Techno is two days away from retirement but since the town is so empty, he still keeps his job. He looks at the cannibal in his cell and the man was just staring at the wall. The head of Jack still in his arms, slowly rotting. Disgusting.

He should probably get the cell clean soon or else the smell is gonna stay forever and he hates that. He stretches his arms and leans back on his seat and puts his legs up on the table. "Do you have any food?" Techno almost fell off the chair when Corpse spoke. "Oh God. Don't scare me like that."

Corpse shrugs.

"Come on. Do you have any food?"

Techno looks for food in one of the cabinets them gives Corpse a steak. "Is that enough?" He asks and Corpse nods.

He sighs and stares back at the ceiling. This place is boring him. Maybe he should go on a journey and find the criminal. He can't. Where's Dream?

"Do you ever get bored just sitting here doing nothing?"

"I do. Do you?"

"I do get bored in here."

"Last time I let you out, you ate the Priest. I don't even know how you managed to sneak the head back inside."

Corpse chuckles and wipes his bloody hands on his pants. "I could really use a bath right now." Techno sighs and gets up. "Alright. I can clean your cell during your bath." He opens the cell door and leads Corpse to the bathroom. "Don't even think about escaping."

"I won't."

****

The many times Corpse has chances of escaping.

Techno finished cleaning the cell and went to the store then got back to the Prison with fresh clothes. Corpse is sitting on his hay bed, half naked, towel wrapped around his waist. He wanted to get in his old clothes but they feel so dirty to him and asked Techno to get him some clothes.

The Sheriff was a little ticked off by that but went to buy some clothes for him anyway. He doesn't wanna see the cannibal naked.

"Here." He slides the clothes through the bars and Corpse takes it. Techno sits back on his seat and turns his head away from Corpse. He waits for him to finished dressing. "Done." Techno twists his body to a comfortable position and looks at Corpse. "Well, you look much better now in those pants."

"Much better without them."

"..."

"..."

Awkward silence.

Techno shifted on his seat uncomfortably and looks away from the cannibal. Corpse looked at the sheriff and silently screamed in his mind of what the fuck did he just say. He goes back to his hay bed and lays there, contemplating about his life.

"I'm sorry."

"Ehh. It's fine."

It was fine. Techno just doesn't know how to respond to it. God did the both of them just thought of their emotional support and miss them?

"I'll go wash your clothes." Techno gets up and walks to the bathroom, leaving Corpse to think of anything else other than the glimpse he got. He sighs when he thought of his best friends, Sykkuno and Rae. He hopes they are still alright and well. He chuckles to himself. They are both strong and brave, they can take care of each other. He sighs, he missed those days. How did he even get here...

Click!

"Corpse?"

****

Techno raised his hands and puts it behind the back of his head. Guns, arrows, and even a knife were pointed at him. Really unfamiliar people in well dressed suits were pointing their weapons at him.

"Go get Corpse."

So they are Corpse's friends. Techno sighs, he should've expected this but it has been months anyway and he's about to retire from being a Sheriff. "You guys could've just asked nicely. I was going to let him out after I retire."

"As if we believe that." Techno rolls his eyes and spots Corpse coming out the prison with someone looking innocent. They look so happy to meet up again...

Techno blinks his eyes and looks away to look at the others again. "Well, you got your guy. Can you let me go now?"

They let Techno go but one of them still hold their gun up, pointing at him. "Rae. It's alright." Corpse pats Rae and she puts her gun down. "Alright. Let's get out of here, it's hot."

Corpse and Techno looked at each other. Corpse waves his hand and Techno tips his hat to him. "See ya again, amigo." Corpse chuckles and turns around to catch up with the others. Techno watches them leave till they were out of sight. He fixes his clothes and looks at the clothes in the basket. Man really left his clothes to him.
