Once Gary was finally allowed out of the tiny interrogation room, he felt even more drained. He dragged his feet as he was escorted back into the lounging room. He was surprised to see Alice still sitting in the same spot he had left her only she had her legs tucked underneath her and she was leaning on the arm of the couch, waiting for him to comeback—kind of reminded him of a puppy waiting for their owner to come back from the store. He wondered whether or not she was extremely lonely, especially for being in this place. He made his way over to her, moving out of the way of a barfing patient while keeping his eyes on her. She felt as if she was being watched so she glanced up and saw him—looking directly at her. She smirked a little as he walked over to her and sat down next to her, facing her and leaning his back on the other arm rest.

"Hi" he said, smirking at her. Her hazel eyes seemed to shine brightly at him. She pushed some of her hair behind her ears and turned her body to face him.

"Hi" she whispered.

"Why are you here?" he asked, wondering whether or not she was retarded and capable of having a conversation. She giggled and leaned in some.

"Cause I'm crazy" she whispered again, looking around to see if anyone was watching her.

"Really? Me too. What did you do to get in here?" Gary leaned in a bit too, curiosity getting the better of him. Alice giggled again.

"Oooh wouldn't you like to know?" she teased, quickly touching the tip of his nose with her finger and then sitting back some. "How about you? What naughty things landed you here, in Happy Volts?" Gary smirked. He liked to be teased.

"Oh I've done plenty in my day. My biggest yet was taking over Bullworth Academy, ruining the lives of countless students and crashing through the principals glass ceiling—what a ride!" he boasted. He was quite proud of actions and from the look on Alice's face—she was impressed. "So how long have you been here?"

"Too long. Three years I think. Been through lots of stuff here—murders, escapes, fires!" Alice beamed. "See those doors behind you?" she pointed, Gary turned his head. "A year ago a fire broke out in there that burned half of the building. To keep the fire from spreading, they closed those doors and locked it until the fire department could come and put it out. 12 patients and 3 white coats died in there and some say they are still back there, waiting for someone to open those doors." Alice had been smiling the whole time she had been talking, which made Gary smile. She didn't seem crazy, but then again he had just met her. Who knows what she was capable of doing.

"Did you set that fire?" he smirked. She cocked her head a bit in a teasing manor.

"No. Of course not. Why would you ever suspect me?" she said, batting her eyelashes. Gary laughed. "Hey, I've got an idea! Let me give you a tour of the place since obviously you're going to be here awhile?" she offered, standing up and holding out her hand. Gary hesitated a moment, thinking about it, but then took her hand. "Ok!'

"Of course you kind of know what this area is, right?"

"Yeah sorta" he admitted.

"Well this is the "game" room. Cards are in the corner there, books, movies, mags, and stuff to the left of the TV, arts supplies, toys and plushies to the right of the TV. Every Wednesday and Friday we have to watch the local soap opera "Oceans Apart" or else Maurice over there will throw a tantrum." Alice pointed to a very tan, built man with no hair who was sitting on the couch watching his soap opera in his fashionable straight jacket. "He used to be Bullworth's most prized heavy weight champion until he was jumped on the street by a bunch of Bullworth preps and nearly bludgeoned to death with crochet mallets."

"Vicious."

"I know." She beamed. "Now if you're looking for anything more interesting than this stuff, " she motioned towards the books and magazines "I know someone who can get you the finest "entertainment" magazines." She smirked. Gary raised an eyebrow. Alice pulled him towards the doors that lead to the outside. Once they were outside she pulled him to an immediate right and towards the part of the yard that was near water. The sound of rushing water made Gary have to pee, but he held it in.

"Most of the people out here are smokers, minus two—Nancy and Floyd" she said, pointing to an old woman with half of her hair missing and a short, Arabian man with one slipper on. "Will is usually the main cigarette dealer and can be found behind the shed over there. Also there is a ladder that goes to the roof of the shed, but I advise you not to try to jump from the roof and over the fence because you will be impaled and killed. Trust me. J-man attempted last November and was not only impaled, but basically electrocuted from the inside out. Kinda funny though, seeing someone impaled like that." She giggled.

They strolled around the yard. "So tell me what you're in here for. I told you. Now it's your turn." Gary demanded, but smiled about it. Alice teasingly looked up at him. "Uhmm not yet. We still have places to go!" she grabbed his hand again and led him back into the asylum. She showed him where they were to eat, to sleep and anything else she could think of. However, they were soon interrupted by a male nurse with dreadlocks in his hair. "Alice. Time for your treatment" he said, grabbing her arm and pulling her away. Gary stood there and watched as she was lead into a small room. She glanced back at him with a smile before the door was shut. To him, she didn't seem all that crazy, but she still wouldn't tell him what she was in for.

He decided to head back to his cell and relax. As he walked into his little room, he realized how crummy it was. Floor tiles missing, bars on the window and his bed being a crooked mattress and box spring with no sheets. He decided to redecorate a bit. He shoved the mattress and box spring all the way into the corner and up against the wall that was separating his room with the next. As he stood up, he leaned his hand against a portion of the wall and it crumbled and fell down into the next room. It wasn't very big, but it was big enough for him to try to get a peek into.

He couldn't see very much into the room for it was dark. Someone must have placed a sheet or something over the window to keep the light out. Curious, he tried to see if any other part of the wall would crumble, but before he could attempt this—a male nurse walked by and bickered at him.

"And what do you think you're doing?" questioned the fat, pudgy man who could barely fit into his white, drawstring pants. Gary looked towards the nurse and gave him a cocky look. "Just rearranging a bit. Making it feel homey…" he answered as he sat down on his mattress and leaned up against the wall that had crumbled. "…you know, since I'll be staying here for awhile." The nurse rolled his eyes. "Yeah kid. You're gonna be in here for the rest of your godforsaken life so I'd get real comfortable if I were you."

"Well if I'm going to get comfortable here, what can I do?" he questioned as he faced the man.
"Kid, if I were you—and I'm thankful I'm not—I'd off myself before I had to stay in this place anther day!" said the man, honestly as he chuckled; his belly kept moving after he had stopped laughing. Disgusted, Gary got up and stood on his mattress. "If YOU were ME, you' d be three times smaller than you are fat man! I would never be caught DEAD looking like a cow about to give birth!" he said, pointing and smiling brightly. It felt good to be evil again.

"How DARE you, you little bastard! I'll kill you!" he yelled, but one of the other nurses heard the commotion and grabbed him before he lunged into the room, but called for reinforcements because Gary wasn't kidding about the man's size. "You know, if I were YOU" paused Gary as he crossed his arms, "I would off myself too! Being the size of a baby whale really is just too much for me!" Gary saw the nurse's face get beat red with anger. "I'll strangle you're puny little neck!" he yelled. Gary laughed hard. "Rather than strangling me…put your massive hands to some good use! EAT yourself to death!" At that moment, the other nurses couldn't hold back the large man and he came stopping in. In Gary's mind he was screaming SHIT!
