I was in the infirmary getting my shot when I heard guards shouting.

"We need help out here"

Sarah rushed outside and started shouting something medical that I didn't understand. It took a while, but I was remembered.

A guard came and started to lead me back to Gen-Pop, when I walked back Doc and Bellick I caught a snippet of their conversation.

"Blade went right through his foot huh?" She said, that alone was enough to make me wince. I peered into the room that the injured inmate was in, and my eyes widened when I saw it was Michael Scofield.


It wasn't until yard time that I saw Michael again, he was talking to Lincoln Burrows, I had learnt his name from Abruzzi who I had become sort of friends with.

He was being careful with his foot, I had asked Abruzzi if he knew what happened but he said he didn't.

"Hey Riley?" I looked to see who was talking to me. It was T-Bag.

I waited for him to continue.

"I was wondering if you was tugging on anyone's pocket?" It took me a second to understand what he was saying, and then the feeling of outrage built up inside me.

"No! I'm not 'tugging on anyone's pocket' and I will not. So if that's what you came over for you get just stop that train of thought in it's tracks" He chuckled to himself.

"It's just you an Abruzzi are getting awful close, I would hate to think if something happened to him and you lost your best buddy" I started to walk away, but he grabbed my arm and pushed me back into the fence.

"Now, now. Don't be getting the wrong idea, I'm not gonna do anything to dear ol' John. Just be careful with what you say to people cause not every one is as nice as I am. They won't hesitate to give you a whack"

I ducked under his arm, and ignored him calling for me. I could see Michael looking over from where he was raking.


I was back in the infirmary, getting my insulin shot.

"Do you know Michael Scofield?" Doc asks me. I raise my eyebrows.

"Not really, had a conversation here and there, he's my neighbour" I had no idea why she wanted to know.

She put the needle down, and looked me in the eye.

"He's been asking about you lately"

"Oh, why?"

"I don't know, does he know that your a girl?" I frown, I sure as hell hope not.

"Not that I know of, no one has figured it out yet, and with any luck it will stay that way"

What if he had figured it out, what was I supposed to do then? Would he tell anyone? Now I was starting to panic.

"Hey, don't worry about it. I'm sure he doesn't know it was just a thought" She tried to calm me. It didn't work.


Some guards were outside my cell, Sucre was moving to a different cell. I had no idea why, if I was cellie's with Scofield I definitely wouldn't want to leave.

I heard Scofield go in the cell, and talk with Sucre. I couldn't hear the exact words, but I could tell that he didn't want Sucre to go.

Glad to see someone had made a friend.

Sucre then walked past my cell, with his box full of stuff. He glanced at me while following a C.O to his new cell. I could hear Scofield hit the wall that joined out cell, looks like someone is not happy.

We were all escorted into the cafeteria, I usually either sat alone or with Westmorland. Today it was the former, we were talking about his cat.

I know we are so interesting, but there is only so much we can talk about. I wasn't exactly being kept updated in the news department, and Westmorland was more than happy to talk about his cat, so I pretended to listen. If that's what makes him happy, then good for him.

After eating my horrible tasting food, it was yard time once again. In the queue I saw Scofield being grabbed and forced through a door. I pretended not to see it and looked the other way, I regretted that when I was also pulled through the door.

Inside the room stood T-Bag and Abruzzi with a couple of his goons behind them, the goons that dragged me and Scofield inside were standing behind us, so much for that escape.

I was standing there awkwardly, not really knowing why I was pulled in. And from the look I was getting from Michael he obviously didn't either.

"You know I was thinking I was gonna gut you bowel to stern as soon as I laid eyes on you. But alack the day you look so pretty when your scared" T-Bag looked over at Abruzzi before continuing.

"I think we're gonna get the love out the way before we move onto the hate, what do you say to that Pretty? Hmmm... yeah. Maybe it's time I lit that fire once and for all, huh, and then I could move onto you Red. Does anyone object?"

He puts the knife down on the table nearest to him, I still had no idea what I was doing here. Once he had fully let go of the knife, Abruzzi elbowed him in the face. T-Bag fell back and Abruzzi punched him in the face again.

I couldn't control the expression on my face, which was complete and utter shock. I thought we were done for, and from Michael's expression I could tell he thought the exact same thing.

Abruzzi then walked over to us, leaving T-Bag to be beaten up by the goons.

"Eh, he talks to much" And then he took Scofield, and walked away. Once I got over my shock, I left the room. And not a moment too soon, because just after I left C.O's rushed in there. I let out a breath and continued on like nothing had happened.


"Open on 40!" I looked away from Abruzzi's cell to see Bellick walking past. He hit his baton on my cell door, and winked at me. I resisted the urge to dry heave.

"Scofield, found you a new cellie. As luck would have it I found him in the psych ward and your the only guy with an empty tray"

"That's not true. Riley doesn't have a cellie" My eyes widened, what excuse did Pope tell Bellick to use.

"Black has serious issue's being inside an enclosed area with other people. The shock alone would probably kill him, now I was all for that but Pope wouldn't allow it" I nearly slapped myself in frustration. Like no one was going to realise that wasn't true. Hopefully Scofield is the only one that heard.

Bellick enters the cell, and I heard some tapping. After that Bellick shouted for "Haywire", and Haywire shuffled past my cell. I could tell that he wasn't all there, just by the way he eyes continually shifted.


In the yard, I was leaning against the fence. T-Bag was still in the infirmary so I had nothing to worry about from him. I was still wondering why I had to see the little display, but I figured Abruzzi wanted me to see how much power he had or something.

I kept my eyes peeled for Haywire, I didn't want to start talking to him. Unfortunately fate hates me so when I looked to my left he was breathing straight into my ear.

"What the hell! Back up man!" He just continued staring at me, eventually he cocked his head, and started tugging on his shirt. I backed away slowly, I was afraid of doing something that would startle him. Like a wild animal.

When I had gotten a couple of feet away I could see Haywire still staring at me. It was quite unnerving and to make matters worse, Scofield was staring at me as well. I was becoming seriously paranoid, it was like I could see jigsaw pieces coming together in his head. I didn't like it one bit.


Wow :) I just realised I haven't put a disclaimer on any of these chapters so here it is.

I do not own any of the characters other that Riley Black. Every thing you recognise I cannot take any credit for.

So anyway, hope you like it.
