The Inter-Com phone was blinking red..but no sound...in front of a small brass Nameplate which read SO Paul-Henri Arnaud...the table was sparsely occupied with things...no fancy stuffs like Master Computer...wireless fax Machines...laptops or even Pen Stand...no one bothered to pick it up...the guard at the "reception" was outside the Crystal Clear Bulletproof Fiber-Glass wall ...taking a puff of off his Cigar...his back was to the reception desk...and the entry as well..he was standing in such a way that he was in the Blind spot of the CCTV Cameras...6 of them adorning the room all around...a small 'even (Heaven) as Henri would like to call...he found out on his 3rd year of being posted to this "Supermax" facility...just when he was at the end of his stolen 2 minutes of "puff Break"...someone rapped at the Glass partition with their knuckles..being so long "on-the-job" 24 hours he turned swiftly with his taser laden baton armed and projected in front...and then he let out a a whistle...and growled..at the person...."Vat??... Ez it 'nuf or vondring...ZZhat 'ow am Steel Alive??? eh??? " to which laughing in a zestful manner Robert The" Maintenance " Man mimed his action and said.."your phone is going off man!! pick it up if you wanna have your hat on..eh??"...Robert went muttering something chewing his gum absent minded hand full of Mops..while Henri shuffled slowly into his "Room" and picked the Call up...his facial expression changed sooner than a set of those multi-color serial bulbs you see on the Boards of some Name-Board and signs of hotels/motels...so did was his facial color...from frown...to..confusion...tiny droplets of sweat forming on his forehead... at last to fear...all he could manage was."k boss.'ight...zure...zure..."ot Et boss" and slowly kept the receiver stumbling...into his Chair...blinked few times...and wiped his perspiration off his forehead with his Shirt sleeve..not bothering to take out his hanky from his left pocket...

A tall broad chested well built man in orange prison suit..but on the leaner side..like a lancet...with strong persona..and copper brown silky hair tied back into a short pony tail..at the nape of his neck..with few strands escaping the string...his pale white bangs falling in front of his handsome dimpled face...and Hazel-blue green eyes...and slim eyebrows...just a hint of a french beard ...due to a day old scruff... moved through the Cafeteria looking for something...you could say even hunting...the body language was that of a predator ...lean strong..sure footed...and moving through the shadows...darting from shadow to shadow cast by walls...swiftly he made it to the other end of the Cafeteria..having a single Extra thick Concrete reinforced Door...waited few moments till the guard checked the lock of it twice...and turned to face him..."take it" said he and threw a set of odd matched keys...in a thick black key ring..while continuing now his back to the door.. in low voice " the combination for the keypad and the retina scan ..the Cameras all have been disabled for exactly 22 minutes...i have done my job..its up-to you...if you can make it back..well and good..or else...you know what would happen...the stakes are high...THIS time...D...Good lu---" ...
"Luck doesn't exist ...Perkins..." said D in his Soft Deep Husky Calm voice...the guard was a bit startled when D said his name..he stammered " how..in..the name of...how'd u know my real..name..."...instead of answering ...D tilted his head a bit to his right..and continued cooly as if there wasn't any interruption ..." security shutting off... weekly Maintenance report...filing tomorrow...GOOD LUCK to YOU..."...and it was over the talk...for anyone from a distance the conversation would have been about anything random..like weather outside??
...and as he moved in to the light still outta reach of of the two concealed Cameras facing him...His bracelet shone..."Dmitri Ivanov" ...the bracelet was...it was like... it was sewn to his wrist..as if..it was part of his wrist and arm...
