2023-12-05 19:19:27Helena replied before Jones could utter a word.
“I won't… Remember I detest Melvin and I never called you nor him abductors. Are we good?”
“You didn't call us abductors? Whatever, but you don't trust us.” Daniel said.
“Yes… I don't trust you, but I trust your weird friend.” Helena stated.
“Weird friend?” Daniel chuckled and added, “Why not just tell him you like him.”
“You say shit a lot. You know that, right?” She retaliated.
“I might not be as smart as him, but I know love when I see one. You like him, and you're just trying to---” Jones cuts in instantly,
“Danny!!!”
“Hey!! You... I told you to leave. So leave.” Jones added, staring at her furiously.
She just stared at him lustfully and didn't know when he complimented him. “You have a nice voice.”
“I said it.” Daniel blasted.
“No… That's not what I meant. I mean, whatever…" She sighed in exasperation and hurriedly left the warehouse.
Daniel was about bringing up Helena up, but Jones' demeanor were all against that, and so he complied.
Jones slid a chair and sat close to Daniel, enlightening him about the whole plan and what role Alan would be playing again.
“Alan can't do that.” Daniel said, keeping his face in a way that depicts neutral sentiment but was heavy laden with a mild irritation.
“Alan once worked for Melvin before I hired him. He knows so much about his movement and things I don't even know.” Jones admitted.
“So… Who's going to intercept Melvin and his guys? From your plans, we can't be in two places.” Jones giggled when he was done talking.
“Not you. I have a plan for that, and the less you know….” Daniel cuts in instantly,
“Don't tell me that… I need to know.”
“Then watch.” Jones said, as he brought out his cellphone and searched his contact for Young Wiz.
“Young Wiz?” Daniel was waiting for an explanation.
“I said watch. Not questions.” Jones said as the receiver answered via the cellphone,
“Hello Jones. How are you doing?”
“I need you to save someone.” Jones said, ignoring the damn pleasantries.
“Is it a command or a request?” Scott Walton asked.
“It's a command.” Jones said without even smiling.
“Just because you saved me from Melvin's gunshots doesn't make me your servant. I work for the government. Not you, let that sink in.” Scott sounded a little bit harsh with that. He had always been rude to Jones for personal reasons.
“And you were unable to take down Melvin, even until now. It's a shame!” Jones shammed.
“This conversation is over!” He said, and he actually meant it because from the way he sounded, there was nothing Jones could say that would calm him down and Jones never intended to apologize to pacify what he said.
“Are you pained?” Jones said making jest of him.
“Pained? Pained for what. For the fact I refused to be your menial or what?” Scott yelled out. “Goodbye Jones.”
“What if I give you Melvin's location?” Jones asked, he was purposely playing with him. Jones knew Scott didn't like him from the onset of things.
“Huh?” Scott's voice was back to normal. “What's your catch, then. What did you get in return.”
“I'm not that egoistic as you think. Well, you get your Ex- wife in return.” Jones said with a smile extended all over his face.
“Which one?” He asked, sounding confused.
“Now I see why she left you.” Jones sounded mockingly.
“You're a kid who knows nothing about marriage and since you haven't tasted it… And, well… I don't even think you'll ever taste it.” Scott said, trying to retaliate.
Jones was just twenty-six years old, making Scott to be three years older. But that doesn't change the fact, Jones was smarter.
“Quite the charade, please. You promise to rescue Kent. I give you Melvin's location. We have a deal?” Jones proposed.
“I have saved people I don't even know. And Kent was my Ex- wife, that makes it easier.”
“We have a deal?” Jones pressed on.
“No… You don't tell me what to do. What gave you the courage to talk to me like that.” He was already pissing off with Jones' attitude of being the boss in everything.
“I will hang up this call and the very minute I do that, the secrets that can take away your FBI badge will be aired. I promise you that.” The seriousness in Jones' voice only should be convincing of how he sounded.
Scott was quiet for a few seconds. Confusion was his latest endeavor. But he couldn't show Jones how weak he was.
“You done ranting?” Scott said with a confidence betraying the actual fear in him.
“Deceased Assistant Director Eddie Stapleton of the FBI counterterrorism Division. Special agent Ryan Lewis and…" Jones didn't finish before he interrupted.
“Fine…” He yelled with a broken voice.
