Chapter 3
For a few moments, they stared deep into each other's eyes, simply not knowing what to do or say. Gingerly, Jack walked over to the corner of the cell and sat down, sighing. After that passed a few uncomfortable minutes of silence through which Jack knew that the other man's eyes were on him all the time. He heard a few grunts coming from him as he drank what was left in the small bottle that was next to him. He thought whether to say something or if it was not a good idea and he shouldn't… he realised that the man opposite him was thinking the same thing since as his rough voice filled the room.
"Why'd you end up here?" Jack turned to face him but saw that he was staring at the wall blankly.
"Oh,… you know…" he trailed off, not knowing what to say.
"Lemme guess; there was a girl, right?" he chuckled though his expression didn't change and stayed as bitter as it was before.
Jack didn't say anything, just looked down.
"There's always a girl." He sighed and took a swig of the small bottle.
"How'd you get that?" Jack asked.
"Get what?"
"Alcohol." He said, realising that it was exactly what he needed at that moment.
"Guard's always got some in his stash. Ya just have to be clever enough to know when to take it while he's not looking." He smirked and laughed bitterly.
Jack stretched his legs in front of him and ran his hands over his face, not knowing what to think about first. Another few moments of silence passed however this time, it was a different type of silence- a more comfortable silence.
"Name's Jack." He finally said.
Some time passed until Jack got the answer he was waiting for.
"Sawyer."
