"So you've know her for what, almost two months, and you told her you love her? And you call me hopelessly romantic, papi." Sucre rambled in the dark tunnels.

"I told her the truth,-" "And what about the whole murdering thing? That doesn't scare you?" He interrupted.

"I know she's innocent, don't ask me how I know." I said before we reached the door to the control room, I hushed him before peeking it opened, it was empty, just like I had thought.

I motioned for him to come in.

As we waited for Rosa to come in after us, we cut off some of the cameras that we would be passing tonight, in a few of the exits.

"Aye, is that Rosa?" Sucre said and I perked up, looking over at the door.

Sucre mumbled something in Spanish before telling me to come quick, I walked across the room as he watched the cameras in the basement.

My lips parted as my heart stopped as I watched the blonde hair girl stumble through a hallway.

She fell to the ground, her face scrunched up in pain as she held her side.

Blood covered half of clothing, she must've been bleeding pretty severely.

I couldn't take my eyes off of her though, she stood up again, leaning on the wall as she barely walked a few more feet before she fell face down, she laid there on her stomach, not moving.

We heard scuffling outside of the control room, Sucre pulled me away from the monitor, back into the tunnels.

We stayed for a minute, "We heard some sort of screaming coming from the basement under C-Block, we're going to need medics and S.W.A.T down there as soon as we can." We heard a CO report over the radio, before he radioed in the coordinates of a seemingly dead inmate.

I started running as fast as I could towards the area where she was, knowing she couldn't be dead.

Sucre struggled to keep up with me, but we were still too late.

We looked around a corner to see the medical team putting the body on a gurney before rushing her away.

Sucre begged me to go back to our cell before it was too late, so I called it off for the second time.

--

"She can't be dead.. She can't be." I paced at 6am a whole day and a half after the incident, in the cell.

We've been on lockdown since that night because someone was found in the tunnels and a CO claimed he was assaulted by the girl and he used self defense, cutting her side before he escaped the evil grasp of Rosa Young.

Sucre just watched me lose my mind, he's said all he could to try and calm me down, but nothing worked because I wasn't 100% percent sure that the girl I loved was safe, or even alive.

"Rogers, have you heard anything?" I noticed a CO walking past my cell.

"The last I heard its not good, she wasn't alive when they found her." He apologized before leaving in a hurry, I noticed a bandage around his hand, but didn't think much of it because he works with criminals everyday, and he just confirmed my worst fear..

I wasn't able to protect one of the people I cared about most, she died, right after I promised I would protect her.

A/N short chapter:/ have you figured out who the guy was whose been raping and murdering the men? 🙃 rosa is dead??? (Michael freaking out is pictured)
