Chapter 1: Busting Out*
Joe sat in his lonely prison cell, with nothing around him but darkness. After he was busted for drug-dealing, he was given 10 years in prison. He hated prison, he hated the work, but most of all, he hated the ones who got him here.
Alex Robin (A robin), Max Quintel (A blue jay) and Cameron Zachary (A human). Those three 13 year olds have driven Joe to the point of breaking his sense. They had however, stopped him from killing Alex's older sister Margaret Robin, who was once Joe's girlfriend. Margaret was now in love with a blue jay called Mordecai Quintel, Max's older brother. Joe hated him so much that every night his brain got filled with dark, disturbing thoughts.
"I'm busting out of this prison shack tonight." Joe thought. "But how?" A police officer walked past with the keys to the cells and a Taser gun. He suffocated the officer with his ape-like hands, making him faint, and Joe got his Taser and keys out of his pockets.
After escaping the prison with much difficulty, including having to take on around 10 armed guards, he escaped the walls of the prison. He looked out over the city before him.
"Look out Mordecai, because my face may be the last thing you see alive! As for the boys and Margaret, I hope they can handle an escaped mental prisoner! He ran through the trees to the city, while chased by armed guards and dogs. His plan was beginning to take shape…
MEANWHILE…
At the Park's house, Mordecai was working like mad around the house. Benson had threatened to stop his pay if he didn't work hard enough, so he had no time for breaks. His best friend Rigby (A racoon) was also working hard. ½ an hour later, Benson came in to find a spotless living room. He congratulated the two and gave them $50 each. So they headed down to the coffee shop.
Margaret was standing at the cashier as usual, when she spotted Mordecai and gave him a huge smile.
"Hey Mordecai! How are you?" she said, kissing him on the cheek. He blushed.
"I'm fine thanks Margaret. Can we get the usual please?" he said. She nodded and went to work. As they sat down, Rigby looked really tired.
"Uggggh!" he groaned. "I've never worked that hard in my life!" Mordecai agreed with him. When their coffees were brought to them, the television switched to the news.
"…This just in from Brooklyn prison, ex-drug dealer and mentally challenged prisoner Joe Kickass has escaped from Brooklyn Prison early last night. He is considered to be armed and extremely dangerous. However he says he will turn himself in after he takes care of some un-finished business."
When Margaret heard this, she dropped the coffee mug on the floor, and her face went pale. Mordecai and Rigby both spat out their coffee into their mugs and stared at the television. Margaret sat down next to them and looked worried.
"I thought Joe was locked up for good, but I guess I was wrong." She said. Mordecai put an arm around her.
"Hey, we got him in prison one time, so we can do it a second time, right?" he said. Margaret looked up at him and smiled.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." She said. Mordecai smiled at her.
"…Although Joe has escaped from prison, three 13 year old boys who claim to have fought him before have been called in to help the police. Their names are Alex Robin, Max Quintel and Cameron Zachary." The coffee shop's manager switched off the TV and turned to Margaret.
"You're dead, honey!" he said, and left. Margaret had never been so insulted before, and started to cry. Mordecai stared at the manager and went outside.
"What the hell do you think you're saying dude?" Mordecai shouted. "That's my girlfriend you're talking to!" The manager snorted.
"You? Her boyfriend? HA! Don't make me laugh!" Mordecai got enraged and punched him in the chest, winding him. The manager stumbled back against the car gasping for air.
"You want me to do that again?" Mordecai asked. The manager quickly shook his head and stumbled into his car and drove off. Margaret came outside with tears still staining her face. Mordecai smiled at her and hugged her.
"Don't worry. Your brother's in the Special Ops team with his friends. Trust me; they'll catch Joe before you even know it."
