Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night(whichever one it is in your part of the world),
Hi! I'm here to leave a quick review!!
First Impression: Welll..this was quite a neat little scene here to start a story off on, I don't think I've run into the first book of this so perhaps I may say something stupid due to not knowing a few details...but uhh...that aside, at first glance, this seems like a really interesting character here and definitely a pretty exciting scene to start off on here.
Anyway let's get right to it,
Savvy dug deeper. Dirt and gravel splattered into her rusty hair.
"There we go," Savannah Tomas said to herself, "Now escape will be much easier." She climbed back up the cavern and started making more holes everywhere in her cell. All of a sudden she heard large footsteps tromping down the halls.
Well..that's quite a situation there to start off with, looks like a prisoner trying to escape by digging some sort of tunnel which certainly raises a lot of questions as to what this prison is, how they've even got the tools to be digging out of there...and what even the plan is there in diggin all of those holes. From what I can see I'm assuming the holes are perhaps meant to be decoys of some sort to throw off the guards....but well let's see.
Oh gosh dang it... she thought while covering up her holes.
"Hamilton!," a large police man shouted to her, "It's time for your labor."
Ooh, looks like she's almost going to get busted there, unless of course she manages to cover up all of those things quickly enough there. Considering how many it seems was being dug, that doesn't sound like a very easy thing to do there for this one...but well, I suppose she must have been doing this several times already by now.
"Whatever..." Savvy said with a sassy tone. "But could I-"
The cop cut her off, "No 'buts' except yours outside working! Now let's go."
Okay...well, looks like this person is definitely not quite impressed by this officer and the officer doesn't seem to treat this as anything particularly new either...and that certainly tells you quite a bit about what the personality of this person here.
"Ok, fine. I have a gift for you though..." She threw a rock into the police man's face, then jumped into the cavern she had made first. Collecting loose dirt and rocks, she sealed the front of her hole. It wasn't the best barrier, for it wasn't strong enough to stand a shovel, but it would do.
Oooh, well, that's going to completely negate the need for any sort of decoy tunnel there, it looks like she's just going with the old slap someone in the face with a rock and then just run away method which is definitely a very bold method to be using there...although I don't know if its going to be a particularly effective method if she wants to get away successfully.
The police man recovered, looked into Savannahs' cell, and screamed, "I need all police men at cell 209 right now! Alexis Hamilton-"
He didn't need to finish before every other police man and guard was there. They peeked in and a gasp followed.
Alexis Hamilton, California's most wanted female criminal, who happened to be Savannah Tomas, was missing.
Hmm, well that's definitely quite a state of emergency there...and that policeman recovered quite fast someone that got hit in the face by a rock. This does however make for a pretty neat ending to this prologue here...there's definitely a sense that this is going to potentially lead to quite a few things here, especially with the fact that perhaps this story is going to be from the point of view of this criminal herself.
Aaaaand that's it for this one.
Overall: Overall, quite an intriguing prologue here, definitely caught my attention here and it seems like the sort of story that I would in fact continue to read here.
As always remember to take what you think was helpful and forget the rest.
Stay Safe
Harry
