Chapter two
It was weird having a conversation with a inmate, her hands lightly brushed over the paper work in sick bay; Sara was outside dealing with injured inmate.
Emma was quick to her feet as she glance to the CO on guard, her eyes finding Sara's, "Do you mind if I get some air?" her voice soft feeling like her whole day was getting crazier.
Sara rolled her eyes, she wasn't sure why she put up with it, but quickly waved her hand towards the door, "Just let a CO know where you're going." Sara added as Emma quickly left the ward, she wanted to find her, even if it was only for a few moments, a few seconds. She walked down; she knew she had to go passed A wing.
Katt was being escorted to Sick bay for her pill; she hated the idea of this, giving the CO's an open chance of getting some without the worries of an unplanned pregnancy. Katt glanced over to the man Patterson; he seemed like one of the good guys as he only put hand cuffs on her to take her sick bay.
"So, how did a girl like you go wrong?" he asked as they made there way to B- wing, Katt didn't know what to say, her whole life people asked that question, well most the people.
Katt glanced up at him, her eyes didn't seem to focus, but her mind kept screaming the same thing, I shouldn't be here.
"Oh you know the same old, sex drugs and rock and roll..." her voice light, but her heart felt heavy beating in her chest.
Patterson sighed, "Well, remember, if anyone gives you trouble, talk to me..." his words careful, but Katt understood them perfect.
"I doubt they'll be any of that..." her voice cut off seeing the sick bay come into view.
Sara looked up seeing the lowest case she needed to deal with right now. She sighed standing up. She remembered Emma still had those pills.
"Just wait here. Your pill will be here shortly." She glared a bit.
Katt glared in return. Katt hated ginger's - hated them like milk and Oreos.
"Okay." She said after a minute. Emma had rarely giving Katt her pill anyways. Sara just usually handed it to her and she was back in her cell. As normal,
she took a seat on an empty bed and casually swung her feet feeling all the other inmates looking at her.
A wing was warmer then ever. There was a lot of noise going on, Emma knew better and to stay away but she was curious. A trait she and Katt always got into a lot of trouble with. Curious Emma and Katt always got into the little troubles to big troubles. She sighed. Her eyes got wide seeing the guards rushing around the halls quickly.
Bellick was quick to push Emma out of the way while she spun on her heels. "What the hell!" she called after watching him running in the opposite direction she was walking.
"Bradley!" Emma repeated as he rounded a corner and was gone from her sight.
Emma kept getting a feeling she should follow him, she shouldn't be walking this way until she saw him standing there with keys.
"Why hello nurse, nice to see you..." T-Bay's face bright as if he gotten a present, a nice treat.
Emma swallowed hard stepping back, her mind working over a plan, groin stomach nose, she repeated in her head trying keep focused.
"Now, now don't be scared, I promise to be gentle..." his smirk getting bigger as other inmate was behind him.
Emma slowly stepped back before turning into a run.
Sara had to have Katt in the sick bay, Patterson left, Katt wish he didn't.
"Do I have to wait here, I mean if you can't do your job!" Katt snapped while Sara felt like pulling her hair out.
"Look nurse Winifred has your pills; I don't, so just please shut up!" Sara snapped looking to the door, she listened to the radio of CO, "INMATES have compromised lockdown and breached A-WING. A-WING is shutting down!"
Sara looked around to all the inmates, one getting off his bed looking excited.
"It's popping off in G-POP!" his eyes glancing over Sara.
"GET HER! SHE IS MINE!" T-Bag pointed and started running toward her with his fast like moves.
Emma ran after going to turn a corner her shoulder caught it and he arm throbbed. She almost tripped and rubbed her shoulder. The foots steps grew closer to her. She looked at the door it read Exit only.
She started panicking her voice was close in her throat.
"Well Well." T-bag smirked.
"Step off T-Bag!" Another voice entered Emma's ears. Her eyes had been closed tightly.
Katt stood up casually.
All the male inmates were getting into a mood themselves. Drugs. And A-Wing was closing down making access to B-Wing near impossible.
The C.O. turned to speak to Sara for one second.
"How is it going in B-Wing?!" A C.O. asked over the radio.
