Grey clouds hung over the city of Glasgow created an unnatural chill that seeped through the bones and clung to the soul of those working about. A fine mist hung in the air not enough to signal rain but enough to leave a fine dew on everything. There was a peace that hung in the air in the Scottish city but it was slightly unsettling it made your skin crawl and it one crave the need for something to happen because it felt like something was building. Every second that pass where there was calm felt like it was building up to something and that when the tension finally shattered the silence it would be a true disaster. Still it was just another day in Glasgow, Scotland and people move on with their life this was especially true for Alan Mcgovern this was his first day of his new job working at one of Glasgow most infamous prison, The Black Stone. Build from a dense black stone found in the sea the prison held not only Scotland’s worst but some of Europe darker individuals while known of them were in need of maximum security they were incredible dangerous and the black dull walls, known for their ability to created deep pits of depression in the weaker inmates, were needed to keep them locked up. From the outside the prison appeared to be a large, dark, and depressing castle straight from the middle ages, in fact it was believed that the stone that made up the prison was influencing the people of Glasgow and many wanted it to be destroyed and the prison moved. Some of the prisoners currently locked up in the Black Castle of Glasgow were; Jack Kinnley also known as the Crimson Night a notorious serial killer who plagued England with his deadly claws, there was also the man known as Marx a terrorist with a tendency towards pyro mania, there was even a few female prisoners who were separated from the rest of the male population one of them was Ravenna Luna a Spanish woman who created a curse that caused the men around to fall for her and spiral mentally into chaos while she rose through political ranks. There were many more notorious criminals held up in the castle like prison that sat only a few miles northeast of the city therefore everyone was on their toes because a breakout or riot could cause some of the worst of society to be released on the innocent masses.
Despite his new job at a notorious prison known for its dismal atmosphere he was quite cheerful this was a job he had wanted all his life, he gone to school, started from the bottom and work his way to the top now at 33 years old he was in the prime his life. He had finished his morning routine, had a healthy breakfast made by his loving life of 5 years, said good bye to his two children of 4 and 3 while promising to take them to get ice cream after dinner. He arrived at the arrived at the prison with a picture of him and his family his 4 year son made in the car. Despite the appearance of a disheartening castle made from dull black stone surrounded by fences and barb wired the prison was actually very advance to keep in its unwanted masses it security cameras and nullifying neck collars that would neutralize any inmate with any abilities outside of basic human levels. Surrounding the prison as 4 guard’s stations and 4 watch towers that monitored all activities and controlled everything electronic. Alan kept his cheerful attitude as he anticipated clocking out to go be with his family even though some of the older men who had worked there for years told him that he shouldn’t get use to his smile that eventually the prison takes its toll on you and you end as miserable the prisoners. But Alan ignored them and kept on it was around 3:50 he had ten more minutes left in his shift when an unmarked white van pulled up to the guard station to go into the prison. Alan following proper procedure and ask for the van’s proper identification, but the van refused to respond, Alan continued asking for permission and warning it to go back or else yet the unmarked vehicle refused to respond just sitting at the guard station. Once the final warning was initiated with no response the young, upstart rushed forward gun in hand and yank the driver’s door open…..
