“Jim. Help me!” I say as I pull up on the bars.

I start chiseling away at the cement at either end of the bars.

“Why should I? We’re not getting out unless we do something crazy.”

I sit there trying not to belive in those words.

I hear footsteps signaling for me to retreat back to my corner.

“Wait” he says as he jumps up and runs to the side of the door.

“What are you doing?” I say in hushed whisper.

“Just be. I’ll handle the rest.” He says.

I nod in agreement.

I know what he’s doing.

It’s risky though.

But after all you have to try everything when your trapped in a city above the ground.

The guard walks in after the door clicks and stands with the food tray like a sad boy at school who has nowhere to sit.

Jim jumps him from the back and brings him to the floor.

I know for a fact he won’t be able to sit for a while after he wakes up. Or if he wakes up.

“Come on” Jim says as we run out of the cell. We grab the guards gun and run. As sprint by all the doors I pray no one will open any of them. We get to the landing pad as the guards find us and corner us.

“Come with us” one of them says.

Jim looks at me with tears in his eyes.

“I’m sorry but I can’t go back there.” He says and he gives me a kiss.

“I love you.” He jumps.
