Ch 8 It Takes a Thief and a Switch

Author's Note: This is Shawn talking to Evan after Shawn and Gus talk to the tattoo gang. Gus goes and stands by a guard. Shawn makes a comment about what a baby he is and walks away towards Evan.

"Evan, why didn't you tell us that your "friends" were actually your friends, once upon a time?"Shawn asked Evan after he and "Mozzie" had left the tattoo group.

Evan sighed "I used to be in their gang, but I'm getting out soon and I want to stay out! I've changed. I just want to get out of here and start a new life."

"Well, that's very Robert Wagner of you, but we can't help you, dude, if you don't tell us everything from now on," Shawn replied.

Evan sighed again."Okay, just tell me that you can help me".

"Will do, but new plan. You're going to have to escape…"

Flash forward to later in the afternoon in the courtyard…

"Shawn, "Gus hissed."Shawn!"

Shawn turned away from his game of poker."What ? Do you want to play? Because we just started a new game, I'm sure Tough Guy can deal you in, "gesturing to the buff guy standing up, who nodded his assent.

Gus took a double look at Tough Guy, as Shawn deemed him. He was at least 6' 5" with a shaved head, which of course was covered by tattoos.

"I don't think so, Shawn."

Shawn shrugged."Your lost. Besides," Shawn leaned in forward, towards the poker group, "He has a terrible bluff and all I have to do is give him the look", Shawn did a stare that resembled Henry Spencer's interrogation stare," and he caves." Shawn held up his hand."It's okay, Mozzie. I already knew about your crush on the wrinkly cafeteria lady in 5th grade. What was her name again?"

" Mrs. McConnell," Gus said before he could stop himself.

Shawn just smiled "See what I mean?Now boys,I would love to play another game, but it seems that my local drug dealer and I have a previous engagement." He gathered his winnings-cigarettes-and nodded his farewell.

"Dude, what are you going to do with all those? You don't even smoke!"

"No, but I was feeling generous and thought I could win some for charity," Gus glared at Shawn. Shawn sighed."Relax,it's the currency here. That and drugs. You wouldn't have some morphine in that orange jumpsuit would you…?"

Gus only gave Shawn another glare.

I want it to be a chapter of its own and I didn't want you all to have to wait soo long for a chapter. Review please and tell me what you want to see in the next chapter. Pineapple to the first person who guesses why the chapter is named why it's named.
