Welcome To The: BUNK

22

           I gripped Maggies eldow as we slithered thru the dwindling clumps all shuffling towards the elevator. The sounds of the swipes and bing of the card on the swipe pad and the shuffle of slow steps filled the hall. Bruces strong low voice domaiting and room for hushed conversation, ordering 'next'. Maggie know pulled thru the last shuffled clump, we were now standing infront of the white bunk cafeteria doors, the lights inside off.

"This way Tip" Maggie ordered. Turning to go down the left hallway leading away from the silver doored elevator, the cafeteria, stair case and the growing smaller groups of inmates going to 'training'. I walked beside Maggie know as her pale face was blank in deep thought. I swung the know barley bamp plastic bag over my shoulder know that only a few inmates were walking the other direction in this hallway.

"Where are you going maggie training is this way?" a voice called from down the hall. Halting our unison footsteps. I looked to Maggie to watch her turn around and adress the caller. I looked over my shoulder to see it was a tall build guy with a shaved brown head, a large square head sat on his muscled neck. I realized it was one of the guys that started a fist fight with another last night buring dinner. I looked closly and saw a formering black eye.

"Tip here got lost Travis i was just showing her to a less crowded elevator" she answerws her voice flat. Travis raised a thin eye brow his lips pulled into a tight line.

"Do you have a card?"

"Not yet, i just got mine tacken away. To many unauthorized late walks Jane said," Maggie answered. I tenced as Travis reached a thick arm behind his back and started walking toward us. Without knowing i pulled my bag off my shoulder and to my chest as a potential weapon.

"Here take mine. I found my old one under Shawns bed in a shoe, sneaky dork must of thought it would of been funny. i have two now, just take it" he said a few steps away and pulled his hand forward to show a scan card. Then he leaned forward as Maggie reached for the card.

"I'll cover for you" then he turned and walked back up the hall and turned the corner. Maggie gave me a slight nod.

"Do you remeber him?" she asked me her voice low. We continued walking at a faster pace now.

"What?" i asked. Then looked around was she asking someone else? Anger then crawled up the coil twisted around my brain.

"You really have no clue who that was Tip?"

"You'd think the confused looks and blank stares im probably showing you, would give you the answer your looking for" i snapped back. She narrowed her eyes the mysterious gleam shinning , thats what blew the lid off my patience.

"Maggie please start making sence here, no i dont remeber that guy or you im sorry but i dont or how you now my name. Please. Just. Tell. Me" i hissed out keeping my gaze locked with hers. Her face twisted into confusion as she slightly turned her head down to me.

"Do you remeber Eveline?" she whispered as she lead the way to another silver elevator and reached into her jacket pulling out the scan card.

"Ellie?" I shock my head as a replie not trusting my self to keep my voice calm and collected. A moment later the elevator doors opened and she stepped in me following after in questain. She didnt speak until the doors slide close

" wait do they still go by last names in the Bunk?" she asked. I nodded again wanting to ask questains but new she would revile the answers soon hopfully.

"Maybe you remebr her as Lo Vallo?" she questioned raising a thin light brown eye brow. Lo Vallo? Lo Vallo?...was that her name?... Yes! That was her my former bunkmate! My groups former leader!
