Rob is then taken to a confined, cemented room as he was expecting.

He is interrogated about the whereabouts of his heist crew by another one of his kind: 'the chief of the prison'.

"Where are they?!" The warden yelled at him.

"My crew? What difference would it make? They're long and gone from here." Rob replied.

"Yes your crew for Christ's sake, don't play dumb with me boy. The fact that you turned yourself in I understand, but let me make myself clear: you are still obligated by law to serve your time for your felonies!" The chief says but then starts again, "If I even fantasize about you busting out of this hellhole, then I'll add a death penalty and life sentence to your previous crimes. Do you understand? And while you're at it, keep in mind that this is how I operate my prison. So no funny business! You will address me as 'sir' and you will follow your daily routine."

"Am I clear?!"

"Yes sir." Rob answered hastily.

"Good, now that you are properly acquainted with my ethics, you are dismissed but bear in mind that I want those answers soon or there will be serious consequences."

In spite of the foolishness of the chief... The next day, Rob still reeks of cocaine and other narcotics from the previous heist. It only gets worse as constant discriminative jokes are made during his time in prison.

"Your darker than a blackboard" and "I only see a shadow".

"Why did I surrender?" He asks himself while taking a shower to rid himself of the stench whilst attending to his appearance and facial needs.

Now, his conscience tells him that he did the right thing by surrendering, mostly by guilt and the other side doubts the whole thing altogether. So during his stay, Rob asks a prisoner pushing around a library cart to give him a paper and pencil.

"It's going to cost you," the 'librarian' states.

"Sure. Here, it's all I got." Rob ethically spares a few things from inside his pocket.

"This doesn't suffice to much... Nah it's alright, it's on the house. You know, you strike me as a smart fellow..." The prisoner leans in and whispers, "How are you planning on.. You know."

"What are you talking about?" Asks Rob.

"Don't you dare take me as a fool. You're busting me out whether you like it or not."

The next day, in the courtyard/the 'recess' for inmates.

The 'librarian' caught up to Rob and asked, "What's the plan?"

"Who can I pick a fight with in the cafeteria?"

"Why do you ask?"
"Just wait and see, simple."
"Alright, just fight me then. Lunch is in a couple of hours, land soft blows that seem impactful. One of us will pretend knock out unconscious."

"Consider it done but why?" Rob asks curiously.

"Oh, almost forgot, here's your school supplies" he says and then continues, "Don't lie to me, you better show up for the fight."

Rob nodded. The prisoners were then escorted back into their cells as he started sketching out a list concerning the people he should target on his own and the names he should give to the warden. Some names would be false like Oil rig, Igger, Peanut, and Farmer. At least, according to what the eye can see.

Rob doesn't know their actual names due to the fact that he wasn't properly introduced to the other members. Maybe, just maybe this will work to either give him an advantage or so the warden can ease up on him. He might as well make his stay enjoyable, right?

A/N= Yes, yes you should Rob although that doesn't change the fact that you're still a criminal and you are considered as scum and lower-class by most and you should be confined in a maximum security prison as opposed to the current setting.

Rob then started thinking about escaping, he then pushed it aside. He didn't have the guts to do that, or did he?

A/N= It's like from both 'Escape from Alcatraz' with Clint Eastwood and 'Prison Break' the TV show, both carving a hole behind a toilet. Anyway, stay tuned folks.