A black inmate held a needle shank to the C.O's neck. "You tell 'em it's all good." He glared.
"All is good in B-Wing... All ... Is fine." The C.O. spoke before the inmate knocked him out.
Sara took a deep breath before rushing into the office locking herself in, her heart pounding as she reached for the phone.
Katt felt a surge of adrenaline rushing through her as she turned and rushed out of B wing, she knew Emma too well to think she would just walkout in a riot.
Katt heard the noise in sick bay ignoring it, she was going to find Emma, her mind clocking a plan together, she didn't know much of this prison, it was still her first day here so it wasn't much to work with.
Emma quickly snapped her head around to see Bob, he was with an inmate she never seen before, but the voice she knew right away.
"Hey well isn't in the sink with a rookie CO!" T-Bag's voice getting even more excited. "We can share the Nurse and the rookie." his voice commanding.
"I don't think so..." Lincoln spoke confident while glancing around to Bob, "uncuff me!" his voice glancing to Bob, he was now panicking.
Emma kept still it was one of them moments she wanted to know if anyone was going to help her.
Lincoln glanced to her hand holding her shoulder, he knew that hand, "Doc you're going to be ok, I won't let them hurt you..."
Bob had now uncuffed Lincoln, but Emma wasn't quick to trust.
"Bob, do something!" Emma snapped trying to remember her self defence.
The adrenaline pumped faster and harder into her body. She was still cuffed but loosely. She'd manage. At least she had a small sense of balance. Her eyes scanned around listening to all the sounds, the buzzing, and the foot steps.
Lincoln was standing in front of Emma and Bob with a dark expression.
"Well ... I was gonna be nice and share but since ... You won't wanna..." T-Bag said cocking his head off toward his boys then to Lincoln they all advanced.
T-Bag and Lincoln got into a fight, the yelling, and sound of cracking made Emma shudder.
Bob yelled a scared yell and took off but one of T-Bag's crew caught him.
Emma was panicking. She made a dash for it quickly, but tripped over her feet.
"You always were really clumsy." A voice spoke.
Emma glanced up staring to Katt, it wasn't like she wanted this to happen, but her hand reached up.
Katt was quick to pull Emma to her feet, now she had a closer look at her, she had changed a lot over the years. He puppy fat was gone leaving behind subtle curves, her hair pulled back into a ponytail Katt quickly pulled her into a hug.
"Katt we need to get out of here!" Emma snapped before trying to remember this was her friend.
"Emma, I mean, yes leaving good..." Katt quickly glanced around the area, but Emma looked panicked again. Her eyes glancing behind her, "I have to back!" Emma snapped remembering Lincoln fighting off all those men.
"No Emma it's not safe, I need to get you out of here!" Katt snapped trying to pull Emma away.
"WE NEED TO GO BACK!" Emma yelled pulling Katt in the direction they came.
"EMMA! They will kill you!!" Katt pulled back with a strong enough pull she fell back and Emma came crashing down on top of her.
"Oh god my kidneys!" Katt stated in the best painful tone ever.
"I'm not that fat!" Emma jumped off her quickly.
The sounds of people yelling were getting closer to them. "There they are!" The Southern accent draw closer.
"Come on!" Katt pushed herself up grabbing her hand she pulling Emma into a quick run.
Emma quickly rushed after Katt, but something didn't feel right, "Katt, was you in sick bay?" Emma asked quickly, but heart was pounding harder in her chest.
"Yeah, why does it matter?" Katt snapped trying to keep Emma running but her efforts were pointless as Emma stayed behind her. "Emma, I need you out of here!" Katt snapped while grabbing Emma's arm pulling forward again.
"No, Sara she's there, I just, Katt we can't!" Emma's voice panicked even more, but Katt rolled her eyes.
"Emma, I don't give a damn about her, I need you out of here..." her voice strict, her eyes glazing over, "I know what these men are capable of, and you suck at self defence!"
"Hey! I had five years of self defence!" Emma commented darkly, her eyes glazed over while rubbing her shoulder.
Katt laughed at her with a serious expression. "Oh please." She replied quickly glancing around them. She didn't want to stand in one place too long.
