Have To Fight the Truth

Chapter 4

It was nearly 11 O'clock in the morning on the grounds of Fox River. Bridget was on one side of the fence talking to Michael when her father came up. Matt Casron was a stern looking man, 5'11 and looked very angry. Michael always remembered Mr. Carson as a stren and busy man and who wouldn't be being the C.E.O of a major construction company.

" You stay away from my daughter," Mr. Carson said.

" Dad, Michael is on the other side of the fence," Bridget said, " He can't hurt me."

" Come to your senses," Mr. Carson told Bridget, " Look what he did to you?"

" Mr. Carson," Michael said, " I would never hurt her."

" Oh ho," Mr. Carson said holding up Bridget's wrist, " Look what you did to her."

" Please," Bridget said taking her hand out of her father's grasp, " That's enough."

" Thank god you're leaving here," Carson said, " I can protect you then."

" I can take care of myself," Bridget said.

Carson then looked at Michael, " When you get out of here you'll always be known as an ex-con," he said, " Stay away from Bridget."

" Dad stop it," Bridget shouted, " You can't tell me what to do and when I leave I'll still feel the same way and I am not pressing charges against Michael and legally you can't."

The warden then came up behind her father.

" Stop all this shouting," Pope said, " Mr. Carson please leave and let Bridget get back to work."

" Not until I know this manic is here longer," Carson said.

" That's not you're decision," Pope said, " Bridget didn't want to press charges."

Bridget began to walk away, but than stopped.

" All of this shouting isn't getting us anywhere," Bridget said, " This situation hasn't changed the way I feel, but I have to say this."

" Oh no," Michael thought, " Bridget don't"

" Dad, I love that you care so much, but don't antagonize someone else who cares or who I care about," Bridget said.

" Bridget I know that," Carson said.

" I love him," Bridget said walking away backwords, " And nobody is going to tell me I can't."

Bridget then ran away and back into the infirmary, leaving all, especially Michael is complete awe.

Michael breathed a sigh of relief, he thought for a moment Bridget was going to expose the plan. Mr. Carson just went on to the parking lot.

" Scofield," Pope said, " You can talk to your brother, but it has to be now and only for a few minutes."

" Thank you," Michael said.

One of the guards just led Michael to where Lincoln was, how was he going to explain to Lincoln how Bridget found out about his plan. Lincoln seemed glad to see Michael. The CO only stepped a few feet away.

" What's going on?" Lincoln asked.

" First of all," Michael said in a low voice," I have an idea to get you out of here and into the infirmary. Second of all Bridget's leaving."

" She is?" Lincoln asked, " What if she tells?"

" She won't," Michael said, " I trust her and I think her father had something to do with it and something else."

" You," Lincoln said, " Bridget has always been fond of you. That's why she's leaving."

" I know," Michael whispered, " Now I know for sure, she told me."

" She did?" Lincoln questioned, " How did she find out about your plan?"

" She's nosy," Michael said laughing, " And she wanted to help and Bridget said how she felt right in front of her father. To top it off no additional charges."

" That's a relief," Lincoln said, " Even though what you did, Bridget might of. How's it going otherwise?"

" The way is almost finished," Michael said.

" Times up, " Bellick said coming up, " Do you feel better now?"

" Thanks boss," Michael said ," Knowing my brother is okay makes all the difference."

Michael then left the area with Bellick behind him, Bridget was leaving for good, but he knew she would never tell.

The truth was hard to fight, and it seemed the biggest truth Bridget fought was her feelings for him, notthe escape plan, but that was hard to fight too.
