Shawshank Rebooted

While on the road with Donna and Madison he was quiet and made some small talk here and there with them. But a few hours went by and he told them his name and a little bit about himself which wasn't to bad for a start. They had just crossed into a back road while in Maine before they got ambushed. Before shit could hit the fan he was taken as was his dog and the girls. He tried to fight back but was only greeted with the butt end of a rifle and he picked up on a few things. These guys were soldiers or were at least playing the part. "Hey this guy has dog tags!" said one of his captors. Another guy looked at the dog tags before nodding. "Alright send him to the room." said another captors. He was placed in a room and forced to sit down in a chair. Moments went by and for Vincent he was remaining calm yet his hands were tied at the moment. Soon enough his blindfold was off and he was greeted a man who was in uniform.




"What's your name?" asked the man in a calm tone towards Vincent. "Name's Vincent Morrison. Friends call me Doc." said Vincent to the man whose eyebrows slightly raised and he nodded as he wrote in down on his clipboard. "Medic? That's perfect to be honest we are always looking for someone to patch us up." said the man with a slight smirk. Vincent smirked right back and nodded along although he was still feeling uneasy. "Where did you serve?" asked the man to Vincent who looked down at the table for a moment. "Did a few tours in Iraq and I hated every damn minute of it." said Vincent to the man who chuckled and nodded as he wrote it down. "Spoken like a true soldier. Did a few tours of that myself and man the heat there was brutal." said the man as he was reminiscing with Vincent who nodded. The man could see though that this man was wondering why he was here and he could understand the curiosity given the situation.

"Well it's your lucky day friend. You are going to be wearing a blue jumpsuit thinking of it like...A step up from the others wearing grey, it means you are a potential recruit for this place." said the man to Vincent who looked confused. "This place?" asked Vincent to the man who just smirked once more and stood up as he held out the blue jumpsuit for Vincent who stood up and took it. "I'm Major Cliff Pine and welcome to Coalport." said Major Pine to Vincent. Soon Vincent was lead to another room where he was striped searched and he put on a blue jumpsuit. He was soon lead to another room where he could see people in cages and he soon recognized Donna. He wanted to run up to her but he had to play it cool. All the guards were watching closely now. He handed them their sandwiches and bottles of water and when he reached Donna he dropped the sandwich and kneeled down to pick it up. "Hey beautiful...So we are in a fucked up situation but from the looks of it. It's seems that this place might be a military camp. My advice just do the work for now and I'll come back-" said Vincent before he was cutoff by a guard. "Move it piss ant! No talking to the workers!" yelled the guard at Vincent. "Sorry sir." said Vincent. The guard walked over to Vincent but before he could give him a hard time he was hearing mumblings from a man inside Donna's cage. "You wanna speak up there boy?" asked the guard to the man in a serious tone.

He was beginning to regain conscious awareness as the ringing of the bars echoed alongside the ringing in his head. Encaged with a woman who appeared even more wretched than he felt. Sitting upright, he could see the others clearly around him, he tried to lower his heart rate by taking in deep breaths. "Oh, it hurts to breathe," he groaned knowing well enough none of his companions were among them. He wished to say something but was unable to get any words out. He wanted to ask who his cell mates were and how they managed to get locked up same as him but all that would come out were short phrases and random words, or sometimes sounds. "Hey There. What you here, bring?" He smiled, or at least hoped it was a smile showing the appropriate amount of teeth. How'd you manage to get in such a pickle, I swear you know just how to get in just the right amount of trouble to piss me off. Wayne slid halfway up the bars before his legs gave out and he hit the ground with a hard Oof! "Ahh! Guess I'm not going anywhere for awhile." Trying to turn his head with as little difficulty as possible, he took in his surroundings, noticing easily the other woman in the cell with him Wayne worked up the strength to finally speak; the fog clearing from his mind.

Standing as tall he could he make himself he turned to the dark haired woman, "Hey, you wouldn't happen to have a pen a you by chance?" Though he said this mostly as an icebreaker he was always on the lookout for a new pen.

When Donna got into with the guard he wanted to step in and he stepped forward but it was soon over and when the guard started to walk away Vincent walked over and grabbed him by the shoulder. "Hey we need-" said Vincent as he was cut off by the guard who hit him in the stomach with his elbow follow by a leg sweep. Vincent got the wind knocked out of him and he was on the ground now. This was a perfect start to joining this settlement so far. The guard had his foot pressed against Vincent's throat. He struggled and as he did the guard just smirked at him as he looked back at the girl. "You came in with her, another girl and a mutt right? Yeah I would get to comfortable maggot, you see you easily be in her place just like that." he said as he snapped his fingers. "Some advice just follow orders and don't try anything. The ones in the grey jumpsuits are workers do not fraternize with them unless you are on a work assignment with them. Do you understand me?!" asked the guard to Vincent. "Y-Yes sir." said Vincent as he was struggling. The guard took his foot off and as he did Vincent was coughing and getting some air into his lungs. He rubbed his neck and began to pass out the food to the rest of the workers.

A few hours had passed by and Jack had returned with some of his men. It was a good day as they had met another settlement and they worked together quite well. The leader stepped out of his truck and smirked as came out with a bottle in his hand. "Friends we are celebrating tonight as we just made contact with a new settlement and we cleared the dam thanks to our combined effort. Now drink up and relax for a moment." said Jack as he took a swig from his bottle. Major Cliff Pine walked over to Jack and told him about the potential new recruits. Vincent looked at the man and for a split second they both looked at one another. Vincent looked away but it was to late. Jack walked over to the man and smirked at him. "Heard you served yeah?" asked Jack as he was slurring his words slightly to Vincent who nodded. "Yes sir." said Vincent to Jack who nodded and looked at the other guards nearby. "Alright well soldier I want you to over to the north entrance and show me what you can do." said Jack to Vincent his tone was low and his look was serious. Just want did this man have planned? Jack once again looked at the guards and gave them a nod. They opened the cages and grabbed Donna, Madison, Wayne and a few other workers. The guards were treating them roughly and Vincent wanted to step in Jack could see this and he smirked as he patted the man on the shoulder. "Come on soldier." said Jack casually. He lead Vincent and the other workers to the north entrance and as it opened Vincent looked around as he noticed that they had a moat around them. Jack just chuckled and he patted Vincent on the back. "Yeah welcome to your first task. You guys are going to clear this moat and then expand it. It could very well take you all night so...Get to work." said Jack as he pushed in Madison. The soldiers laugh but Vincent wasn't and he jumped in after her. He helped her up and as he did the dead were coming from the either the thick brush or the water. Even with it being night now it was hard to see.




Jack just smirked and he looked at his soldiers giving them a nod. They then threw the other workers down there and Vincent looked at Jack. "Hey we need weapons to defend ourselves!" said Vincent to Jack who nodded as a slight smirk formed on his face. "Ah yeah...I forgot to mention your weapons are at your feet I'll be honest through they are rusty so...Don't get cut. Anyway you survive this and you are given a promotion." said Jack to the group.  "No, no, fuck this shit!" said one of the workers who was shaking like a leaf, a young kid probably sixteen was trying to get out of the moat only to get shot in the back of the head. "Also if you escape my men here will shoot you. Anyway see you in the morning." said Jack with a smirk as he left two guards to watch the workers. Vincent quickly began to searching in the water and he found a knife that had seen better days. "Alright stick together in a formation if you see someone go down try to help them!" said Vincent to the group.

"Now here's something familiar..." Donna said as she picked up a large pipe wrench. She could definitely work with that. She then kicked up a rake and threw it towards Madison.
