Prison Break

Chapter 36

Race of Life and Death

Lincoln painfully pushed himself up and he rubbed his chest as he sat up and he chuckled.

"Ha...Rookie, went and shot himself."

Michael looked up, holding himself up with his arms as he lay on the ground and he smirked. "We split up and NOW we're getting spotted..."

"You asked for it." Lincoln then stood and let his hand drop. "Come on, lets catch some Z's before we have TOO much fun." Michael nodded and Lincoln helped him to his feet and the two walked off, behind was a dead body...and a puddle of blood where the two brothers just sat.

Moments later, Michael was now laying on one of the hotel beds resting quietly on his side. Opening his eyes he rolled onto his back. "Linc..." Hearing nothing, he slowly sat up and he walked quietly out of the room.

----

Mahone rocked back and fourth now sitting at his office desk, starring up at the pictures of the Fox River Seven.

"Michael Scofield..."

"Sir, An officer as been reported gunned down...he was in an alley behind a small gas station. Not far from here."

Mahone nodded listening, then he turned away. "Ask questions, search the place...if you hear anything else, tell ME." He then stood and left the room.

---

Lincoln woke up and rolling onto his back he stretched tiredly, then he sat up groaning softly. As he looked to the side, he quickly looked around seeing no Michael. "Michael?" As he looked around, the front door knob softly began moving and then the door opened and Lincoln sighed in relief seeing Michael step in. "Are you trying to give me a heart attack?"

Michael smirked and he closed the door, reaching into his pocket. "I rented us a car..." He then pulled out keys and threw them over. "Will need to be leaving soon."

Lincoln looked to them then he leaned back. "Do you have any idea how long it's been sense I've had a real sleep?" Michael shrugged as he walked to his bed and sat down and Lincoln looked over. "How'd you sleep?"

"Now with our car...we can continue on with the plan."

"Michael!" Lincoln fell quiet for a second, regaining his composure, then he stood up and he walked over and sat beside Michael. "Listen to me, all those nights in prison...you kept yourself up by running your mind twenty-four/seven. Your not locked up anymore, it's time for you to relax and get a good long rest."

Michael said nothing...

---

T-Bag ran into a near by city, nearly tripping as he went and he smirked softly. "Well well...home sweet home!!" Slowly he walked forward, his hand was now sewed on tight.

As he walked he looked through stores and he smiled coming to one and he walked in, seconds later he came out holding a bag and he quickly took off. "Now, off to find me some good money...and just maybe.." Chuckling he pulled out his knife from his pocket. "A fish to fry..."

---

Lincoln walked away from the window, pacing the room. As he went, he looked to Michael's sleeping body and he smiled softly.

"I'll take my good nights rest in Panama... but right now..."

Quickly Lincoln jumped to his feet and he faced Michael. "Right now you are going to sleep! Do you understand me!?"

Hearing his raised voice, Michael quietly looked up and Lincoln had his arms crossed over his chest, glaring down at him. Seeing this, Michael sighed softly shaking his head. "I can't..."

Suddenly, Lincoln grabbed a hold of Michael's shoulders and he pushed him down onto the bed, pinning him softly. "Sleep Michael!!" He then stepped away and he went to the door and he locked it. "If you don't, we won't leave...and when we get locked up, I'll be the first to kick your ass!"

As he looked over his brother, he blinked seeing a small red stain under Michael. As he got closer to examine it, he saw a red stain on Michael's jacket, then moving it, he saw a huge stain on his shirt and he gasped. "Michael!?"

Michael quickly jolted awake, getting spooked and he looked up to Lincoln blinking.

"Why didn't you tell me!?"

"Tell you what?..."

Lincoln sighed and he moved the jacket. "Don't play dumb, you got shot!"

Michael looked then he lowered his coat looking away. "It's nothing big, I just got cut.." He then stood and began getting there stuff together. "Come on, we've got to go...someone is bound to be looking now and..."

"Shut up!!" Lincoln took a breath, covering his mouth thinking, then he walked over. "They'll be looking for a body if you don't quit the tough act. Michael, I'm your brother! Let me into your life. Why can't you just tell me what's going on, what's always bothering you!?"

Michael looked to him then there attention was turned as sirens where heard and he sighed softly. "That's our cue..." The two then quickly left.

---

Bellick looked around quietly as officers walked around him, he then stepped up to an undercover car and Henry approached him. "Don't let me down Bellick, I want those convicts back PRONTO!"

Bellick nodded tilting his hat then he climbed into the car and he sped off, his shot gun resting, waiting at his side.

After a mile of driving, he looked into his rear view mirror and he smirked softly. Driving behind him was none other then Lincoln and Michael.

"Piece of cake..."

Raising his shot gun, Bellick quickly jerked his steering wheel to the left and the car quickly turned, tires screaming.

Lincoln instantly hit the brakes and tires squealed and inches from the undercover car, the vehicle stopped. Michael looked up breathing hard and Lincoln punched the horn. "That bastard!" Quickly he threw open the door and as he stood, a gun went off, shattering the wind shield of the car, showering the front seat with glass.

Lincoln looked forward then he looked into the car and Michael was leaned over across the seats, looking up shaking. "You alright?" He only nodded and Lincoln slammed the door and stomped over...but stopped seeing the barrel of the shotgun.

"Easy Burrows...lets not do anything hasty." The door of the undercover car slowly opened and Bellick stepped out, gun aimed.

"What do you want?"

Bellick smirked. "You know exactly what I want...now shut up for a minute." He then turned towards the car. "Scofield! Sit up so I can see if I missed or not!"

Michael looked up some, then he slowly sat up and Bellick chuckled. "Damn...Missed. Well, guess you wouldn't be any good dead." He then slowly walked over, lowering the gun. "Guess what's going on in Fox River? Your little girlfriend is gone, and she's pretty upset...you should go cheer her up."

Michael said nothing as Bellick approached.

"Now, why don't you come on out...lets talk face to face." Michael didn't move and Bellick aimed his gun. "Out Scofield...or this time, I won't miss."

Michael glared then he slowly climbed out and he stepped up, Lincoln watching his every move.

"I'm impressed, all this time I had no clue what was going on in your head...yet, I thought you were just locked up for vacation." He chuckled softly, then his gaze landed on Michael's blood covered side. Bellick then raised the barrel of the gun, lifting the coat and he sighed softly. "That's too bad...Ya know, if you don't fix that. You won't be standing much longer. Here's the deal, I'll be a friend and take you to the hospital." Michael only glared and Bellick laughed. "I didn't think so..." He then raised the gun aiming it at Michaels chest. "I'll just put you out of your misery..." Just as he was about to pull the trigger, another gun went off and Bellick dropped to the ground gripping his leg tightly, screaming.

Michael looked to him then to Lincoln who motioned him over and the two climbed into the undercover car and they sped off, leaving Bellick to suffer.

---

Looking forward after looking back, Lincoln sighed softly and slowed the car down.

Michael sighed and leaned his head back, taking a pained breath. "I don't think we can do this anymore....not alone anyway...Will have to call the others..."

"You'll be fine..." Lincoln then pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and moving the coat he pushed it onto the wound and Michael nearly screamed. "Keep that there...we can't call anyone anyway...we've got no numbers."
