My meeting with Sucre could have gone better. I was hoping to get something out of him about Scofields plan. He did do one thing for me. He confirmed that there indeed was a plan. I was so lost in thought as I was making my way toward the exit that I smacked right into something. Or someone rather. There was a flurry of papers as we both stood there wondering what had just happened.
"I am so sorry!" I exclaimed as I knelt down and began gathering the papers. "No, I'm sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going." It was only then that I realized that I had run into another woman. I looked at the papers in my hand and realized that they were medical records. "So you're the doctor huh?" I asked as we both stood, arms overflowing with papers. The disheveled woman laughed and extended her hand out from beneath the mountain of parchment. "Dr. Sara Tancredi, and you are?" I situated the papers as best I could and shook her hand. "Lyndi Deacon." "So you're the one writing the paper on Lincoln Burrows?" She stated more than asked. "How'd you know?" I asked. "I overheard some of the guards talking about you." She said. I gave her a confused look before realizing who it had to be. "Bellick?" I asked. "The one and only." She said in such a way that told me that she and I had mutual feelings of disgust toward the man. I shook my head "Creepy." She laughed and looked at the papers in her hands before her eyes settled on the ones in mine. "So how badly did I screw your filing system up here?" I asked. "Oh, well they were alphabetized and separated by wing. I can fix it though." She answered tiredly. I felt terrible. I couldn't even guess how long it took the poor woman to situate all of those files, and then I come in and take her out! And here she was giving me a free ride out of accepting any responsibility for the catastrophe. So I had two choices. Do the right thing, or the easy thing, and since I hadn't been doing the easy thing lately I figured "Why start now?" "You've got like what? A couple hundred files here? The least I can do is help you get them back where they need to be. Plus, in this place, I'm sure you've got a patient or two that is going to need your attention." I offered. "Are you sure?" she asked. "Positive" I responded. "That would be great, thank you." She said.
Dr. Tancredi and I made our way to the infirmary where I was introduced to a nurse names Angela. "Ah, this is Ms. Deacon huh?" She asked smiling. I was thoroughly creeped out. "Oh God!" I exclaimed embarrassed. "Don't worry, Hun. There was a time when Bellick talked about Sara here too." Angela told me. "Oh yeah? So he doesn't anymore?" I asked. "Not since you've been coming 'round here!" Angela answered with a chuckle. I turned to Sara "So you should be thanking me then!" I exclaimed jokingly. She just laughed as she began starting in on the files. "So, what brings you to the lovely Fox River infirmary, Ms.Deacon?" Angela asked. "Call me Lyndi, please. As far as my business in your fine infirmary, earlier I decided that it would be interesting to take out the good doc here and destroy her nicely organized files here." I answered with a laugh. It was a slow day in the infirmary. It was completely empty with the exception of a couple inmates with the flu, both of whom were sleeping it off.
Sara, Angela, and I sat in Sara's office making idle chat about this, that, and the other thing, while we sorted files. "So Lyndi, why the Burrows case?" Angela asked. "A lot of reasons actually. I mean the man kills the Vice Presidents brother, and then claims his innocence. Even in light of a damning surveillance video. That says one of two things to me." I answered. "And that'd be what?" Angela inquired. "Either he's a desperate man grabbing at straws, or he didn't do it." I said simply. "You think he's innocent?" Sara asked surprised. "I'd love nothing more than to say that he is, but I've seen the evidence. It just doesn't add up." "Have you spoken with his brother?" Sara asked. "Scofield?" I asked. "Sara's got a crush on him. She's his stalker!" Angela teased. Sara's face was priceless. "I do not and am not stalking him! First off he is an inmate. Secondly, he's married!" Sara stated matter of factly. Hold the phone! Did she just say MARRIED? "He's married?" I asked in a small, surprised voice. "Uh-huh." Sara said. I was stunned, and hoped that I didn't show it. He had gotten married and my own sister neglected to tell me so. "If you want to know about Burrows, go to Scofield. He'd be able to help you." Angela said. "I'll keep that in mind." I answered distantly.
We had just finished sorting the files and Sara and Angela were walking me too my car. Just as we reached the visitors entrance when Sara's radio went off. "We have an inmate down, his throats been cut!" The voice rang from the radio. The three of us exchanged glances before Sara and Angela took off toward the yard. I followed. Becky was standing at the fence with some other staff members watching the commotion in the yard. Standing next to Beck I asked "What happened?" "A guard found Abruzzi with his throat cut." She answered, not taking her eyes off of the yard. I stood in silence as a helicopter landed in the middle of the yard. One thought plaguing my mind. "Things just got way more complicated!"