Emma opened her mouth to start talking but yelling got closer. "We can't leave Sara!" Emma said again her head was starting to ache. She was sweating it was getting extremely hot.
Katt glared. "NOW!" She snapped pushing Emma into the narrow stair case.
Emma lost her step, feeling herself about to tumble down them.
Emma grabbed the banister stopping herself falling, but her shoulder popped sending a sharp pain rushing through Emma's arm as she screamed out in pain.
"What you trying to kill me now!" Emma snapped holding her shoulder feeling like it was on fire.
Katt didn't want to stop moving as she lightly pressed her hand against Emma's back, "Seriously Emma, that man, his not good, I can feel it, now just get your ass out of here!" Katt hated to yell at Emma, she couldn't believe after all their time apart they were meeting again in this way.
"Katt, what about you?" Emma's voice was small, but Kat eyes kept looking forward.
"I'm fine, I've gone through worse." Katt quickly glancing behind them, the shouting was gone, but Katt didn't trust it.
"Just get to a exit, don't look back!" Katt snapped before looking out the door quickly to the hallway. "I'm gonna keep you safe, but you need to run..." Katt now rushed out the door locking it behind her.
Emma stood on the stairwell, she knew the exit, but she didn't want to leave Katt, she turned banging on the door but it wouldn't open, she had to find a way, but so far she just needed to get out of the building.
Katt listened to the banging for a long moment in her head. It echoed back louder and louder each time. She took a deep long breath. Counting to six she bolted toward the doors and the foot steps got louder again following her. She jumped over a fallen down desk. She was running toward A-Wing. Even thought she had no clue.
Emma continued hitting on the door. "KATT LEMME OUT RIGHT NOW!" She demanded. "What?" A voice asked. Emma screamed turning around her back against the cold steel. She was facing Lincoln again. The lump in her throat got big fast.
Emma froze on the spot, the man in front of her was bleeding, his throat looked red, but she kept still. "Look I know self defence!" she bit her lip before moving slowly away from the door, her shoulder still throbbing like mad.
"I don' want to hurt you lady!" he said holding a hand up, Lincoln didn't really like the fact she was scared, but it's what he wanted, did he?
Emma kept taking deep breathes, her hand trembled as she slowly stepped back up the stairs, "That's nice and all, but I..." she went to step up backward, but her foot missed making her slip down the stairs grabbing the banister but her shoulder popped again making her scream.
Michael was making his way back to A-wing when he collided with her, well she collided into him.
Katt didn't see the man until it was too late crashing into his side they both tumbled to the ground.
Michael's blue eyes slowly found her brown as she quickly got to her feet.
"What are you doing here?" Michael snapped while quickly getting to his feet, his voice a snap, but her stare was hypnotic.
"I'm sorry, but if you can't tell there is a riot, and I don't want to be gang raped!" she glanced around them; Michael wasn't sure how to take this looking around.
"Just watch where you're going…"
Lincoln jumped a bit at the sudden amount of screaming. "Are you okay?!" He went to help her.
Emma tried moving out of the way but her shoulder was burning with a passion of hate.
Lincoln pushed her into a standing position and backed off, but Emma tried to claw at him but he moved to fast. "Get away from me!" Emma screamed. Lincoln stepped back holding his hand up in process.
"I don't want to hurt you lady!" Lincoln yelled back finally.
"Seriously that is it?" Katt asked with dark eyes, carefully she backed up against a wall. It wasn't that she was scared. She just preferred not to become a sex toy for this inmate even if they looked ... Nice enough.
Michael continued to stare. He then stepped back.
"Hey... The fish!" One of T-Bag's crew yelled to the small patch of them that took off to look for other tail.
Katt's eyes looked horrified.
"two little fish" They laughed, moving in slowly the two men looked not that dangerous, but it wasn't that was making Michael nervous.
"Stay by me, we can take them both down!" Michael commanded while Katt stared up to him in disbelief.
"you have got to be shitting me..." Katt's fist tighten together, she just had to remember she's fought off bigger men by herself.
"Do be stupid!" Michael snapped trying to keep Katt out of the danger, but it didn't make sense a complete stranger would try and protect her.