“I know your secrets. So we have a deal?” Jones seriousness was at its peak.
“Yeah. What's the location.” Scott, with a calm voice, showing exactly the weakness he doesn't love seeing.
“Good. This is what you've to do.” Jones went on to enlighten him about the whole plan before he hung up. Daniel gave Jones an enthusiastic applaud, saying,
“You outsmart him. That was… " He continued cheering him up with clapping.
“That's enough now.”
“The government is corrupt, with secrets they might kill for.” Daniel said waiting for Jones' reply to fuel the conversation. Well, that didn't happen. He went on with another strategy that worked perfectly.
“Who's Kent.” Jones didn't reply, just a long stare. He finally started by saying, “Kent is the same person you know as Holly Minard.” He told Daniel everything he needs to know.
Jones values Daniel's loyalty above his muscular body. There's no regrets about how much Jones had to say to him. He trusted him with almost everything.
“So, what's the next plan.” Daniel demanded to know more.
“Here's the plan…”

Matched Rivalry
Jones' eyes widened when he saw Jason unleashing a gun, with his hand on the trigger guard already. And in a split second, a whip-crack sound exploded out of the barrel.“Jones!!!!!!” Kenny yelled at the top of his voice when he saw Jones pacing towards Jason, immediately the gun was fired.Coming to the realization that the gun shot he heard was fired towards Kenny. He quickly lunged at Jason.They both crashed to the ground together, rolled together through the wet, dirt, and the thorns and the broken branches, tearing and punching and growling at each other. A large tree root hit Jones in the head, making his ears to ring. Jones got more advantageous with the punches as they rolled down the broken branches.Jason was looking rashly for his pocket gun but couldn't remember where it had fallen. Another resounding punch came from Jones and he couldn't block it.Jason held him as he rolled, making Jones to roll on alongside. They rolled down the hill, the world flipping and flipping
Quietus
J-kill and Paul ran into an unknown direction, paving through the dense forest. As they stormed through the forest, it morphed into a large open space, cluttered with rocks of different sizes. Paul had no idea about where they were headed, he just had to follow J-kill like a puppet.“Com'on, we're getting close.” J-kill beckoned and started running towards an unpaved road surfaced with gravel. The more they get closer, the more a noticeable grin masked Paul's face. For more than three years, he had never felt such a tender joy.“Is that it?” Paul asked when they stopped running.“Yes! That's our way out. We're out of this forest. Woah,” J-kill yelled.With Paul's eyebrows scrunched up, he asked, “you know about this escape route all these while?”“I think I do, I just don't remember the way. I had to think.” He answered and walked briskly towards the gravel road. They wandered through the road, though J-kill wasn't feeling hopeful, Paul was consumed with zestfulness, that he was fina
Dreadful Confrontation
“This is FBI, you're completely surrounded, Surrender now!” Came a voice from a megaphone as they close on Jones and the rest of the prisoners, who were still alive. They didn't expect everything to turn out this way, the deaths and everything happening was never close to what Jones planned.Jones and the escaped prisoners were taking cover with the stolen car, while the FBI agents were closing on them from both side. If they should keep running at the open space that lead to the forest, there's a high chance they won't make it there without getting shot.And there is no other option better than surrendering, and Jones wasn't ready to go back to prison. If they are caught as it seems like, they might not get thrown into Atlad prison again. What fate awaits them?“Does that mean, I will be thrown into the same prison as my brother? Is he even in any prison? Why is it not known to public! Dammit,” Jones doesn't know what to believe anymore. He was having mixed feelings and feeling bad w
Got Found
A Boeing 747 flew over and landed safely on the helipad. The cool mist splashed Melvin Otani's face as he walked out through the door of the jumbo jet.The roaring sound of the jet engine rushed through his ear as the door to the plane shoved open.Hundreds of men in suits fell into a line immediately the door of the jet was open, they had a badge attached to their suit.The badge on their suit was an indication of loyalty to Melvin Otani. Once the loyalty of a recruit is perceived to be without pretense and remorse, they are accepted to serve.While they were anticipating his presence, Joan and five burly men, stepped out. Melvin was behind them, walking in a lordly manner as usual.The whole building, attached to the helipad, was owned by Melvin Otani and no intruder has been able to invade the location. Even the government still doesn't have any idea about Melvin's movement. He comes into the country and leave like the ghost he was. The walking living ghost as known by everyone.“W
