Nguyen Xuan hadn't been sleeping well for weeks and was consequently very tired. That was why when he heard doors being unlocked and hushed voices speaking in the hall he only blinked and yawned for about five minutes until he realized exactly what was happening, then he yelled.
It was exceedingly lucky for Nguyen that he was inside a locked door or Spiro would probably have actually killed him.
It was exceedingly lucky for Spiro that, due to a fault in security, all the patrolling guards were in cellblock A, and that Luc in cellblock B was slightly ahead of him.
It was lucky for Spiro and his cohorts that Luc and his co-cohorts from cellblock C attacked the guards. Though they to were unarmed, they took the fit and well trained guards by surprise. It helped that Luc's convicts outnumbered the guards four to one.
Watching the fight, Spiro was struck for the first time just how insane Luc was. He struck so ferociously that Spiro, who had never seen a "horror" movie that scared him, was very scared.
The fight was over in seconds, but they weren't out of the woods yet.
Even as the last guard collapsed the sound of reinforcements approaching echoed around the hallway.
