AN: Yes, I admit it I have them all locked up and shackled in the bathroom with T-Bag! Oh, the drama…

Sorry for the wait. You can blame it on IPA, glottal stops and all the glory that is anthropology of linguistics.

Scary-Girly: First thanks for reading and reviewing I'm glad you find the fick interesting. I have a couple of the next chapters outlined already and am adding the last touches to them.

Alright enough of my rambling

Read, please review if you can but most of all enjoy!

The guard walked in the direction of the noise. He could of sworn he heard something drop.

Michael stood up and was just about to try to do something, anything when he heard footsteps.

T-Bag shushes everyone, indicating that someone is approaching the door.

Everyone froze in their stands.

The guard approached the door.

Sucre is able to make out the outline of the guard through the distorted glass in the door.

Michael's muscles tighten up.

The guard fumbles with the keys, searching for the right one.

The walkie-talkie on his belt suddenly started transmitting.

" To all free personnel, be advised two cars collided near Fox River. Assistance is needed." the static came back on.

The guard picked up the walkie-talkie to his mouth and proceeds to answer. " I'm on my way, over and out."

He turns around and walks away

"That was fucken close, "C-Note exclaimed with relief.

Michael looks back at the pipe.

There's no way he could get around it. He can't unscrew the bolts, or try to somehow dismantle it. They didn't have enough time.

One floor up in the infirmary somewhere down the street Lincoln hears sirens and an ambulance.

He looks to the window and stared out.

He can't see beyond the walls of Fox River. All he is able to make out are lights in the distance.

" Fish what are we doing?" Sucre asks Michael anxiously.

Michael looked up at the pipe. Through the infirmary gate he could see Lincoln staring back at him.
It can't end.

Not like this.

" Michael?" Westmoreland states as he witnesses the young man falling apart.

Michael looks around.

Sucre is staring at him waiting for him to respond.

T-Bag is still holding the shank in his hand. Ready and more then eager to slice and dice.

Damn it, I need more time. A couple more days.

Frustrated Michael kicks the wall infron of him.

Something inside burst, sending liquid throughout his shoe and foot.

He stops and turns around to faced the others.

" Were doing back." He states.

"What did you just say?" C-Note asks staring at him

" Fish, you can't be serious? Go back?" Sucre states.

Michael looks back at Lincoln, then faces the others.

" It's the only way." Michael answers them.

" I don't think you heard me right. Now look it here, Fish…" C-Note proceeds to speak.

"Is there no other way out of here Michael?" Westmoreland asks.

" Now, I don't think them ears of yours are hearing correctly Pretty, either we get out of here or…" T-Bag didn't have a chance to finish.

" What are you going to do? You want to try slicing and dicing, go ahead but you still wont make it out of here. We need to go back, re-plan and try again." Michael said while staring at T-Bag, intensity blazing in his eyes.

Scofield takes of one of his shoes. He places his hand inside and pulls out a small bra baggie padding he took when Nyssa was there.

He places his shoe back on, and stares at the little bagge filled with a liquid taken from the infirmary.

"What the hell?" C-Note exclaim satring at him.

" What's with the boobie implants fish?" Sucre asked.

This is the only way, Michael thought. He had previously intended to use the liquid on one of the inmates. There were too many of them. He had calculated that one of them had to back out of the escape, and this little baggy filled with a liquid substance was going to help him with just that. Anesthetic. It was going to knock one of them out, for a while anyway. After they woke up it would have been to late already.

But now it was Lincoln's only chance.

Michael looked back at Lincoln.

He placed his hand in between of the infirmary gates and slipped the litlle bagge padding toward Lincoln.

" What is this Michael?" Lincoln asked looking a litlle uncertain at his brother.

" Swallow the liquid inside." Michael stated.

" What is it supposed to do?" Lincoln asked holding the baggie in his hand.

" It's the only way I can get you more time. If you don't hear from me, swallow the liquid inside at least an hour before…" Michael trails of.

He turned around to face the others.

" We going back." He states looking at them.

After seconds of uncertainty they have no choice, they follow Michaels lead.

T-Bag complaining all the way back.
