"This is so nice. I've heard about you. Your name is Mary, right?"
What a wonderful moment it was. The little lady criminal was sitting next to Mary Dahl, better known as Babydoll. The other inmate had been told about her and finally Griggs told young Tesson that Mary Dahl would be here for another few days. Celine found her story interesting and wondered if Miss Dahl would like to talk to her without any stupid guards around. In fact, both were waiting for a meeting with Miss Evie Jenkson, the psychologist at Belle Reve.
"You can talk with me, Missy. I'm not like the stupid guards that would destroy your life. I heard about what you've done; or was that just a bad joke and you're being punished for being a bad girl?"
It was a new experience for the blonde girl to ask questions, and she liked it very much. It would be even better if Babydoll would answer here, but she refused, of course.
"I asked you a friendly questions. We are both sitting here in these stupid strollers like we were little toddlers without a brillian brain. Come on, Babydoll, you can't play the brat pretending I'm not here. There are no guards around. Talk to meeeeeee!"
Was it so difficult to talk with her? No, it was not, and Celine Juliet Tesson was sure that if someone talked nicely to here, she would give a nice answer. Or was Mary Dahl just stubbon and didn't like her?
"No talking with you," said Babydoll. Tesson looked at her in surprise. Se was able to talk and something about her words reminded the toddler about a meeting with Miss Evie.
"But right now you are talking with me. We are both waiting for a meeting, and as I said, there are no guards here. We can't break out of these strollers and the waiting time is so annoying. Don't act like a baby. Let's talk!"
Tesson wanted to know about so many things, but Mary was adamant.
"Why should I talk to you? You are nothing more than a criminal!" Babydoll said. Celine wasn't sure if she should be proud or shocked. Of course she was a criminal, and an insane criminal at that, but her words were confusing.
"I'm one of the best criminals. I confused Batman. He was not sure if he should put me in Belle Reve. Everything works if you look cute and safe, but it won't save you from idiots like Griggs," Celine said slowly.
"At least you landed here! Are the great villains always able to escape?"
"Of course they are, but everybody starts at a low point. So why did you want to kidnap the grandson of the actor from your old show?" Celine said, changing the topic.
"Oh, don't tell me. You don't even know the name of my show," Babydoll said angrily. Blue eyes met Green eyes.
"I'm not that kind of old, so tell me about it," said Celine, finally.
"It was about ME and the rest of the cast living a happy family life," Mary answered. Celine nodded. The information wasn't very helpful, but at least Mary was talking now.
"That sounds interesting," Tesson said.
"It was! I was the star. Until…"
Mary stopped talking. She was thinking about how, much she had loved being a star, how the cancellation destroyed her life and the only family she had ever had.
"Until? I cannot read your mind. Did you meet an evil professor who destroyed your life too?" the little lady asked, eyes on the other girl.
"What? No! Maybe you're crazy, but I'm not. I'm a star!" Babydoll said proudly.
"You were! Wayne told me you tried to kill someone from the cast's family, so you are no longer a TV star," Tesson said. It made perfect sense, not that Wayne had told anything useful except that Mary Dahl was no longer a star.
"I was not just a TV star you uneducated child," snapped Babydoll angrily.
"Hey, that's not fair! I passed high school and worked for a year as a waitress," the little lady said to set the record straight.
"Woah! I am not impressed by that. You don't know my show, and that means you're uneducated," Babydoll explained.
"The tell me, please. We are both waiting to see Miss Evie Jenkson, and I have time to listen. Do you want to tell me about your show or not?"

"I don't have time to talk to you about that topic, Jenkson! It was an order!"
The guard who has the wonderful task, to talk now with Evie Jenkson, about the plan to send Tesson in a Adaption Family, hissed this word at here, after he went into her office.
"There is absolutely no option. You can't put her out of the environment she knows, even if the environment is horrible. She won't go with you."
"Did I ask for any tips from you? No! Just write a report on her behavior and the shit that' sin her mind."
"I don't think it's the best idea to put Tesson in an adoptive family to fix her, but I will follow the order."
"Good! And don't tell the brat about her future. I think Griggs will it torturing her."
"Some wounds you cannot see, when they are in your soul."
"Keep your psychological squawking for your inmates, Jenkson."
"If you say so. When is she leaving Belle Reve?"
"Which one?"
"Wait. They aren't thinking of letting Mary Dahl out as well?"
"The old days are over. It was like shock therapy for her. Do you believe that this kid tried to kill the grandson of one of her former costars?"
Evie Jenkson said nothing. The guard would not understand that Mary Dahl would feel misunderstood. She wasn't a child at all, just different in appearance, with the normal needs of a grown woman. Like Celine, she hated that people saw a child when they looked at her and treated her accordingly.
"Whatever. I have wasted enough time with you. Miss Dahl is waiting for her session with me, as is Miss Tesson. Maybe I should see them both together. Perhaps that could work."
