Jake made it to the Alex's room in no time. He slowly opened the door.

"Alex?" he called. He noticed all the papers everywhere. That wasn't a good sign. "Alex?" Everything was silent, he was about to turn around when he heard a low moan. Using that as incentive, he closed the door behind him and walked toward the noise. He wasn't expecting what he found.

"Oh god. Alex." Jake muttered as he ran to his friend's side. She was laying on her side. Jake couldn't help but notice the large gash in the center of her stomach and the cuts on her hands and arms. "Come on Alex, it's time to wake up." Jake said as he gently shook his friend. He wouldn't accept that she was dead. He just wouldn't. He'd already lost one of his friends and he'd be damned if he lost another.

"Jake?" Alex asked as she opened her eyes. "What's going on?" Jake breathed a sigh of relief.

"You don't want to know." Jake said as he ripped part of his shirt and tied the wound around her stomach with it. Alex flinched but didn't complain.

"What happened? You should have been out of here. Your shift is over at 8!" Jake growled.

"I had some paperwork to finish. I stayed behind not thinking anything of it. Then." Alex took a moment to recompose herself.

Before Alex could finish filing her work, she heard shouting. She didn't think anything of it because she was in a prison. People shouted all day and night. Suddenly the door to her office was kicked in. A bald man walked in with a sick smile on his face. She knew this man. He was known as Metzger by all the inmates. She have never gotten the chance to personally work with him, but she had heard stories.

"What are you doing?" Alex demanded.

"Awe, come on Doc. I just wanna have some fun." Metzger smiled as he twisted a box cutter knife in his hands. He advanced towards Alex, who held her ground. She wasn't going to back down from this guy. She's taken on guys twice his size.

"I don't want to have you detained, and you don't want that either." Alex tried to reason. She found it incredibly strange that he was roaming the halls. She wasn't supposed to have anymore patients today...

"Shut up. You don't know me." Metzger growled.

"I know you more than you think. You're a convicted rapist. Raped twelve women, beat them, then left them for dead. You had a poor childhood growing up, you father hated you and your mother was a drug addict. So you were left on your own." Alex smirked, she had obviously gotten to him.

"I said SHUT UP!" He lunged at Alex but she was too quick. She started running for the door but was grabbed by a pair of hands and thrown into a wall. Her head began to swim from the impact. Metzger sliced at her with the knife, Alex yelped in pain as it made contact multiple times. She waited for her chance. When Metzger was about to swing again, Alex kicked him back and tried to go for the door again, but was tripped. She was drug backwards.

"You'll pay for that you bitch." Metzger growled as he plunged the knife into Alex's stomach. Alex cried out in pain and tried to get up but received a punch to the head instead. She slowly fell into unconsciousness.

"Oh Alex." Jake said.

"I'm okay, light headed, but okay." Alex muttered as she rubbed her head. It wasn't a total lie. For the most part, she felt okay. She had been through worse. She knew that if she were to tell Jake how she really felt, he would become overprotective and their cover might possibly be blown. Neither of them wanted that.

"Alex, light headed isn't good. You've lost a lot of blood. We need to get you out of-" before Jake could finish, the door was swung open.

"Yo! There's that bitch." An inmate said as walked into the room. He patted Jake on the back, "Good job bro, You found her. We've been lookin' for that one." Alex quickly looked at Jake. If he were to lose his cool, they would be screwed.

"Why have you been looking for her?" Jake asked.

"The boss wants all the hostages. Ya know? In case something happens. Like if those damn cops try to come in. We'll have a shield." The man said as he pulled Alex to her feet, she groaned in pain.

"Easy man, she's hurt." Jake realized his mistake though. The man turned and looked at him.

"What's it to you?"

"Well, if she can't even stand then how are we gonna use her as a shield? Or better yet, how are you gonna get her to the boss? You'll have to carry her."

"True 'dat." the man said. He pulled Alex out and Jake followed. There was no way in hell he was going to leave her in that condition.
