Chapter 4 Confessions
They were all sitting around the desk out on the mile playing cards and reading. Dean was just staring off down the mile and kept checking the clock. "Everything alright Dean?" He looked up a Brute who dealt another card on the desk. "Miss Davis didn't wear you out or anything now did she?" They all chuckled and looked up at him, he didn't break a smile.
"I just helped her with the dishes, by the time I even thought about starting a conversation a guy came over angry with her." Dean said pretty slowly, they all looked at each other. "His names John, I don't know why but she didn't want me to stay so I left."
"Was she alright, why did you leave her?" Brutal said angrily going to grab the phone as he did the door opened. Alexandria walked in her hands full of the left over's from last night, stopping dead in her tracks they stared each other down.
"What?" she asked setting the boxes on the desk "Figured you boys get hungry later." She pointed to the boxes as they all stared at her.
"That's just fine baby girl thank you." Brutal broke the silence for everyone as started to dish out some boxes to them, she smiled turning to the office where she hung her cover. They ate away at the food as she came out of the office smiling at them, looking at Dean who didn't touch his food.
"You alright Dean?" He nodded.
"Yeah, I'm just not all that hungry at the moment." Dean stood up and grab the clipboard. "I'll do checks real quick." He walked off.
"If he alright." Alexandria asked as he did.
"We don't know, he's been like that all day." Harry said watching Dean do the checks. Alexandria sighed turning back into the office and grabbing another stack of paper to organize. Sitting down at the desk she leaned her headed into her head as she began to sort through them. She didn't know how long she sat there going through them, till a drink was set in front of her. Looking she saw Dean standing there with his own cup watching her.
"Figured you be thirsty you been going through that stack all day." She gave a weak smile and took the cup.
"Thank you." Leaning back in the chair she watched as he came around the desk and sat on the edge of it.
"Im sorry I was a bit out of my head this morning." Dean said taking a sip of his drink.
"Its fine, your alright though?" Dean nodded.
"Are you?" She set her cup on the desk and went back into sorting papers.
"I got a lot to do Dean I don't have time to talk." Dean stood up and leaned over her.
"Listen, if he's done something or said something to you, you have to tell someone."
"Go away please." She said brushing a strand of hair out of her face before flipping through the papers once more.
"Alex please." Standing abruptly she pushed him back away from her startling him and the men outside.
"Don't . . .Don't you ever call me that . . .ever." Trying to hold back her emotions she walked out of the office, trying to walk out of the mile but wasn't quick enough. Brutal stopped her escape attempt.
"Let me go I need some air please." She kept her head down.
"Baby girl, tell us what wrong." She looked up at him as a single tear fell down her face. Pushing past him she left the mile, Brutal turned to Dean who stood in the door way. "What did you do?"
"Nothing, I just called her Alex."
"Well maybe she doesn't like being called that now does she Dean?" Paul said as he sat down at the desk.
"Well obviously." Dean said sitting down with Paul at the desk.
"What do you want to do Paul?" Brutal asked stepping up to the desk.
"Well she wanted some air right, she'll be back. She stubborn like us she's going to try hard not to cry in front of a group." Brutal sat on the side of the desk and waited. They played their card games and read a book or a magazine. Paul and Harry got up and left after a game of cards to do their wash. Leaving Brutal and Dean in the middle of a card game themselves. They looked up about an hour later when the door to the mile opened up and Alexandria walked in. They turned and watched as she walked in and over to the desk giving a weak smile.
"Got any food left over that I brought?" They all gave a small smile and laugh as they pushed over a small box she had brought. "Thank you."
"You alright baby girl?"
"Ill be fine." She grabbed the box and moved to go into the office.
"Hey." Dean stood up slowly and stopped her, she looked up at him she a face of stone, he could tell that she had been crying more that he thought he would, her eyes were bloodshot and her face red from trying to wash away the tears. Brutal stood and approached her as well. "I just wanted to help." Letting out the breath she was holding in she looked down at the box in her hands.
"I know Dean . . . . I shouldn't of pushed you. . . . I'm so sorry." They could tell the tears were coming again and Brutal lead her to a chair, taking the box from her he knelt in front of her.
"I told you we would take care of him if you asked, didn't I?" She nodded. "Now why wont you let us?"
"You don't know him like I do, get his anger flared he'll turn into the devil himself till he gets what he wants."
"Did he get what he wanted last night?" Dean asked sitting on the edge of the desk, she looked up at him and shook her head.
"No, remember Dean when I told you I grew up with four brothers?" Dean nodded. "Well they all ended up in the Army and when they came home from basic we wrestled like we did when we kids and still beat their asses, or they let me, so I figured if I could beat four of the strongest men I know up why not be able to defend myself against this twit."
"Did you?" Brutal asked looking up at Dean.
"Yeah but not without consequences."
"Consequences?" Brutal asked the anger starting to show.
"He would never hit me on the face, he knows you'll go after him if he did." She said to Dead as she undid her coat and wait belt. "But anywhere else where im covered?" She rolled up the sleeve on her blouse to show her now bruised arms, Dead grasped her arm lightly. "My backs worse." Alexandria gulped.
"He did this to you?" She nodded hesitantly and Brutal stood quick grabbing the phone.
"NO!" She grabbed his hands causing him to stop. "Please this is between us three no one else."
"Baby girl look what he did to you, you don't deserve this." He said setting down the phone.
"I can take it for now, he leaving tomorrow for Texas some new job something like that." She started to put her coat back on.
"Your not going home till then, till after hes gone." Dean said sternly.
"Where am I supposed to shower?" Dean looked to Brutal.
"We get off the same time, you can stay with me for the night." Brutal said taking a seat behind the desk.
"I don't want to be a burden." She turned to him.
"Don't worry about it baby girl." She gave a weak smile.
