Prison Busters 1

Chapter I

It was a hot sunny day in the Arizona desert, it was lunch time when the prison bus rolled in. Five men, Chris, Rob, Ed, James and Jean stepped out, they had a head count and were searched, not that they had been searched a million times before. The prisoners all dreaded life in the cells. Chris and James had been in prison before so they had a slight edge, but this time they were doing double time. Nothing could prepare them though, constant bullying and attacks were expected, but the cops would only get involved if someone was getting killed...

 After their search they were handed a ham sandwich and a stale cookie which they all grudgingly accepted. They were led into their cells made up of six beds in a row, each had a locker next to it with a padlock. Facing the beds was a high rail on a raised area designed for the cops to do quick checks on the prisoners. At the end of the rail was a weapons cupboard with pepper spray and other projectile shooting items.

Lunch break was almost over when they stepped outside. There were cops watching through binoculars standing behind rails similar to the ones in the cell blocks. Rob and Ed stood together not sure what to do.

"So, how do you get here?" Ed asked.

"In a bus" Rob replied thickly.

"Nooo , what did you do to get here." Ed sighed."cos I busted up an officer who caught me stealing from a jewellers.."

"Oh I ran over a homeless lady in the middle of the road." James exclaimed.

A whistle blew for the end of lunch break. But it was apparently not over as a gang of skinheads walked up to them and...

"What are you here for!" The leader boomed... 

"Uhh we are cos we stole from the damn candy store!" Ed replied sarcastically."No course we didn't we are here cos we are criminals like you, committing crimes."

The leader looked offended.

"well y'know what I did." The leader looked proud." ALMOST assassinated the president. I'm not like you with your petty little crimes that aren't worth doing, am I. HUH. ANSWER ME, 'Your better than me' SAY it... Or il break EVERY bone in your body."

"GET... OVER... IT..."Ed said.

"You're not worth squat anymore kid.."
