Chapter 3:

Prison Break

South Beach

The boat crashed against the sandy shore around mid-night; surely their captive friends would die of starvation soon. They rushed up the beach into a small Porre supply house and took all the available armor, weapons, elements and accessories they could use.

"We won't make it in time on foot. But I know of a place where the military keeps their vehicles, and there should be plenty sitting around for the invasion," Said Norris going through a pile of guns.

"Won't there be guards? I don't think we fight them, or they'll alert the prison," Korcha inquires, turning towards Norris.

"They probably haven't heard the news of my betrayal, I'll tell them you two are captured prisoners and I am taking you to the prison in one of the vehicles," Norris said, heading to the door.

They stealthily crept through the darkness, following landmarks from Norris' childhood. Once the Garage was in sight Orhla and Korcha put on shackles and Norris led them to the front gate, guarded by two soldiers.

Garage Gate

"Sir! What are you doing here?" Shouted a gate guard.

"I am here to transport these two prisoners to the jail, I need one of the vehicles." Stated Norris, reaching out to open to the door.

The second guard stopped him, "Sir! I can take them for you. You should head back to the Command Center and inform the Commander of your return."

"Did you hear me wrong soldier? *I* am taking them. Not you!" Norris shouted.

"Y-Y-Yes sir!" Stuttered the guard.

Garage

Norris pushed open the gate and took a look around. Orhla and Korcha stuck close to him, with their heads down. Norris strided over to the closest jeep, and waved to the guard at the other end of the building to open the doors.

They all hoped into the jeep, and the doors slowly slide opens. Norris turned the key and the engine started to rumble. He turned around to Korcha and Orhla, motioning that it was safe to take off the shackles. The jeep pulled out of its spot slowly, and turned toward the gate, then at top speed Norris took off out of the building, frightening the guards.

They rode towards the prison as the sun rose over the horizon. Morning would come soon, and it was certain this was Serge, Glenn, and kid's last day. Norris cursed the jeep for not being able to go any faster than it was, and slammed his foot against the petal. Orhla waited patiently in the back for the moment when the prison would be visible on the horizon, and she could pump up for a fierce battle. Korcha was asleep, twitching every now and again. Norris knew it would be at least another half hour before they could get there, in which time the guards would be well awake.

Prison Cell

Kid collapsed onto the floor, too tired and hungry to stand anymore. Serge and Glenn were sitting with their backs to the wall, waiting for something edible to wander into their cell.

"It's the dawn of the third day, Do you think we'll last long enough for a rescue," moaned Glenn, falling onto his side.

"Sure we will, we just have to have the will to live that much longer, I know we can do it," Said Serge, trying to keep their hopes up.

Kid laid on her back, looking into the wet moldy ceiling., "Your not tricking me with those words Serge, we won't make it."

"Hopefully, we will." Said Glenn, clutching his stomach.
