No Time to DIE

EPISODE 7

The third day. I can hear A gate opening but the size is something it's like opening gates for giant.

?: Welcome back, how is the journey,

Jack: I guess we reach our destination. Well guys you ready? We bursting out of here.

Xia: alright.

John: finally.

When they open the truck trunk it was bright so bright, I guess we were lock in the darkness for too long when we get out, the story is different. Our plan can never work. The camp was so big it's a like a state where people Can think of starting over again, people are making trade and this guys are the one bringing in food and supplies. The area is surrounded by walls, big tall wall. What are they scared off that made them build the giant wall.

John: oh Fuck.

Jack: yeah Fuck.

Xia: (sigh)

All the truck line up in a single file and they keep dumping the loot to their warehouse, Suddenly Jimmy drag me away from others.

Jimmy: you are coming with me.

John: wait wait, where are you taking me aren't You supposed to take us together?

Jimmy: oh you are mine. You are my prisoner now, more like slave Because of you I can't get her and now, hehe guess what am about to do to you.

John: Slave?

Jimmy: yeah a slave.

In minute I was dump into a cell and chained up like dogs, both hand and legs, heavy chains. The place is hot, dark. The wall and doors are made of iron you can't see outside neither can They can they see inside either except the little space in the top of the iron door. They have two cells, one for females and the other for males. The population of the people In The cells Are almost 200.

John: what is all this.

Jimmy: this is my judgement

John: when I get my hands on you....

Jimmy: when you get your hands on me, haa yeah dream on.

He bang the door.

I looked back and saw more people who are also locked up. I ask why.

@: we are refugees.

John: refugees?

@: yeah.

John: oh, oh, oh. God. This is not the life I wanted how the hell did I get here in the first place.

After 2 weeks of suffering, my face is all muddy, My shirt is gone. Am just with my torn trouser. My body is thin. no one will recognize me, I met new friends, one of them is Dan. We are close. He make the place a tiny little bit convenient, as he tells funny jokes and keep me company, We did excersise together when we are free. Dan has been here for over 2 and half months and he told me about his experience which was terrible. He ask me why is Jimmy torturing me everyday. I explain to him, he was surprised. Dan and I were like brothers in cell. I also told him about Jack, Xia, Ripper, and Megan.

Jimmy has been torturing me for the past two weeks my body is full of fresh and dried wounds. I did not see Jack and xia since that day, what happen to them, where are they right now. For the past two weeks I keep thinking of the past before I woke up in the hospital, then my mind trace me back to Megan. I so much missed her. Where is she. Is she dead? No, I don't want to think about that. She so much occupy my mind these days that anyone I see appears to be her.

Guard: stand up, it time.

Dan stretch his hands towards me as he pulls me up

We all stood up and walk outside with chains on us both hand and legs, we were given axe to cut firewood. This is our work, although it's random, some days we cut wood and some otherdays we break rocks, But the worst is using us as bait when they go out for supplies.

We all went to the forest out side the wall cutting dried woods, there is no much strength in us, some people died in the process because we were given little food and if you ask for more, You will be beaten to death then they feed you to the dogs. When I was cutting dry woods Jimmy came for me as usual, kick my face, whip me, call other guard to beat me up, and still ask me to continue. Others pittied my condition, Especially Dan, sometime he would come forward to cover me up with his body, beating Him up too in the process.

In the night, they brought in food. We ate up but to no fill not even half fil, some times Dan give some of his food to me but I refuse instead he ask we eat together.

Dan has gone to sleep.

Through out the night I keep thinking how Jack and xia are doing, then I drifted back to Megan. I keep realising some thing I never notice when we were still together, how beautiful she looks, how wonderful her voice is. How playful and troublesome she can be. Her dancing soft hair And lastly She was the only one who understands me.

The second day as usual and today we are breaking rocks. Jimmy came for me but this time he took me out of there to another side, Dan wanted to stop him but was thrown back by a powerful punch from Jimmy,

The women side

They are not chained up. they were cutting dry trees, I was given axe and was also direct to the tree I will be cutting. I heard one of the guard saying , boss said he is staying here tonight. The other guy ask why. Maybe he want to use him as bait, you know they are going for supplies tomorrow. Said the first guard. They left.

John: (sigh) I think my time is up.

As I was about to hit the first cut I saw female figure that looks familiar. She was also a cutting dry woods. I stare at her for some moment.

John: Megan?.... Nah just another hallucinations.

I keep cutting, the lady move close to me cutting the dry tree close to mine, I stare at her again, close my eyes And open it. wipe my face with my hands. She noticed.

@: excuse me. Are you Alright?

John: (her voice, it's Megan)

I drop my axe. She was scared and about to walk away.

John: MEGAN? Is.... that really you?

she look back.

John: remember me?

Megan: Who are you. have we met before.

John:its me John,

Megan: John?

John: yeah John. Alfred Johnson. From @$@$$$ High school.

She droped her Axe, open her mouth Then cover it with her hands.

Megan: John, It's really you!

She smiled as tears rush out running down on her cheek down to her Chin., she rush me and hug me tight like she never want to let go. I could not hug her back as my hands were tied up in chains. She hold on to me as she sob. She lift her head stare at my face then kissed me. My eyes were wide open I want to withdraw but.........It's felt good. I don't want to let go. All the pain went away.

She withdraw her lip from mine,

Megan: Sorry about that, got carried away.

John: it's no big deal I.... Kinda.....like it.

She blushed.

First guard: hey what are you doing? Get back to work

We immediately pretend like its was an accident.

John: please watch where you are going next time miss.

Megan: sorry about that.

Second guard: hey you. Pointing to Megan.

Megan: me?

Second guard: yes, come over here.

He place her to another position.

We were separated for the whole day.

Night

I was placed in a separate cell. After a while Jimmy came to my cell. I think it time but this time I have a plan myself. Am not ready to give up. . Am getting myself and friends out by starting a prison riot. Jimmy came into my cell lock the door behind him. Held my neck up,

Jimmy: it's time bitch.

I smiled.

Jimmy: what are you smiling at.

John: Stare at me very well because this will be your last chance.

Jimmy: what?

I hit his balls he bend over and drop me immediately. I turn his back on me then wrap my tied up hands with chains around his neck, as I choked him, he tries to grab my head and pull it forward but fail, he try to make a sound also failed. He is grasping for air but could get none. Until he moves no more then I release him. I search his body, found the keys to the chains And two hand gun, one is a magnum and the other is m116, I unchain my self.

John: God it's feel so good to be free.

I open the door slightly. There were two guard at the main entrance, they notice something was wrong they rush in, I hide behind the door The first guard rush in with AK in his hand I whiped him with chain on his head he fall uncontrollably, the second has his gun point out on me. I raised my hand up.

Second guard: put your hands up

John: I already did. But hey we can talk this out. Look at Jimmy there, he is laying unconsciously we need to help him.

He move back gradually to Jimmy's body starring at me And I move close to him, my target was the AK the first guard has with him. He bend to check Jimmy's pulse, by the time he look up, I already point AK at him and his gun is facing downward.

John: now drop all your weapons or I blow your fucking heads out.
