"Are you going o tell me why you tried to attack another inmate?"
"Absolutely not, Doc." Ellda said fidgeting in her straight jacket.
"Why not?" asked the doctor without any real interest, they had gone through the same script a thousand times.
"I'll tell you if I can have a phone call." Ellda said smiling as she continued to pull at the straight jacket.
"You just assaulted another inmate. I cant give you a phone call. And you're wearing a straight jacket." The doctor said looking very tired.
"Well I'm not wearing it any more." Ellda said as she finally managed to undo the jacket, "It doesn't take Houdini. Now since the guards won't realize anything for about five minutes plus a minute for them to get here. Can we talk about that phone call because it only took me two minutes to do these." Ellda said sifting through the file the doctor had brought with him and holding up pictures of what could have been people but looked more like a few dozen pounds of ground mea
The doctor nodded and swallowed, "I-I think I can arrange something."
Erin heard her phone start to ring and stood up from her sofa to answer it. She looked briefly at the caller id frowning as she did so, "Hello?"
"Colorful! I need you to help me! I'm in a serious mess!" The person on the other end shouted.
Erin looked confused for a second before remembering something, "Clowney?"
"Yes!"
"Well I'd say when you call me and the caller id says Arkham that would be a serious mess." Erin said already beginning to look for her coat and shoes.
"Either way, do you remember the time you pretended to be a psychiatrist, and then I showed you my warehouse? Take my explosives and my top hat and get me out of here. I'm the fifth window down around the right corner from the front."
"Of course, but one question, why did you call me?" Erin asked as she dumped a bunch of steak knives out and put them in the pockets of her long gray coat.
"I know one other number and I don't think 911 wants to help me. That and I trust you."
" I'll be there in an hour keep towards the front of your cell." Erin said as she put the phone on the reciever and ran down the stairs of the apartment building, thinking I'm breaking out a psychopath who probably is going to kill some one as a result, I might well steal a new car.
"Circus girl? What are you doing?" Pamela asked peering at Ellda who had curled up in a ball and wrapped her blanket and mattress around herself.
"The same thing any one on my side of the cell block should do right about now." came the muffled reply.
"Because, why?" Pamela didn't get an answer because right about then the wall behind Ellda exploded.
Erin looked in and pretended to scold Ellda, " Clowney! You know it's bad to mix with felons!"
"That's never stopped me before." Ellda said unwrapping herself from the bedding, " Next time let's blow up Jokesy."
