"April?" a kind voice said as the morning hues of sun swept fire swept across the prison walls."Are you awake?"

"Veronica?" April replied cautiously. "Is it you?"

"Of course not dear, I said that was impossible." Dr. Roselyn Waters stated coldly. "You must forget about her."

"She's my sister, I can't!" April said her voice cracking. "What are you doing?"

"My job" Dr. Waters approached the girl; her eyes looked on the girl like a predator to its prey. Having backed the girl into a corner she pulled a needle from her lab coat. The liquid inside the syringe was yellow, and appeared to be thick.

"Don't, please." April whimpered. She was terrified of needles. She had endured them on many occasions as a child. The memory was still frightful to her now. "What do you want?"

"Your every secret" Dr. Waters said with a smile as she injected the syringe into the girls elbow. "And I'll soon have my wish."

"George!" Veronica said with a start. She had just woken up. The cop sat in the corner like a child would have. Next to him laid a pile of prison slop, what passed as breakfast in this place.

"I wasn't allowed to leave until you woke up" he stated coldly. "Enjoy it."

"Wait, I wanted to ask you something." She said, surprising herself a little.

"Not now" George said coldly, the door shut behind him.

"Nothing to do, nothing to see, was this even life?" Veronica was still overwhelmed from the previous night's happenings. She sat idly in the corner of her padded room.

When April woke up again she saw Dr. Waters sitting on a bunk with a notebook in hand. She sat there drumming her pen against the paper.

"Finally, it took long enough for you to come to." Dr. Waters scoffed. "In any case, please sit down."

"What do you want from me?" April said, still unsure about this woman. She really couldn't remember what had happened in the past few days.

"I'm going to ask you a series of questions, I want simple honest answers, do you understand?" Dr. Waters said sternly.

"Yes" Her voice quivered.

"Good, than let us begin." Dr. Waters brushed a lock of her crimson mane from her face. "How old are you?"

"I'm 16." April said shyly.

"What is your name?" She continued. Taking notes as the girl answered.

"April Marie Lilly" April looked at the floor. She hated being questioned; it made her feel like she was in trouble. To be honest this woman scared her, she couldn't understand what this woman wanted or why she was here.

"What a beautiful name" Dr. Roselyn Waters commented with what appeared to be a small smile, "Where are you from?"

"Santa Carla" April continued to answer. "What did she want with this information?" she thought to herself.

"You're already, frightened. Young April, if you do as I say, when I say, without question perhaps you'll get to live a few years longer. Until tomorrow, be prepared for this. I need more from you yet." Dr. Waters said as she left the girls cell. She was furious, this girl can't be 16, and she certainly doesn't act like it. 10, this girl has the mental capabilities of a 10 year old.

The Doctor walked down the halls of the prison, the inmate's coward in their cells just at the sight of her. Her job here was simple, to make these sorry excuses for human beings complaisant. Private prisons were not nearly as heavily regulated as state or federal ones. She had full control of this place. If she felt an inmate disobeyed with the simple rules of her prison, they went to her asylum, for her to do as she wished with them. This girl intrigued her.

"How did she ever meet that whore she came in with?" Roselyn thought. "They are quiet an unusual pairing." She entered her office to do paper work, but her curiosity got the best of her. She turned on the camera in the solitary confinement cell. She watched the girl inside, hoping for some excitement. None such excitement was to be had.

"Thomas, are you there?" Roselyn called over the walkie talkie. "I need you to report to my office immediately.

"On my way now." Thomas replied.
