Innocent (Lams prison au)

29

Thomas watched from the main security room as Conway, Reynolds and Adams slipped through staff quarters stealthily, tranquilising officers and moving their bodies under their desks quietly. He leaned back in his seat and kicked his feet up on the control board, his eyes lazily flicking between the screens. He noticed John begin to slip out of his cell block on one screen and sat up swiftly, clicking on his ear piece.

"Laurens is headed your way, get back to your marks boys," he muttered, then proceeding to turn and check for Levi's current position.

Behind him flustered but muffled shouts were heard from Peggy and Dolley, both tied up and gagged at the back of the room.
"Would you shut up?" Jefferson spat before turning his focus back to the screens.
How had a day spent on a blind date Eliza had set up resulted in her being held captive at the back of the security room? Peggy groaned and turned to Dolley, using her eyes and brows to communicate their course of action. Dolley nodded quickly and ever so carefully slipped behind Peggy with their backs to each other, beginning to fiddle with each other's cuffs. Their attention was snapped else where quickly though.

Jefferson had flicked on the sound for one of the screens and suddenly static was echoing softly through the room, followed by hurried footsteps as John jogged onto the screen. The girls watched with wide eyes, Peggy managing to spit out her fabric gag, as he swung his head side to side, a scared expression painted across his features.
"HELLO?" His muffled voice called out desperately. Peggy bit her lip nervously, dying to just reach through the screen and save him. "PEGGY?" That made Peggy's stomach flip and she became even more antsy to escape. John needed her, he was relying on her. She felt tears prickle her eyes when she saw Levi creeping and crawling through the hallway towards John's voice on another screen. Not today you spider bitch.

"I'm distracting, you know what to do," she whispered under her breath to Dolley. Dolley nodded and began to ever so carefully shuffle around the edges of the room.
Peggy ignored trying to get out of the cuffs and just decided to go for it, pushing herself up to her feet cautiously but standing with purpose once she was up. Jefferson still had his back to her in his seat as she advanced forward, sneaking up slowly before kicking her leg up and tucking it around Jefferson's neck, bringing her leg back down and throwing him into the floor. Jefferson came crashing off his chair with a firm thud and yelped, thrashing and jumping up to his feet. Peggy jumped, using her arms like a skipping rope and swinging them under her legs to bring them in front of her.
"Let's dance pretty boy," she growled, raising her attached fists and shifting her weight ready to dodge.

Jefferson resisted the urge to laugh at her as he crossed his arms.
"As if you could-" he began to smirk before Peggy surged forward and sent a sharp jab with both fists to his stomach. As he doubled over and stumbled back she travelled with him, spinning and slamming her elbow into his nose. Jefferson groaned, hunched over while Peggy never let her guard drop.
"I call this move, ngh revenge!" She swung her fists up in two-fisted uppercut motion, catching under his jaw and whipping his head backwards, slamming him into the control panel. Jefferson hitting the panel switched on the audio for another screen again, and Peggy's eyes darted up when she heard Alex screaming over the speakers.
"JOHN!"

Alex's cell door shook as he was pounding and kicking at it wildly, Peggy's jaw hanging slack in shock-horror as John was dragged off screen, thrashing but unable to make a sound with the bag held over his face blocking his airways.
"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HIM! JOHN! SOMEBODY HELP!" Alex's voice called out again.
"Dolley!" Peggy called out nervously, her attention being thrown back to Jefferson as he clutched his bleeding nose.
"Bitch!" He roared, pushing off the control panel and launching himself at her. She squeaked in surprise as he pushed her forward, slamming her into the ground. He held her down and wrapped his hands around her neck, squeezing ever so gently.
