arms crossed and had the disturbing smile upon that excuse for a face. I wish I never would have started working for him. But look! Now it back fired, and we're getting out of here once and for all. Finally. 

A minute went by and the guards began making their way back the way they came. As soon as 304 stepped away from his cell, I stepped away from mine. Not long after walking at the back of the horde, Jaquil and Allice met up with us. "Don't break." Jaquil whispered. "Hold formation."

We kept walking, gliding, slowly across the halls and then stopping at the security center as everyone piled inside. "Keep your head down, we don't want Dynam recognizing us." Jaquil also said. Each guard stepped into the security center and we were next. I kept a close eye on my feet and where I was walking. I could feel Dynam standing right next to me, I could hear his breathing, I could feel his gaze onto me. And once we were all in, and then we heard the famous saying from Dynam like we hear it every night. 

"Lights out!" He yelled through the halls as it echoed all the way down. Except this time, we were on the other side of the line.
