Disconnected

It was two months later at the upstate prison Allendale. Prison guards for the past two months had been keeping an eye out on the prisoner named Robert wearing all orange in the courtyard for his daily exercise.

He had gotten into a group of prisoners where they will be protecting him from others with the reputation to be going after others with records for murder, sexual abuse and so much more.

The security guards have been watching until two of them with the right price will help them out by trying to break out the prisoner in order for him to end his revenge against Richard.

Robert's nightmares had gotten worst during the past two months ever since he was placed in this particular prison. Local therapists during the court case had advised that he was sane to stand trial to be placed into prison for now.

Security officer Gordy age 45 years old in the prison for 15 years was sick and tired of the abuse and decided to take the bribe offers to help with getting the prisoner out of the prison. He and others will be able to work on a plan to have Robert hide in the laundry truck with Gordy to be driving it out of the prison.

Once that Gordy is able to drive the laundry truck out of the prison to a local store in town some 25 miles away. Locals working for those at the prison getting paid a great deal of money will then take Robert out in another type of vehicle, along with a change of clothes, money, and most of all food until he's able to find his way back to Yonkers, New York.

It was cold this particular day with temperatures in the thirties for the first week in December 2022.

Gordy was able to say to Robert lay down in the back under the bags of laundry while wearing an air mask until they are out of the prison.

Gordy had shown his pass in order to leave the prison-like clockwork every week. "Keep your head down Robert until we are free of the prison?" he ordered going through the second checkpoint of the prison with 500 prisoners in different sections.

"How long before we are free of this damn place?" Robert just had to ask through the air mask.

"Eight minutes at best, now stay under the laundry bags. Since we don't need the security guards to be checking inside to find you. Understand?" Gordy cried out as he stops at the final checkpoint as the burly, black guard will be able to take a look at his pass before waving him on to leave the prison to be heading for town.

Exhaling with a close call. He will continue on the main road heading into town to drop off Robert and dropping off the bags of laundry to have the prisoner's orange jumpsuits cleaned.

Meanwhile Robert with $1,000 in his pocket and fresh clothes to wear. He was able to find a small motel called Allenville for which he will be staying for a few days until he's able to figure out his route. And to find out whether Richard Newman and his wife Theresa are still at the assisted living faculty in Yonkers, New York.

Now that Richard and Theresa had been married a few months now. They have much larger quarters together on the third floor. Though Theresa wasn't about to be watching her husband's every move since he's been back at the faculty.

Currently, he had gone outside to take a walk around the grounds since his doctor had recommended that he continued with the walking, along with the extra dosages of Tylenol for the pain he was suffering with Parkinson's.

Theresa likes the idea of being married where she is able to get even closer to him in many ways. But she hated to see him suffering from the pain and other symptoms.

Even though she needed to be taking better care of herself as well since her legs, in general, have been causing concern after going through a special injection with the right leg. The injection going into the groin area was able to help somewhat with the circulation, blood flow to the heart, and the entire right side of the body.

She had watched him leave the quarters as she will say their usual ritual before leaving with "I love you." Since she had always felt with anything that can happen that she or he will regret in their lives.

She had been keeping track of the court case with Robert having been found guilty and with going to the Allendale prison upstate. She knew that it was a total nightmare for the both of them with her husband suffering from the memory loss of his life.

She had advised her husband that Robert was found guilty of the murders of the three women blaming Richard for putting him into that state. Meanwhile, she needed to work on her own writing as breakfast will be opening up in 15 minutes and she needed to take the elevator down to the first floor to have something to eat with her tablemates.

It's been rather quiet of late with no further lockdowns at the place. Even though more of the activities have started up once again with the residents to be involved including me with Blackjack and Bingo to keep myself busy while her husband will be walking, visiting physical therapy, talk therapy and his own doctor to be heading out later on an ambulance by himself. Even though I am not allowed on board in order to keep an eye out on him.

She had placed the article on the Internet after printing it up with purchasing it from Micro Center in Yonkers. The article was about Robert on how the judge had given the sentence of life in prison for the murders of the three women cutting them to piece...

However, it won't be until the next day when the TV news reporter will have breaking news on the escape of the inmate Robert from the Allendale prison with security guards helping to have him escape from the prison.

She had gotten up early after finding that her husband didn't bother to wake her since they do sleep in separate beds as per the orders with the assisted living rules and regulations.

This action had made her mad as hell since he was not supposed to leave without saying something to her in the first place.

What she didn't know was the fact that her husband once again will have an accident with falling after Robert was able to figure out where he was located...

It was an hour later when she heard the alarms going off outside indicating that something must have happened with one of the residents...