The Bounty
Melody briskly walked out of the brick building. It was an old building that had an undeniable serenity. The fusty nosegay of age and quietness embraced her as she walked through the environment.There were drawings imprinted on the walls of the building, but they all seemed to have faded away along the design layers.Despite its deteriorated state, the whole building and the environment had the peace the other world craved.“Hey Melody,” Ramon waved at her and walked towards her.“How's your man, uhm…Chris?” She asked without staring at him. She felt bad and didn't like how she was feeling despite being in a safe place. She tried comforting herself that all seemed to be fine, but she was merely betraying her true feelings.“Oh, Yeah, he's getting better.” He exhaled heavily, before throwing the question he had always wanted to ask since they got the news about Jones escaping. “Why did Jones hire you as his lawyer?”She hiked her head up and stared in surprised at him. She never expec
The Stolen Car
Jones and the other escaped prisoners were still running at a fast pace through the woods. They are tired, sweaty and breathing heavily. “I knew it. I knew it will get to this. Everything is just fucked up.” Kenny said, slowing down his pace.“I never wanted to join the escape. I—I… I really don't want any of this.” Kenny stammered, trying to catch his breath. He was clearly close to despair. With that, Jones and the other prisoners stopped running.“How long are we going to keep running?” Paul asked out of frustration.Everyone was tired and frustrated. They trusted Jones' plan, but it seemed like everything was going south. They got found before, and they believe the police will find them again if they don't get out of the woods now.Jones had to deploy a new escape plan the very moment he found out that his brother was not in Atlad prison. So his former plan had a means of getting them out of the woods with ease, but since they weren't using his initial plan, it was going to be d
Teaming Up
Detective Jason stood with a group of armed police officers at the edge of the forest. Armored cars and patrol cars were parked everywhere. Forensics roamed around with files.“Here's all we found.” One of the forensics said and handed over a document to Jason. He took the document with the stacks of photos of the escaped prisoners. He first looked at a photo of Jones' face, trailing it down to his body.“An Architect, right?” He asked and Officer Alex, who was beside him, nodded affirmatively.“Why is the occupation showing unemployed? He is supposed to be working for different companies and such people ain't expect to take bad turns accidentally. Hmmm,” He peered through his sunglasses at a photo of Jones' body tentatively. After staring for long and getting no glimpse of anything, he sighed and ordered the FBI unit to set a perimeter, so that Jones and the other prisoners couldn't elude the arrest, since he believed they were still in the forest.During his drive to his office, a
Most Wanted Men
The Warden paced forth and back in his office, thinking frantically about what to do, while Officer Alex just stood there with his brown eyes peering down in a confused state. “Do you have any idea of the consequences of what you've done?” The Warden spoke out, but still walking around, looking confused as well.He just couldn't control all that was happening. He felt gullible, trusting that silky voice of Jones and falling prey to his plans.“I thought you were to be trusted. What happened to all the trust I had in you? The faith, everything I have taught you all these years we've been working together.” He added, breathe out heavily and finally took his seat.“Sir Aaron, I didn't…" Officer Alex was interrupted before he could even utter the next word.“Don't address me by my name. Address me like everyone else, you've lost the trust. So don't ever!!” Warden Aaron said with his forefinger gesturing a no.“Sir… Sorry, Warden,” Alex paused for a while, “I didn't do it. I will never a
Forever Running?
The inmates flee through the woods speedily as the cool breeze brushed their faces. They were able to see clearly now, since the sun was just starting to rise, but not fully set.Jones pushes branches of trees that were covered with dew as they made their way through the huge forest. His cheeks were already red as a result from the exertion, and his blue prison suit was soaked with sweat and water from the trees.From the way they were panting, it was obvious they had been running for hours, and they didn't even stop for a moment despite there was a need to.The prison guards didn't stop chasing them, so they had the chance of resting. They kept tracking them with the use of dogs, and dogs barking always raised an awareness of the guards' proximity to them. They seem to be on the trail of the escaped prisoners. “Come on! Jones,” Kenny gasped to Paul, who paused to catch his breath. He was so exhausted, but he had to keep running if he wanted to escape. He took to his feet and joined