"Look just know I can take care of myself!" she snapped getting ready to fight.
Lincoln step back again keeping eye contact with Emma, her hand held tight on her arm as she glanced down to her skirt, "please, don't rape or kill or both of the above me..." her eyes welling up as she slowly tried to move up the stairs.
"I promise you, I swear I am not going to rape or kill..." Lincoln started watching her carefully.
"Or all of the above me..." Emma added while she kept still, her shoulder was getting worse every time she tried to move it.
"Yes, I want to help you, it's not safe in here..." Lincoln added carefully moving towards her.
Michael took a step back in defence. His eyes tried to go dark; Katt was staring at him for the longest time before the sound of cracking took her back to the two men. She leaped off the ground and grabbed one around the neck bringing them both to the floor one of them cracking his head off the floor. Grabbing Katt's hair he forced her face into the cold stone.
The second guy looked at Michael and smirked, Michael kept his eyes still stepping back.
Emma stepped back in defence but remember what had happened the last time she went to step back. She didn't move.
Lincoln moved closer to her casually. It could feel the blood on his sweated shirt itching, he ignored it. "I'll get you to a safe please. But you have to trust me." He finished his eyes were honest something you normally didn't see in an inmate.
"Okay." Emma whispered after a second. She had no other choice. She was either going to get killed or raped by someone else. So she'd take her chances.
Lincoln held his hand out for her to take.
Emma took Lincoln's hand with her good hand, he was gentle, her hand was soft well taken care off as he studied her features, her eyes a tropical green mixed with blue, her lips perfectly formed, but most of all her heart shaped face watching his.
"You're bleeding." Emma said slowly, but her shoulder kept her face looking tense, her eyes quickly scanned over his, they were a light green time had made them flat, but she could tell he was one of them odd people.
"I can deal, I can get you to the fire exit, just stick by me..." he said letting her hand go, Emma nodded in response.
Michael was quick now to punch the second man, it was a quick move right to the nose making him step back quick grabbing his face.
"Want to play rough then pretty fish." he snapped moving his hands to show a broke nose.
Michael kept calm; the man advanced again forcing Michael to ram his knee into his groin.
Katt felt a quick dizzy spell before bringing her elbow up, she felt it crack into his ribs she brought it up and repeated the blow, the man let her go holding his ribs finding it hard to breath, Katt standing up right she grabbed her jaw clicking it back into place before giving the man a sharp kick to the chest knocking him down, he didn't move as she turned around to stare at Michael.
"You just killed him!" Michael said looking confused to Katt as she kept touching her jaw.
"It was him or me!"
Lincoln looked around making sure none of anyone else's freak crew was lurking. "It's get." He said being a slow casual B-Line toward a narrow dime space. Emma swallowed loudly her throat was dry. She knew better then to trust someone in her field on work.
Lincoln turned his head stopped. Emma smashed into the back of him she stepped back with huge eyes.
"Chill." Lincoln whispered with a calming voice.
Emma nodded. "Nervous." She admitted out loud finally.
Michael was staring in an 'oh my god' expression and an 'oh fuck expression'.
"Now! RUN!" Katt yelled making him jump.
Michael turned around running toward the A-Winged gate which was knocked over. Katt followed him, running into danger.
Michael ran up the stairs covered in toilet paper and other things, and Katt followed.
Michael wasn't aware of what had happened while he was away, his eyes finding John and T-Bag in a confrontation.
"Guys, guys..." Fernando was trying to calm them down, but all eyes went on Michael.
"You brought the pretty fish on it..." T-Bag said licking his lips sexually as Michael spun around to see Katt.
Her eyes focused on the men in the cell, and the big hole in the wall. "Oh, holy fuck..." she said quickly stepping back before John grabbed her pulling her back inside the cell.
"Nervous, I'm not going to hurt you..." Lincoln said as he watched her reaction, her eyes still seemed big, her arm bend held close to her body.
"No my shoulder, I think it's dislocated." she muttered feeling the throbbing, Lincoln turned to face her now.
"Anything I can do?" His voice considerate, but he slowly lick his bottom lip making the adrenaline pump more into Emma's blood."
