He stood up from the bunker bed as he heard the sound of the steel gate opening. He has been placed in the city's minimum security prison before his transfer to a maximum security prison in Joanesco. He followed behind the warder as they walked through the hallway which holds different cell rooms. A few armed men in uniforms could be seen, mounting in front of the prison cells. He was led into a large field in the open where he could see a few inmates who were having a good time with their family and friends. Heavily armed Security personnels could be seen, patrolling around the facility which was fenced all round. His face beamed with smiles as he saw his family and friends waving over him at the field. As he walked closer to them, he could see Jessica running to meet him. "Eden!" She cried as she hugged him tightly. He held her closely for a while as everyone watched with smiles on their faces. He looked ahead of her and he could see His father and mother standing with his sist
"Hey," Julius called as he walked over to him with a glass of fruit juice in his hand. "Hey man," Eden called as he munched his fries "You know, I'm proud of you" Julius said with a smile He nodded "Thank you for being a true friend" he said and Julius smiled. "You know, Smoke's perspective about you has changed a lot. He no longer sees you as an enemy to the state" he said "Oh, really?" Eden asked in surprise "Yeah. He sends his regards. He has been transferred away from chimalpa" he said and he nodded. "My mom sends her regards too. She's really happy right now that you did the right thing. She has spent a couple of months praying for you" he said and Eden smiled "I wish I could meet her one more time" he said and they both smiled. "Eden, my worst fear is life in prison for you. You know how many of those guys you've put in there and they're probably waiting for you right now" he said anxiously He gulped and exhaled. "I know and I've been thinking about that. I will have
10 YEARS LATER MAXIMUM SECURITY CAMP, JUAREZ The lights fluctuated and the sounds of his leather boots could be heard as he walked hastily through the hallway. Holding a tray of tea, he kept a straight face as he walked past the warders and the heavily armed men mounting in front of the cells on both sides of the hallway. He took a left turn where he could see a passageway holding up to three cells. Two heavily armed policemen could be seen patrolling along the passage which was as calm as a graveyard. He stopped in front of the cell with a number tag, G3. The sound of the steel gate could be heard as it opened wide and he walked into the cell slowly. She rose up from the bunker bed and heaved a sigh as she turned to face him. Her lips curved into a mischievous smile as she saw him holding the tray with his head bowed. "Gracias" she muttered with a smile as she took the tray from him and he turned to walk away immediately. She sat on the bed with the tray resting on her legs.
"Emilia!" "Emilia!," She heard her name being called down the stairs. She hurried up from the bed immediately and looked at her five year old son who was beside the bed doing his homework silently. "Your father is back," she said, turning to look at him. The boy looked at her in a perplexed manner before turning to his books again. The door flung open instantly, showing a young man in his late twenties, he was tall and able bodied, fair in complexion with blonde hair. His face depicts anger and his eyes were bloodshot as he walked in dressed in a black fitted suit and tie. "You shameless bitch!!," He slammed at her. "You thought I wouldn't be able to find out about your affairs uh!!," he yelled as he walked closer to her. She shifted backwards gently, she knew what he was talking about and so she summoned courage and fixed her gaze on him. "Oh.. It's a good thing you finally found out about the scandal," she smirked "How could you!!!" He yelled and grabbed her throat while
It was dark and raining when they arrived in Mexico city. The car stopped in front of a bungalow which was painted brown. Emilia pulled him out of the car with his luggage beside him and they both rushed into the building with the rain splashing all over them. Everywhere looked strange to him as they walked into the house. The lights were dim and he couldn't see clearly. The sitting room was small, compared to the one at his Father's mansion. There were three Sofas and a small glass table in the middle of the room. A soft music was playing in the background and the smell of jade perfume filled the room. "Hey".. a voice startled him and he turned to see an able bodied man standing behind him, wearing a fierce look on his face and his chin was covered with beards. He flinched at the sight. Who could he be? He reasoned as they both stared at each other with the Man's look intimidating his frail mind. He felt like peeing on himself when his mother walked in. "Hey baby," she said and
He woke up with an acrid pain on his head. He looked around the room and it was morning already. The pain of yesterday was still fresh in his mind and he thought about the lady who helped assuage his pains. He didn't know her name, and she had left without a trace. He stood up from the bed and heard his mother's voice from the living room. He knew she was back from her trip already. "Hey son," Emilia called on sighting him walk into the living room. "Hi," he mumbled and tried to walk back to his room as he saw Derrick behind her. "Hey, what happened to you?!!!" She panicked as she saw his wound. He stopped and turned to look at her. He could see Derrick's eyes piercing him from behind. "What happened son?" She asked, looking at the wound carefully. "Um ... I.. Um.." He tried to speak while Derrick continued to smirk from behind. "I fell, I got injured at school," he lied. "What!! How many times have I warned against playing dangerously at school!!" She fumed. "Hey honey, tak
Those were the kind of vibes he actually needed. Most times, he would sneak into Derrick's room to look for a stick of cigarette which he took to his room and lock himself in the bathroom to smoke. One day at school, Julius taught him about smoking and how God hates it. "Would he stop being my friend if I smoke?" Eden asked curiously "Yes, if you want to keep being his friend you must stop smoking," Julius advised. And from that day, he decided to quit cigarettes. He stopped sneaking into Derrick's room to steal his cigarettes, yeah he needed to come clean he reasoned. As he laid on his bed doing his assignments, he heard his mother scream his name from the living room. He got up in a hurry and walked out to meet her. He found her standing angrily with Derrick beside her, he was trying to calm her down. "Get your ass here right now!!" She yelled as she saw him. He wondered what he had done wrong. As he approached her, She grabbed his ears and twisted it so hard that he let out a
He ran through the dark night as Derrick chased him from behind. "I'll kill you tonight!!" Derrick yelled from behind him. He continued to run as fast as he could and then he saw Mrs Sergio's house not far away from him. Halfway to her doorpost, he stumbled on a stone and fell to the ground panting heavily. He looked behind him and saw Derrick with a knife running towards him like a maniac. "Haha!! I got you!" Derrick rejoiced as he caught up with to him and lifted his hand upwards with the knife. "No!!!!!!" He screamed and woke up from sleep. He sat up on the bed panting heavily. He looked around the small room and everywhere was bright with the sunlight penetrating through the window. This isn't home, he thought as he continued to look around. His eyes caught someone lying close to him on the bed. "Juli..us.." He tried to call but he felt an acrid pain in his head. " Ouch"!! He screamed and placed his hand on his head. He noticed that a bandage had been placed on his wound an
