Lightning in the Dark

Prologue

Barry Allen had everything planned out. He knew that in life, you couldn't be 100% sure of anything, but in the case of his father break out, Barry had considered every possible alternative, every outcome and found a solution. If his first attempt didn't pan out, he had a plan B, a plan C and all the way to a plan E, like emergency. Every technical aspect of the breakout and contingencies procedures were already in place. Everything would play out exactly the way he had pictured it. It had to. He didn't have any other choice.

Yes, Barry Allen had thought about everything… but one thing. People. He needed people to successfully break his father out of prison and that, was unpredictable. He had studied every file and every case and knew these people's past better than themselves. But nothing could predict how prison could change a man. Maybe some of them would turn down his escape proposal, or maybe he would be the one to change inside those harsh and cold walls. He knew he would have to take a leap of faith with this part of the plan, but Barry had always been a strong believer in human nature. He trusted people, he truly believed they could do better, be better if they really wanted to. So he would have to appeal to the good side of these people and hope that in the end, his trust in them would be rewarded, even in a place as dark as the prison of Iron Heights.

Anyhow, Barry Allen was convinced that he would succeed. He would break his father out of prison before his execution and he didn't care how many blurred lines he would have to cross in the process.

This is the story of Barry Allen and his fight to save an innocent man, his father, from the electric chair. This is a story of love, heartbreak, friendship, betrayal, trust, vengeance and redemption. But most of all, this is a story about men and women who, by joining each other's lives, will forever change their fate. Here is how it all began…
