Enemies With The Shadows

Chapter Twenty-Four - Escape.

"Slime and I can’t possibly be enough, Mark.” Alexis stated, walking with Mark. “Even with yourself!”
“I know.” Mark said. “That’s why I’m getting other help.”
“From who.”
“You’ll see.”
“Mark..?” Alexis stopped. “Why are we outside of the prison?”
“Stay out here. I’ll be right back.”

Mark walked to Sam’s office, knocking on the door then stepping in. “Hey Sam!” Mark waved.
“Oh, Mark!” Sam looked up from his papers, smiling at Mark. “What’s up?”
“Could I visit someone?”
“Who are you trying to visit?”
“Clay.” That caused Sam to pause. He was extremely confused. “I know I know.” Mark started.
“You want to visit Clay?” Sam asked.
“I do. I wanted to catch him up on some things, you know?”
“Like….?”
“How his sister is doing and all that.” Mark said. Sam sighed. He didn’t really want to let Mark visit for safety reasons, but it seemed innocent. “Please Sam?” Mark pleaded.
“Fine fine. But a short visit.”
“Okay okay. Thank you!”

Mark sat in the visitation room, having waited a while. Finally, he saw Clay approaching on the other side of the glass. As Clay sat down and grabbed the little phone, he glared at Mark. “This better be a fucking apology.” Clay hissed.
“Better than that!” Mark said enthusiastically.
“How could it be be-”
“Escape.” Mark interrupted. “For you and Luke.”
“Escape?” Clay raised an eyebrow, leaning towards the glass a bit. “How?”
“Easy. You’ll see how in a second. On one condition.”
“And what would that condition be?”
“I’m going to need your help and Luke’s help. Toby and Tommy know. They’ve tried to tell Sam.”
“You need our help going against them?” Clay asked.
“Exactly. And you and Luke get freedom in return.” Mark said, leaning back a bit. “So, do we have a deal?”
