Thanks for the kind reviews. And brody0113, who asked in one of the reviews what a fish was. LOL It's a term that convicts that have been in jail for a while call new convicts.

Locked up

Chapter five

Dean was taken to the warden's office.

"It seems our new inmate is already causing trouble." The guard said.

"What seems to be the problem?" The warden looked at Dean.

"First off my brother and I shouldn't even be here, we haven't done anything wrong. And second since we are here I need you to move my brother to another cell. He's in with some scum that wants to molest him."

The warden smiled.

"And what will you do for me if I move your brother?"

"What?"

"If I move your brother I'll need a favor from you."

Dean looked at him confused.

"I don't understand… what can I do for you?"

The warden leaned back in his chair and smiled.

"Well we were going to let you and your brother get a little taste of prison life before I came to you with my request, but since you've already seen what can happen here…." He hesitated for a few seconds before continuing. "I've been told that you have a trunk full of weapons, so I'm assuming you guys are professionals at what ever it is you do. I need you to do a couple of jobs for me and if you do I'll see that Marlin keeps his hands off your brother."

"What kind of jobs?"

"Oh…just a few burglaries. You bring the goods back to me and your brother isn't harmed. You don't…well let's just say your brother will pay dearly."

Dean couldn't believe what he was hearing, this couldn't be happening.

"You can't be serious?"

"Oh, I'm very serious. There are houses in the east side of town just ripe for the picking. You break in, bring back the goods to me, and your brother won't be hurt. You don't…and he'll pay dearly."

"How the hell am I going to do that? They probably have security alarms all over the place."

"I've been told that section of town has been told to evacuate due to a very bad gas leak in the area which will take roughly a week to fix. The whole neighborhood will be empty except for a security guard. But you don't even have to worry about him. He's on my payroll."

"Well if it's so easy why doesn't he do it? Or why can't you get one of the other cons to pull it off?"

"Because you're the only one who has a reason to do it and bring the loot back to me….your brother. You get caught, or even think of going to the cops… I turn Marlin loose on your brother, and it won't be a pretty sight I promise you." The warden leaned forward. "Now you think about what I told you today and then tonight we'll get started on our little adventure." He then looked at the guard. "Take him back to the others and let him think about it."

"What about my brother? You got to get him away from that jerk."

"Your brother stays where he is tonight. It will give you a little incentive to comply with my request. I'll have one of my guards tell Marlin not to touch him, but if you're not back by morning….well let's just say your brother will be in a world of pain."

"And what happens after I commit these burglaries?"

"After I have what I want I have no reason to hold you. You and your brother will be free to go."

Dean knew that would be highly unlikely.

Exercise Yard

Dean was taken to the exercise yard where the inmates were now congregating after breakfast. He immediately searched for Sam and found him surrounded by Marlin and his goons. Sam stood in the middle of them turning slowly in a circle ready to take any of them on if they made a move toward him. But when Dean ran over to him the crowd slowly began to break up, not wanting to take on both of them at the same time.

"You okay?" Dean asked as he pulled Sam away from the cons.

"Yeah" Sam was obviously relieved to see his brother. "What are you doing here? I thought for sure they were going to put you in isolation."

"We got a problem Bro." Dean said quietly.

"You just realized that?" Sam said looking around.

"No, I mean bigger then the mess we're already in."

Dean then explained about his visit to the warden.

"Look Dean, if you get a chance to get out of here take it, don't come back. Go to the state cops and tell them what's going on just don't come back here. I can take care of myself till help gets here."

"Do you know what they'll do to you if I don't come back?"

"If you come back we'll never get out of here."

"I can't just leave you here Sammy."

"Dean if you come back, we're both dead. They'll have no reason to keep us alive."

Dean knew Sam was right. If he did what the warden wanted there was no guarantee he'd let them live. He'd be better off if they were dead. But if he didn't come back when they expected him to, who knew what might happen to Sam. He glanced over at Marlin who was grinning over at them and glared back at him.

"Let it rest Dean." Sam said seeing the look on his face.

"I can't." Dean said as he walked over to Marlin, Sam reluctantly followed him.

"I'm only going to tell you this one more time. You touch, or even think of touching my brother…you'll answer to me."

"Hey, if I want me some fresh meat I'll take it."

Dean's fist flew up and connected with Marlin's face and soon the other convicts joined in.
