View MoreBright’s P.O.V.Cole is standing there, his forehead resting against the wall. Blood streaks down the concrete in dark smears, and his shoulders are trembling.“What the hell are you doing?” I hissed.He doesn’t respond.I glance over my shoulder, checking the corridor for guards. No one’s here. Not yet. The guards in this wing are lazy, more concerned with their poker games than actual patrols.Taking a deep breath, I push the door open. The locks on some of these cells are jokes if you know how to handle them, and I’ve had a lot of time to learn. But his door is surprisingly open all the freaking time like it was meant to be like that.I step inside and grab his arm. His skin is cold, clammy.“Cole,” I say, softer this time.He turns his head toward me, and for a moment, I see something in his eyes that makes my stomach twist. It’s not fear or pain—it’s... emptiness. Like the guy I’ve seen smirking and making snide comments all these weeks isn’t there anymore.“Come on,” I say, pulli
Just like what Cole told me to do. I followed him. I hate to take orders from him, but I really need that phone right now. I wasn't really expecting anything from his cell, but I was left speechless when we entered his crib that happens to be next to mine. "Why do you have a king size bed?" I asked with an amazed expression. He didn't answer and just went straight to the small table beside his bed. He opened the drawer and took out a noticeably latest model phone. What the... Cole threw me a glance and waved the phone in his hand. "Do you want it or not?" he asked using his playful voice. I gulped. It's not supposed to be attractive. I limped towards him to snatch the phone. "Where did you get all these?" I asked while scanning the whole room. He's got everything. My eyes turned small when I noticed a small fridge.He shrugged his shoulders."I just do."I rolled my eyes. Of course, his answer didn't satisfied me. I turned my back at him as I start to tap on his phone. I sighed
Every step I take comes with more than one inmate watching me. Well, who wouldn't? I look different from the rest of them. They look like thugs waiting for a perfect time to start chaos and I look like a weakling who can't defend himself from a mosquito.I can't also ignore the obvious fact that they're not only staring at me. They're also staring at the guy walking with me.Cole"Looks like I found someone to kill for me..." I mumbled sarcastically and looked at him.He sneered.Sergeant Livioski came to told me that one of the druggies who attacked me yesterday passed away. His body wasn't working properly already because of the drugs when Cole beat him. "It's his fault that he died."My lips were left hanging open because of shock. I can't believe him.Really? He's going to justify what he did? If I had known it will come to this where one guy has to die, I wouldn't be glad that he came to save me.What do I expect from a serial killer? Lives don't matter to him."So, what? You'
"I don't need your help." This is crazy. Why did they let him stay here with me? Do they really think it's a good idea to keep him near me? When did they start trusting vigilantes like him? I furrowed my brows. Cole is just sitting across the room. He's acting like we're friends or something."Looks like I don't need to say it anyway. It's in your head, isn't it?" He's talking about the deal he's been blabbing about. Apparently, he believes I'm a baby who needs daddy's protection. Well, screw that. I don't need his protection. I don't need a serial killer protecting me. That sounds stupid. It's like a lion storing its food for tomorrow.I turned my body to him. Making sure that I catch his full attention. "Listen. People entrust their safety to people whom they can trust..." The two corners of his lips lifted. "...and I don't trust you obviously. Not now. Not never. Not a chance," I said brutally. I didn't mind hurting his feelings. He's a serial killer. A literally sober psychopath
Just when I thought I could use all the combat lessons I trained for years in this dumbass. It was too late. They already cornered and caught me. Not to mention that moving a lot with nothing, but a towel to cover you is a bad idea."NO! LET GO OF ME BASTARDS!" I screamed on the top of my lungs, but it seems like they are too high on drugs to even hear and understand me.I strangled desperately from their tight grips. One guy is holding my legs together while the other two is making sure I'm pinned on the cold floor. The guy who acts like their leader is looking at me like I'm some delicious meat.I've dealt with people like them before, but the Action Team was always there to back me up during those times. They aren't here now.Needless to say, I am hopeless."Hold her tight."Her? What in a bloody pronoun did he just use on me? Does he see boobs on my freaking flat chest? Of all things that they could be imagining right now. Really? Boobs on me."LET ME GO NOW OR YOU'LL REGRET THIS
