There have been many incidents where I have looked back and asked myself how I though this would be a good idea. I asked myself that when I carried the drug money that got me into this place. I asked myself that when I insulted Red's food and got starved. I asked myself that when I broke it off with Alex. And right now. Right now I'm asking myself that again. Why I thought it would be a good idea to break into a administrative office, is beyond me. But here I sit, in said office, face to face with the assistant warden.
I've never had good luck in my life. I mean, look at me, I'm in prison. Ever since I was a little girl, luck was never on my side. I always got caught in a lie, and could never get away with anything. I can name many incidents where I had some big plans and they got ruined. I can remember breaking my leg before a huge trip to a water park and coming down with the flu the day of prom.
So I shouldn't of been surprised when the lights miraculously came on in the building during what looked like an all night long power outage and I was caught walking out of the office holding folders containing private information. Life has always hated me. All I needed was information on miss money bags here and the investments that were apparently happening in this prison. But here I am, with her looking through the folders, and me sitting here planning on how to not go crazy when I get thrown back in the SHU.
"So, Chapman, what exactly were you planning on doing with these folders hmm?" Fig asks me. I don't know what the hell to say. It's not like I'm going to look at her and say 'I am helping with a case that is building against you.' Yeah, not going to happen.
"I don't know. I'm nosey. I was looking for something interesting to read." I flat out lie to her. The way she looks at me tells me that she doesn't believe me. "I mean, I was going crazy in there with all the other girls sing and shit. I needed to get out so I decided to go ahead and do something interesting while I was sneaking." I try to convince her.
"On your feet Chapman. Now." I sigh and stand up from seat. "Against the wall." I do as the asked and wait. I hear her on the phone calling for a CO to come to her office. I drag my hands down my face knowing that I'm in for it. "Keep your hands where I can see them." Fig orders. I drop my hands by my sides. I hear the door open and Fig orders Pornstache to cuff me and walk me to the SHU. "What is this Chapman? Your third time in the SHU? You trying to break a record?" Fig asks me. Pornstache snorts as he handcuffs me and pulls me roughly away from the wall.
We start walking, Fig on one side of me and Pornstache on the other. I don't throw a fit, I don't even talk. I just walk with them to wait for the van that is going to take me down there. Apparently they got a new inmate in randomly and the van is bringing her here now. Finally the van pulls up and Pornstache tightens his grip on my arm. He leans down to my ear and whispers "Keep ahold of yourself and behave inmate." I look at him confused. Why wouldn't I behave? The CO opens the door to the van and motions for the girl to get out. He pulls her out and I gasp. I would know that black hair and glasses from a mile away.
"Alex?" I gasp. She looks up at me and I watch her emotions change in her eyes. First there's shock, then anger, then confusion as she look at the cuffs. I now realize why Pornstache said what he did. Mine and Alex's relationship wasn't exactly a secret around this prison. What no one know though, was that, I was the reason she was back. I guess my call to Polly worked.
"Where are you taking her?" Alex asks Pornstache.
"The box, not that it is any of your business inmate." He sneers at her. Alex looks at me with anger again. I'm not sure if its because I landed myself in the SHU again or if she knows about my call to Polly.
"What the fuck did you do Piper?" Alex yells as they drag her inside and me to the van. "What the fuck did you do?" Hearing my words from Chicago thrown back in my face makes me cringe. I start fighting Pornstache as he tries to get me in the van.
"No! I need to talk to Alex! I have to!" I yell. He and Fig are trying to push me into the van. I twist my body in to many weird positions just trying to get away from them. "Let me go!"
"PIPER! Get in the fucking van before you cause yourself even more trouble! I will be here when you get out and then we will have a conversation that you will not enjoy very much. You're lucky that you will have to be away from me for a while. I can calm down before we talk." I hear Alex's stone cold voice. I cringe and allow myself to be picked up and put in the van. I chance a look at Alex's face and see she is fuming. Yep, She definitely knows it was me.
And fuck am I in trouble.
