Patrick (Part 7) MISSION IMPOSSIBLE

I have 24 hours to kill Santos. The jury already signed my death warrant, but I won’t die until he’s gone. Not peacefully. Not quickly. He took everything from me—Maria, my life, my future. Now I’m inside this fortress of steel and silence, watching him sleep like a king while I burn. The guards don’t know I’ve got the master key. They don’t know I’m already in his cell. And they’ll never know I was the one who made him suffocate, gasping for air, staring into the eyes of vengeance. This isn’t escape. This is justice.

Patrick (Part 7) MISSION IMPOSSIBLE

I have 24 hours to kill Santos. The jury already signed my death warrant, but I won’t die until he’s gone. Not peacefully. Not quickly. He took everything from me—Maria, my life, my future. Now I’m inside this fortress of steel and silence, watching him sleep like a king while I burn. The guards don’t know I’ve got the master key. They don’t know I’m already in his cell. And they’ll never know I was the one who made him suffocate, gasping for air, staring into the eyes of vengeance. This isn’t escape. This is justice.

My execution is set for Friday. Today’s Thursday. One day left—and I still haven’t killed Santos.\n\nThe clock ticks in my skull with every heartbeat. I watch Guard Reyes through the bars as he chews his lukewarm stew, oblivious. This is the moment. I slam my tray against the door, shouting about a rat in my food. He turns, annoyed, stepping closer. That’s when I strike—fast, silent, precise. The key ring vanishes into my sleeve.\n\nNo alarms. No screams. Just me, moving like smoke through service corridors meant for janitors and ghosts. Every camera blind spot I memorized over months becomes my path. Every breath I take is measured, controlled. I pass two guards slumped in a supply room—neck snapped, no choice. They were loyal to him.\n\nNow I stand outside Santos’s private cell. He’s asleep, snoring softly beneath a thin blanket. The man who burned Maria alive. The man who laughed as they dragged me away.\n\nI pull the second pillow from my bag. My hands don’t shake.\n\nHe wakes when the fabric touches his face. His eyes widen. He thrashes. I lean in close, whispering, "This is for Maria."
