Trying to avoid eye contact with someone you lived with in a 6 by 8 cell and was a personal bitch to for three years isn't exactly as easy as it seemed. It was difficult to turn away avoiding Teddy's stare that had curiosity in it. I knew that there were probably a million questions running through his head, however I also knew that some of those questions are the same to the ones floating around in mine. Those are the ones I didn't have the answer too. I wanted to turn back to arguing with Mahone, at least it was more interesting than this. I wanted the man to continue to walk to where ever he was going, sadly I was his destination. I watched as he came up to me and more inmates came in from all sides wanting to see how the events will turn.

"So," he said, his voice was really deep and he stared at me with dark eyes, "we have a new prison guard."

All around us a mutter ricocheted through the yard and I knew that there was no where I could seek safety, even if there was I would have to will myself to stay still if I want to play authority to these guys.

"What's your name?" he asked.

"Blikely," I replied not daring to look at Teddy while saying it, "and you would be?"

"Lechero," the man boomed. "Why don't we…take a walk?"

A couple of inmates started to snicker but Lechero turned to them.

"Shut up!" The inmates immediately fell silent ducking their heads to avoid Lechero's glare. The leader turned back to me and then looked at me waiting for my answer.

"I'm fine," I replied, I knew that wasn't the best idea but I wanted to show that I wasn't afraid of him despite his 6'2 height. The mask on Lechero's face never moved, he only stared at me then shrugged. His crew seemed shocked that he had shrugged an answer like that off so easily but remained silent. I turned my back onto him and then looked at Mahone daring him to say something. I could hear Lechero and his men walk away and I knew that included Teddy. Teddy was attempting to climb the ladder to the highest point possible in the inmate pyramid and he knew that using Lechero was the only way to get there even if he was black.

Moments after the encounter with Lechero, the inmates started to part realizing that the drama was over. I started to head off when Mahone called out to me using my fake name. I kept walking ignoring his calls until I came to the watchman's room. I opened the door but Mahone closed it almost catching my fingers. I immediately took out my baton I was more than glad to strike this guy down so hard that even Colonel Escamilla would be impressed when he would find out. Mahone held his hands up in defense.

"I know where Seth is," he said again.

"Bullshit," I snapped. I had to be in here to get information on my friends and get the broken tracking device off my wrist, not listen to this asshole.

"Seth was captured and charged with abiding a fugitive," Mahone explained. "He was captured while trying to flee by boat along with Brooke but both were captured and separated."

I sighed. Brooke, where the hell are you? Why weren't you with David? David, are you even alive?

"He is alive," Mahone reassured as if reading my mind. "David is in a Supermax facility while he is awaiting trial, Brooke was already convicted and is in a woman's facility and Seth…"

I had enough of beating around the bush. The young man had done more for me than anyone had, even more than what Michael had done for me. I owed him everything.

"Where is Seth?" I demanded. "What have you done with him?"

Mahone leaned in and whispered, "He's here."

I flinched as if Mahone had struck me. I looked at the older man and could tell that he wasn't lying no matter how much my conscious protested that he was a liar. He was a part of whatever the man on the phone was part of.

"It's called the Company," Mahone explained as if again reading my mind. "The man on the phone was goes by the title General. He is behind all of this including the incarceration of Brooke, David, Seth and Tamara."

"Ta…tamara?"

Mahone nodded. "Last I heard she was holed up in some mental facility, the General managed to convince the court that she was delusional. After a couple nights she managed to escape and elude the police for ten days until they found her. As far as I know they put her back there but have her sedated twenty-four/seven."

I swallowed. This was all too much to take at once. I looked at Mahone daring me to tell me that he was lying but he wasn't and I knew that he wasn't.

"Where is Seth then?" I asked. "Where is he?"

Mahone looked around and then back at me. "He's in hiding with another man, both had been hiding for a very long time now, however the man has been hiding longer."

"Why is he in hiding?"

Mahone took in a breath. "Because the General placed a hit on him Jason."

The room suddenly got a lot smaller. It felt like I was having a difficult time breathing and I was shocked to hear what was happening.

"Why?" my voice was barely audible and Mahone had to lean in to head. "Why?" I repeated my voice turned angry.

"He knew that Seth was associated with you, he wasn't just some other person, he was a dangerous person and the General hates dangerous people aren't on is side. So he placed a hit; freedom and a hundred thousand dollars to whoever kills him and shows proof of death. Already people have tried to kill him, only two days after he lived in the open he went into hiding after someone tried to drop a chicken foot on him."

"A what?" I asked.

"It's the official sign for a fight, except in here it's a fight to the death. Someone has to die."

I was silent, clearly unsure of what to do or think. I then looked at Mahone.

"You better be telling me the truth or I'll swear to God I'll kill you myself."

Mahone held up his hands again. "I swear Jason, I swear that this is the truth." He took in a breath. "I swear on my son's life."

Son? This guy had a son and he was doing all the crazy shit he had pulled on me to countless others. But I nodded knowing that I believed him but still didn't trust him. Someone shouted something and everyone started to get up.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"It's suppertime," Mahone answered. "I have to go."

I watched as he joined Michael and…Bellick? The former prison guard didn't see me but I recognized him, I quickly ducked into the room before he got the chance too.

After supper the doorway to the yard was shut for good and the inmates were forced to stay inside. I was then transferred from the watch room to the tower. I walked the sidewalk following the daytime tower guard, he unlocked the door and we went up a spiral staircase to the top. Inside was a radio communicating to the other towers, a wooden chair, two boxes filled with bullets and a high powered rifle with a scope. He explained to me the rules and what to do if someone were to escape. In general it all ended with shooting whatever moved even if it was a rat. I nodded. He then left and I picked up the rifle, made sure there were bullets in it before standing at the edge. I looked to see the other night guard, he spoke only Spanish so I wasn't sure what he was saying at all when he spoke to me. I knew that this was going to be a long night.
