Refuge

"hey!" Gabriel stared down at the man that beat him earlier in the courtyard.

The man turned his full attention to Gabriel getting ready to fight him again.

"I'm giving you one last chance to join me," Gabriel said, waiting for a response.

The man picked Gabriel by the collar and stared him in the eyes.

"I'll take that as a no?" He said before reaching into his pockets.

The man looked down to see what he was taking out, only to fall down to the ground moments later with two bullet wounds on his head.

Everyone ran away in a panic, and Gabriel quietly joined the crowd and slipped the gun into someone's pocket.

Soon the cops came and checked the body, which resulted in everyone getting checked and the poor soul who got caught was sent to solitary confinement.

"So what are you planning on doing with all this."

The man asked Gabriel.

"Don't worry about that, did you bring them?"

"No whispering!" One of the guards shouted, hitting Gabriel in the back.

The man nodded.

"I got to go-" Gabriel got up from his seat and left.

Leaving the man there only with questions.

"Traded some meth for a gun, check."

"Shot the guy with said gun, check."

"Cause a panic and framed a prison inmate, check."

Gabriel recited to himself as he walked down the halls to solitary confinement.

"And now, I give hope."

He stopped by one of the cells and saw a young man who wasn't even over 21 on the other side of the cell.

He had white hair and his eyes were brown.

"Hey-" Gabriel said getting the attention of the man.

The man got closer to the cell door to see what Gabriel had to say.

"Come with me, I'll get you out of here." He said.

"Really?"

Gabriel nodded and opened the cell door.

"Hey, sir take a look at this!" Damian and I were in the tech room again.

I found myself spending more and more time there recently.

"What is it?"

I walked up to see what he was talking about.

"Remember when you got tied up in that weird place?"

"Well, apparently that place was an abandoned meth lab."

"Ok? and?" I asked confused as to how this would help us.

"What if this meth lab was owned by them?"

"I mean, it's kind of weird."

"The place had no broken windows and the lock was completely fine and new."

"Yet they got to go inside?"

I thought about it for a minute before picking up my coat and hat.

"Hey, where are you going?" Damian asked.

"To that abandoned building!" I shouted as I left.
