Chains

Chapter Four

After Malcolm told him what was to be done. Esposito said the following to him in his cell.

"You want me to do what?" He exclaimed with his asking the question. Esposito was mostly shaking his head before answering him with the request. "I know that I have robbed banks before Malcolm. But how the hell I am to get out of the prison to work with your associates on the outside of this place?"

"Easy Espo. I have several guards on my payroll. You're able to get out without anyone saying a word to you with leaving and than coming back inside. This is going to happen tomorrow night. I will give you details to take with you to your cell. Don't let anyone see them Esposito. Understand?" Malcolm needed to be sure that he would be able to be trusted at this point.

A quarter of a million dollars was at stake with the bank robbery in the Bronx. This plan had been in the works for the past few months. Now it was time to put it into action for the most part.

"I understand Malcolm, and I will obey your orders. Can I go back to my cell to look over your plan?" He asked nicely with his tone of voice and demeanor.

"Of course! I will need your answer later on in regard to the job." He asked with Esposito getting up from the chair to head out with an escort back to his cell. He didn't know how he was going to get the information back to the warden without any of those guards catching him.

After some time with going over the plans. One of the guards working for the Warden came inside to let him know that he was as with eight others were going to be brought into the warden office for a shake down. This would be the best time than any to past on the information to the outside and Captain Beckett.

It was at this time that the guard had placed chains around his ankles and wrists to make it look like the warden was serious over all with the shake down.

Information had gotten back to Malcolm that Esposito was one of those prisoners being shaken down by the warden. They would have to wait until later to find out when Esposito comes back to his cell. And to make it believable, Esposito would be knocked around with several bruises on his face, arms and legs. And for which Sergeant Esposito had suggested it before the entire under cover operation had begun.

Some time later and several bruises to his body as with the other prisoners. Malcolm had asked his men to bring him to his cell for a little chat. Esposito was hurting all over when he arrived. Malcolm told him to sit in order for him to take care of him with a first aid kit to place bandages onto the cuts that had opened up.

"What happened?" He asked with concern etched on his face.

"The warden wanted information that I didn't have Malcolm as with everyone else. He had said to me and the others that someone inside was trying to cause trouble for him. He also mention that there was a possible chance that one of his guards might be behind it. And he needed to find out soon. Otherwise that was it accept for the fact that I was and the others were flogged." Esposito says to make them believe it on what happened in his office.

"Very well, we will need to be careful in a few days with the job. By the way what is your answer?"

"I will join your organization Malcolm and take on the job with robbing the Chase bank in the Bronx. Thank you for asking me, Malcolm." He replied with a half cock smirk on his face.

"Excellent! Lets get moving on this now with further planning." Malcolm said with talking fast in order to get Esposito back to his cell.
