innocent // prison break

7. "When we get out.."

R O S A

"The day is coming up soon, do you think it'll work?" I asked Michael as we stood outside.

Michael, t-bag, sucre and Abruzzi have been working hard to dig tunnels and Michael is never not planning the route.

He nodded, "But we have one more person coming along." He said nodding towards the older man who sat by himself.

"D.B Cooper." I nodded, I couldn't remember the name he was going by, but everyone here assumed that he's the D.B Cooper.

The last few weeks have flown by, I've gotten very few visits from my sister, she's still trying to find a good lawyer to take my case, and it kills me when I can't tell her that I'm getting out in just a short time.

T-Bag has slowly become less creepy, but I still can't be left alone with him, or at least that's what Michael insists.

Michael connected my cell to the tunnels as well, so now I can get out behind my sink as well.

Nothing has happened between us after the showers, other than talking over the plan a few times a day.

And he'll take me to the showers and keep guard when I shower.

"He said he'll have the money that we'll need to leave the country." "Leave the country?" I repeated as I looked up at him as we sat on some bleachers out in the yard.

His nose was turning pink as watched everyone do their own thing in their free time.

"Well, we can't exactly stay in Chicago." He chuckled and I humphed, resting my chin on my palm.

"What?" He said looking at my puzzled expression.

"What?" I sat up, looking over at him to see him already looking at me with a small smile.

"What is that face for?" He chuckled.

"Oh. I just never thought about leaving my family behind.." I shrugged, "But I do understand that's what has to be done if I want to be truly free."

"When we get out, can I ask you on a date?" He asked and I looked up at him, surprised by his question.

I slightly smiled before slowly nodding, I didn't want to show my actual excitement.

"Here," He said stepping off the bleachers and grabbing something off the ground.

He stood up and placed something in my hand, letting it linger.

I looked down to see a small dandelion in my hand, "It must be spring." I smiled to myself.

"That is to symbolize my promise to take you out for a huge, delicious meal." He smiled widely.

"Like pizza?" I smiled cheekily, because I couldn't believe how munched I missed even the simplest of foods.

He nodded with a smirk.

"Let's say this hole in the ground actually leads us to the maintenance room, and then what?" T-Bag doubted Michael's ingenious plan.

"There's a shaft that I've corroded, we'll break through it and it'll lead us the the infirmary, Lincoln will be waiting for us there, from there on, we go through some tunneling which will lead us to a man hole." Michael explained like it was no biggie.

"And what about the cops?" T-Bag continued to question as we all worked on the officers locker room, there was recently a fire in there so they have the PI team repair the whole little shack.

Before Michael could answer, we heard keys jingling and immediately covered up the hole in the middle of the cement floor with a rug, and then Sucre and I moved a table over it so no one fell in.

A newer CO came in, telling us to take a 15 minute break, outside near the yard.

He seemed like he was in a hurry, so we hurried.

All six of us (Rosa, Michael, T-bag, Lincoln, Sucre, and D.B Cooper.) left the building and walked around a different building.

I watched the CO take a nurse into the shack and I covered my mouth to keep from laughing.

"That bastard.." Michael said with his hand on the wall behind me, and his chest against my back.

"He's got guts." I shrugged as the men talked amongst themselves.

I leaned back on the brick wall as Michael leaned beside me, he was still facing me though.

"What if they fall through.." I tried not to laugh but it was hard to keep it in.

The small building didn't have much soundproofing, so we heard some moaning.

My eyes widened as I looked up at Michael, he covered my mouth with his hand, knowing that I couldn't contain my laughter very well.

A smile played on his lips as he hushed me, his eyes widened too, I took his hands and held one of his large hands with both of my small ones.

I didn't listen to the men make inappropriate comments as I looked up at Michael.

The girl started screaming yes and I lost it, I leaned forward and rested my forehead on Michael as I laughed, and he even started laughing as the other guys started laughing loudly.

I leaned back onto the brick wall as I caught my breath.

I looked up at Michael to see him already looking at me with such a sweet smile.

"They're gone!" T-Bag spoke loudly, I cleared my throat as I let go of Michael's warm hand.

We went into the shack after the couples quick hookup, I was the first in and I covered my mouth, "They were half an inch from falling in." I shook my head as the rest of the men came in.

They must've had fun on the table, making it scoot around on the carpet, causing it to almost kill or seriously injure a CO and nurse.

"Too close to home." Sucre said as he looked at the leg only centimeters for from the pit.
