A/N: I know, short prologue is short. The chapters'll be a more average length - around 1,000 words at the shortest. I just have a thing for short prologues, heh.

Cut the Strings

Prologue

Patience was key in his line of work. Patience and planning. And he had a plan. Oh, did he have a plan. The first step was escape, of course. He could not do much in his current state of incarceration. But escape, he knew well, only took patience – perhaps a little more than most other things, but patience nonetheless.

Soon enough he would be free again and he could put his full plan into action. Until then, he would wait.
