A Blank Decision, chapter 9
"You sure this'll work Tre?" Adrienne asked after they came up with the plan.
"It has to work, we only get one chance." he replied.
The two sat waiting for the guards to arrive. The plan called for getting captured, the only way to get to the prison. Then, as soon as they were in the prison, they needed to find Billie Joe and Mike. Somehow they would escape, though that part was a little undecided. It was basically a blank decision... A choice they would make when the time came.
Around fifteen minutes later, the guards came back. They shot sleeping gas in before they entered this time, but Adie and Tre had thought of that. They heard them outside and slid on the oxygen masks before they could shoot in the gas. As it started to fan out and the guards came through, they took them off and acted like they were asleep.
They had to play dead as they were being dragged out of the hospital. They were thrown carelessly into the back of a van and then tied together like Billie had been. Tre noticed, when he allowed himself to open his eys a little bit, that there was a barrier from the front seat to the back of the van. The guards couldn't see them!
He moved his chin to get the gag off and then nudged Adrienne. She opened her eyes faintly. She looked absoultly terrified, he could tell that she didn't expect to be tied up like this. 'Should've warned her. ' he thought.
"Adrienne." he whispererd as the van started up. She could barely hear him. "The guards can't see us."
She took a look up front and nodded. Then she slid the gag off. "How are we going to get out of these ropes?"
"I dunno... Didn't one of those guards have a spear?"
"Yea, and?"
"Just wait."
- Who knows when later -
"Get them out of the back!" a female guard ordered.
"Gotcha partner." a male guard replied.
Tre lifted his head. "Get ready to kick whoever has the spear..." he hissed.
The back doors opened and Adrienne kicked the female, who had the spear, and the spear fell. Luckiely, it cut through the ropes around her wrists. Then she snatched the spear and turned it horazontal. She pushed it out behind both of the guards' backs and then pulled with all her might.
Both the guards were forced to fall forward into the van and Adrienne closed the doors. She cut her legs free and then Tre. Next she grabbed a trangulizar gun from the male guard and shot it at both of them. They stopped struggling in an instant.
"Damn, that was some good work Adie!" Tre exclaimed.
"Yeah, yeah. Close your eyes." she said.
"Why?"
"I'm swaping clothes with the chick guard."
Tre rolled his eyes and put his head down so he couldn't see anything. He heard some rustling and a zipper being undone, then the sound of a belt clattering against the metal floor of the van. He asumed she was half dressed.
There was another zip and a click. He heard her tie some laces, and finaly he was told he could look again. She was dressed in a black uniform with black boots and a red patch on her chest reading; 'Bush's Little Helper. ' Her hair was pulled back with a cap over her head, covering most of her face. The most important part was the weapon belt, complete with the trangulizar and some darts, tear gas, sleeping gas, knives, and even... Keys.
The best thing about was that she looked believable. Tre couldn't help but smile as they put the next part of the plan into action. Find Billie Joe and Mike. They had he cell keys and the uniform, all they needed was the cell numbers. Only one way to find that out...
Adrienne picked Tre up and put him over her shoulder, almost instantly buckling under his weight. She sucked it up and kept on walking. They reached the front gates and were let inside by another guard. As she entered, she asked what cell number to put Tre in.
"Cell 545, duh. Leader went over it with you about fifty times. Say, where's Johnson?"
"Erm... He's uh... He's getting the wife. Yeah, he's getting Adrienne. You know... To torcher Billie." she lied.
"Alright then, go on through." he told her.
She sighed in relief and started to look for cell 545. It was probably the fifth cell from the entrance, and she unlocked it. She placed Tre inside, told him to wait, and then went to go find Bush. He knew exactly where Billie and Mike were.
She wandered around for a little bit until she gave up. She was wasting too much time! What she needed to do was talk with another guard. 'This place is crawling with guards, can't be that hard to find one. ' she told herself. Sure enough, another female guard strolled by her.
"Hey, what cell is Dirnt in?" she asked.
"Your his guard! You should know!" she replied.
"I forgot, I just went and got Cool. What cell is he in?" she repeated.
"God, he's in cell 105. A floor up from Cool's."
"Thanks."
- A cell up from Cool's -
"Argh... Where the hell is the key to cell 105?" she asked herself.
Mike sat up inside the room. "Adrienne?"
"Umm... No. I'm not Adrienne." she said.
"Then I asmue the key to my cell would be right next to the key for cell 104 you moron!"
"Hey!"
"What?"
"You were right!"
Mike watched the door open and wanted to scream when he saw Adrienne. 'Holy shit! YES! ' he yelled in the comfort of his own mind. Adrienne smiled and closed the door. She walked over to him and grabbed his arms, pulled them behind his back, and told him to play along. She was going to take him to Tre's cell.
As she exited the cell, the looks she got were disapproving. Most of the guards wanted to know what she was doing, transfering a prisoner. But they didn't ask, they were far too busy with their own jobs. She and Mike were very thankful.
They walked down a flight of stairs and through the corrider. Almost near Tre's cell. They passed about ten when they finally arrived at Tre's. Adrienne pulled out the key and unlocked it. Mike walked in, Adrienne behind him, and she closed and locked the door.
"One down, one to go." she breathed.
"I know where Billie is. He's in the cell on the top floor, all the way down at the end of the hall. The one with the big door." Mike informed her.
"How many floors are there?"
"Five."
"Shit... How am I supposed to walk five floors without getting caught?"
"You did it on two."
"Yeah... Well, okay. You guys DON'T make a noise. Got it?"
"Yes."
"I'm going to get Billie..."
Tre and Mike watched as Adrienne dissapeared back outside. They had no idea what would happen to her on this trip out...
No idea that she would get caught.
"It has to work, we only get one chance." he replied.
