Sanity: The Saw Chronicles [C]

Chapter 27 | Three

Waking up, I felt my skin along another's. Though his chest might be built like Kuza's, I knew it wasn't. Chris had beautiful tattoos but I wish I was waking up to someone else's ink. Regardless, I'm grateful for the way he opened his arms for me when I needed some comfort. I should say, opened his arms and opened my legs. It made me sleep well at least.

He pulled me closer, which made me feel somewhat safe. This was still Angelo's man and his bed. I didn't want to overstay my welcome. They're both very possessive of each other. Even know, in his sleep, Angelo is clung to Chris.

"You okay?" Chris sleepily whispered to me.

"Yeah," I sighed, "I just wish I was waking up to Mike. No offense."

"None taken. The few mornings I've been forced to wake up without my angel have been so lonely. I know what it feels like." He responded.

It hurt to talk about. I just about shut down anytime I tried to. It's for the best I get back to my usual work. Ryan always told me when I got upset that I should go torture someone. It would make me feel better. Speaking of, I should go see him. He's probably awake now. I was so tired that I did start to drift off again but the door suddenly opening made me jump straight awake.

As I sat up, I saw my dear sweet husband standing there. "God, you're pathetic." He scoffed.

Chris got pissed because his bargaining in woke up Angelo. He sat up, running his hand over Ange's soft black hair. "Look who's talking." He responded, glaring him down.

Every time I set my eyes on that fucker, I grit my teeth. "Unless you're here to tell me you've got Mike out, I don't want to see you."

"I kind of did. I had to work out a compromise with my boss. He won't be going back to ADX but he's not going to be a free man for awhile. He has to stay in a cell here for the next six weeks." Ricky set a keycard on the dresser, next to my phone. "You can visit him but keep it brief and don't do it a lot. You're also the only one cleared to see him right now, so don't bring anyone else. I need all three of you to meet me in the common room in the next ten minutes."

"For what?" Chris snapped at him.

Ricky shot him a dirty look over his shoulder, "Just do it." He pulled the door shut behind him, making Angelo jump since he wasn't fully awake. Fucking asshole.

I guess having this is better than nothing. I'll at least get to see Kuza. He's going to be fucking pissed about all of this. Here's to hoping I have the ability to tame the savage beast. Maybe if he has good behavior they'll let him out earlier than he's supposed to get out. I got myself out of bed and started to pull on some clothes. My makeup from yesterday was still on my face. Surprisingly it wasn't too messy.

The other two pulled themselves out of bed, though they didn't want to. Angelo was like a little puppy in the mornings. He never wanted to get up but he wasn't that mad about it. I waited on them to get dressed, then we headed to the main room. The others were all sat around too. At least Ricky didn't unfairly wake up just us.

"This better be good." Ryan-Ashley said into a yawn.

"You all can go back to sleep after this." He replied, "Reese and I have to leave for a few days. While I'm gone, agent Moore will be watching over you."

"We don't need to be babysat." Manson seethed.

Ricky gestured down to his bandaged arm, "I beg to differ." He turned his attention away as the agent he was referring to came down the hall. "This would be him."

"This is all of them?" He asked as he examined our group of misfits.

"Ryan is in the hospital right now. Mike is... chained up. You don't have to worry about him." He responded.
