7

I have traveled through the hours every day of time waiting for you to come and make me feel alive. I have waited for you for 60 years. Yet I cannot have you, because you are not like me, but I would give my gift to you if it meant being with you…forever.

My eyes snapped open and I sat up and looked around. I dreamed of a voice inside me head? Now I must be really crazy. I have never dreamt of words before. I looked around for a moment remembering where I was at. I placed my hands against the wall to see if Chato was awake. His heart beat was steady and calm. I could hear his breathing and I nodded to myself. He was fine. I ran my fingers through my hair and felt exhausted. It must have still been dark. No guard had come yet so, I just lied back down.

When the sun was up, I was back in the cafeteria eating breakfast with my new associates. Digger was just smiling at me and seemed impatient about something. I knew what it was, and I was pretty sure he was about to jump me in front of everyone. I glanced over at Chato to see him eating his oatmeal in silence, but he looked my way, he looked away bashfully and gave a light smile. I arched a brow wondering what brought this expression on.

I looked back at Digger to see him glaring at Chato now and I sighed silently. Oh god. I glanced at Harley to see her suddenly smiling with excitement and flexing her eye brows as if she knew something.

"So tonight is movie night." Floyd said. "And I am votin' for Moana and you are all going to vote for it." he said. Harley scoffed and crossed her arms.

"No way, I want to see Tarzan." she said.

"I had my vote for the Lion King." Digger blurted and I arched a brow.

"You all get a movie night?" I asked and Harley gushed.

"Yes! Ever since we stopped Enchantress we get a few privileges." she said happily. I only nodded.

"I see." I replied. Waylon grunted.

"What I'd get to have your privileges though." he said lowly causing everyone to laugh now. Chato hid his embarrassment, and I felt it immediately in my chest. Why was I feeling him? I was curious now.

"Hey be happy, Waylon, I'm fucking to protect everyone." I said. Digger smirked.

"Yeah you are." he said and now Harley's eyes popped and she giggled furiously. Floyd nodded and Waylon grunted.

"Touché." he said and immediately, I felt immediate anger inside me, but I did not feel this. I glanced at Chato to see he had ducked his head and his jaw was tight and clenched. I looked down knowing I had upset him. What I wanted to know why the hell I felt some of his emotions. Could he feel mine? Could he feel the guilt I was feeling for upsetting a new associate? Even though his eyes were looking away from everyone, I could see his invisible eyebrows piercing together and he suddenly looked confused at something. He looked my way just as Harley hit my back.

"So what do you say, Brooky? Tarzan or Moana?" she asked. "It has to be kid friendly." And Tarzan is kid friendly? I looked at her and then Floyd and he was looked to be pushing me to decide with his eyes. I bit the inside of my cheek before smiling.

"Zootopia." I said and now everyone busted out laughing and I felt happy I made my new friends happy. But I could imagine it was not really trust I had with these people. I think they were testing me, and I actually wanted to prove myself to these insane bastards. The doors suddenly opened and a guard came in. I had seen him before. Rick Flag, I had heard Amanda call him behind closed doors.

"Change of plans everyone. Amanda has decided to let you guys go out tonight. Of course you'll be tracked. Now Amanda read through all of your requests for what you wanted to do when given the chance to leave, so since most of you guys are doing similar things you will be paired up and be responsible for one another." he said. Everyone around me seemed happy about this.

"About damn time. Who are we paired with?" Floyd asked. Rick just motioned his head at us.

"Floyd you want to see your daughter, and Croc you want to be in the sewers so you two can pair up. Harley you want to club and so does Digger and so you're both together. Chato, you can chill at your hood." he said.

"Now wait a minute!" Digger protested motioning his head at me. "What about Brooklyn, mate. She needs a partner and I vote myself." I glanced at Rick now seeing him shake his head.

"No. She's not ready and can't be trusted." he said. Now Digger groaned and Chato surprising sucked his teeth. I was not surprised, but I did want to go out.

"That's not fair." Digger growled with aggression standing from the table causing Rick to tense and reach for his gun.

"Calm down inmate." he threatened. I reached over the table and took hold of Digger's hand. He looked down at me, and I shook my head.

"It's okay, Digger. I will be fine by myself here." I said and I could see his chest tighten and his eyes were surprisingly feral. But a soft smile calmed him and he sat back and everyone seemed mildly taken back. Floyd looked from Digger with shock and then at Rick.

"I think if we don't let this maniac out every once in a while, she could become dangerous to everyone." he said and now I was surprised that Floyd was standing up for me. Harley raised her hand high.

"I agree! Brooky is one of us." she protested and Rick just looked from them and then at me.

"You know she's going to want something from you." he said. I thought about it for a moment before nodding.

"I guess I can let her stick the head in." I said standing up and moving toward Rick who looked suspicious and I stood in front of him. "Please take me to her?"

He just stared at me for a moment as if uncertain and then he nodded and gripped my arm lightly and pulled me from the room. I turned and looked at everyone else and winked raising the thumbs up to them. I had intentions of my own and I planned to get what I wanted.
