That night i couldn't sleep- i mean who in my position would be able to. I knew they were planning on escaping that night- Ink had all the pieces. He now had the key to the nurses office which gave him access to the window which he could crawl out of and over the wall.

I was prepared to be sat awake all night, sitting on my small balcony, but by 8.10 the alarms could be heard.

I stood up as soon as they started, being on the other side of town i thought that i would be too far away to hear them, but they echoed all around the area. I saw neighbours exiting their houses and i heard dogs start to bark.

The alarm ment they had got out of their cells, whether that ment they were over the walls was an unanswered question.

Still, as i lowered myself back to my seat and began to continue pouring back over the drawings i had of Inks tattoos, i let myself breathe a sigh of relief. He was on his way out and hopefully he had Lincoln in tow.

INK

I was not happy when i figured out who snitched to Bellick, but i kept my mouth shut until we entered the tunnels. I told Tweener that now i didn't owe him anything, i hadn't told the others that he was the one who told Bellick about the plan so that he could get out of being bunked with Avocado and now he couldn't say i owed him one for getting him to steal back the watch i used to house a micro chip inside. I had used the keycard from Nika and the microchip to gain access to some guards tunnels, ones that i needed to get access to Lincoln.

Still, when i found out it was him, i made sure he knew that when we got over the walls he was on his own. He wasn't to tag along with Lincoln and i to escape, he had to find his own way.

But we did end up escaping, all of us except Sucres cousin and Westmoreland. Westmoreland died just before we climbed over the wall of the injury he sustained while fighting with Bellick. Bellick had through him against a coffee pot and it stabbed him in the ribs, deep. He had refused to get it checked out for fear of them asking questions. He just wanted to see his daughter, i promised him i would.

*Flashback*

I watch in anticipation as Lincoln crosses over the wall. I had come up with the plan a few months back. A wire hangs between the wall and the medical office, it's why i needed to convince Sara that i had diabetes in the first place- i had been going there regularly in order to have insulin, but it was a way for me to get close to her while also scoping out the exit area.

I had needed to wait for Lucas to bring me the key to Tancredis door, but when I had it she figured it out. I just about managed to place the keys on her desk before she called a search party. She had got the locks changed on her door, but that wasn't about to stop me from escaping.

I had convinced her to leave the door open, i think she had a crush on me or something, i wasn't sure, however I would be sure to leave her feelings out of discussion when telling Lucas about the whole thing. I didn't like her like that, i never did, however i could tell she was lonely and needed to love someone as her Father didn't love her.

It's sad really, when i think about it, but it was extremely extremely convenient for me.

Lincoln crouches on top of the wall as the next person climbs their way across- Tweener.

Just as I'm about to tell T-bag to cross, Westmoreland collapses to the floor.

C-note notices and goes to him as do i.

"You ok, old man?" He asks him as we both look at his pale complexion

He had gone down hill since we exited the tunnels and gone through the psych ward.

"No" he croaks out

He moves his arm out the way as i look at the blood seeping through his shirt

"It's just a few more steps, you can make it" I say as i try to urge him on

"Oh i could make it another foot, maybe two, but why? I just wanted to make sure my daughter knew i was there and you can do that" He says as he pulls in a laboured breath "You guys have got to get out of here, you've got families to see again. Micheal- after you get back to your mrs... please go and see my daughter. Tell her i love her-"

I glance at C-note

"I promise" I say

He visibly calms as he leans against the wall

"The money i wanted to give her... it's buried under a silo at the double K ranch, just outside Utah. There is plenty to split, the press was wrong, the government was embarrassed that i got away so they lessened the blow, but there is actually isn't just $1 million, there is $5 million down there" He says

I glance behind me and i see the greedy eyes of T-bag as he listens. I then look to C-note and i see him looking, worriedly, at me.

I stand, unsure what else to do and i push T-bag to leave after Sucre gets to the other side. We were running out of time and at this rate we weren't going to make it.

*Flashback over*

He was alive when we all got over the fence, bar one, but i knew he would be gone by now- now that we are hot footing it through the woods.

Sucres cousin fell as the wire snapped and was left to be captured by the guards, as the alarm went off, back at the prison.

Maybe if i wasn't so focused on getting Lincoln and i out of there i would be more torn up about the losses, but I couldn't afford to be, not when i knew Lucas was out their waiting for a family reunion that would now be delayed due to this $5,000,000 business.

But right now i was focusing on the task at hand, get into hiding and away from the police dogs on out trail. Away so that i could finally say my Brother was safe.
