Chapter 38: Visiting Day
Linda was sitting in her cell, she had traded sex for cigarettes and she was sneaking a smoke. She heard footsteps walk up, and she put out her cigarette as smoking wasn't allowed in jail. "Cyrus, you git a visitor." The guard told Linda. She walked out of her cell and down the hall, she walked into the visitor room. She looked and saw her lawyer Skip Finnegan, she sat down and picked up the phone "Yeah?" she spoke into the phone "You might be getting released early, there's a mothers against child predators group protesting over your case, and since your armed robbery was a first offense the judge is talking about giving you house arrest instead of staying here." Skip told Linda, her eyes brightened up "Really? That's great news, do what you can to get me out of here!" Skip nodded "Don't count your chickens before they hatch, nothing's concrete yet." Linda nodded as she understood. The guard walked over to her "Ok time's up." Linda hung up the phone and stood up, she walked back into the hallway and toward the mess hall.
Linda walked into chow hall and got in line, she picked up her tray the jail she was in still used the steel prison trays with six compartments in it, she walked up to the cook who slopped a pile of beans and rice on her tray, he put a slice of bread onto the tray "Next!" he shouted. Linda took her tray and took a seat, a skinny black girl who was about 15 sat beside Linda, she looked strung out on crack, her hair was a mess and she had big teeth. "Hey, I'm Monique." She told Linda. Linda didn't say a word as she ate her meal, Monique was offended at being ignored. She grabbed Linda's bread and started eating it "You too good to talk, I'll just eat your shit. Everything you got belongs to me now." Linda took a bite of her beans, she sat her spoon down on the table. She grabbed her tray and stood up, she grabbed the sides of the tray with both hands on each side and raised it up over her head. The tray come down hard on the top of Monique's head, Linda hit her repeatedly on the head with the tray. The guards ran over and grabbed Linda, they had her subdued and tased her. The guards drug her out of the chow hall and to the warden's office.
Linda sat in the office, waiting for the warden to come in. He walked in he was a tall handsome man who was in his late 30's, Linda found him attractive the minute she seen him. He took a seat at his desk and looked at Linda "So, you're a fighter. That stunt you pulled in the mess hall gave that girl 30 stitches." He looked Linda in the eyes, she was pretty for a young girl. He stood up and walked over to her he sat on the desk right next to her "You're beautiful, I read your file. The system screwed you over, maybe we can work out an arrangement so you won't get in trouble." He stood up and unzipped his pants, Linda started sucking. When he finished Linda stood up, they locked lips for a passionate kiss. They broke it off and he looked at her "Get outta here baby." Linda turned around and started walking out he smacked her ass as she turned around, she turned her head back at him and smiled.
On her way down the hall toward her cell she was stopped by 6 black girls the biggest one was Linda's height but bulkier she grabbed Linda by her hair "So you like beating up black girls? We'll show you!" she punched Linda in the stomach four times. Linda fell to her knees, where another black girl kicked her in the side of the head.