"I need it push back in." her words careful, her hand reach out touching Lincoln's, "Just hold my shoulder, then push the arm until you hear a loud pop..." Emma instructed as Lincoln looked confused.
"I don't want to hurt you..." he whispered low, but Emma's eyes kept focus on his.
"Just do..." she started as he quickly pushed her arm back into place making the bone pop and crush loud.
Emma screamed in pain before getting herself back together.
"Thank you."
Katt kicked John in the knee stepping back she hit her head against the top bunk of the cell and her vision blurred for a long moment. Her hand reached to the back of her head her fingers had a bit of blood on them now.
Michael rubbed his temple painfully. "Okay. Okay! Did you get it done?!" He snapped too many people. He reminded himself.
T-Bag was stood up and was pressing himself against the Little Fish. He was smirking raw at her sucking his bottom lip, Katt spit in his face.
Lincoln gave her a 'you are nuts' expression before nodding. "Yeah, yeah! Okay!" He grabbed her hand quickly; Emma pulled it back quickly swiping at him with a hiss.
"Sorry... Hurry!" He said hearing voices getting closer.
Their feet in the cement floor as they ran in a hurried way down the narrow hall.
Lincoln stopped running. Looking up be heard the sirens getting louder. Emma ran into him again. "You have to stop doing that!" She snapped.
"WAH!" She screamed as Lincoln moved quickly and pulled her close to him in a dark corner covering her mouth.
Emma freaked out attempting to kick him in the balls but she stopped hearing voices running past them saying; "I think they were this way" And such.
Emma's eyes meet Lincoln's his eyes intensely looking around them to make sure the cost was clear, his other hand was holding her still against his chest.
"Ok it's safe now..." he moved his hand from her mouth; they stepped out of the dark when he felt her hand crashed around his face.
"What the hell was that for?" he snapped touching his face, his eyes kept focus on the fear in hers.
"You scared the hell out of me!" she snapped stamping her foot on the ground, Lincoln didn't noticed till then the flowing skirt with combat boots, he cocked his head to one side.
"I can say the same thing..." his voice smooth pointing to the exit, "Just try and keep your head low..." he added as she pushed the door. Emma nodded before rushing out into the sun, Lincoln turning on his heels heading for A wing.
Fernando nodded, "Just like you said Papi," Fernando sounded nervous as John kept a tighter hold on Katt, and she kept wiggling.
"So Fish what we going to do about these two?" John said as Katt wiggled more in his grip.
"If you guys are making an unplanned exit, you're gonna have to take me!" she snapped looking to Michael who was lost.
Bob glanced up at the inmates, his eyes blurred from the blood.
"I promise, I won't say anything, I promise..." hi voice weeks as T-bag licked his lips again.
"Oh you won't speak, you won't breathe!" he held a shank to his throat.
"HOLD FIRE! HOLD FIRE!" Someone called.
Two Emergency Task Force officers ran across the yard to Emma grabbing her and covered her as they pulled her up and away from the prison toward an ambulance.
Michael glared. "You LEAVE him alone!" He snapped.
T-Bag was smirking his eyes played darkly cover Bob's.
Katt was wiggling still.
"Papi!" Fernando snapped him from his thought. Michael's head snapped up.
"You! Sit down and shut up help fix this mess." He looked at Bob. 'GO!" He pointed to the cell exit. Michael took off out of the cell as Bob scrambled up and ran out. T-Bag smirked casually following he grabbing Bob stabbing him he pushed him over the rail. "MICHAEL!" Lincoln yelled running into the busy wing.
"LINC!?" Michael snapped.
"MICHAEL!" Lincoln grabbed his brothers shoulder.
Michael turned around and pulled Lincoln into a hug.
They embraced each other before you could hear it;
The boots against the cement and the rustling of shields, cans tingling against the rungs on the tiers. CS Gas started leaking all around the Tiers.
Lincoln and Michael were forced apart. Michael ran back up to his cell covering his mouth with his sleeve.
Lincoln was getting dizzy he high tailed it back toward the visitation stairs.
"YOU DON'T SAY A WORD!" Michael snapped at Katt.
"I'm going." She was serious.
The Gas hit the top tiers and Katt started coughing.
