Locked once more(Book 2)

Chapter 20

The cells weren't the most comfortable, but I was fed. I wasn't asking so they weren't letting me out. Wes was treating me like a natural prisoner. For two days I had been stuck in this cell. I was happy to be getting a meal, but I missed Dwayne. I hate to say that, but I missed our talks and our secrets. I didn't sleep much thinking about Dwayne going alone to the library. If he was able to get in. Faith would leave for a moment, probably to use the bathroom, and then she would come back. We didn't visit for two days. He made Dani come down and give me a plate of food for breakfast, Lunch, and dinner. She didn't say much, but she was concerned for me. She asked if I was okay. It was fine. I had a cot and a blanket. But I was still treated like a regular prisoner. Which was the setting Wes was going for.

Tyler had been keeping the jerk company. But I learned his name quickly, Sam. He was hired on by Damien a year ago, and he had a great record of stealing and lying. Which was exactly what Damien was looking for. Tyler had finally gotten some information out of the guy. He was sent to shoot Derek, which was a lie. Derek set it up. I knew everything, but I couldn't say a word. And that was eating me up inside. Derek had lied to everyone and claimed it was to keep me safe. But then gave Wes and me the okay to mess around, who does that? He sabotaged himself, and I hated that he felt the need to do that with me.

It was cold, and I was ready to go to bed. So I pull myself together, and lay under my covers, on the small cot. It was better than nothing. We had insisted on me having warm blankets. Tyler requested a better mattress, but Wes wanted me to feel like I was truly locked up for doing something I should not have. It was working, I was missing a shower, and my bed. But on the footnote, if he let me out, I would just go straight to mine and Derek's room, and take a shower. I would probably stay in there for an hour. But in real-time, I was here and that was it.

"Well, Faith, goodnight," I say, she groans outside of the cage. If I had wanted to the day he grabbed me, I could have made Faith attack, just to get him off me, but I loved Wes, and seeing someone you care about in danger was scary. But I missed Derek, even though he lied.

Sleep came, but it didn't stay. I woke up, my phone now dead, I had no idea what time it was. But I noticed Tyler had stepped out. It was just Sam and me. We were the only ones in the cells. So maybe Tyler went to use the bathroom or to grab a snack. He was down here, all day, every day. Or Maybe Wes called him up, to send someone else back in. I look over to Sam, who is trying not to look at me, but I can see the want to talk in his eyes.

"I know the truth, Sam," I said. He nods smirking.

"Yeah, why else would you visit Lee in prison," He asked looking up. I noticed he was being serious. Not sure which was scarier, the fact that he knew I knew the entire time or the fact that I beat the shit out of him, for nothing.

"I met Damien in the Library a few weeks ago, and he told me some things, I know you didn't mean to hurt Faith or Wes," I said. He nods. I know he didn't mean it. Now.

"Regardless, you have a swing on you, you knocked my ass a new one," he said, trying to make a joke. It wasn't funny. I had an adrenaline problem. I wasn't proud of it.

"Derek had to improvise you know, since Faith was shot, and your boyfriend was hurt," He says looking away, at Faith. I flare my nose and look at Faith, and then back to him.

"I know, he had been planning this since Damien's first letter, leaving, making a deal, I know there's more to it too," I said. he nodded. He knew about Tracy and Dani.

"He wasn't after Dani, That wasn't the deal, the deal was to get Tracy and those letters he's after the confessions," He said. So he knew about them. Maybe Damien told him, that wouldn't make sense.
