Caught

Your trial took a year. Throughout you learned some hard facts. The long and short of it is - Mr. Neilsen set you up. He had no intention on paying you at all. He got to keep his money and his coins. He didn’t know enough about you to turn you in though. He only knew Luis’ name. And then that filthy rat turned and pinned everything on you. Part of you understood he had a daughter to think of, but the other part of you hated him for turning you in. Your public defender, Bonnie, was largely inept. You felt like you could have done better at defending yourself than she did. By the end of the trial you had a burning hatred for her. On top of everything, your sweet girlfriend – Miki – testified against you.

You spent the next 15 years at San Quentin getting a hard education on the better points of criminality. Your cell mate, Demitrius, became your biggest mentor. He was serving a life sentence for ****. He captured women on the street and trained them as his personal slaves until one escaped and was caught. At first, you thought this mind control bs was nonsense. The more you listened to him, the more it started to intrigue you. Over the next 15 years, you learned about the intricacies of his operation. What he did right and what he did wrong. You spent time analyzing it. You made your plan to follow in your mentor’s footsteps. Then the time came for release. You bid your farewells to Demitrius, your new brother, and made plans to visit.

You got out and went to the halfway house. It was run by a cruel woman, Joanna. She took thrill in catching any misdeeds from the residents. Luckily in your year there, you didn’t get caught slipping up. You were set up with a PO, Laura – a tough woman who holds you to task daily. You are fostering a deep seeded hate for her that grows day by day. They sent you to a job placement firm. You were the first ex-con this firm had helped. Your counselor, Maeve, had no idea what she was doing. You got placed into a small office. Your boss there, Shada, was a stuck up Persian. She didn’t realize you were an ex-con until a month in – when she terminated the contract and put you in jeopardy of going back to San Quentin. Maeve was luckily able to find you work as a Janitor for an event planning company. Your new boss, Tina, isn’t exactly a dream but she’s not as mean as the others you’ve encountered. She doesn’t trust you and makes her assistant, Meghann, follow you around all of the jobs making sure you don’t steal anything. It makes your blood boil.

You’ve been able to keep yourself under control with the sight of today – your first day out of the halfway house in sight though. You were able to – through a shell company you set up – buy and abandoned and condemned warehouse in Hunter’s Point. It’s on the bay, secluded and desolate. Best of all, there’s no paper trail. You bought an old panel van to keep there. You also rented a cheap apartment in the mission and bought a beater station wagon to drive around. You came up with a list of marks that you want to add to your slaves as well. You have your ‘**** marks’, your ‘work marks’ and your ‘ransom marks’. You’ve tailed them as best you can, marked down their movements and made detailed notes – all while not tipping off the halfway house manager, Joanna. You’re ready to go with your plan.

You’re going to need to move soon to get your slaves set up and trained.
