Night had fallen on Florida State Prison, and lights out was nearly an hour ago leaving the cellblock in an inky blackness save the security lights which flickered sporadically. Most of the inmates had fallen asleep but a few still remained awake, talking in careful whispers as to not raise the suspicion of the guards. A few muffled cries could be heard, yells cut off short by a hand or pillow. Cass tried hard not to think whether the screams were screams of ecstasy or pain.
He hadn't been in the prison for long, nearly two and a half months, but that was long enough to understood how things worked. New men would come in every couple of months, eager to prove that they weren't soft from the outside world and could roll with the baddest men in the clink. Nearly all of them broke within a couple of weeks. For some it was the physical strains, the beatings or the sexual assault. For others it was the confinement, they only left their cell for meals and rec time.
Cass didn't pay much attention to the newcomers. They were loud, brash and green. They weren't dangerous because they always let you know where you stood with them. You were either being beaten or sharing cigarettes, there weren't many shades of grey. But the lifers, those were the ones Cass was weary of. Some of them had been in Folsom longer than Cass had been alive, and they were smart. Power within the ranks of the lifers was always shifting slightly, and it was important to know who held the power at the moment.
Most of them were old, greying hairs and stooping backs. This rarely meant that they had softened with age. Instead they recruited the younger generations to do their dirty work. There were only a few who Cass conversed with on a regular basis. Roman Reigns convicted for voluntary manslaughter, a slightly older man who had found God while he was behind bars. His boyfriend Dean Ambrose, an insane con artist who had swindled half of New York out of their trust funds a few years back, the newspapers had dubbed him the 'lunatic fringe'. Cesaro who was the man you went to if you needed anything from information to just things that if you wanted to get they need to be smuggled into the prison. Jimmy and Jey twin bank robbers who happen to be Roman's cousins two high spirited men who choose family over anything. Big E who was found guilty of drug trafficking and even though he was big and intimidating he'd never hurt anyone you just have to be on his good side. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods two men who were both charged with armed robbery they never really bothered anyone and are very energetic. AJ Styles, Karl Anderson, and Luke Gallows three men who deemed themselves "The Club" they were shady assholes sometimes, but you could go to them for backup. Lastly, Seth Rollins also known as the architect who the smartest man in the prison hell he was smarter than Cesaro the man could tell you anything and everything.
While in the midst of his thoughts his eyes and thoughts wondered over to Enzo. Cass thought the shorter man was beautiful and he had the most stunning eyes. Before lights out Cass said he would show Enzo around tomorrow after role call and breakfast during rec time. Yes Cass was gay but he did have a girlfriend before but that didn't work out too well. That ended after Cass got arrested and thrown in jail because she'd promise to always visit and she never even visited once. The only people that visited him were his parents and some friends. Back to Enzo he meant what he said earlier he wanted to get to know the smaller man.
He had a lot of interest in him and actually wanted to start something with him because he likes Enzo. He knew Enzo was gay as well and the other prisoners that saw him probably do too. Cass wants Enzo to be his and only his and it doesn't matter if it'll take a couple of days or the entire 5 years they were sentenced to get Enzo and make him his. He couldn't wait for tomorrow so he could show Enzo around and try ways to get Enzo to be his. Cass was actually enthusiastic to wake up in the morning. He doesn't know if it'll be easy or hard, but judging by the way Enzo's body reacted to what Cass said about his nickname he assumed it should be easy.
A/N: This chapter was just Cass's insight and opinions about things that go on in the prison and people that are in the prison. Enjoy and Review.
