章 70: Chapter 70: Breakout

Alessa mopped the sweat from her brow as she watched the last of her men turn the corner, heading back out toward the side door that Regina's prison guard had left open for them. She was on her own now, and time was running out.

Her team had managed to free a handful of prisoners, but Janie hadn't been one of them. Alessa had been sending Carlos's soldiers back one by one, each accompanying one or two of the rebels they'd freed. Regina's guard had supplied them with the patrol routes and a master unlock code, and they'd furtively stolen their way through most of the prison complex without yet drawing Paragon's notice. Only the solitary wing was left now, and Alessa was praying that she would find Janie within.

The prison complex was a big winding loop, and Alessa was by the far end of the solitary wing. She would work her way out, checking the cells as she went and taking whoever she could find with her. Hopefully Janie would be one of them.

Please let Janie be one of them.
