The room had only one cell. Food stores were to the left and an unguarded table was to the right. Bars ran from the ceiling to the floor. A man sat with crossed arms on a cot. Shackles ran down his wrists to an iron hook in the middle of the cell. They hung limp and heavy on his foot. Jin stepped forward and eyed the window. The bird flew off and a few guards patrolled the courtyard beneath him. A reflection of plate armor shimmered on the window. Jin took a deep breath, not wanting to get tangled up in that mess again.

“I’m here to get you out,” Jin said and pulled the lock up on the cell. He plunged a lockpick within and began to wiggle about until the mechanism popped open.
“Why,” the man replied, finally looking up from his position. The door cell swung open and the two made eye contact. A burning passion exuded from the man’s stare. One ready to stand trial for what the Boscosi would call a crime. Jin smiled and told the man that in the end, he realized that he supports Stella more than Bosco. The prisoner grinned and lifted his shackled hands.
Jin picked the lock and the shackles fell. Jin caught them before they could bounce on the stone floor and alert the guards. He eased the shackles down and helped the man to his feet. Pushing the man gently behind him, they made their way toward the door and into the hall.

“I’ll make it,” the weary yet resolute voice spoke.
“We drop down the rope and make a run to the wilds,” Jin replied and propped the window open with a log, just to make sure. The prisoner gazed out at the sky of freedom that awaited. Jin took the rope and lowered himself one hand at a time. The prisoner stepped out above him and followed suit. Jin kept an eye on the ground in case anyone wandered by.
A guard turned the corner and Jin grimaced. His hand reached for his spear and waited. The guard tugged the rope and started to look up. Jin dropped down and smashed the blunt end of the spear into the man’s helmet, knocking him out.
With a quick gesture, Jin waved the Prisoner down and the two dashed into the wild's free men once more.
