Project: Sunshine

39- Hit-Man

Warning: Violence

Raven shot up, and the first thing he realized was that his hands were free. He raised them both, and they still hurt but the one he used to punch Teagen didn't hurt as bad as it did previously. He didn't break it, thankfully. There wasn't anything stabbing into his skin from the bracelet anymore but it still hurt from when it was. Raven shook his head before he gasped when he saw someone staring at him, he wasn't that scared of it he just wasn't expecting it.

"Good morning, sunshine." The man in the cell with him spoke, his voice hoarse. "Well, it's not even the next day."

"How long... Was I out?" Raven asked himself, not even realizing he said it that loud for the man to hear.

"You silly bastard, I can't tell the time!" The man exclaimed, Raven blinked.

"When do we have to sleep?" Raven asked, slinging his legs over the edge of the bed.

"Soon."

"I thought you couldn't tell the time." Raven rubbed his eyes, looking down at his hand. Eyeliner, it was never cleaned off but only slightly smudged.

"I'd take that off as soon as possible, you look gay." The man suggested.

"I am," Raven muttered, wiping his eyes, which really only smudged it even more instead of removing it.

"I knew that, we all know who you are." The man stated, Raven looked up.

"How?"

"The message gets around, especially if you're an escort."

"I'm not an escort."

"No? You worked at uh... What's its name, the one in that crazy place.." The man scratched his head as he thought.

"Lennons." Raven glanced away.

"That's it!" The man pointed at Raven, Raven exhaled and then yawned quietly.

"I don't work there anymore."

"Well, no shit! You're in prison." The man exclaimed, Raven couldn't understand how he was so full of energy.

"How are you so hyper?" Raven asked, the man then wheezed out a laugh.

"I'm high as fuck right now."

Raven blinked, a smile curled onto his face. He couldn't blame the man.

"I still have one left, if you want one."

"No thanks, I don't make the smartest decisions when I'm like that," Raven stated, the man nodded.

There were loud bangs echoing down the halls, someone was banging something against the cell doors. It got closer until there was a guard in front of his cell, the guard looked over at him. Raven's eyes narrowed when he noticed the unique design on it, this was Teagen.

"It's time to sleep."

"Wait, so they make these loud ass noises and then want us to sleep right after?" Raven asked, the man nodded, and Raven scoffed in disbelief. "How do you live like this?"

"You get used to it."

"You'd have to." Raven shook his head, all the lights suddenly went out but he could still see Teagen walking by again. Raven lay down after the man he shared a cell with did.
A bunch of long minutes went by when the man said something.

"I haven't had a good fuck in a while."

Raven snorted, knowing what he meant. "Yeah, I don't do that anymore."
