Chapter 3

The next day, just three days before the execution, Bridget tried to aviod Michael at all costs. She was now angry, angry at her father for talking to the warden behind her back. Bridget was outside the infirmary and just looked around. How was she going to tell Michael that she was leaving and she would not be back after today?

In the meantime, Michael paced up and down the fields, deciding how he could get Lincoln out of solitary. Michael just sat down and thought about what Bridget had told him, that she might be leaving. Michael saw Bridget leaning against the fence. Michael then thought about what he did and Sara to discover in the process didn't help.

" I have to talk to Lincoln," Michael thought, " But I have to talk to Bridge first."

" You okay," Sucre said sitting next to him.

Michael just looked over to where Bridget was.

Sucre just looked where Michael did, " What's going on?" he asked, " That's the nurse."

Michael said nothing and got up and headed towards the fence where Bridget was. He had to find out why her father was there.

Sucre caught up with him, " What's with you?", he asked, " Does it have to do with her?"

" I can't talk to you right now," Michael said, " I have to talk to her."

" Who is she to you?" Sucre asked, " You've talked to her a lot."

Michael stopped, " She's an old friend," Michael said, " That's all you need to know."

" She knows?" Sucre asked, " About the plan."

" Not all of it," Michael said walking on, " She knows why, but she doesn't know how."

Neither one of them noticed that T-Bag was behind them and heard every word. Sucre stopped and Michael went on.

" Who knows the plan?" T-Bag asked Sucre, " The nurse?"

" She's an old friend," Sucre said, " Of Michael's"

" If she knows the plan," T-Bag said, " Then she needs to go away. I won't have anything go wrong."

" I think you should let Michael handle her," Sucre said walking back the other way.

Michael had stopped by the fence a few feet away from Bridget, he just looked at her, Bridget seemed mad about something.

" I should of never came here," Bridget said, " I did more harm then good."

" Hey," she heard.

Bridget turned only to see Michael, she turned away.

" I heard your father was here," Michael said.

Bridget didn't look at him, she just shook her head.

" Why?" Michael asked.

Bridget still didn't look at him, " He talked to the warden about either transferring you or keeping you here longer. He also wanted me to press charges against you, but I told him NO."

Michael seemed glad to here that news, he didn't think about that aspect though.

" Thanks," Michael said, " You finally decided."

Bridget then looked at him, " You've suffered enough, I don't want you to be in prison any longer than you have to be. Besides after today I'm leaving, so it doesn't matter what happens and you're welcome, but I can't stay here anymore."

Bridget then headed back to the infirmary, but stopped and went back up to the fence.

" I keep thinking that maybe somehow all this will be resolved in the next few days," Bridget said, " Maybe somehow Lincoln will be saved before you have to escaspe."

Michael noticed the CO's walking around.

" Lower you voice," Michael whispered.

" Opps," Bridget said, " Sorry."

" I don't think they heard," Michael said, " They're too far away."

Michael then grinned at her.

" Get away from her," they heard.

Bridget and Michael turned to see her father.

" On no," Bridget said, " Not again."
