Chapter 5: Prison Raid

Sasuke, Naruto, and Lee traveled by boat to a secluded island fifty miles off the coast of Manhattan known only as 'The Hold' that to this day houses America's worst criminals that only Law Enforcement Officers know about.

Upon arriving at The Hold, Sasuke, Naruto, and Lee were greeted by Head Warden Jiraiya.

"Welcome to The Hold Detective Uchiha," Warden Jiraiya said as he held out his hand to Sasuke.

"Warden Jiraiya," Sasuke said as he shook Warden Jiraiya's hand, "We need to talk to you."

In Warden Jiraiya's office, Sasuke, Naruto, and Lee told Jiraiya about the plans for the prison break they overheard thanks to Sakura and Ino.

"You're sure about this?" Warden Jiraiya asked.

"One hundred percent," Sasuke said, "And they could strike any minute."

"You do remember about our security around here," Warden Jiraiya asked, "There is no way that a bunch of gangsters can break into this place…" it was then that a large explosion shook the entire facility.

Sasuke, Naruto, and Lee pulled out their guns as the alarm sounded, the lights went off, and Warden Jiraiya ducked underneath his desk.

"What the fuck was that," Naruto asked as he pulled his pistol-flashlight out of the pocket of his jacket, attached it to his gun, and then turned it on as the lights when out.

Sasuke attached his pistol-flashlight to his gun as Lee attached his to his gun: the three cops aimed their lights at the door as the door opened to reveal Detective Shino.

"Shino," Sasuke asked as he lowered his gun, "What are you doing here?"

"I followed you," Shino said, "Sergeant Hinata told me you were planning to stop Larry's thugs from breaking his right hand man out of jail, and I thought you might need some help."

"Well you couldn't have arrived at a better time," Sasuke said as Warden Jiraiya ran out from behind his desk to have Sasuke grab him by the arm, "Take Warden Jiraiya, and get him to safety while we try to prevent Laceration Larry's thugs from breaking Switchblade Shark out of his cell."

Sasuke, Naruto, and Lee ran to the cells where several armed guards were waiting with Colt M4/M4A Carbines (the M4/M4A Carbine is a 5.56 mm lightweight, gas operated, air cooled, magazine fed with a selective firing rate that can be sighted from the shoulder, the M4/M4A Carbine is the latest weapon in a family of firearms dating back to the M16 and even to the carbine AR-15), "Detective Uchiha," Guardian (The Hold's personal guards) Commander Lawrence Williams said as he walked up to Sasuke, "Welcome to the maximum security section."

"Are the prisoners secured?" Sasuke asked.

"Yes why?" Commander Lawrence asked. "We believe Laceration Larry is behind this raid," Sasuke said, "We received an anonymous tip that he was planning to bail Switchblade Shark out."

"We have a special place for Shark," Commander Lawrence said, he then pointed to a small door, "Through there and just follow the hallway to the end."

Sasuke, Naruto, and Lee entered the hallway to Shark's private cell where they found the gangster sitting on his bed with that same twisted evil smile that was there the day the NYPD arrested him on a hundred and fifty three counts of first-degree murder (which earned him a grand total of one hundred and seventy five life sentences without the possibility of parole or bail).

"I think my boss is coming," Shark said as he looked up at Sasuke.

"I wouldn't count on it," Sasuke said as he walked up to the cell and looked Shark straight in the completely blank, white eye, "There are fifty guards armed with automatic rifles at the end of that long hallway, the only person I know of that could get through those highly trained men is God."

It was then that Sasuke felt what felt like the tip of a needle in his back: then he instantly felt so dizzy he fell to his knees, and as he dropped onto his face, he saw Naruto and Lee drop to their faces before he completely blacked out.

"Detective Uchiha," Sasuke heard a female's voice through the darkness, "Sasuke," his eyes opened to reveal the outline of a woman with purple hair: the flash of gold on her dark blue shirt and then from the hat told Sasuke it was a cop kneeling over him, "You alright?"

Sasuke's vision cleared to reveal Sergeant Hinata was the cop kneeling over him, "Hinata," Sasuke asked as he wiped the blurriness away from his eyes, "Where are we?"

"Still at The Hold," Hinata said as she helped Sasuke to his feet, "You've been out for six hours," Hinata then held up a dart that was completely black, and had a bit of dried blood on the tip, "You were hit with a Tranquilizer dart," she said as Sasuke leaned his back against the cage, "KO shot."

"Well that defiantly explains the humming," Sasuke said as he put his hand against his head, Sasuke looked at Switchblade Shark's cell, broken open from the outside, and empty, "What the fuck," Sasuke asked as he looked into the cell, "How the hell did he escape?"

"With help," Hinata said, Sasuke turned toward her as Hinata held up the useless detonator of a c4 charge, "Whoever shot you, Naruto, and Lee in the back is pretty damn good."

"Wait," Sasuke asked, "Where are Naruto and Lee?"

"They're both fine," Hinata said as she held up her hand, "They were both shot in the back of the neck by the darts, and started getting stage one of asphyxiation, but the doctors believe they'll be back on their feet by tomorrow."

"And Warden Jiraiya," Sasuke asked as he pushed away from the wall to follow Hinata.

"He's alright," Hinata said, "Shino managed to get him off the island right before Laceration Larry's strike team arrived."

Back at the Precinct, Sasuke, Shino, and Hinata were standing in Inspector Ethan's office, their hands behind their backs, and their legs flat together.

"I can honestly say Detective," Inspector Ethan said, "I have never had a Detective under my command get caught off guard and shot in the back with a sleeper-dart."

"We thought we could catch Laceration Larry's strike force off guard," Sasuke said as he looked at Inspector Ethan.

"I know that Detective," Inspector Ethan said, "And you did much good in telling Detective Shino to get Warden Jiraiya off the island."

"We do have another lead sir," Sasuke said as he held up the dart that was shot into his back, "When we got back, I examined this a bit closer," Inspector Ethan took the dart from Sasuke's hand, and rotated it in his fingers, "That has a government serial number on it."

Inspector Ethan and Hinata turned toward to look at Sasuke before Shino who took the dart from Inspector Ethan's hands, and examined it closely, "He's right," Shino said as he looked at Sasuke.

"Thank you for taking that from my hands Detective," Inspector Ethan said as he snatched the dart from Shino's hands then turned his attention to Sasuke, "But where does that leave us Sasuke?"

"The way I see it," Sasuke said, "There are only one of two options: one we're dealing with a professional, someone with extensive military training, or we're dealing with someone on the inside."

"If we do have an insider he's obviously very, very good," Hinata said, "But who would be so stupid?"

"If we do have an insider," Sasuke said, "They've got some pretty big balls to be messing with the NYPD."

"For now Detective Uchiha I need you to focus on this dart," Inspector Ethan said as he held up the dart, "Tomorrow I want you pull every informant we have, and find out who sells this kind of dart," he then turned his attention to Hinata, "In the meantime, Sergeant Hyuuga I would like to speak to you."

"Very well," Hinata said, "See you in the morning Sasuke."

Guess what's going to happen to Hinata…
