When Aubrey walks in Chloe's office the next morning she finds the redhead head down on her desk. She runs over to the chair and shakes Chloe shoulders. The sudden movement send a sharp pain through Chloe's neck.
"Awch god Aubrey" she shouts.
"I thought you fainted or something, thank god" she says hugging her.
Chloe giggles, I'm fine Brey, just a bit sore in my neck.
"I bet Chicago can do something about that tonight" Aubrey smirks.

Hearing her husband's name, she picks up her phone to see if perhaps he would've send her a text. Nothing… she sighs.
Aubrey notices her sad look and sits down on the other chair.
"You want to talk about the fact why you rushed over here yesterday while you could've easily manage this gate problem at home? "
Chloe looks up from her phone to see Aubrey looking at her knowingly.
"Brey I don't want to talk about this now, I'm gonna go home quickly and take a shower and I'll come back."
"Chlo don't forget the general director is coming to visit this morning, you haven't forgotten have you?"
"Oh no, shit shit shit, I totally forgot about that. I'm gonna go take a shower here, can I use your outfit today?"
Aubrey nods and smiles at her.
Luckily for her, Aubrey always dresses herself like she's royalty.

Meanwhile at Beca's cellblock.

At 7AM the buzzer sounds for the inmates to wake up. Hearing the loud noise makes Beca jumps up and she accidently falls out of her bed. She's sweating intensely and her breathing is shallow. Like mostly every night Beca wakes up from another nightmare. Since her mother died, she couldn't remember the last time she had a peaceful and quiet night.
She looks over to Stacie's bunk and sees her holding in her laugh because she fell out of bed.
"Morning Mitchell, you take jumping straight out of bed literally" she smirks.
Beca rolls her eyes but couldn't help to find it a bit funny herself.
Stacie helps her up and both of them chuckled.
Just then their cell door opens and Chief Posen looks inside.
"Ah Chief, you look absolutely ravishing today" Stacie says eying her up and down.
"Have I told you I have a thing for women in uniform?"
"Many times Conrad" she sighs, "the shower stall is open."
Stacie immediately grabs her stuff and hurries over to the showers before most of the other inmates arrive.
Beca is a bit disoriented and is still staring at Aubrey. She's definitely not used to get up so early in the morning.
"What are you still doing here Mitchell, get yourself to the showers… NOW.." she shouts.
"Yes chief pain in my ass" she mutters while grabbing her stuff.
"EXCUSE ME INMATE?!"
"Nothing Chief" Beca shouts as she hurries after Stacie with a grin on her face.

In the meantime Chloe has taken Aubrey's clothes and went to the women staff room to shower. The showers were just next to the inmate showers and she could hear them often talk.
A few off the Bellas gang were in the showers, they were always singing together. Chloe loves listening to them.
They just finished singing Torn from Nathalie Imbruglia, when she hears Beca talking.

"You guys are seriously not singing that song are you?"

"Aaaaay shorty you made it" Amy shouts, "I think the last stall closest to the wall is free if you hurry up."

Beca looks around while trying to cover herself as much with her towel as possible. She's not ashamed of her body but being so open with all these women is a bit much for her.
She quickly walks to the last shower stall, takes of her towel and gets under the shower.
She closes her eyes and enjoys the warm water running over her body.

The other inmates were already done and went back to their cellblocks.
Beca looks around to be sure, she's happy to be alone, and finally since she arrived, she feels relaxed.
So much even, she starts to sing Titanium.
The song means the world to her, when she felt down, she just put on that song to make her feel better again.

Chloe is about to stop her shower, when she hears Beca sing.
There was no talking or shouting anymore, the only thing she hears is Beca's beautiful voice.
She walks over to the wall and pushes her ear against it.
The woman who's been hunting her mind ever since she saw her for the first time, is singing her lady jam.
Chloe knows how thin the walls are, but she couldn't care less, when Beca hit the refrain, Chloe sings with her.

Beca hears the voice coming through the wall, she stops singing instantly. She hasn't been singing in front of people since the death of her mother. But that voice, is the most beautiful thing she ever heard in her life and she needs to hear it more. So she continues and the voice at the other side of the wall joins her again.
Beca didn't know who it Is, but she's determined to find out.
Both women stop again when they hear other inmates come in the shower room. Chloe hears the small girl grabs her stuff and run off.
She rests her forehead against the cold tiles and let out a deep sigh. She could not stop thinking about Beca and this is definitely not helping to stop it.

-
Chloe walks in her office and finds the general director waiting for her. She looks at the clock only to realize she spend way to long in the showers. He looks at her and nods friendly.

