Escaping the prison

Dave Panpa's work life was pretty good.

He had been working a stable job as a police officer/prison guard, got paid decently well, and the best part, got to work alongside his best friend, Rupert price.

Rupert and him had been pretty close ever since they were kids. He was a pretty shy child, and was usually a target of bullying by some of the tougher kids in school, but after he met Rupert, who was one of, if not the toughest, he was never bullied again. Over time the two became close friends, and have been ever since.

Nowadays, the two were still best friends, and were happy that they finally got to work together after having had different jobs for so long.

Dave loved hanging around Rupert. No, not just that, he loved Rupert, No point trying to hide it.

He loved everything about him, from his thick black hair, to his snarky yet funny attitude, to his adorable cockney accent, to the fact that he seemingly had a soft spot for Dave himself.

Whenever they were around other people, he was the same sassy guy everyone knew, but when it was just the two of them, he was a lot more laid back, showing he was more comfortable. It just made Dave feel all mushy inside.

Dave was happy, and he never wanted to leave Rupert's side.

But, then everything changed when one day, a box appeared out of nowhere.

Dave was walking through the lobby, when he noticed it on the floor.

"Oh, a package, huh?" He picks it up, reading the name. Henry Stickmin. Ah yes, the guy that tried to break into a bank by disguising himself as a money bag.

"Oi Dave!" Rupert calls from the hallway.

Dave turns around, smiling. "Yep!" He walks toward him. "I've got a package here for someone named Henry."

Rupert smiles. "I love delivering packages."

They walk together towards the cell, when Rupert gets an idea. "Oh, Dave, watch this." he whispers.

They get to the cell, where Henry was chillaxing.

"Oi, you!" Rupert calls, causing him to look up.

"You're free to go."

Henry smiles, looking happy.

Rupert laughs. "Not really."

Henry looks done.

"But you've got a package." Rupert says as he opens the slot on the doors for Dave to slide it through.

Henry looks at it, curious.

"Don't get your hopes up, we've already checked it for anything useful." he says, glancing to Dave. "Haven't we, Dave?"

Dave goes cold as he realizes he'd forgotten to check it.

"What? I, uh, yeah, of course I checked it!" he says quickly, nervously looking to the side. "I mean if i didn't, I'd lose my job, and I don't wanna lose my job!" he says, nervously smiling and giggling.

Rupert looks a bit suspicious, but shakes it off, turning back to henry. "See ya round."

He and Dave walk down the hall, he gently elbows Dave's chest. "'Free to go', pretty good one right?" he says, laughing that snarky laugh Dave adores oh-so much.

He smiles. "Yeah, pretty good." he says, looking at him fondly.

Suddenly, they hear clanking metal behind them.
