In one of the dark cells of the prison one lived Mr. Dave. He had several charges on him including creating violence on the streets of San Francisco, arguing with the cops and refusing to accept his crimes. He was found guilty and sent to the prison for 3 years.
Dave was an Air Traffic Controller in San Francisco and had a decent life, but soon he had to resign from his job for an unknown reason. Depressed and angry walking on the streets of San Francisco came across a fight.
It was his first week in the prison located 75 km west from San Francisco. It was a huge prison with a total 1100 prisoners in it. The prison was almost covered with hills around it with tall green pine trees on them.
He always stayed alone inside the cell and never communicated with anyone, being alone gave him pleasure from but he was sad & angry most of the time. His cell had a normal sized window with metal rods, a single bed, a sealing light, a sink and some other stuff which he regularly used. The window was the most valuable thing he had in that small cell and the only thing that kept him busy enough other that those books which he never liked much.
It was his 3rd day in the prison everything was normal, he had his breakfast and skipped physical games and returned to his cell. Laying on the bed constantly staring outside the window he finds something which grabs his attention. It was a nest with 3 eggs, he observed them regularly and soon they migrated after hatching. They inspired his to be free and made him alive again, but this time all he wanted was freedom.
As days passed he couldn’t figure a way out, then, on the breakfast table while he was having his meal few of others prisoners were talking about something more serious. He wanted to grab a talk with them for discussion but they simultaneously ignored him.
Later he was shifted to another cell as it was the rule of that prison to shift prisoners every 3 months and luckily his new neighbor was rude, he was one of those guys discussing on the breakfast table a few days ago.
He later managed to communicate with him; they started eating and discussing together. Next day while their anger management classes they meet with each other, rude then asked to join him with his friends. Rude later introduced his friends Rayn, Eddy and Micheal to Dave.
They all had serious criminal backgrounds. Micheal then asked Dave to join them while having breakfast.
Back to his cell he was busy looking outside the window and was thinking where to hide once he is out, he had two choices one of them was his only friend whom he never meet since last 7 years and the other was his cousin who was in Los Angeles city. But reaching his cousin was not an easy job.
Later that day while Rude & Dave were discussing how to get out of the prison, they were not able to figure a specific way to escape.
The very next day the whole prison was preparing for a national day celebration while Dave, Rude Eddy and Micheal were on a debate to figure out how to escape the prison, they all had different thoughts and plans but Eddy had the most meaningful plan out of all. His plan of escape was to climb through the fences in the bathroom and the only way problem was the alley on the other side of those fences as there could be guards, so they had to be quick. Once they crossed it, they too had to cross the field and its fences to reach the railway track which was almost 3 km from the prison.
And for this plan they needed a rope and a metal rod which can be used as a hook, although they decided to go with Eddy’s plan and for this plan Micheal had to get the required rope and Rude that metal rod. The very next morning Dave asked rude about how they can get rope inside a prison.
Rude already had a plan for it, he asked Micheal to make small pieces of ropes by tearing clothes from the laundry. Micheal had to be very careful while taking clothes with him as the laundry had cameras and guards in it, he used to take clothes to his cell and tear them to make ropes out of it, he somehow managed to make a few meters of ropes in 3 days. While on the other side Rude was busy finding a metal and managed to bend it and take it to his cell.
Now they have a plan and the required stuffs for the escape and now they had to decide when to escape. Eddy suggested escaping just a few days before Christmas, so they had 3 days left for Christmas and their escape.
It was Dave’s last day in the prison, he was thinking about using that neem tree which was very close to the wall as they can’t simply jump off the wall. On the next day at 11 am right after the anger management session they gathered to the spot from where they were going to escape. There were no guards’ right at that moment so Rude took out the metal rod and Micheal the Rope. Rayn tied the rod with rope and threw it on the fences but he was unable to hang the rode but after trying few more times he managed to do it.
Now Rayn began climbing and asked Rude to give the other piece of rod and he managed to place it in between those fences to create some space between and crawl to the alley. He later jumped and soon Rude, Dave, Eddy and Micheal followed him too.
Micheal then saw a guard at the end of the alley facing on the other side. They had to hurry and silently walk towards the doors of the alley, after escaping the alley they just had to watch out for the guard towers in the field. Micheal then suggested to crawl instead of running as crawling will make them less noticeable. There was a huge pipe along the fences; they used it to hide themselves from guards.

They finally reached to the spot after 29 minutes of crawling where they decided to cross to the other side as there plan was to jump on the tree on the other side of the fence and quickly reach the railway tracks as soon as possible. One horrifying thing already knew was that there was no possible way to cross the fence without being noticed. As time passed they had to react fast as the alarm can be triggered at any moment, as one might notice the fence of the alley. Later Rude nervously asked Dave to go first and Dave gave his notebook which had to address on the last page.

It was 11:32am and Dave was all set to climb the fence, he silently looked around and began climbing and while he jumped on the tree one of the guards heard the voice of moving branches and triggered the alarm. Hearing the alarm Rude, Micheal, Eddy and Rayn got scared and started climbing the fence quickly, later Michael, Rude and Rayn jumped on the tree but Eddy was struggling to climb up on the fence and was shot by a guard and fall down.
Dave, Micheal, Rayn and Rude made it out and on the other side Eddy was taking his last breaths. They ran into the bushes, chased by the prison guards, Dave knew that they had to be quick as the SFPD would be aware too.

They continuously kept running towards the track, the route was not easy as they had to cross a hill ahead. After 30 minutes they made it to the hill and while Rayn tried to locate the track Micheal was looking behind for the guards. There were no traces of guards behind them.
Rayn then saw the track and they all began following Rayn and soon made it to the track. They were scared and had no idea what to do know, as time passed and continuously following the track they were tired
