"So how long are you in for?" Liz asks Mary Jane behind the security glass as the two talk over the phone.
"Well considering we've been charged with several counts of armed robbery and assault, I seriously doubt we'll be out by Christmas."
"Don't give up just yet. I'll figure out something, but first I need to know a little more."
"What else can I tell you? I don't even remember what happened, none of us do. But they have us on camera without our masks on and that's all the evidence they need."
"Alright time's up." One of the guards says.
"I'll see you tomorrow." Mary Jane says as she sees a very scary looking woman walk by her. "Hopefully."
"Dinner time." The guard says as Mary Jane gets in line, grabs her tray and meal, and takes a seat in the corner hoping not to be seen.
A woman, slightly older than her meekly walks over and sits across from her. She has spiky hair dyed pink and wears a glowing collar around her neck. "Um, hi." She says quietly. "What are you in for?"
"Alleged armed robbery. You?" Mary Jane asks the nervous inmate.
"Grand theft auto."
"What's with the pretty necklace?" Mary Jane asks.
"It…It protects my voice." Before she can explain any further, a very large inmate with long brunette hair walks over to the two. "What did I tell you Merissa? Don't try to hide for me."
"I'm sorry ma'am." The pink haired girl says panicked as the large woman turns her attention to Mary Jane.
"Well what do we have here, new meat? Well I'll give you the quick overview. Everyone and everything in this place is my property, understand?" she says as Mary Jane ignores her looking down at her food, causing the woman to slam her hand against the table. "Hey didn't you hear me?"
Mary Jane responds by jabbing her plastic fork into the inmate's hand causing her to scream out in pain. She then leaps over the table and swings around the woman's back driving her knees into her, knocking her face into the table. She lands down behind her as she falls flat on her back. Many of the other women sit silently for a few seconds, than break out in cheers. "Alright break it up. Everyone back to your cells!" the guard shouts as everyone gets into single file and march out the cafeteria.
Merissa walks directly behind Mary Jane. "I don't believe it. You stood up to Pound Cakes."
"How'd she get a nickname like that?"
"It's probably better you don't know. But seriously I think you're going to fit in just fine."
