Chapter 1 - The return

The reign of mankind always have a hero and a villain,kings and queens conquering many people. All these in the name of justice and peace. The winner takes it all.

-------------

Judicial court in New York city, a hearing process is underway. This is the hearing of a case of attempted rape of the governor's daughter. A thin seventeen years old tanskinned boy wearing prison clothes is under severe questions from everyone.

The boy looks lost as he remains silent all the way through the procedure. A middle aged lawyer stands on the prosecutor side uses his confused state to her advantage making it more difficult for the defense side to respond.

The judge issues the verdict"this court finds Johnson Grey guilty of attempted rape and hereby sentence him six years impirisonment in wende correctional facility without parole"

Johnson Grey turns his head and looks towards the judge and then towards the audience.Finally the youth speaks up in a low voice "I didn't do anything." With that he was taken away without even resistance.

The judge looks shaken as she tries her best to keep calm. In the audience a young man who greatly resemble Johnson Grey smiles at the lawyer signalling his acknowledgement.

------- Five Years later -----

" Today Is the day" A well known quote all over prison as inmates chant loudly, from their tone and enthusiasm one can feel their relief.Today Is the same day that Johnson Grey is supposed to be released. Two months prior, an independent investigation was carried out by big wigg and was later revealed that Johnson Grey was innocent.

Assistant Prison Warden escorted with several guards is seen walking nervously towards cell number thirty five sixty six. As soon as he opened the door the whole prison descended to complete silence. One could even hear his own breathing.

In the warden's office a young lady looking at a feed on laptop seats on the warden's chair with an indifferent look on her face. She turns to look at the nervous warden and playfully asks"Why him?." The warden's mind wander around as he recalls.

---- (Warden Michael's P.O.V)------

To many people, being in a prison cell was torture,but for Johnson Grey it was opposite. It was literally HELL on earth.His first six months was torture and hell as the governor paid a hefty price to make his life hell.

His body was filled with stab wounds, bites scratches, razor blades cuts and everything one can think of,he was sometimes beaten to a half dead state

He struggled everyday to live by, as time went on he started to retaliate slowly. About two years in and he was now a guy who no one messed with.

In those two years, Johnson Grey had drastic changes as he looked more mature and he gained some muscles. He had an unruly vibe on him as days went on.

The most horrifying day is the day one of the inmate bosses called "Scar" tried to escape. The comms were down and there was no one to help the prison guards.

I was getting ready for my one day leave when Scott my assistant calle me saying there was a breach of security on block F which happens to be the worst of all blocks.

Riot was already in the other blocks and doctor Vivian Howard was trapped. This was horrible because none of the guards had any experience on how to handle such matters.

The breach had opened all the doors in block F including the solitary confinement harbouring Johnson Grey in block G. Soon fights ensued as the long-term sentence convicts were fighting on who will have the doctor first.

As for me I was locked inside the warden's office as protocols closed out every door that had access to the main gate.

I could only look at the monitor as more and more people surrounded infirmary. Then the unthinkable happened. A group of men from cell number thirty five sixty six came and started fighting.

Many inmates knew that cell number thirty five sixty six was bad news. One had to endure the worst to make it from there. So as time went on, the flow of inmates greatly reduced as the number of injuries piled up.

Within no time only a few inmates were standing including all the bosses from all the seven blocks. Scar being the instigator of the whole charade stayed behind Marco the boss of blockD.

The slow but heavy footsteps were heard from the solitary confinement section as three old men followed Johnson Grey. The three old men were the bosses of the last three blocks E, F and G.

The three namely Storm,Mist and Shadow are the most feared of all the inmates. Having sentences of making illegal firearms, assassination and fraud/money laundering respectively.

Johnson Grey broke the infirmary door and took the doctor who had passed out then everything went blank.

-----(end of P.O.V)---------

----Back to the present ---

Michael answers the lady with confidence "one day you'll understand." He turns and walk away leaving the lady stunned.

Back to cell number thirty five sixty six a two meter athletic build dark skinned man is doing push ups workouts. His shirtless body braggs of the intense will and motive to live. This is twenty three years old Johnson Grey.

The number of scars on his upper body gives chills the guards as assistant warden Scott stummered"It.....it..is ... for you"handing him a phone. Immediately he picks up the phone a wild laughter echo from the other side."Heeeey Grey my boy how are you?."With annoyance Grey cooly answers "hmm "

The voice laughed out even louder"hahahaha as cold as always...." Before he could continue speaking a cold voice barked"cut he crap and speak or hung up"

Silence descends for afew seconds the a tired voice speaks up"ahhh your grandma is dying!." This single sentence makes the room temperature to drop even lower. Johnson Grey turns stiff and the phone drops, the voice continue speaking "she has not more than one month to live so you must come home tonight"

A few minutes later Johnson Grey is seen in the warden's office wearing a black blazer, white long sleeved shirt and denim black trousers finished with black casual shoes.

His neat trim haircut shaved beard and collected demeanor gives of a cold and unruly vibe. As he walks out of the prison, warden Micheal smiles lightly saying "Now then, a legend's story ends here but a storm starts now the world is changing hahahaha"
