Breaking Point

Prologue

James' POV:

I was sitting down in a corner in my prison cell. It's been a month since I've been here. I can't believe Autumn locked me up here. It really gets depressing here, mainly because it's just me inside one cell. It's been two months since I've been here, and it still feels the same.

The cell was just 10 feet on all dimensions. There was a reinforced steel door to my cell since I'm in solitary confinement. The walls are just bricks an

"When I get out of here, I swear..." I told myself.

I still have my grudges against Autumn for stealing Elizabeth from me. I'll kill them both if I have to. I just want to get out of here, but there's a whole group of guards around me at all times.

Then I heard gunfire outside my cell. I was surprised to hear a gunfire exchange in the prison. I wonder what's going on out there. I can hear the prison guards panicking.

"How many men have we lost?"

"I dunno, I think too many!"

"We only got a few of them!"

"Should we call for backup?"

"Yeah, just go- Ah!"

Then I heard a guard pleading for his life.

"Please don't kill me! I-I have a girlfriend and I don't want her to--"

I heard a gunshot and all fell silent for a little while. Then, I heard some talking.

"Is this the cell?"

"It sure looks like it, get the charges!"

"Yes, sir!"

Then the people outside called out to me.

"Hey, whoever's in there! Get back!"

"Got it!" I called back.

I heard something stick to the door. I should do what they say and get a far from the door as possible. I braced myself for what was about to happen.

The door blew open and the metal door almost hit me, but it hit the part of the wall next to me. I then looked at the people from the outside.

They were wearing a black military-like uniform. All of them were wearing black scarves to cover their faces, so that only their eyes are the only thing you can see on their face. One of them was wearing a white mask, with a red cape.

Their weapons were military weapons; assault rifles, standard issue pistols, military equipment like explosive charges, grenades.

I was confused as to who they are and why they broke me out of my cell.

"Who are you?" I asked.

Then the one wearing the white mask stepped forward. He removed it and he revealed his face. He had brown hair, pale skin and his eyes were different colors; his left eye was blue while his right eye was dark gray.

"Who I am doesn't matter." the person spoke, but he talked to me without opening his mouth, like he talked to me in my mind. "I know who you are."

"W-What?" I asked, a bit skeptical.

"James Green, you used to have a girlfriend named Elizabeth Davis but the detective, Autumn Sanders stole her from you." the person spoke.

I was amazed that he knows my situation.

"Why did you want to get me out?" I asked him.

"Well, I think you can help me with something, and I can help you with your... situation." the person spoke. "But I'll let you get your revenge on the detective first."

"How about it?" the person asked me and held out his hand. "Do we have a deal?"

I don't trust him at all but... he wants me to get my revenge on Autumn. If he can get me that, then I wouldn't mind some people watching my back.

"Alright, I'm all in." I replied and I shook his hand.

"Perfect." he commented. "First, we'll start by--"

"Sir! We have the warden hostage!" a grunt called out.

"Well, we better not keep the warden waiting." the person told me and he put his mask back on.

He motioned me to follow him to the warden's office. I saw that the prison is scattered with the bodies of the prison guards, riddled with gunshots. I followed the person to the warden's office.

I got to the warden's office, and I saw that three grunts were pointing their guns at the warden, who had his hands up. There were two guards killed in the office too.

"Wha? J-James? How did you get out?" the warden asked.

The person then smacked the warden across the face, with his pistol. Then the person handed me the pistol.

"Consider this wisely..." he told me in my mind.

I took the gun and the warden started to plead with me.

"J-James, don't do this! You have no idea what you're doing here!" the warden told me.

I pointed the gun to his head and I looked him in the eye.

"I know what I'm doing." I told him. "I'm getting my revenge."

I pulled the trigger and it killed the warden. He dropped to the floor and the person clapped for me.

"A wise choice." he told me in my mind.

"Now, shall we begin?" he asked me.

"We shall." I replied.

I then noticed a camera pointed at us. I assumed that someone was watching me, probably Autumn, so I'd like to send a message. I looked directly at the camera and I spoke.

"Autumn, I know you're there. I'm coming for you." I said to the camera and I shot the camera.

"I'll lead you to her neighbourhood." I told them and they followed me.

Third Person POV:

Meanwhile, Autumn was watching the security footage on her television. She was surprised that James had escaped with a military-based group.

"I got to alert the force about this." Autumn decided.
