Jailbird

Jailbird ~ Chapter 4

I known I haven't updated this in like a million years, to be honest, I forgot about it for a long time. I'll try and update more, but I'm in college now so things are a little crazy.

*flashback* rap rap rap rap rap rap "POLICE, OPEN UP. WE KNOW YOU'RE THERE, GREEN." Panic set in immediately. Why? What was I being arrested for? My baby girl, Sophie was crying and so was my wife. I took a step towards the door when, suddenly, a loud crash came from the other side and it burst open. I felt a pain in my shoulder like nothing I've felt before. It radiated from my fingertips to my chin, and I blacked out. Upon waking up, I found myself in the back of an ambulance. I would later find out that the bastards shot me because I "wasn't complying". Bullshit. I tried to sit up, to figure out where I was, but the pain and loss of blood was too much, and the surrounding sights faded to black again...

I sat, bolt upright in a cold sweat. It happened again, this is the third night in a row. I need to see my family. Why hasn't Anne tried to visit me? How long will I have to wait before I can see my baby again? How old would she be now? Does she look like me, or her mother? As I thought, I felt my chest tighten and my heart race. No, not again. My lungs burned as thought they were swimming in acid, and the room was spinning...

*continuation of flashback* I awoke to find myself on a hard metal table and my shoulder was bloody and sore. There were blurred outlines of people leaning over me, blacked out by the blinding white light above them. "He's awake, we need more sedation!" I felt a jolt of movement in my shoulder and shooting pain. A cloth, stained brown with age, and red-brown in places, was held over my mouth and nose yet again. I didn't want to think about what those spots were. The scent of chemicals and old cloth filled my nose and lungs. The room began to spin slowly, and I lost consciousness again...

Fuck them. Fuck the police, fuck the government, fuck whoever accused me of this fucking murder! I got shot, I've lost my family, my house. She's going to grow up without her father. I'll find whoever caused this and I will ruin them the way they ruined me and my family.