"Miss Beale, I heard you had a late night yesterday?" He smiles and shakes her hand.
"Yes Sir, but it's all solved now."
"That's good. Anyway I'll get straight to the point Chloe, it's no secret that your ancestor did not book enough success with the inmates who were released. Most of them just got back into crime, broke their curfews and due to the lack of a degree, ended on the streets. The board asked me if hopefully under your control this matter could be handled correctly."
"What do you mean sir?"
"Educate them, help them solve their issues.. you know what I mean. Don't you have a teacher degree? You can help inmates get their degree so they can find a job when they get out of here.
I told them this would be no problem for you, don't disappoint me Chloe, if you get better numbers after a few releases, I can assure you it would do wonders for you career."
"I'm honoured that you believe in me sir" Chloe says excited.
"What about this Beca Mitchell? I red she has no degree and she could use some help to get her life back on track".

Before Chloe could even protest about this, her boss cuts her off.

"Use Beca Mitchell, she would be perfect. Send me reports of her progress, if she does well, she'll probably get out of here earlier than planned." He gives her a smile before walking out of her office, leaving Chloe stunned at her desk.
The thought of being around Beca in a more intimate setting, makes her stomach do flips.
God Chloe you need to get your shit together ,she thought.

A few hours later, like promised, Beca arrives for her first official talk with Chloe in her office.
Chloe is beyond nervous when Beca sits in front of her desk, looking all smug and smirking at her.
It's hot outside and she's just wearing a simple black top instead of her full overall. It reveals her tattoos and toned arms.

"So Beca, how are you?"
"I think we can skip the formalities don't we director? I'm in jail . But there is this redhead that makes everything better for me." She smirks.
Chloe blushes, "One would start to think you are flirting with me Beca Mitchell."
"And what if I am director?"
"Well don't, I'm a married woman and not interested." Beca only eyes her curiously hearing this, but stays quiet.
"Listen Beca, I want to help you. If you behave well, perhaps get a degree while you're here and work on that attitude of yours, you'll probably get early released."
"Red, I appreciate you concern, but I'm fine, just let me do my time."
"Beca I know what happened to you and your father, you don't seem like a bad person, but a person who had bad things happen to her. If you go to appeal against you conviction I'm sure with some life improvements from here and arguments of self-defence, you can get a second chance."
Beca just looks away at the window, her face is less smug then before, she looks broken and sad. Chloe wants nothing more but to take the brunette in her arms.

"Beca..?"
Hearing her name Beca looks up at Chloe, she stares in her deep blue eyes. She's captivated by them. She knows Chloe is just probably doing her job helping the inmates, but she has a feeling that perhaps Chloe truly does care about her.
She's speechless, for once in her life, she doesn't know what to say, because Chloe looks straight through her.
"What do you propose then director?"
Chloe smiles wildly, "Well let's start with what you want to do when you get out of here? Do you want to do a job or perhaps travel and see the world?"

They talk for hours about their lives and interests, the conversation goes so easy that neither of them realize how long they were talking. The dinner buzzer takes them out of their world and back in reality.

"Well this was a good talk Beca, think about it, and of you need to talk about anything, you know where to find me."
"Thank you director, this was… well I would even say fun."
Chloe smiles sweetly at her.
Before Beca walks out of the door, she takes one last look at Chloe.
"If that husband of yours is not at home, feel free to watch those camera's again" she winks at her.
Chloe feels brave and strolls over to the door getting closer to Beca.
Beca backs away from her but came in contact with the door.
Chloe grabs the doorknob behind Beca's back, leaving only a few inches between them.
"To bad there are no camera's in my room for you to watch" Chloe whispers in her ear.
She opens the door and Beca stumbles through it, looking at the redhead astonished. She did definitely not expected Chloe to join their flirty banter.
Chloe bites her lip and gives her one last wink before closing it.

Beca walks back to cantina. She joins the Bellas and starts to listen to whatever they were talking about. However her mind is occupied with the redhead.
Not only is this women physically flawless but she is the most kindest and caring person Beca has ever met in her life. Beca is definitely not used to feel this way for someone, she needed to get her head straight. She excuses herself to the others and walks back to her cell.

A few moments later she is joined by Stacie.
She sits next to her on the bed.
Stacie takes out an apple from under her jumpsuit and gives it to Beca.
"Just in case you get hungry tonight."
"Thanks Conrad" she says with a small smile.
"Wanna talk about it?"
"I just don't feel very well, that's all."
"So it's definitely not about the fact that you have the hots for our prison director?"
Beca sighs and lays flat on her bed looking up at the ceiling.
"I thought so Mitchell" Stacie stand up again and walks over to the door.
"Listen, I'm not a good person to say this because I'm nuts about Posen, but remember that they can't even think about dating us given their jobs. So don't get your hopes up, or your time here will be torture."

Beca watches Stacie leave, she closes her eyes. Stacie's right, she can't think about Chloe like this. Tears start to build up in her eyes, she could use her mother right now, she'd know what to do. After what seems were hours of thinking she fell asleep, with now not only her fucked up life on her mind, but the redhead as well.
