        “Hey John, so you’re back in the game huh?” Victoria said as she sat down beside John who was soldering a few things. She looked at the papers, and also saw the notebook from Old Man Ringo. John was building the time machine which he dreamed of for a very long time.

        “Yeah. I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep for a few days. Thanks to Ringo’s notebook I can finally finish this” John said, as he is now hammering some metal plates together. The small metallic contraption was only a frame. Victoria quickly approached John and wiped of his sweat. John was sleepy but he wasn’t tired. He was determined to finish the time machine’s framework.

        In the prison cell of Paul, he was talking to a fellow inmate, Enrique.

        “I told you Paul, you will still be caught no matter what you do” Enrique said as he was talking to Paul, who was sitting beside him.

        “Look here Enrique, I will not rest until I avenge my father, and also avenge myself for because of him I am in prison” Paul said as he clutched his fist.

        “But he is a really great guy” Enrique argued.

        “So was my father, and now he is dead” Paul said furiously.

        “How can you even do that if you are behind bars?” Enrique asked curiously.

        “Tonight, we will escape. Some of my boys will be waiting outside. I already have a plan” Paul said as he mischievously looked at Enrique.

        “You will never get away with this Paul. John is a good man. I feel happy that my Victoria is now with a better man” Enrique said.

        “Suit yourself” Paul said as he stood up and left for lunch.

        That night, silence filled every corridor inside the prison, when suddenly a small light was seen. After that the small fire dropped unto a ground which trailed towards every cell except for Paul’s. There was a gas leakage on the floor. Everyone was awoken to the fire alarms. The guards then tried opening their cell cages to avoid them being burned to death. One of the guards, which was trying to open the cell cage of Paul and Enrique, suddenly fell to the ground because of some gunshots. About five masked thugs who were armed with shot guns killed all the guards. One of these thugs gave Paul a pistol. Then when Paul was outside, he looked at Enrique and asked:

        “Final offer Enrique, help me kill John or stay here?” Paul asked Enrique.

        “You know these boys were my thugs?” Enrique said as he pointed at the thugs.        

        “Yeah. They were, but now they are mine” Paul said.

        “Keep them. I am staying here with my other cell mates” Enrique said.

        “Good bye Enrique” Paul said as he raised his pistol and shot Enrique through the eyes. Every cell, there was a screaming man. They wanted their cages to be opened to escape being roasted alive. Paul quickly shot at the locks of the gate. After all the prisoners had escaped from their cages, Paul and the other thugs ran a different way outside. They escaped through the window. The other prisoners who were running away were razed down with bullets from the police guard’s bullets. They were only rubber bullets so they just fell asleep. Meanwhile outside, Paul rode into the car which was waiting for him.

        “Let us say good bye to this joint” Paul said as he pressed on a button. The whole prison exploded, starting from the walls to the ceilings. As the black car went further and further away, the prison became a funeral pyre for prisoners and guards alike.
