"So how did you end up in jail princess?" her inmate asked.

There was no response from the other occupant of the cell. She hadn't even heard the question. One week ago she was sealing a very rewarding partnership and now she was trapped in this cell. She couldn't pinpoint what went wrong. One minute they were celebrating and one minute he was dead. Poisoned through his wine. Two days later his two assistants were found dead one shot and the other stabbed. Now after a trifle trial she was in jail for crimes she didn't commit, but she couldn't defend that now. The poison was found in her purse, the gun and knife in her car, some drugs and falsified documents in the safe in her office.

Her inmate asked the question again and in a few words Silvia explained her predicament to Sandra.

"This world sure is nasty, pretty heiress like you ends up in jail for a crime she didn't commit. What happened to daddy's money? He couldn't bail out his only daughter? Pity!" Sandra exclaimed making a tsking sound.

That was another thing she couldn't understand. How could Dad let her go? How could he let her spend the rest of her life in jail? Fifty years sentence and he folded his hands. No one tried to prove her innocence not even mom. Why would she poison Fin? He had been good to her, it didn't just make sense at least to her.

"Well I got to tell you something princess, nobody's going to help you but yourself. I like you so I'll make it easy for you. My friends are paying me a visit and I can let you tag along. Jail isn't a place for saints like you, you'll get destroyed if you stay here, so if you want your life back you going to do it yourself"

"But how, I mean, I don't know where to start and I can't break out of jail just like that. They'll think I'm a criminal and track me down"

"We can help you, we have many talents and in return when you are free you employ us when our services are needed. No time to waste what's it going to be princess? We can clear your name before they find you"

Silvia didn't like the sound of this but she was out of options. It was either this or forty-nine more years and it wasn't getting easier.

"Okay, deal"

"Wise decision. Pack your stuff, we are leaving"

"Now!?"
