Escape

I am currently forcefully dragged by two armed men towards my cell. The convicts that saw me cheered and shouted at my attempt to escape the camp.

Convic #1: "hahaha! I can't believe that you made it this long," he said while laughing at the guards who are fuming in rage. I could only smile in pain as I tasted my blood inside my mouth.

Guard: "shout up, get back to sleep, you filthy animals." he said while banging his button onto the doors of the cells. But that only made all the inmates cheer louder.

Convict #2: "Hay comrade! Don't give up your fight for your freedom, my friend." I spat out the blood in my mouth and laughed out loud.

Joseph: "Hahaha! Yeah, when I escape the third time, I will be long gone before they know it." but I was punched on the face by the armed men who are dragging me. When we reached my cell, they opened the door and threw me onto the cold hard floor. I could only cough out blood while I held my stomach in pain.

Dime: "good work, my friend, you were a good distraction for the guards in our third attempt at escape, we will be victorious and see the sky once again." he then showed me three guns he hid under the bed. I smiled victoriously, knowing Dime's plan worked. Dime looked at Chan and asked him for help "hay chan help heal our hero here; we will be free in our third attempt."

Chan got up from his meditation form and walked up to me; he then opened my mouth and forced feed me a Chinese medical pill. The medicine instantly worked as I felt all the pain numbed. I then stood up and limped to my bed and lay down to take a rest. I just closed my eyes while I listened to Dime's plan for our next escape plan.

Dime: "we got all the necessary things to escape. We just need a big distraction so all the guards will be distracted while we escape." he said while thinking for a plan.

Joseph: "I might be able to draw their attention while you guys could get to the control room that unlocks all the doors remotely." I said while slightly opening my eyes. Dime eyes widen in excitement while looking at me with a wicked smile on his face.

Dime: "when all the people are free, they could be used as a distraction while we escape." he then walked towards us and handed us a gun he stole from the guards. "Make sure to hide this properly. We will start the plan when Joseph makes a distraction."

The next day I am carrying buckets full of rocks that came deeper from the mines. Dime was eying the control room that was guarded by two armed men. I looked around for any big distraction I could find. But most inmates here are starved or weak to cause any scene big enough for the guards to get involved.

I was thinking of attacking a guard, but I changed my mind when I saw a white guard dog being kicked around by his trainer. The dog could only cower in pain while his owner kicked him repeatedly. I ran towards the then and kicked the person away from the dog.

The dog looked confusingly at me while I beat his owner. The dog just sat there while I hit his trainer.

Trainer: "what are you just sitting there, you damn dog attack this guy." The dog hesitated and looked at me. He was about to turn around, but his shock collar electrocuted him. The dog whimpered in pain while he ran towards me, intending to attack me. But before he could reach me, all the guards nearby came towards me.

I saw Dime sneaking past the guards. I saw this and smiled viciously. I then stopped beating the dog trainer and started fighting the incoming guards. They tried to tackle me, but I just dodge their attempts. All of a sudden, sirens suddenly went off, and all the cell doors opened. The reinforced doors that lead outside suddenly opened.

All the convicts made a mad dash towards the exit while they shouted for their freedom. I ran towards Dime, who was now running towards the reinforced door. I looked around and noticed that Chan was not with him anymore. I was going to look for him, but Dime grabbed my arm.

Dime: "Chan decided to stay behind, he said he has to do something first here before he leaves." I could only sigh and follow Dime. When we reached the gate's entrance, we started behind and waited for the tower to stop gunning down people.

Dime: "wait for it… now!" He then ran outside and found cover. I followed him and found myself a shelter from all the bullets that are flying above my head. I looked toward Dime and saw him holding a grenade. He then threw it at the guard tower. The tower exploded, and Dime dashed the garage.

When we entered the building, he then closed the door and blocked the door with something massive. I looked around and noticed a motorcycle with a side cart.

Dime: "yes, this is our freedom, Joseph, you drive the bike. I will use the mounted gun on the side cart" I then got on the bike and started the engine. I then drove towards the closed garage door, but before I could hit the door. Dime shot the garage doors down.

The cold air hits my face while I dodge a stray bullet that is being shot at us. Dime kept shooting down vehicles that are coming after us. All of a sudden, I saw that we are coming towards a cliff's edge. I looked around and noticed a zip line going down the cliff. I drove towards it and stopped in front of it.

Joseph: "Dime, we can use this to get down the cliff," I said while going towards the zip line. I was going to use it, but I noticed that Dime didn't get off the side cart. "What are you doing, Dime? we are almost free; we just need to use this zip line."

Dime: "I am afraid that you have to go first, my friend…" he said with a sad smile. He then showed me his wounds on his shoulders. "I will hold them back while you escape my friend and make sure to taste freedom for all who sacrifice ourselves." I could only nod my head and used the zip line. I looked back toward the top cliffs and saw a massive explosion.

Joseph: "goodbye, my friend.."

The freezing air hit my face as I ran for my life. The knee-high snow made it hard to run. I heard sirens and dogs barking behind me while I was running. I looked up the mountain and saw the concentration camp that I was in before.

I continued running, but suddenly I saw a familiar white dog in front of me. It tried to bite my leg with its sharp teeth, but I grabbed its neck with my arm. I then slammed it's head softly to the white snow. I noticed that it wasn't even trying to fight me, so I let it go.

Joseph: "Sorry little guy… I know you are doing your job, but I would like to live for another day." I said to the whimpering dog who looked at me with it's pleading eyes to spare him. When I saw that he was like this, I just let him go. I know that he doesn't want to fight me.

The white shepherd looked at me with a grateful look before it licked my hands. I saw that the dog wasn't injured from slamming him onto the ground. I scanned the white dog some more and saw that he has a shock collar. I then grabbed the shock collar and ripped it off the dog's neck with my one arm.

The white Shepherd bites my sleeves to try to lead me to safety. I didn't hesitate and followed the dog, but before I could follow the dog to my freedom. I was shot on my thighs, and I fell to the cold, snowy ground. I heard people coming towards me, and I know I am not going anywhere with these injuries.

The dog that I had free tried to drag me to safety, but I caressed his head. The dog whimpered as he tried to pull me.

Joseph: "I am done for; I can't walk... You are free to go, nothing is holding you back…" I said while pulling my sleeves back. I then pushed the dog away. The dog ran away from me, but before it disappeared to the snowy lands, it looked at me with a grateful look before running off.

I looked up at the cloudy sky, feeling the freezing snow hitting my face. I heard people coming towards me with their guns pointing at me.

???: {bravo team we got the escaped convict} he said to the radio on his chest. I looked at the Asian men that are speaking in mandarin.

Radio: {how the fuck did he got out with just one arm.} the man looked at me and pointed his gun at my head.

???: {should I kill him he has been a thorn in our ass when he keeps escaping all the fucking time.} he said while cocking his rifle ready to shot my head with one single order.

Radio: {no we don't want dead bodies we need more workers to work on our mines} when the man heard this he stopped pointing the gun at my head. But then he kicked me on the head repeatedly. I just lay there, taking the beating and slowly drift to sleep.

But before, I slowly drift to sleep. I heard gunshots, I suddenly opened my eyes and saw Chan and the white dog I just saved.

Joseph: "Chan, you're alive…" I said while drifting to sleep from being tired. The last words I heard came from Chan.

Chan: "don't worry, my friend I will find a safe place you could rest…" he said before I slowly drifted to sleep.
