Gene raced into Holloway. When the men at the desk tried to stop him, he just showed him his warrant card and continued running. He ran deep into Holloway, trying desperately to find the theatre where the execution would be held. He stopped and listened. He heard a voice which seemed to be coming from a loudspeaker.

"Alex, do you have anything you want to say before we start?"

Gene ran toward the direction of the voice. There was a door with two guards standing outside.

"Is this the execution room?"

The guard just looked at him. He flashed his warrant card.

"Is this the execution room?!" One of the guards nodded yes.

"Let me in, now." They made no movement.

"For God's sake! LET ME IN!" In desperation, he showed them the judge's pardon. Shock crossed their faces and they opened up the door. He ran inside the room to see a man in white coat standing over Alex, who was looking out the window. He froze momentarily taking in the scene. Alex turned her head and closed her eyes.

"Stop! Stop with the drugs! I have an order from a judge to let her off!"

The man in white just looked at him helplessly. "She just got five grams of sodium thiopental. That alone is enough to kill her."

Gene looked at her, laying strapped to the bed, drugged into unconsciousness. He had an awful memory of when a different man had done the same thing, only he had tortured her first.

Gene ran toward the bed. He undid the belts fastening her to the bed and listened. She was still breathing, but it was very shallow. He picked her up off the bed.

"Hospital wing!" he yelled at the man in white.

"Right at the end of the hall," the man said.

Gene wasted no time. He moved as quickly as possible as Alex's breaths came fewer and farther between.

"C'mon Alex. It's your birthday. Don't you want to see it through?"

She inhaled deeply, and exhaled. Gene made it to the hospital wing before he realised that she had not taken another breath.

Until tomorrow
