This story contains an original character, Dr. Caroline Morgan and a character based off of Negan from The Walking Dead, Jeffrey Michaels, who is also known as Negan in the prison. This story is a little different than some of the others I've written, but I'm kinda excited for the possibilities of it.
Due to overcrowding at Fox River State Penitentiary, another doctor is called in to help care for the inmates along with Dr. Sara Tancredi. Sara had heard that Dr. Caroline Morgan was interested in the position and she recommended her to Warden Pope because she went to medical school with her and she knew she'd be a very valuable asset for the prison to have.
On Dr. Morgan's first day, Sara gives her a tour of the prison and shows her everything she would need to know. Especially all of the emergency exits, in case of prison riot.
While on their tour, they walk outside past the Prison Yard, when Dr. Morgan catches the eye of a well-known inmate. And that inmate just happens to be Jeffrey Michaels, the man with the most power within the prison walls. He's considered the most dangerous because he has the most connections and basically runs the prison. Most people call him by his preferred nickname, Negan. No one's sure where he got the nickname, but no one dares question it. He's not a particularly violent man, unless you've done something against him. No one's entirely sure what he's in prison for, but everyone assumes it's murder because of his violent temper.
As Dr. Morgan is surveying the prison yard, she notices that one inmate cannot stop staring at her. She's immediately self-conscious of herself and even though she's dealt with a lot of violence in her life, she's slightly afraid because she's not entirely sure what these inmates will do. However, she walks over to the fence to where the inmate is cat-calling her, mostly to tell him to shut up. But as she gets closer, she can't help but notice he's a rather handsome man. He's tall with dark hair, a gruff beard and as he walks closer to the fence, she notices him sauntering over to her, like he owns the place.
He smirks at her as he drawls, "Well, well. Now, who do we have here? I heard that we were getting a new doctor in this joint, but I never expected one..." He pauses, surveying her, "So damn attractive. What's your name darlin?"
Caroline is unamused by this inmate's flirtations and immediately shuts him down by bluntly replying, "Dr. Morgan."
The man gives her another smile, noticing her demeanor, "Oh, come on darlin. There's no need to be shy, I don't bite. Name's Negan. Now, what's your first name?"
Caroline crosses her arms as she walks slightly closer to the fence with a commanding tone, "Dr. Morgan will do. Let's get one thing straight here, you're just my patient here. Nothing more."
Negan's smile widens as his eyes slightly light up, "Ohh, so we're into roleplaying, now. I see."
Caroline rolls her eyes once again. "This guy won't give it up, will he?" She thinks to herself. She decides the best thing to do is walk away, instead of giving him the satisfaction of a conversation. As she does so, she hears him call back, "Oh, come on darlin. I was merely asking you a question."
Caroline spins around and walks back towards him, crossing her arms again as she looks him dead in the eyes with a judgmental stare, "Uh no, you weren't. You were hitting on me."
Negan smirks again as he smoothly responds, "Can't blame a guy for trying."
She slightly smiles at his response but smugly retorts, "Watch me."
Negan gives her another grin as he admires her attitude, "Oooh, you're a feisty one, aren't you. Dr. Goody-goody over there would have called security on me by now." He says as he points to Dr. Tancredi who also stopped by the fence to talk to another inmate, who is very handsome, as well. Crew cut brown hair, average build and a very charming smile. She can also see underneath the partially rolled up sleeves of his shirt, that he has very intricate tattoos up and down both arms.
She then looks back to Negan with her arms still crossed, "Well, I've had practice dealing with jerks like you. I was married to one." She pauses and mumbles under her breath to herself, "Drunk bastard."
Negan smiles at the fact that Dr. Morgan is actually sharing a bit of personal information with him, "Ahh... so you were married once. Well, so was I. Until she got sick."
Caroline watches Negan's facial expression change, it seems like it's still hard for him to deal with and she feels somewhat sad for him, "I'm sorry to hear that."
Negan brushes it off, "It's okay, darlin. It was a long time ago, and I've moved on since then." As he says the last part, he goes to try and grab Dr. Morgan's hand through the fence but she immediately pulls away and heads to meet up with Dr. Tancredi, ignoring his advances.
Negan smiles as he watches her walk away and says to himself, "Ooh, damn, I am..." He pauses before continuing, "Sooo turned on right now."
As Dr. Morgan walks away to meet up with Dr. Tancredi, she can't help but dwell on the fact that while that particular inmate was very rude and obnoxious, he was rather attractive. But she tries to push those thoughts out of her mind as she walks up next to Sara.
She smiles as she meets up with her, "Hey Sara. Sorry about that, I made the mistake of walking over there to see what that guy wanted."
Dr. Tancredi smiles back, "It's okay, Caroline. We all make that mistake once or twice. He didn't harrass you too badly, did he?"
Caroline smiles brightly, "No, besides I can handle myself."
They both laugh and then Sara turns to introduce Caroline to the inmate that she was talking to, "Dr. Morgan, this is Michael Scofield. He's a patient of mine. You'll be seeing a lot of him because he comes in regularly for his insulin shots."
Michael gives Dr. Morgan a friendly smile, "Hi, Dr. Morgan. It's nice to meet you."
Dr. Morgan smiles back at Michael, "Hey, Michael, it's nice to meet you too."
Michael then adds, "Yeah, Negan can be a little aggressive at first, especially with new people. He wants everyone to think that he owns the place. Trust me, I learned that the hard way." As he says the last part, he rubs his forearm, a force of habit as he's thinking back to an old wound probably inflicted by Negan.
Dr. Morgan smiles, thinking back to their conversation, "Well, I could gather that from his demeanor. He's certainly very cocky."
Dr. Tancredi laughs, "That he is." She pauses and turns to Dr. Morgan, "Well, I think we should continue the rest of our tour, because we have a few things we have to do this afternoon."
Dr. Morgan obliged, "Okay, sounds fine with me. Lead the way." She goes to follow Sara who turns to say goodbye to the inmate, "Goodbye, Michael. I'll see you tomorrow, then."
Michael smiles back at her brightly, "Bye, Sara."
As they walk away from the prison yard, Caroline can't help but notice the lingering glances exchanged between Sara and Michael. "Is there something going on there?" She wondered to herself. She knew that one of the first things they tell you when you take the job is to never fall in love with an inmate. So obviously she must be mistaken, because Sara's not the kind of person to break the rules.
But she'll soon find out that she was in fact correct, because Sara had fallen in love with the inmate known as Michael Scofield. She just hopes that she won't do the same. Because as hard as she tries, she can't seem to shake her conversation with Negan out of her head.
R & R are always appreciated. This is sort-of a crossover story that I came up with, with the help of my best friend that loves Negan and The Walking Dead. And I, of course, am a huge Prison Break fan. It's a little different, so hopefully you all enjoy it. Let me know what you think. :)
