Kickdrum Beating in My Chest Again (Alternate Version)

Chapter 70

!!!!!!!!!!Author's Note!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Everyone! Happy Friday (technically Saturday, but pretty damn close)! I hope you all had a good week! We did band photos for my band this week and the rest of my week was nice and quiet. I had all this already typed out and then Google Chrome decided to close for some reason and I had to start over completely, which sucked, so that was fun. I don't know why it's making me center the whole part here to center the Author's Note, but I'm too tired to figure it out right now, so, sorry.

Anyways, this week Alex finds out how Dan and Joe's mission went, gets an update on Patrick, and Gabe and Brad finish torturing Earnesto.

Please read the trigger warning at the beginning of the chapter. These last to sessions of torturing Earnesto get graphic so if that triggers you, you should skip those parts. Stay safe everyone!

As always, enjoy, tell your friends and if you like it, please feel free to vote on my story or leave me comments. Happy Reading!

Chapter 70

*******Trigger Warning for Graphic Violence, Torture, and Rape*******

Alex is returning to the more violent side of the prison with his crew. They had headed that way after completing a job that Sawyer had ordered them to do. Alex and his crew were sent to the less violent side of the prison to rough up a group of inmates that were running an illegal gambling ring inside the prison and they were raking in a ton of cash. They'd refused to pay for protection or to pay a sizeable amount of their profit to Sawyer and the Simon City Royals, who ran most of the illegal gaming operations inside the prison. Instead, they'd chosen to try and run this gambling ring under the radar therefore bypassing the need to be loyal to anyone. When Sawyer found out, he was furious, and he'd ordered Alex and his crew to discipline, punish, and remind them who ran and organized most of the illegal gaming activities in the prison. Sawyer had also ordered them to take the gang's share of the earnings and make sure that these inmates knew how things were going to work in the future and to threaten them with death if they decided not to cooperate. Alex and his crew had excessively beat them to make sure that they learned their place in the prison hierarchy. Now all they had to do was report back to Sawyer and then they could go to dinner.

Alex was very interested in how Dan's mission and Joe's involvement in torturing Mateo, Earnesto, and Jesus had gone. He wondered if the guards had been informed of the two groups of incredibly injured, but alive members of the Nuestra Familia. Alex also wondered if they'd discovered the room where Gabe had released the vampires on Earnesto's thirty men who were all dead. He hadn't noticed any kind of increased activity that would point towards discovering one-hundred inmates that were barely still alive or the room full of the dead bodies of Earnesto's men. Maybe someone should tell the guards about them and where to find them. If they wait too long, the gang members that were left alive might not still be alive when they find them and no one likes the smell of rotting, decaying dead bodies.

Alex and his crew arrive back at Sawyer's cell to meet with him and inform him about how the job went. It takes about thirty minutes. Alex hands Sawyer the money that the inmates owed him and then they are free to go. Alex decides to go eat dinner on the other side of the prison so that he can talk to Dan and Joe and see how their individual missions went. He'd also like to get an update on Patrick. He meets with his guard, Carl, and asks to be taken to the mess hall on the other side of the prison. The walk there is long and quiet. Carl isn't much of a talker. Should he tell Carl about the gang members? He's not quite sure. He decides to run it past Dan and Joe before telling anyone. If I told Carl right now, that might backfire and lead to questions like how I knew that this attack took place, was I somehow involved and how did I know where to find them? It definitely makes more sense to wait and see what the others have to say. By the time Alex is done thinking, they've arrived at the mess hall. Carl opens the door, to let Alex in.
