ToxicJack - Night Shift - Part 1

Requested by: Squeaker01

~Jack's (or Sean's) POV~

I walk down the lit corridor, passing each cell. I work the night shift for a high security prison far away from the city, or anywhere really. The inmates were fast asleep in their cots, all of them except one, well I don't think he is. Ya see, every cell has bars to see through except for this one cell at the end of the hall, the above lights for some reason turned off making it dark over there. The other guards never told me anything about it except to stay away and not to open it. But, that just made me even more curious. I have this idea that maybe I can just shine my flashlight into the small slot of the door and peek in, that'll work, right!?

I grab my flashlight from my belt and click the button, the light instantly tuning on and blinding me for a moment. As soon as my eyes adjust to the darkness again, I slowly push the slot open and shine the light inside, eyes looking around for something, anything moving. I'm about to give up when something moves in the corner, it was fast and too dark to see what it was, but I saw it.

"Hello?" I tilt my head to get a better view inside while struggling to hear anything.

Nothing.

Probably just a rat or something. If it's empty, then no one will mind if I look around right?

I take a deep breath and take out my keys, looking for the right one to open the door, "Huh, that's weird." I say to obviously no one.

I look closely at all the keys, but find it strange that there was no key to unlock the door.

Should I just bust it down? No, they'll obviously notice that.

Turning around, I start walking back towards my office, or desk and chair sitting in the hall, when I hear the slot on the door slowly lift up, like something inside was pushing it open to look at me. I instantly spin around and look, but as soon as I look, the slot flops back down.

Something is definitely in there.

I shrug it off for now and continue to my desk. It is a small wooden desk sitting up against a wall with a fold up chair in front of it, best office ever. I sit down and lean back, the thought of a nap coming to mind since this job is so easily boring and easy. I prop my feet up on my desk and slowly close my eyes.

I'm jolted awake as my chair leans back too far and falls backwards, me along with it. I look around and instantly think somethings wrong, somethings missing...I pat the top of my head, eyes widening as I find my hat is gone! Someone took it, and that means a prisoner is wondering about.

Maybe they aren't dangerous? I mean if they were then they would have taken a weapon not my...hat.

I take a deep breath and grab my baton before starting to walk down the low lit halls of the prison, quiet snores coming from some of the cells as I pass. Suddenly, as I turn the corner, I see the doors to the mess hall open, a bright light shining into the hallway that I stood in. Nervously, I walk over and go inside the room, baton out and ready to knock someone out if necessary, but as I entered I realized that the place was empty.

Am I going crazy?

I turn around quickly at the sound of the double doors slamming shut behind me, a guy standing behind me with a malicious grin. He had red wings sprouting from his back, a red tail to match, and one bright, green, septic eye. By the weirdest thing was that he looked, just. Like. Me. Unfortunately he was a bit taller than me, so it was obviously making me uncomfortable when he came really close and towered over me.

"Hey, Jack. Getting kind of curious aren't ya?" He says.

Confusion suddenly overwhelmed me, "What are ya talking about!?"

He laughs, "The door, I saw you looking in." He narrows his eye at me.

I gulp, "I wanted to know what was in there." I answer.

The guy doesn't say anything, just looks at me with a smirk before turning towards the door and opening it, but before he left, "Toxic." He says.

"What?" I ask in confusion.

He sighs, "That's my name, Toxic. I'll be watching...Jack." After that, Toxic disappears into the hallway.

I stand there for a second, millions of questions racing inside my mind, but the one that stood out was...

Who is he...? And how did he know my name...

And where is my hat!?
