When I arrived, I had to go through some security in order to go into the cell that Zane and Cryptor were kept in. On my way I saw the man again that had perverted behavior while Zane and I were having the cook-off. He hasn't really changed since yesterday, a skinny guy with a tattoo on his left arm and his gray and black hair popping out. 

He started whistling at me and I tried to ignore it, but he wouldn't stop it and the other man with him was laughing. 

"Oolala, fancy looking today don't you think, Fred?" The creepy man said. 

"Indeed, but she is all yours," the creepy man's cell mate said. 

"I am nobody's," I said in anger. 

"For now you're not, soon to be mine and now that's a fact," the man said, laughing. 

I was only inches away from the cell and he took my arm and gripped tight on it. I tried to let go, but he wouldn't. I remembered the self-defense I learned in high school. I used it and got myself away from there. I can't believe that there are people like this. 

I walked as fast as I could to Zane and Cryptor's cell. When I arrived I saw Zane and Cryptor playing chopsticks as they were passing their time. I went into the cell which was opened by an officer and that officer later left. 

"Hello, I brought you guys wraps today," I said, sitting down with them. 

"Yes! Some good food at least!" Cryptor cheered. 

I gave him and Zane the wraps and they started eating it. 

"This is good!" Zane said. 

"Thank you," I said, smiling at him. 

He was like a dream boy. A boy that every girl would want, but only one special girl can have him. 

I knew this was the right time to start the conversation about Zane’s past because he was in a good mood. 

"Zane, may I ask you a question?" I asked, nervously. 

"Sure," Zane said, eating the last bits of his wrap. 

"Um, I wanted to ask you..that um..how.." I cleared my throat,"How did you get arrested? I mean you're such a nice guy a-and you seem like you can't do anything bad. Sorry if I am trying to know a lot about you. I should've never asked that, I'm so sorry."

"No, no, it's fine. I understand and I will gladly tell you. So what happened was that I grew up in a small house with a little brother named Echo and the best Father ever. Many people liked to call him Dr.Julien. I loved almost the perfect life that is until I went to high school and befriended a guy named Mark. He was a great guy, well that's what you would think when you first see him. I was in a friend group with a lot of boys and four girls. There were Lloyd, Akita, Kai, Skylor, Cole, Vania, Jay, Nya, Mark, and I. I am still friends with them, but Mark of course," He said, taking a break to look at Cryptor finishing up his wrap. 

Cryptor likes to eat nice and slow so he gets all the flavor in his mouth. 

"One day, Mark decided we all go on a trip to Italy. I asked my Father and he said I could. Unfortunately, my other friends couldn't come so it was just Mark and I. I packed up everything and I met Mark at his house. He had three bags which I didn’t understand because one person really doesn't need that many. But, I ignored the thought even though I should've never because that is when I made the biggest mistake ever. When we arrived at the airport our bags were checked like normal, but before the check Mark needed to use the restroom and so he did. All the bags looked like they were mine. I took all four bags to the check in and I thought Mark would arrive, but he still didn't. When the bags were checked I found out that there were guns in there and I was really shocked. The police had come and I tried to tell them my part of the story, but they wanted me to say all of it in court. And so I did, but I didn't have enough proof to back it up. Which is why I got sentenced to ten years in jail for transporting assault weapons. I have only completed four years of that," Zane said, looking down. 

"How about your Father and brother?" I asked. 

"They still talk to me, but only on Sunday's," Zane said. 

I felt so bad for him, so I decided to hug him. He hugged me back. 

"I am so sorry," I said. 

"It's not your fault," he said. 

I rubbed his back. I knew I had to do something. We let go of the hug and I put his hands in mine. 

"I promise that I will do something about this and get you out of here," I said. 

"Thank you so much," Zane said, hugging me again. 

I hugged him back and Cryptor was at the side kind of mad. 

"So you're just going to leave me here?" Cryptor asked, angrily. 

"No, you have to complete all your years and then you can come out. Maybe your time limit can change if you do community service," I said as Zane and I let go of the hug. 

"True, I will do that. But, after Zane is out don't stop visiting me. I still want your delicious food!" Cryptor said. 

"I will visit you everyday," I laughed. 

I spent a good amount of time with them and when I left I knew I had one mission: get Zane out of jail.

Sorry for posting late, I was busy and also I got a little lazy. Tomorrow my school starts so updates will be slow as usual. The link above doesn't work so here is the music for all the chapters. The art is not mine, but it is meant to be Zane in the story without red eyes. I hope you enjoyed and I will see you in the next chapter!
