8. A beautiful pawn

"Are you nervous for tonight?" I asked as I finished washing my body, as Michael sat by the sinks, per norm.

He shrugged, "I think it'll go without a hitch."

I turned off the shower and wrapped a towel around my body, I walked towards Michael.

"How are you so confident about breaking out of a maximum security prison?" I whispered harshly as I got closer.

"Because I've run through the plan a million times, memorizing the route, knowing where everyone will be-" "That reminds me, why do I have to be distracting Bellicks? I mean, how will I get away from him?" I asked about the head guard who particularly hated Michael.

"Don't worry, like I said, I've planned for the things I haven't even planned for." He said holding my arms and I looked at him seriously.

Some sort of flicker of guilt or regret flashed in his eyes, but I ignored it.

"But it'll be difficult without Abruzzi," I added, "Thanks to T-Bag being his normal, selfish self." He finished for me.

There was a chance that we'd have to leave one person behind, so T-Bag sliced Abruzzi's neck, getting him out of the picture asap.

But he was sent to a big hospital in Chicago, and no ones heard anything from him.

It was go time.

I breathed deeply as I walked over to Bellicks, twisting my hair with my fingers.

"I was wondering if you could show me where the gym is." I smiled up at the intimidating man.

I already knew where the gym was: it was across the prison, but I just need to take Bellicks with me for a few minutes.

I walked with him, making conversation as I took my time walking.

After ten minutes of walking, we finally reached the gym, I smiled and blew him a kiss as he left the gym, he couldn't quit staring as I walked over to the locker room.

I turned around to see the door closing, which meant he finally left.

I exhaled loudly before I started making my way back to my cell, which was in a different direction than the way Bellicks went.

I walked quickly, not so much because I was scared of any of my fellow inmates, because they all knew that I was under Michael's protection, which meant I was under Abruzzi's protection, but because I didn't know what I was supposed to do after I got Bellicks away from the infirmary.

I stopped walking as I figured out Michael's whole play in my head.

Time seemed to slow down as I looked at the men looking at me weirdly.

I walked even quicker to my cell, realizing that I was just a pawn in his game.

All he wanted was someone to distract Bellicks for a few minutes, so they could get Lincoln out of the infirmary.

My heart sank as I thought about how the last month, they've all been lies..

It broke my heart.
