Chapter 7 - A Visit At The Prison Cell

** In The Prison ***

In prison cell filled up with different set of criminals and wrongfully accused criminals. There was a sanitationary duties oncoming in the prison, which leads to the prisoners being actively on labour. Some were weeding the grass while some were cleaning the restroom and some were handcrafting.

Among their mist was a fair huge tall man with long bushy hairs and beards. A man full of vengeance and hatred, his heart was as stiff as stone. An ex soldier, some people calls him The Captain while some calls him Predator!

Unlike every other person, he was permanently locked in his cell. Most prison guard were afraid of him, no one dares to come close except for his lacky.

Staying in prison for 16 years has wounded him deeply that the only thing left within him was revenge. And that man is Alihandro Hale, a man serve his country with honesty only to be repayed with an injustice punishment.

Alihandro clutch his hand tightly at the cell door as he nashes his teeth very hard. His gaze were very deadly while staring straight without knitting a brow. Ali stood at his cell gate without showing any expression.

Surprisingly, one of the prison guard came to his cell. He was shrinking in fear when his eyes landed Ali. Alihandro glare spitefully at him, "What is it?" Ali asked with a hoarse voice.

The police guard heart skipped, he almost stumble and fall. He took a deep breath and summon courage and call out, "Mr Hale?!"

"Yes." Ali answered with a cold voice.

"You ha..ve a visitor," the police said as he slowly open the gate.

Ali smirked cunnily and whispered, "Ivan..."

He followed the young policeman to the visitors room. Ali chuckles cutely when he saw his brother, "Finally, look who have come to visit me..." Alihandro stylishly sway his hair backward as he sat opposite his brother who was busy bringing out what he bought for him.

Ivan grins, "Come on brother, do you have to put it that way but anyway, I brought all of this for you," Ivan points at the beverages on the table.

Alihandro stare mysterious at the things his brother brought for him. Alihandro fuss his hands to together as she throw a glance at his brother, "Is this a bribe or what?"

Ivan gave a look of disgust, "Really? Can't I your brother bring all this for you?"

"I'm just saying you see I know you so well. How may I help you or is there something you want to tell me?" Alihandro scan Ivan, his still not willing to buy his brother words and attitude.

Ivan lips curls up, "Indeed you're my brother, you know me so well." He paused and continue, "Actually, there's something I want to tell you and it have something to do with your daughter, Isabelle."

After hearing his daughter name, Ali stop whatever he was doing and became serious. His eyes widen, "What happen to my daughter? Tell me, does Richard knows?" Alihamdro baffled.

Ivan burst out laughing, "Brooo, just look at your face... Take a mirror and look at yourself, calm down... Nothing happened. I just want to tell you something concerning her, that's all."

Ali heave a sigh of relief, "What is it?"

Ivan clears his throat as he put his acts together, "Look, this will upset you. Don't get mad."

"What is it?" Ali kept a cold look.

"Promise me..."

Alihandro furrowed his brow as he keep a cold look, "Ivan, you're beginning to piss me off."

"You have to promise me, Ali."

Ali lashed out, "Say the damn thing! Ivan, you're pissing me off!"

Ivan shrink in fear, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you just listen to me."

"Ivan?!"

"Is Is Isabelle knows the truth about what happen to you and Tessa."

Alihandro eyes widen, "How is that possible? Who told her?"

"I told her, I told her about your plans on taking revenge on the Avelino's and she wants to help," Ivan said without hesitation. His heart ponder very fast as he shut his eyes hoping he don't get scolded by his brother.

"Really? Seriously? I told you not to say a thing to her. You didn't listen, you didn't listen!" Alihandro glares angrily Ivan.

Ivan hands started trembling, his heart raced very fast, "I'm sorry bro, I failed you. I train her to be tough, strong and courageous. As I'm speaking to you right now, she waiting for me to enclose her next mission."

Alihandro was shocked. He could not believe what his brother have done. "How dare you?! How could you do this to me? I entrust you with my daughter, and what did you do? What are you trying to do! You want to destroy her life?!" Ali eyes turn red, he clenched his hands into fist and slam the table very hard to the extend it attracted the police around there.

Ivan was so terrified, he move backward and remain speechless but could not help but stare at his furious brother. Alihandro closed his eyes and took a deep breath then open his eyes. He spoke with a calm voice as he try to suppress his anger, "I guess the deed has already been done and there's nothing I can do about it."

"Bro, I'm..."

Ivan was about to say something before his brother interrupts him.

"Ivan no amount of explanation will change the fact that she knows the true. Now tell me, what are your plans?"

Ivan hesitated as he glance around and then whispered quietly, "We are planning to operate hideously in a way Richard won't expect."

"And how do you want to do that?" Ali grit his teeth as snarled at Ivan.

Ivan grins, "Now you're getting along. Who else, through your daughter, Isabelle. Beside, I've been preparing her for this for a very long time," Ivan said in a low tone.

Alihandro eyes widen, "Ivan you must be truly stupid. Are you out of your mind?"

Ivan scoffed, "Bro you have to work on your temper. First, Richard isn't aware that your daughter with Tessa is still alive. Second, he don't know that she's with me and he doesn't know who I am. Worse of all, he don't know how she looks like, he can only imagine. So big brother, I want you to know you're not alone in this."

Ali became speechless. He gaze at his brother helplessly while Ivan words spin through his mind.

"Isabelle is still young. She will be a rare suspect, Richard won't see us coming. It will all happen so fast like a movie. Trust me, I got this..." Ivan added, he spoke with ease.

Ali fold his hands together, he snarled at Ivan and sighed, "Well, that's not bad. Now, I think is high time you get me out of here, I can't let you do all the work while I'm still here. Is time for war Ivan, and I'm ready to fight...!" Ali replied very coldly, like a hungry lion who is ready to devour his prey. His eyes were bold and red, he throw a hot glance at Ivan. Alihandro battles with his temper as he put his acts together.

Ivan gasps, "About that, I'm working with your lawyer. Trust me, you'll be out of here so enough."

Ali wink his eyebrow, "Ivan, this is not the first time you're saying this to me. Have been hearing this for 16 years now."

"Then and now are not the same. Richard always get in the way of things," Ivan explained.

"Then what is the difference, you aren't sure," Ali smoked Ivan with his statement.

"Bro, this is different. Look around," Ali gaze around but he didn't see anything. Ivan continue, "Richard has forgotten. He has move on, this this is to our own advantage."

"There's no one to stop us," Ivan keep blabbering his mouth.

Ali wasn't moved by his words, he sparked at him, "Ivan, Ivan, have heard enough. Show working, show working then I'll believe you. For now, we have nothing to talk about because all these are just words without working."

Ali words came like a bomb, Ivan didn't see it coming. He shoved his face down in embarrassment, "I'll prove it to you."

"Why don't you start with getting me a new competent lawyer. The one who is currently handling my case seems to not know what he is doing. I can't rely on him anymore, he very incompetent," Ali made his first complaint while keeping a calm composure.

"Visiting time is over Mr. Hale, is time to take you back into the cell," the voice of the police in charge was heard as he grab Alihandro by the arm.

Alihandro brush off his hands, "Ivan, take care of my daughter.

Make sure she is safe. She's all I have left," Ali said looking into his brother's eyes.

"Don't worry bro, I got this. Stay strong I'm coming to get you," Ivan assured him.

Ali nodded in confirmation. "I know you will."

"Take care bro, I'll visit again and I'll work on your papers. I love you, bro," Ivan continued.

"I love you too. Take care out there, alright. Let me know if anything comes up, okay," Ali replied. The police then took him to the cell.
