Michael, Abruzzi, Sucre, T-Bag, and C-Note were all standing together in the yard watching Tweener and Chel talking and laughing. Everyone had taken up calling Rachel Chel after a while except Tweener who called her Ray and Strawberry or Berry for short. He was the only one allowed to call her that and if anyone else tried to she would glare and ignore them. Mike and Linc also had a tendency to call her baby girl. She seemed annoyed by it sometimes but was fine with it for the most part.
"You know if she keeps getting closer to him we might have to bring him with us." C-Note said.
"That won't happen there's only one person that she's that close to." Michael told them
"And if you wrong?"
"I'll deal with it. It shouldn't be a problem."
"You better hope you're right because I will get out of here." T-Bag said
"We're almost there. I figure we need maybe two days to break through the pipe and we can leave that night."
"Alright, let me know the final date and time so I can arrange the transportation." Abruzzi said
"Alright."
They were on their way to PI when Chel fainted. The guards took her to the infirmary and brought her back ten minutes later. When she got in there everyone continued their work just passing concerned looks her way, but not talking. T-Bag was the one to break the silence.
"What was the fainting about? Couldn't handle the heat?"
"Not even close. I had cramps." Everyone but T-Bag got this answer.
"You fainted from some tiny cramps?"
"Have you ever had period cramps? Tell me how you feel once you have." She said pushing him out of her way.
"This is not good." Michael stated
"What do you mean papi?" Sucre asked
"You know how her attitude is on a regular day? Well multiply that by 20 and you got her while she's one her period."
"Great."
"Yeah so be careful the next few days and you should be fine."
"Thanks for the warning."
"No problem."
"I heard that Mike!" Rachel exclaimed
"What?"
"What do you mean what? I heard what you just told Sucre. That's none of your business or his so stop saying shit about it."
"Alright Rachel just calm down."
"Whatever." She said and contented herself with glaring at him while she worked.
"You were right."
"Yeah don't you just love dealing with teenagers?" Michael asked sarcastically
"Never had to."
"Just wait until you do."
"Sounds like a joy. But if they are anything like their mother I'll be fine."
"You really love her don't you Sucre?" Rachel asked reentering the conversation
"Yeah I do. She is amazing." Sucre spoke about her with love and pride in his eyes
"She sounds like it. I'll have to meet her someday. You better take care of her."
"Oh I will. That is one thing you don't have to worry about. She would love to meet you, you guys would get along great."
"Thanks."
"Rachel can I talk to you?" Michael asked her
"Yeah, sure." They walked into the corner hoping to gain some privacy
"What's going on with you and Tweener?"
"Nothing, we're just friends. Why?"
"I was just wondering. You guys seem to be getting close. If you ever feel the need to let him in on our plan than come to me first so we can discuss it."
"I will. I want to save Linc just as much as you do and I won't do anything to jeopardize the escape."
"I know. Love you baby girl."
"Love you too Mikey."
Rachel decided to sit by herself in during yard time which was highly unusual. She sat down with her back to the fence. She started to think of everything she had been through. Especially how she landed herself here. Rachel's husband wouldn't give her money to go to school and pay bills and things like that. She started to deal to make money to afford those things. She had been dealing for about six months when she realized that she needed more money. She started stealing cars and selling them to chop shops. After another six months she was caught in a stolen car with drugs in the trunk. She almost ran but then she thought about her choices. On one hand she could run and possible make it, but if she was caught then she would get longer then she would of normally. The second option was to give up and cooperate to get a shorter sentence and get away from her husband. That was the only way he would let her go was if she was going to be in prison. She chose the second option. She stayed and pleaded guilty earning her a ten year sentence. She figured if she was going to be in prison that she wanted to be in prison with Michael and Lincoln when Lincoln was executed so she would at least be able to spend some time with him and say goodbye. It seemed to her that going to prison was a common occurrence in her family lately. The judge and the warden of Fox River were reluctant about putting her in an all male prison but they agreed. She hadn't even thought about escaping until Michael brought it up. Some of the guys who were going with them should not have been in there. Like Sucre who just wanted to provide a nice, comfortable life for Maricruz. Lincoln who had done some wrong things in his life but he would never kill a man without reason. And Michael who couldn't hurt a fly much less perform an armed robbery for real. Tweener who wasn't going with them, but still didn't deserve to be there and take all the bull shit that is thrown at him. Then there were the people who should be stuck in there for the rest of their lives, like T-Bag and Abruzzi. People like them shouldn't be released back into society, especially T-Bag. The only reason they were going was because Abruzzi had the transportation and T-Bag would rat them out if they didn't. T-Bag fully deserved every consequence that was given to him in life. Abruzzi deserved a lot but not as much as T-Bag did. Speaking of T-Bag he was the only one stupid or brave enough to go up to Rachel at the time.
"What's fillin' that pretty little head o' yours with so many thoughts?"
"T-Bag I'm not in the mood to deal with this right now so just leave me alone please."
"Aww come on tell me what's going on."
"Theodore I am seriously not in the mood so don't push me."
"Who told you my name?" He growled
"No one. Michael isn't the only smart one in the family."
"No one else better find out about my name."
"Don't worry mums the word. Secret's safe with me."
"Good." He said and walked away