This can't be right. Roll calls happen once a day only and that's the time where they call us to come out of our cells like pigs in the morning. Most prison facilities do it twice. Some thrice. And that's to make sure that everyone is following orders.They're strict when it comes to leaving the prison. But they don't give a fuck about anything once you're in here. You can do whatever you want except one thing.Escaping...Well, it is indeed maximum security. You can never step a foot outside unless it's the labor time where inmates are called out to do physical work on the box. But other than that? You're free to do whatever the fuck you want. The favor is with you if you have the cash. Wealthy people reigns this place. The police will bow before you.My day has been boring ever since I got back. My intestines have shrunk to their full limit already. I'm starving. I badly want to eat, but I'm afraid to go back to that cafeteria. It's the place where these evil forces linger. I'm su
"Kyle, please answer the call..." Only time can tell how long I've been trying to call him. I can hear the other line ringing, but he's not answering my call. This is so unlike him."Kyle..." Another fifteen minutes passed again. The annoying officer has been bugging me to just stop and go back to my cell. Yes, I'm talking about Livioski. The one and only. But no, I won't listen to him. I won't drop this call. Not now. Not never. He's my only hope. If he's so persistent in stopping me then he'll have to knock me out in the face."..."Please, answer it. "..."Damn it.I was about to redial his number again when a noise rang my right ear."Hello?" a familiar male voice answered. I gasped. "Who's this?" he asked with a hint of confusion in his voice. It's Kyle. He answered the call!I proudly raised my head to look at the vexing officer who was more impatient than me. He kept saying that nobody will answer my call because I'm using one of the lines in this prison. It seemed like an
Life must be fucking me up so well. I tried to sleep last night, but I just couldn't. This is way out of my comfort zone. Maybe a punch in the face will make me fall asleep fast?Yeah, I will get punished for it for sure, but isn't this too much? Never mind. I still have a pain in my head because of my stupid self harm last time.I can't stop thinking about random things running in my head. It kept me awake the whole night. I have loads of questions and ideas and one of them is how can I get the fuck out of here. I thought of escaping. I don't know. Should I use my influence? Maybe they'd let me go if I tell them that I was a detective too. It didn't work though and even that wealthy freak from yesterday couldn't leave this place. His power can only manipulate the rules of when and how he can get his calls. What makes me any different?Should I start digging a hole on the floor? I mean, yeah. It's concrete, but who knows? Let's not underestimate the power of a m
I think the quick sequence of events in my life overwhelmed me so much that I didn't hesitate to lift my hand and punch him in the face."Slave your face, asshole!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. I think it's the first time I completely say that word. Thanks to him. He deserves it very much.Cole's face turned slightly on the left because of my violent response. I hurriedly ran off before he could even react. I'm not just going to stand there and wait for him to punch me back.My feet brought me to the crowded corridors.What did he say? He'll protect me if I become his slave? He's so full of himself. He thinks of people like objects and that he can own them. What a lunatic. He can protect his own ass if he wants.I don't need his help.This is me stupidly thinking that I can eat peacefully in the most dangerous place in the City. I looked around while gasping for air and clicking my knuckles. It's a habit. I do it when I'm nervous.

In fact, it never did.I see a maximum security prison as an amusement park.But instead of fun rides and various attractions, the stars of this place are serial killers and their magnificent crimes.Killing is a form of art, and I'm just one of a million people who would fall asleep with their dark confessions like it's some bedtime story.You must be thinking that I'm sick in the head.I get that a lot."So you're Falaguerra?" I asked while scanning his crime record.He went on a killing spree for five years. He's known as "The Vanisher".Interesting.I lifted my head to look at him.
