Alex was taken out of his cell and into the corridor. He had changed into an orange jumpsuit his arm again in a sling. He waited moodily for him to be taken to the centre. Alex looked annoyed when he saw Sam being escorted out of his cell, a white cast now on his left arm.
"What are you doing!" Alex mouth angrily at seeing Sam in orange overalls aswell. Sam tried to smile, but he had a temporary case of lockjaw and said nothing as he and Alex were taken out to a waiting paddy wagon. After they were put in side and belted up the guards shut the door and hopped upfront. Looks like they were the only passengers.
"Why are you always around and why are you here now?" Alex asked annoyed.
"Coincidence for most part" Sam said shrugging, "But I'm in here to help"
Alex looked sceptical.
"Why?! How does this make you look good!?" Alex asked hotly.
"Yeah because getting beaten up and going to jail really makes me look good" Sam said sarcastically.
"You're here because you want to be here!" Alex said aggressively as the van started up.
"I'm here because I need to be here… or you need me to be…" Sam said raising an eyebrow, not that it was noticeable through the black eyes.
"I DON'T NEED ANYONE!" Alex shouted furiously.
"Right, and I'm Mary Queen of Scots" Sam said sarcastically. He knew this approach would break him… or cause Alex to hate him for the rest of his life.
Juvenile Detention Centre
The press gathered around the outside hoping the catch a glimpse and a photo of Alex as he was brought in. They were sorely disappointed when the windowless van arrived and disappeared through the centre gates stoping in a garage, limiting the chance of a prisoner escaping and the press getting their photo.
The Van door open and a burly looking guard stood there.
"Welcome Convicts…" he began before being cut off.
"I resent that term," Sam said stirring up the guard.
"I'm sure you do… Deal with it!" The guard said with malice, "Your just like every other scumbag here."
"What, they think you escaped from the zoo too?" Sam replied, hoping this high risk approach would pay off. "Alex disagrees, he thinks it was the freak show"
Alex kicked Sam in the back of the leg. 'What is this idiot doing?' he thought to himself.
"Wow! You are just as dumb as everyone else who calls this place home" the guard said sinisterly.
"You want to marry me! Alex thought you loved him…" Sam said antagonising the guard.
"SHUT UP YOU JERK!" Alex yelled, grabbing Sam and hitting him several times in the head.
A horn blared and four guards came down and separated them, each looking mildly amused.
"I think you two just set a record. I don't think any one has been withdrawn from the main population, this quickly" The guard said with a smirk. "How does 2 weeks alone with only each others company sound?"
"I think I'm going to wet myself" Sam said dryly, getting an angry glare from Alex.
"Make it three!" the guard announced.
"Do you have Zachary's Disease?" Sam asked throwing the guard of balance.
"What!?" he asked taken aback.
"You know Zachary's Disease…" Sam pushed.
The guard just gave him a blank stare.
"Where you face looks ex-Zachary like your ass?" Sam asked concealing a grin.
Alex struggled to suppress a snigger, this idiot really knew how to annoy people.
"I certainly hope you two didn't want to meet anyone while here, We'll see what's left of you in 4 weeks" the guard said and motioned for them to be taken away. They were taken to a cell well away from the rest of the prison population. After being roughly shoved through the door, it was now just the two of them.
"WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?" Alex yelled rounding on Sam.
"You'll thank me on day." Sam said sitting on one of the two beds.
"You're an asshole!" Alex said angrily.
"Some one has to be… might as well be me" Sam said indifferently examining the bed.
"I'm going to make your life a living hell!" Alex said almost frothing at the mouth.
Sam just laid down and the bed and stared at the ceiling.
"Good luck with that." He said shutting his eyes and trying to sleep.
Alex took off one of his shoes and threw it and Sam, hitting him in the head.
"Could you cut that out, it's getting old," Sam said annoyed.
"YOU WANT ME TO CUT IT OUT?" Alex yelled annoyed. "IT WAS YOU THAT GOT ME STUCK IN HERE WITH YOU!"
Sam sighed heavily.
"Would you rather be in here or out there?" Sam asked.
"OUT THERE!" Alex shouted pointing in any which direction.
Sam squeezed the bridge of his nose, it was going to be along 4 weeks.
