I looked at the guards with their dogs, walking past the fence.
"Dogs. The numerous times I've been apprehended tryin' to allude the authorities, it's always because of the damn dogs" T-Bag said. "Turns out you can run from just about everything in your life, 'cept your own particular stink"
"Yeah, well some of us stink more than others" C-Note said, and I smirked trying to cover my laugh.
"Tinto, you can smell like a bouquet of bonbons, but unless you get rid of your smell, you may as well send a note to the police with directions and some cab fare"
"Theodore's right, man" Abruzzi said.
"We gotta scrub down our cells" I said.
"What about our bunks?" Sucre asked.
"Pillows, sheets, everything. Either get rid of your smell or change it" T-Bag said.
"Well, how much time we got?" C-Note asked.
"John?"
"Three days. That's as soon as I can get us into the guards' room for PI" Abruzzi said.
"You think you'll have the extra suits by then?" Michael asked Manche.
"Probably. They should be here tomorrow" He said.
"Good. So we're good to go"
"All we got left is figuring out how to get Linc out of that box" Michael said.
"You can do that in three days?" Sucre asked.
"Three days should be plenty of time" Westmorland came over to us and said.
"We gotta get out of here. Now!"
"I don't know how he found it. He just did" Westmorland said.
"The hole's just sitting there?" I asked.
"I covered it the best I could. But it's just a matter of time before someone discovers Bellick's missing"
"What do you mean 'Bellick's missing'?" Michael asked.
"Okay, okay, okay. Fox River is a big place. Maybe they won't notice for a while" Sucre said.
"Nothin' happens around here without Bellick's say-so. Somebody is gonna notice that he's missing" C-Note said.
"And when they do, they're gonna close this place down until they find him" Abruzzi said.
"What are we gonna do?" I asked.
"As soon as it gets dark, we go" Michael said.
"Tonight?" Sucre exclaimed.
"Pretty, we ain't ready to escape tonight" T-Bag said.
"Escape already started. It started the minute Bellick found that hole"
"It's gonna end the minute they figure out that he's missing" C-Note said.
"Then stay!" Michael said angrily, looking at us "I'll be sure to read the papers in the morning. See how many years you got when they realised which crew was working in that room and dug that hole"
They all nodded realizing there was not other way.
"So what's the play, man?" C-Note asked.
"Do you think you can have the plane ready by tonight?" Michael asked Abruzzi.
"Sure"
"You had kitchen duty, right?" Michael asked C-Note.
"Yeah"
"What'd you use to scrub down the floors?" Michael asked.
"I dunno, I think it was peroxide or somethin' like that"
"That'll work. Get as much as you can. I'll work on getting us that key to the infirmary. The rest of you find whatever you can to get rid of the scent in your cells"
"None of this happens if we can't get in the guards' room" Westmorland said.
"We're gonna leave after dinner during tier time when the gates are open. Seven 'o clock, one by one, through my cell" My eyes widened, and I sighed frustrated.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Now we were supposed to go through the guards' room, that was gonna give us a head start. Hours before they even found out we were missing" C-Note said.
"We leave through your cell, we ain't got no lead time. Seven 'clock, count's at 8 'o clock, that's only six..." T-Bag was interrupted by Michael.
"Sixty minutes. Sixty minutes to get over that wall and as far away from here as possible"
"They'll be right on our asses!" Sucre said.
"Quit your talkin' and start your walkin' ladies, yard time is over!" A C.O said.
"They already are" I said, as we began our walk back into the prison.
I moved towards where Tweener was sitting by himself.
"Wassup" He asked.
"Yo, if you got somethin'..."
"Tonight" I said.
"What?" He asked, panicked.
"Change of plans"
"Why? Did somethin' happen?"
"Just find Sucre and Michael. They'll tell you what you need to do to be ready" I said.
"But what about..."
"Tonight" I said firmly.
"Hey" I said to Michael.
"Yeah?" He asked.
"You need to watch out, some of these people aren't playing nice" I said motioning over to T-Bag and Abruzzi.
"They both want out of here. They'll behave till then" Michael said.
"You think so? I just picked this off of T-Bag yesterday. I would have been there ten seconds later, we wouldn't have our plane. You need to be careful around those two, you understand?" I asked.
"Yeah" He said.
"Look, there can't be any complications this time We break out tonight, or we never do" I handed him the shank and went over to find something that I could use to cover my smell. I found some fertilizer and shoved it in my pockets.
"Put your blues on over your PI gear" Michael said as we were in the changing rooms.
"What?" Sucre asked.
"Just do it" He said.
"You wanna tell us why?" Abruzzi asked.
"If we don't have time to get the suits we need we're gonna have to make 'em"
"Yo, what the hell are you doin', man? We got company" C-Note gestured to Tweener who looked nervous.
"It's okay. He's coming with us" I said.
"Whatever happened to 'We got too many people'?" Abruzzi said.
"When the plan changed so did the timing. We'll make sure we all get through" Michael explained.
"Well, for health reasons, information like that should be disseminated a little more pronto" T-Bag said.
"Nuh-uh, Fish. One more person means there's one more thing that can go wrong. He is not coming" C-Note said.
"It's not up for discussion" Michael said.
"The hell it ain't" C-Note said angrily.
"I owe him. I don't owe you a damn thing" Michael said.
"You're gonna, if we get nailed 'cause you didn't wanna cut down on the damn guest list" Everyone glared at Tweener, Michael and I put a hand on his back.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine" I said.
"Hey, hold up, cons" A C.O said as we were walking in a single file to the break room.
"I saw some drops of blood on the floor of the PI locker room. Now, who's gonna tell me what's going on?" The C.O said. I furrowed my brow, who was hurt?
"That'd be me, boss. I, uh...I did it while I was loading some equipment back into the shed" Michael finally said.
"You make sure and get that patched up"
"Will do"
"Okay. Move it" The C.O went to join Tweener up front, and we all followed.
Back in my cell I spread the fertilizer on my bed and all over my cell, and body. That should do it.
I poured the peroxide into the toilet, and started washing my P.I jumpsuit with it. Once the suit was white I took it out of the toilet and left it to dry.
"Open on 40" I heard, I quickly stuffed the jumpsuit under my covers. I watched as Michael was led away. I bit my lip, hopefully nothing was going to come up and bite us all in the ass.
AN: Wooo! Another chapter is done, next chapter is the break out :) nearly there.
