My eyes flicker open and I groan as I sit up, it's dark, but not too dark too see.
I look around and see people sleeping on bunk beds, there are 4 bunk beds and the mattresses are taken except one, and I'm in a prison cell.
I look at my wrist and my watch is gone and my clothes are different, it is night time but I don't know how long till dawn.
"Hay" A man on one of the beds whispers to me and he sounds like his Scottish, I turn to him quickly and he sits up holding something in his hand.
"Where am I?" I ask, "your in prison, obviously... But not for long" he says as me pulls out a shank made of a nail file that has been sharpened and points it at me, and I move away from him slightly.
"Here, it's for you..." He says as he turns it around and faces the handle to me, I slowly reach in and grab it with my right hand.
"Who are you?" I ask, "I'm Angus" he replies as he reaches through the bars to pick the lock.
I hear a click and and Angus slowly pushes the cell door open, he walks up to the other people in my cell and wakes them up and we all leave the cell and walk down the hallway towards a stairwell with a guard standing by it, his facing away from us and Angus whispers to me, "Take him out!"
I sneak up behind the guard and stab him in the back of the head and he falls to the ground, and Angus grabs his gun.
"Good job" Angus says to me as he walks past me.
I follow him down the stairs until we reach the bottom floor.
All of a sudden an alarm goes of and lights start flashing, "Shit! They must have found the body! Quick, lets get the hell outta here before we get killed!" Angus says as we run into a room with a few guns on the table, not enough for all the inmates from my cell.
I grab a shot gun with a flashlight on it and I peek around the corner and see 6 guards running toward the room we are in, I breathe out and open fire on the guards and so do the other guys from my cell, one of the guys from my cell get shot but we keep fighting.
Once all the guards are dead, we leave the block we are in and run toward the main gate while shooting at other guards, Angus gets in one of the prison busses that have been armoured up like the car that crashed into my car.
I feel someone grab me from behind and I turn around quickly with my gun ready,
"Tommy!?" I yell as I lower my gun, "Jackson! I knew you were alive!" He says with a smile on his face, but then I hear the sound of a bullet tearing through flesh, Tommy's expression changed to fear and he collapses into my arms and I feel blood on my hand coming from the left side of his back.
I look him in the eyes "It's ok man it's ok, your gonna be fine, we are gonna get through this..." I say with tears in my eyes as I hold him, a tear falls down his face and he smiles weakly "Thank you..." He says as he closes his eyes and breathes his final breath.
"Tommy? , Tommy!" I yell as I shake him slightly and Angus grabs me and pulls me away from Tommy's body."c'mon! We have to go, now!" Angus yells as I pick up my gun.
I look in the direction of the shooter and see a bald man smiling as he holds a revolver, I look at him with anger, but I turn to the bus and run through the bus door and sit down as Angus drives it through the main gate and away from the prison as the sun shines on the horizon.
