A/N: Sorry for the late update; I've been stressed out this weekend. I'll be back on track soon, though.

PRISONER #02294

AGE: 53

SENTENCE: DOUBLE LIFE

CHARGE: MURDER, MULTIPLE

DATE OF BOOKING: 3/25/X4

Prisoner #02294 was a real mountain of a man, a white guy with greasy black hair and a 5 o'clock shadow. In the popular parlance, he was an example of the kind of prisoner that one would call "Bubba".

"All right, two of you guys I don't like!" said #02294. "I don't like you…" He pointed to Shadow, "…and I don't like you!" he pointed to Sonic. Continuing with his spiel, #02294 said: "Now, I'm only gonna say this one time…" He turned to Shadow, who had been rolling his eyes again, "…ONE MUTHAFUCKIN' TIME! ALL…EYES…ON THE SPEAKER!" Now that Shadow's gaze was re-focused, #02294 turned his attention back to the rest of the group and continued his speech:

"They call me Nasty Nick, kids. Nasty Nick…The Nightmare Man! In every prison, they got that one guy…the guy who's always steppin' to ya! Waitin' on ya! Well…guess what? I'm that one guy. I'm gonna use you! I'm gonna fuckin' abuse you! Think you're tough? Just look at all these guys here!" #02294 pointed to random lifers. "He's big, he's big, and he's big, too! But I'm the biggest of them all! Every fuckin' day, I'm out in the yard, I bench press 700 pounds. 700 MUTHAFUCKIN' POUNDS AND GOIN'! I got a black belt in kung fu, too!" Suddenly, #02294 turned his attention to Silver and approached him. "What, am I here to amuse ya, pretty boy? Heh!? You smilin'!?"

"No…I-I-I wasn't smiling…" said Silver.

"Somethin's funny!?" asked #02294. "Somethin's funny to ya!?"

"N-no…not r-really…"

"Wipe that muthafuckin' smile off your face, kid, or I'll take one of your pretty yellow eyes outta your face and squash it in my hands while you watch!" #02294 made a crushing motion with his hand in front of Silver's face. "You think I would?"

"Yes…"

"You're damn right I would!" #02294 turned to the rest of the crowd: "…and I'd crush all your muthafuckin' skulls together with my bare hands! One day, after you're done pumpin' iron out there in the yard, you're gonna strip down in your cell, and you're gonna put that towel on, and you're gonna go to the shower room, where they got five showerheads on the wall! Five muthafuckin' showerheads, and they shower 50 guys…"

During the speech, I noticed that Rouge – contrary to many of her fellow visitors – seemed quite enthralled with #02294. However, this only earned her the ire of the big man, who walked over to her.

"What's up with this!?" shouted #02294. "Why are ya lookin' at me like I'm a woman!? I'M A MAN! I stand at the urinal and piss with 50 other guys! 50 big, greasy, dirty muthafuckas just come from the yard! Ya wouldn't last one second with us, bitch! Now sit the fuck up and stop bein' funny, or I'll rip your fuckin' wings right outta their sockets!"

Rouge snapped out of her little trance and gasped. #02294 continued:

"Look at me! See, I'm a survivor! We're all survivors, 'cause we fuckin' killed people to get ahead…and here you come, rippin' people off by sellin' em broke-fuck games! Ya gotta be ready to kill somebody here! We took your shoes! How do you bitches feel about that!?"

Naturally, the kids answered with stuff such as "I don't like it."

"Well you think about that next time you're breakin' the muthafuckin' law!" shouted #02294. "See me? Remember that little old lady you tormented with that muthafuckin' glitchfest!? THAT WAS MY MOTHER! Know what else? I got twelve uncles! Ya know how big that makes my family!? Big, right? Well, go ahead! Rip my family off! Let me read in the muthafuckin' papers that one of my family members was ripped off by one of you muthafuckas and your bitch-ass games! I dare ya! I FUCKIN' DARE YA! 'Cause guess what? I'll be squattin' on ya, right here in this muthafuckin' prison!" He turned around and started to go back to the bleachers, but then he paused and shot back at the kids with a menacing look over his shoulder.

"We will eat you alive!" said #02294.

"That's right!" "Tell 'em, Nick!" said the other lifers. With that, "Nasty Nick" gave the floor to the next prisoner.

Judging by the looks on their faces, I could tell that Sonic and his friends feared #02294 the most out of all the prisoners. Again, though, Shadow and Espio didn't seem to be that fearful. Of course, things aren't always as they seem, especially in prison.

Criticism is gold. Negativity and nitpicking are pyrite.
