The Old Man's Secret
By midday, Luke had learned more about Blackgate than he had during the previous evening.There were no official shops, but almost everything could be purchased.Some prisoners controlled food distribution, others handled medicine and restricted items, a few operated information networks, collecting details about inmates, guards, and outside events.Money was useful, but it wasn't everything.A prisoner could have millions waiting outside and still be powerless if nobody inside respected him, Luke found that particularly interesting.Influence was not always connected to physical strength, sometimes it came from controlling what other people needed.He was examining a group exchanging cigarettes when someone blocked his path."You're the new guy."Luke looked up.A large prisoner stood before him, he was bald, heavily built, and wore a sleeveless shirt that revealed thick arms covered in scars."Yes.""Name's Briggs."Luke waited. Briggs pointed
The Rules Of Survival
The screaming continued for several minutes.Luke sat upright on his bed, listening, It wasn't the first time he's heard someone scream in pain. During his military service, he had witnessed men suffer injuries that would haunt them for the rest of their lives.But this was different.There was something unsettling about hearing it inside a prison where nobody seemed willing to intervene."Go back to sleep, young lad."Ezekiel's voice came from the lower bed.Luke looked down."Do you know what's happening, old man?""Probably.""Probably?"The old man turned over."People get hurt here every night. You'll get used to it."Luke remained seated."Shouldn't someone call the guards?"Ezekiel laughed quietly."Call them for what? These is Blackgate, lad.""But someone is being attacked.""And?"Luke stared at him.Ezekiel opened one eye."Listen carefully. There are three kinds of people in Blackgate. Those who hurt others, tho
The King's Of Blackgate
His cell was located near the end of Block C.The guard unlocked the door."You're here."Luke stepped inside.The cell was small but clean. Two metal beds stood against opposite walls, with a narrow table between them and a toilet separated by a low partition.An elderly man sat on the lower bed, he had grey hair, a lean frame, and a worn face. His prison uniform looked older than Luke's, and a thick book rested on his lap.The man didn't look up."New roommate?" he asked."Apparently.""Name?""Luke Callas."The old man turned a page."Ezekiel Graves."Luke placed his mattress on the empty upper bed."How long have you been here?""Long enough."Luke glanced at him."That's not an answer."Ezekiel chuckled."You're right. But it is the only one you're getting."Luke examined the room."Are you alone in this cell?""Not anymore."There was something unusual about the old man.He spoke calmly, almost lazily, but
Welcome To Blackgate
The transport vehicle came to a stop, Luke raised his head.For the past four hours, he has been sitting inside a cramped compartment with six other prisoners. His hands were cuffed, his ankles chained, and a thick metal barrier separated them from the armed guards.Nobody had the strength to speak much during the journey, as each carried his own burden with him.But now, something had changed, he could hear the heavy rumbling of machinery outside, a moment later, the rear doors opened."Everybody out!"A guard stepped inside, holding a rifle.Luke stood with the others and stepped down, the first thing he noticed was the wall, It was enormous.Thick concrete stretched across the landscape, rising so high that he had to tilt his head to see the watchtowers above it. Electric fences ran along the upper sections, while armed guards watched from behind reinforced windows.There were no ordinary prison buildings in sight, only concrete, steel, surveillance equi
The Road To Blackgate
She placed the document on the table."This is a copy of the financial records from his company. I believe they're connected to what happened."Luke looked at the document carefully, It was one of the reports Daniel had been investigating. He slowly raised his head."Where did you get these?"Victoria said nothing, Luke's expression changed, He understood something then, this wasn't a misunderstanding, it wasn't a mistake either—Victoria has been involved from the very beginning.The woman standing before him had helped destroy his life, and she knew exactly what she was doing, and still he had no clue as to the reason behind it all.---Three Weeks Later.The courtroom was filled with journalists, legal representatives, military officials, and members of the public.Luke stood inside the defendant's enclosure, he had lost weight, his beard had grown slightly longer, and the expensive suits he once wore had been replaced by prison-issued clothing.His lawyer had spent weeks challengin
The Face Of Betrayal
Luke slowly turned."Dead?""Yes, sir. He was found in his residence this morning."For a moment, everything around Luke seemed to become distant, first his father, and now General Hayes. Two people he knew personally, both dead within hours."Daniel, what's happening?" Tears welled up in his eyes, but he refused to let them fall, by his side his knuckle was already turning white."I don't know, sir. But there's something else."Luke closed his eyes briefly, wishing all these was nothing but a nightmare, unfortunately it wasn't."Go ahead.""The police have issued an internal notice connecting you to the general's murder."Luke's mouth fell, the shock in his eyes could not be hidden."What?""They're looking for you, Sir."Luke looked towards the police officers standing outside his father's residence, suddenly, several of them began moving in his direction."Daniel, listen carefully, all these is the handwork of someone. Someone is setting me up.""Sir—""I don't know who it is yet,
