PRI Chapter 44: Evan Adam's Prison Break Plan

Evan Adam had been planning a prison break for half a month.

Although life in prison was stable, and he was doing quite well with his welding skills but Evan yearned more for freedom.

He hated these brainless criminals, just like he despised the sheep penned up on farms.

So he had always been looking for ways to escape from prison.

After collecting clues during this time, he discovered three plans that could help him escape from prison.

The first plan was the kitchen behind the cafeteria.

Some prisoners often worked in the kitchen behind the cafeteria.

They said there was a door in the kitchen that led directly outside.

Vehicles purchasing food supplies transported goods through this door.

If he could get a chef's uniform, he could leave the building during transportation and hide in the delivery truck to escape.

It sounded simple, but was very difficult to implement.

Because there were only two chefs in total. Even if he wore a chef's uniform, he couldn't fool the guards' eyes.

Not to mention breaking out of prison in full view of everyone was too risky, so Evan quickly abandoned this plan.

The second plan was to jump out the window from the third floor.

The third floor was the serious offenders' block, which should theoretically be more strictly managed.

However, Evan was one of them himself.

Through careful daily observation, he discovered that patrols on the third floor weren't actually very frequent.

Much fewer times than the second floor.

Probably because there were fewer people.

At the end of the third floor, he could see several windows.

Evan carefully examined them during recreation time. If he could open those windows, he could climb down the water pipes and then escape from prison.

It was just that first and foremost, he had to get past the guards stationed in the third floor block every night.

And he had to strictly control his escape time to within half an hour.

Otherwise, once the patrolling guards arrived, he definitely couldn't fool them.

Finally, he had to avoid the sniper rifles in the guard towers.

Yes, sniper rifles.

Evan and his fellow prisoners weren't idiots. The gunshots that night were so clear. Although they didn't know who exactly had come to the prison to cause trouble in the middle of the night.

But when Evan and the others saw the guards were all unharmed the next day, they knew someone had definitely gotten into big trouble.

Plus with police appearing at the prison one after another with serious expressions, how could they not know what had happened.

If it weren't for the guards strictly forbidding police contact with prisoners, someone might have tried to inform the police.

Therefore, the option of escaping from ground level had to be abandoned from the start.

Otherwise, leaving prison would be equivalent to entering prison.

The prison of hell.

After thinking it over, Evan found that he actually couldn't find any loopholes in Border Prison. Having no choice, he could only first look for accomplices.

Jell Flake, his cellmate, was naturally the first choice.

When breaking out of prison, not bringing your cellmate along meant risking being reported by them.

Fortunately, Flake was quite easy to talk to. After Evan tested him a few times, he agreed.

The second choice was a new friend Evan had met in the factory.

Ottavio Miller.

Initially, he had noticed this guy simply because he discovered this person wasn't a real criminal.

Yes, although it sounded a bit mystical.

But prisoners had prisoners' temperament, and different types of criminals also had different temperaments.

Evan could tell at a glance that Ottavio wasn't a criminal, he was just a scapegoat.

It was just that there were many scapegoats in prison, and nobody would deliberately pay attention to one unlucky guy.

What really impressed Evan was his skills.

This German-American was very skilled at welding, with work efficiency ranking first every day.

Initially, Evan just wanted to make friends and learn from him but after deeper contact, he found this was a real talent.

Proficient in hydraulic engineering, familiar with various types of hydraulic facilities, and skilled at electric welding and assembly, with extremely strong hands-on ability.

Even Evan had to bow down before his skills.

To get him to join, Evan spent quite a lot of effort.

Initially, he couldn't convince him at all. Like a stubborn old man, he only believed that appeals could overturn his case.

Evan told him that when judges were all bought off, wanting to overturn the case was just dreaming.

Only by getting out himself and finding evidence would there be a chance.

However, Ottavio still didn't agree.

Until Evan discovered his weakness.

Every day, Evan constantly talked about his wife and children in Ottavio's ear, and his attitude gradually softened.

Later, after receiving a phone call from his daughter and hearing that she was bullied at school and covered with bruises, this stubborn man finally couldn't stand it.

He cried very sadly that day.

Evan stayed by his side the whole time.

From then on, Evan, Ottavio, and Flake stood on the same front.

Because of this, Evan finally found a way to escape from Border Prison!

He had to thank Ottavio for reminding him.

Before going to prison, their company had contracted the hydraulic engineering for the military base that was the predecessor of Border Prison.

Ottavio remembered very clearly that under this land, there was a large drainage tunnel hidden!

Evan was extremely excited about this and quickly set up a feasible plan.

Find an opportunity to first go from the third floor to the first floor, then find the grating leading to the tunnel in the kitchen behind the cafeteria.

This way they could escape from prison and gain freedom.

After setting up the plan, Evan couldn't wait to tell Ottavio and had been waiting in the factory early in the morning.

He and Ottavio sat directly across from each other on the assembly line, which was also why they had met.

Usually, if they wanted to chat with acquaintances, they could only do so during lunch, dinner, and recreation time.

But when the factory officially started work, a strange black man sat down across from Evan.

"Hey! Officer!" Evan frowned and called to guard Parker who was passing by, "Do you know where Ottavio went! I just lent him some money yesterday, don't tell me he's already been released."

Parker looked at the opposite position, "You mean that German guy?"

"German-American... well, yes, that's him. Where did he go?"

"He was called away by the captain." Parker shook his head, "Should be at the interrogation room."

"That's good." Evan nodded and showed a happy expression.

But after Parker left, he cursed in a low voice, "Shit! Ottavio shouldn't be going to the interrogation room!"

Everyone knew what the interrogation room was!

Even those serious criminals with countless evil deeds would become obedient little lambs after going in.

Obviously, they had suffered indescribable torture inside.

If it were Evan himself, he wouldn't dare say he could withstand the prison's punishment but what had Ottavio done wrong?

He had always worked hard, and his performance and behavior had always been the best. Why?

Could it be that his lawsuit against the prison had been exposed?

Evan could only think of this one possibility.

So Ottavio would definitely suffer all kinds of torture inside, and might even be forced into a desperate situation by these hounds.

Damn!

He shouldn't have convinced Ottavio to escape together!

What if he gave him away!

...

And just as Evan was regretting alone in the factory, Ottavio was sitting in the interrogation room, face to face with Lind.

"Actually, Mr. Miller, I asked you to come here because I want to show you some information."

With that, he handed over the investigation materials about Gabe Jensen that he had in his hand.

"What is this?" Ottavio had thought he would face torture when he entered the interrogation room.

He wasn't stupid, nor was he blind. He knew what the interrogation room was for.

He also knew what he would face when he came in but he was more determined than Evan thought.

He had been prepared for exposure even before filing the lawsuit.

He had even been prepared to be betrayed when conspiring with Evan.

Although he had only been betrayed once in his life, that betrayal had been heart-wrenching and deeply memorable.

He still hadn't recovered from it.

But unexpectedly, after coming in, the warden didn't swing a whip at him, but instead gave him information about his "enemy."

Seeing Ottavio's confusion, Lind smiled and said.

"I want to discuss a cooperation with you, Mr. Miller."
