Michael's POV

She just showed me the video. I can't believe this shit. I punched the wall. All this anger built up inside of me was eager to escape. I didn't know how to let it out. So I just...

“Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!! ”

I fell to my knees. An officer ran in, but Jessica told him everything was fine. She helped me up. I pulled her into my arms.

I whispered in her ear, “I'm so sorry. I'm sorry you went through that... ”

She hugged me back. “It's fine. I'm ok. ”

I sat down. “We can't tell anyone? ”

She shook her head no. I thought crossed my mind... Was it worth asking? I have to..

“What about Jake? ”

Jessica eyes sparked. “Yes...yes. Jake can help us... Jake can help us... ”

Just then Jake walked in. He marched right at me. He pulled me up.

“I'm taking the prisoner back to his cell. ”

“Ok. Come back afterwards. I have to talk to you. ”

He nodded. It was probably better that I left. He led me back to my cell. Jerry was there. He put me in my cell and left. I looked at Jerry.

“We have to workout. ”

“What? Why? ”

I told Jerry what I saw. Jerry clenched his jaw.

“Man...I'm so sorry. He said you guys will get your chance? ”

I nod.

“Well, then, we better get to work. ”

Jessica's POV

Jake came back.

“You wanted to talk? ”

“Yes. Sit down please. This will take awhile. ”

I showed him the tape. Watching his expression was torturing.

When it was over he said, “What the hell! Why haven't you turn this in? ”

I replied back harshly, “You heard Henry! We don't know who he has wrapped around his pinky! We could turn it in and they might throw it out and kill us! And Michael! I don't want to die! We have to find a way to do this. ”

He ran his hands through his hair.

“Ok. We can find a way. First I'll need Michael here. And Jerry. ”

“Why Jerry? ”

“He's a part of this. ”

I nod. “Ok. ”

Jake's POV

“I'll be right back. ”

I run to cell block C. I bang on the door. Gary opens it up.

“What's your problem?! ”

I ignore him. I run down the steps to the cell block. I run until I'm at his cell.

“Open this cell! ”

Michael was staring at me. His shirt was off and he was sweating as if he's been working out. Jerry was doing his last pushup. Jerry stood up and looked at me.

The gate opened. “You two...come with me. ”

They looked surprised.

“Come on. Now. ”

They walked out of their cell. I led them out if the cell block.

“Whoa! Jake, what the hell you doing? ”

“Mind your damn business, Gary! ”

I led them out of that control room. I led them all the way back to the medical center. I opened the door. Jessica turned toward me. She saw them both behind me.

“Let's get to work. ”

I nod.
