Ace POV: 

It had been a couple months now since I was locked up and charged with what happened. My friends came to visit when they could. But lately I just started to question everything about me in my life. There was no reason for me to be alive at times. I paid for my schooling myself. I took care of myself when I was just a kid. I was an idiot that decided to join one of the most wanted gangs in the world. All I heard from people around me and what sounded like the news just talked about me. That's all I ever heard while being here. I heard nothing on the others since that day. I don't know if they escaped or got locked up. I wondered if they decided to leave when I surrendered myself to the cops and save themselves. I never really was given anything in here. Just a notebook that I would write in when I felt like it. I would always note down how I felt and what happened each day. There were some nights I would cry because of how my life was torn to pieces after what I did. When we were allowed out to each or go outside. I never let anybody near me and preferred to just stay in my prison cell. Nothing felt the way it used to be. I hated this feeling but I knew I had to accept it along with the rest of my life. I heard the guards say it was time for us to each. I chose not to leave my cell. I chose to stay in here. I didn't have the guts to ever show my face to anyone ever again. I couldn't even look my friends in the eyes when they would come to visit me. I heard someone talking to me but didn't really hear what they said. "I'm not hungry. Give my food to someone else that needs it more." I traced part of the wall to try and calm myself down. I heard footsteps go away suddenly. I was left alone with my own feelings and thoughts. It was quiet. Nobody else was in here. They were all in another part of the building going to eat.

?: "Who didn't get their food?"

?: "Cell 72-B. She said she wasn't hungry and to give it to someone else that needs it. I feel bad for the kid."

Ace: I laid on my bed silently crying so nobody would hear me. I wish I could get out but I was stuck here until I would die. I didn't know what to do with myself anymore. To me I felt like a fuck-up. I felt useless. I had no reason to go on anymore and no reason to even smile or be happy. All of that was gone. I shouldn't have ever joined them. They ruined my life for good. Sometimes I wondered how it would feel if I would die or never wake up anymore.

San POV: 

We all sat in the kitchen silently. We looked at the empty chair. It felt so weird without her here now. We would visit her when we got the chance. Every once and a while we would get a letter from her. It hurt all of us knowing she was stuck in a place she never wanted to be in. The others were never found yet. They all fled the place before more cops showed up. She gave herself up with no fight. Just walking into her room or by her room. It just felt so odd. Without our friend it felt like we lost ourselves. Just trapped in some type of nightmare that wouldn't end. I walked out of the kitchen and sat in the living room. I turned the tv on to see what was playing. There was some show on but it was cut the moment the words breaking news showed up on the screen. We all looked at each other. 

Breaking news: "Captain of the Pirate King has been captured after fleeing the scene of a break-in resulting in a shoot-out a few months back. The other fellow members have yet to be found or caught. This comes months after former criminal investigator by the name of Ace had been locked up for partaking in the crimes. They surrendered without a fight and accepted their fate. We advise people to take caution as there are three members that are still wanted and being looked for. We have word the Captain has been taken to a maximum security prison that he can't escape from. It's only a half hour away from the prison Ace is serving a life sentence at.  We are still getting updates as of now so more will be spoken at in the coming hours."

San: They had caught him. The leader of all of this. "He was arrested after months have gone by of our friend suffering because of him. I hope she's not suffering worse now because of what has just been said. I feel so bad for her."

Wooyoung: "Our own friend suffering because of him. They get him but she was charged with life. He should get the death sentence. She shouldn't have to be serving life because of him. He knows where she's at. She's not safe."

Yeosang: "The only thing we can do is hope she's going to be safe and taken care of."

Jongho: "They need to find the rest of them and make them suffer the consequences of their actions. They had her take the entire fall and blame so they could get themselves out of the way."

Ace: I heard banging on my cell but I didn't want to let the person get my attention. I heard the cell get opened and someone talking to me.

?: "You're being moved to another cell. Under protection by the Warden. You're not safe now. We have to move you to a safer location. Collect your belongings."

Ace: "Why am I being moved?"

?: "The captain of the pirate King has been captured and it a half hour away from this location where he's been locked up in. Take her belongings awhile to the cell."

Ace: I sat in the chair as they moved me. I was cuffed to the chair so I couldn't escape. But they knew I wouldn't fight them because I knew it would get me killed or stay here longer. Before I knew it I was in the new cell they had transported me to. I heard the door lock as I looked around the place. I set my stuff where I wanted it to be. They caught him but he knows where I'm located at. I knew my life was at risk. Maybe I would get what I wanted and that was to die so I could escape the suffering I felt. Maybe my time in the world will be over sooner than I thought it would be. I watched as the light went out. I laid on the bed and stayed quiet. There was no window in here. It was dark and felt cold but to me it was just normal now. I let my eyes close as sleep took over me. I didn't want to accept the world around me anymore. They would come looking for me and take me out after giving away what they did and what happened. They would kill me.
