Chapter 13 - Victoria Attempts A Desperate Escape Through The Kitchen
Meanwhile, across town at the precinct holding facility, Victoria was being processed by booking officers when opportunity struck.
While a distracted guard processed another inmate’s paperwork, Victoria slipped her cuffed hands downward beneath her hips.
Using a smuggled hair pin she had hidden in her collar, she jammed the delicate metal wire into the locking mechanism.
With a subtle click, the heavy steel handcuffs popped open, falling silently onto the cold linoleum floor.
She bolted toward the service exit leading into the precinct’s industrial kitchen and delivery loading dock.
“Hey! Stop right there! Inmate escaping!” a guard bellowed, chasing after her through the swinging metal doors.
Victoria shoved a rolling cart of dirty laundry into the aisle, blocking the officer’s path as she sprinted into the alley.
Rain poured down onto the dark asphalt streets as she flagged down an empty yellow taxi idling near the corner.
“Drive! Take me to the private airfield in New Jersey right now, or I’ll pay you ten thousand dollars!” she screamed at the driver.

The taxi peeled away into the rainy night, leaving the bewildered officers shouting futilely behind her in the shadows.
