THE MAFIA DON AND HIS NUN

“Shit!” Alfred cursed loudly.

Alfred and his gang turned around and they saw the officer who pressed the emergency button.

The officer was resting his back on the wall with a weak smile across his lips. His face was unrecognizable due to the bomb explosion.

The officer loved the shocked expression on the faces of Alfred and his gang, then he did a ‘fuck you’ sign at them.

Alfred angrily took out his gun and rained bullets into the officers body till his bullets finished.

“Stacy, is there any way we can get out of this place?” Douglas asked.

“No. The whole prison has been locked down. The only way you all can get out of that place is by deactivating the emergency alert security system, and to do that, I’ll need to come to the third floor where you guys are.” Stacy replied.

“No, that would be too risky.” Alfred opposed.

“What the fuck are we gonna do? There is no way out of this place.” Viper groaned.

“I know a secret passage out of this prison.” A lady said, from inside one of the cells.

Everyone turned around and they averted their gazes to her.

“You know a secret passage out of this prison?” Viper asked as she walked closer to the lady’s cell.

“Yeah. I can get you out of this prison only if you let me out of this cell.” The lady replied.

“And why should we trust you?” Viper questioned.

“Because I also wanna get the fuck out of this fucking prison.” The lady replied.

“Boss, I just detected thirty military vans heading towards this location.” The gang heard Stacy’s voice through their earbuds.

“Seems like we’ve got no other choice than to trust her.” Douglas said as he pointed at the lady in the cell.

“Bring her out of the cell.” Alfred commanded.

Caesar unlocked the cell’s door and the lady walked out. She was putting on a orange prisoner’s uniform.

“Read my lips well lady. I will kill you if you try to outsmart us.” Alfred said, menacingly.

His face was few inches away from the lady’s face. He was glaring at the lady through the mask he wore on his face.

“Chill down big guy. And first of all, my name is Matilda and secondly, I am not the type of lady who tries to outsmart people.” The lady, whose name was Matilda, replied.

“You better not try to or else, I’ll give you a merciless death.” Alfred said. Matilda scoffed at his statement.

“We know you are in there, so surrender and come out peacefully within a minute!” They all heard a voice speaking through a megaphone, outside the prison.

“Boss, the soldiers have arrived and they’ve surrounded the perimeters of the prison.” Alfred heard Stacy’s voice through his earbud.

“Yeah, we know.” Alfred replied.

“And boss, more cop cars are heading towards this prison.” Stacy said.

“It’s alright. Tell Lavoisier’s men to stay in the second van and you should also lay low.” Alfred replied.

“But boss…”

“It’s an order Stacy.” Alfred interrupted her, “Do not take any action. Just stay in the van, we’ll find a way out of this prison.”

“Okay boss.” Stacy replied, then she went off the communication line.

Matilda walked back into her cell, then she got on her knees and placed her hands on the tiled floor. She roamed her hands on the floor like she was searching for something.

“Are you sure she hasn’t gone loco?” Alfred asked as he watched Matilda, roaming her hands on the floor.

“Got it!” Matilda said, then she removed four big tiles from the floor and it revelaed a big hole with a ladder in it.

“Are you all gonna stand there till those motherfuckers outside come and get you or you are gonna follow me?” Matilda asked.

“I’ll choose the latter.” Douglas replied and walked towards Matilda.

“I know you don’t trust her, but we’ve got no other choice than to follow her.” Viper whispered to Alfred.

Alfred hesitated for a while, then he agreed.

“Let’s go.” Alfred said.

They all got inside the hole, then they climbed down the ladder.

“How did you dig such a wide hole inside your cell without getting caught by the securities?” Douglas asked Matilda as they continued climbing down the ladder.

“I dug this hole everyday and night for two years so that I can escape from this prison.” Matilda replied.

“And what about the ladder? Did you bring the ladder along with you when you were arrested?” Douglas asked, jokingly.

Matilda chuckled, “No, I found the ladder at this same spot after I finished digging the hole.” She replied.

No one said anything afterwards. They continued climbing down till they reached the end of the ladder, then they jumped down.

“What is this place?” Viper asked as she stared around. Everyone except Matilda, could see clearly because of the night vision goggles they wore.

“Can someone help me with a torch because I can’t see a fucking thing?” Matilda requested.

Rose gave Matilda the torch she took earlier from a security officer.

Matilda then scanned the whole place with the torchlight.

“Over there.” She said as she pointed at a metallic door.

“What’s a door doing down here?” Alfred asked Matilda with a suspicious look on his face.

“You should ask the people who built this place and not me.” Matilda replied.

“Then how did you know that there was a door down here?” Alfred questioned.

“Are you seriously asking me that foolish question?” Matilda asked, unbelievably.

“Yes I am. And if you don’t fucking answer my question right now, I’ll kill you!” Alfred said in a serious tone as he removed a pistol and pointed it at Matilda.

“Easy man!” Douglas said as he stood in between Alfred and Matilda.

“Get the fuck out of my way Douglas!” Alfred said, angrily.

“Calm down man, she is only trying to help us s…”

“What if this is a trap? What if she’s one of those crime officers and she’s only trying to get us arrested?” Alfred interrupted Douglas.

“If she was one them, then she wouldn’t have been locked up in a cell.” Douglas replied.

Alfred scoffed at Douglas’s reply.

“But how did she know that there was a door down here and if she knew that there was a secret passage out of this prison, then why hasn’t she escaped since two years ago?” Alfred asked.

Everyone fixed their gaze on Matilda, waiting for her to give answers to Alfred questions.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
