He coughs and wakes up. He looks around.
"What the Hell?"
Everyone is asleep. Just lying down on the floor.
He pulls his arms out of the restraints and unties himself. He carefully steps over the bodies and finds the stationary in the desk. He writes a note and stuffs it in Zombie's pocket. He takes the elevator down and leaves.
Hours pass. Dawn creeps out over the horizon. Barstow is quiet this time of day, a far cry from the hustle and bustle of the city. The man walks up to a payphone.
"Boss man, it's me."
"You got their attention?"
"Yeah. You make it out of town?"
"I'm on the first flight out."
"You think the boys can handle what's coming?"
"They'll get through it. They always have."
"Yeah... It's been a pleasure, Sir."
"Yes it has. Be safe."
The man hangs up and walks back to his car. He drives South, down into the mountains.
The detective dials the precinct.
"Code is white. Prep inmates for transfer to Precinct 4."
He rests the phone on the receiver.
