Jailbreak

[Blackstarr]

Jack was led to a small but cozy Flat on Manhattan's east quarter. The LPI officers told him that he was to start a job on Planet Pittsburgh in the morning.

"Yeah, no.." He whispered silently to himself. The flat could be bugged, and he didn't want anyone to find out his plans. He pulled out a small text based transmitter that the LPI gave him back when he was released from custody. He then sent a message to a black market dealer that he trusted with his life.

"They released me from custody. I need a gun. They have me under survaillance. I need you to met me in on Pittsburgh tomorrow in the mines. The password is 'Did anyone bring any donuts today?' I need you to do this for me. Dont forget that you owe me a favor. - Jack"

He closed the transmitter, sat on the couch, and turned on the television. There was a news story on about the current president of liberty involving a scandal.

"Such a surprise there..." He said sarcastically. His transmitter beeped.

"Jack? I thought you were dead. Yeah I will bring you a gun. They have you working on Boron Plateau Delta I am assuming? That's usually where they send all of their probation men."

Jack read the message then glanced over at his work order.
"Yeah.. Thats the one. See you there." He closed his transmitter and went to bed.

The next morning Jack took the transit train from Manhattan to Pittsburgh. The foreman at Boron Plateau Delta gave him the tools to work and then set him at his task. There wasn't much security around, but given as the only real way to get to the plateau was via train so escaping was near impossible, the must not think they needed much.

Out of the corner of his eye a man approached and said "Did anyone bring donuts today?" to which Jack replied "Yeah I have some in my lunchbox let me grab it." He opened up the small bag he had and the man reached into the bag to get a donut then dropped the gun into the bag. "Thanks" the man said walking off. He would chat with his friend but now was not the time or the place for that. He returned to his work.

------

Back at the flat Jack opened his lunchbox and inspected the gun. It had already been charged so he took it and aimed it at his wrist cuff. "If I can just blow the lock off, I could slip out of it." He thought as he took aim then fired the gun.

The cuff exploded, taking off half of his arm up to his elbow. Jack screamed. His eyes grew wide as he saw what had happened. The gun had gone flying into the corner. There was no time to retraive it. He grabbed a shirt and wrapped his arm in it trying to stop the bleding. He needed medical attention but he couldnt risk getting arrested again. Jack felt woosy. He couldnt think straight and before he knew it he was passed out on the floor.

------

Jack was startled awak by sirens. They were getting closer.

"Crap Crap Crap." He swore. He needed to get out of there. He glanced towards the back door.
"If I could just get to the alleyway out back!" He rushed towards the door and burst through it and hid behind a dumpster. He diddnt know what to do. They were surely going to catch him now. He slowly inched his way around to the side of the building. He could see 2 LPI Speeders and an LSF fighter. He watched as Agent King stepped out of the fighter. "Thats it!" He waited for them to go inside and ran to the fighter, Taking off into the sky.
