4 - Cameras

VALENTINA'S POV

Overall yesterday's session with Francis was casual, but I couldn't wrap my head around why he wanted to know who hurt my neck. It was useless for him since he wasn't even allowed around other prisoners. But just to make sure I only said Alex's first name. Its a common name and it'd be inhumane to try and guess who it was with the chance of getting it wrong

It was my break time and Keisha's too, so we were both sitting at her desk when there was a sudden scream in the prisoner's cell block.

Both I and Keisha jumped out of our seats at the loud sound and were about to rush to the scene when a security guard stopped us when we reached a certain hallway.

"Sorry girls, I can't let you through," he said, zero sympathy in his voice as he supposedly apologised.

"Who was hurt?" I demanded in a low voice, glaring at him as he did the same. He just sighed, not answering my question.

"If it's one of our patients then we have the right to see what's wrong, we could know what happened!" I said in an agitated voice, and it was enough to make him finally answer me.

"Alex Santiago," he said coldly, and my eyebrows furrowed together. I heard Keisha grunt, but I gasped and pushed my way past the guard, making him give me a cold stare.

What happened to Alex? I ran through the hallways, following the yells of pain and pushing past the large crowd of guards in a small place when I got to a corner where I was about to turn, but was instantly stopped by the sight that was in front of my eyes.

Alex was there, back against a wall and laying in a pool of blood, with a knife sticking out of his chest. Blood oozed out of his body and he was groaning in pain as he lay on the floor. All the medics were rushing around the injured man, and the guards were running around, trying to find who did it.

"How did they get a weapon!?" one yelled

"Get every prisoner back in their cells!" another one ordered

"Who did it!?" all of them were asking.

Even though my body was frozen in shock, my mind was running. I already knew who did it. It had to be him.

I ran away from the scene. I could see the guard and Keisha still bickering and as soon as he saw me he scoffed.

"I knew you couldn't handle something like-" he started but I cut him off by pushing past him and dragging Keisha along with me.

All the guards were so distracted by the commotion going on near Alex, that they left no one to guard the security camera room.

"What are you doing!" she shouted in a whisper. I had taken her in front of the door.

'Security Footage Room' was labelled

I looked at her and she did the same to me but with a shocked expression.

"No!" she whispered, knowing it wasn't allowed for psychologists to go in, but I shook my head looking back at the door.

"I'm sure that I know who it is. I need to see if it's true Keisha!" I exclaimed before I quickly walked in.

Keisha sighed, knowing that if I went down in trouble, she might as well too.

The room was furnished with two metal, tall cabinets, probably filled with records and a desk that had a multiple-screened laptop, its light being the only one in the room'

There was live and old footage stored in the software and cameras were covered in a place like this. I knew all I had to do was find one where Alex was in it.
