BANG and CLANK the metal bars closing to hold the people who just can’t seem to get life straight. It all ranges from poor little boys that got their hand stuck in the cocaine cookie jar all the way into killers that just don’t care for the mundane people. Yelling and screaming of people thinking they were trapped. The walls around me trapping me in a pale cage that thinks it is stronger than me. Smelling the chemical-cleaning agents that could knock a person out. I took a deep breath of air that tasted like dry blood and desperation to get out.
Dragging my lazy body out of bed to have the first swing at the shower before the rush. Grabbing the little cleaning stuff I had and went to the shower. The cold water pushed against my skin. I find the easiest to think when in the shower. My plan, I’ll let you in on it. Like every other jail I’ve been sent to I will not be staying my whole sentence. It’s like a game for myself to see how long it takes to get out of a prison. I almost got it all down. The guards are into the bad girls. I get one of those guys to take me to see the office. Take him down and steal the master card and his uniform. There is no way I can get out of here without some kind of disguise. I’m not real normal looking white hair that had been dyed too much and a scar under the eye. Then when to loading dock that all ways had something getting shipped in.
When I got back into my cell my cellmate Candy had woken up.
“ What’s up my cracker girl friend?” she said trying to get her hair into place.
“ Nothing much Candy same old and same old”
“ You know that is not funny, “ she said looking at me.
Candy is here for taking a punch to her dealer. He left his weed stash in her car when she got pulled over. Not that she deserved it just how it all works. Good people get screwed over. I would know I have hurt some good people.
In the cafeteria we started to eat something that is far from breakfast. I was not sitting with Candy and her dealer girl’s. I was sitting with my people even if they’re all male.
“ So Max you go to hit the run soon” said Carlos who was trying to swallow all his food at all at once.
With a sharp kick to his shin “ You want me to kick your ass all the way to next Sunday” I said sounding like the monster that I am.
“ Sorry I just want to know when I’m going to lose my chica,” he said with a smirk.
“ I’m not your anything,” I said holding up the gold finger.
“ I love you too chica.” said Carlos when Mark’s hand connected with the back of his neck.
“OUCH WHY YOU DO THAT,” Carlos rubs his neck.
“ Leave her alone you know she is the only one that can get out of here” Marks said then winking at me.
“ All female inmates in the yard” said the most robotic voices next to R2D2.
“ Sorry boys got to blaze” leave hearing the cat calls behind me when I walk into the light.
In the yard all the female inmates tried to catch some sun rays and get a tan. I try to not burn all my skin cells I was standing next to the wall. Then three very big women walked towards me.
“ Hi sweetheart” said a blond and way to buff to not be named Buffy.
“ Names Buffy what’s yours” she said trying to act cool.
Dumb and dumber smirked when Buffy looked back at them, at that time I walked away.
“ Hey where you going” she yelled at me.
“ Trying to find something worth my time,” I said smiling.
" Hey you little turd get back here” she pulled her fist back to punch my face
“ No fighting,” said a blond and handsome young guard.
Then they walked away not wanting more time for fighting.
Back in the cell Candy was smiling over the blond guard that saved me from going into a fight with no reason. Yes, I’m a theft and I don’t like to fight. Don’t get me wrong I can whoop anyone’s ass back to last Sunday; I just don’t enjoy physical fighting. I enjoy the mind games instead.
“ He is so cute to bad that boy is as white as fresh white snow,” said Candy I forgot to tell that she is extremely racist.
“ Whatever not my type” I said as I flash a smile and wave to the chubby guard. He smiled back to me and opens the cell door. I heard Candy mutter “ poor guy”.
After a few moments of fighting with this guy I get pissed. The window for my escape is closing quickly. He pushes me to the ground and is trying to get my wrists. I grab the nearest thing next to me. Floor Cleaner it said and trying it out squirt it into his face. His eyes go weak and he stills I push him off me and get to business.
Wearing the over large uniform that I stole and the floor cleaner I look in the loading dock for anything going to Seattle. My gold ticks home the truck that brings the soap next stops Seattle. Then it all went south and I broke one rule on breaking out of prisons no prisoners. Well that's not how it went. Now I’m stuck in a truck to Seattle with the blond guard from his driver licenses said was the same age as me and name is Connor.
“ WHAT THE HECK IS THIS PLACE” said Connor just walking up from being passed out in a truck that brought soap to the prison and now he is in my apartment.
“ In my apartment and say thank you I bought dinner” I said holding up two big bags of McDonalds.
“ THANK YOU but please untie me so I can arrest you and get your ass back in jail YOU CRAZY BITCH” he said screaming on the top of his lungs.
“ Only your hands so you can eat” I said untying his hands.
I know he wants to yell at me more but I can see his hungry for food take over.
I start to pull out 3 big Macs and 2 fries.
“ You want to have a heart attack,” he asked smirking.
“ I was in prison for 3 months I’m pampering myself” I said my voice edging towards pissed.
The next day was better to say the least he stop trying to escape and scream every time I turn my back.
I was getting ready for the job I got down in the more expansive area of Seattle. 5 story house and trust me I had to pack 10 T-bones so I can keep my ass clean from their dogs. Packing everything I saw Conner watching me when asked a question no ever asked me.
“ Why are you a theft?” he asked looking at me straight in the eyes which not a lot have the guts to do.” I mean you are smart and you could probably have any job with the cleaner lives in the world.”
“ It’s a monkey see monkey do stuff with my Bonnie and Clyde parents. Also don’t insult the prisoners you watch most got screwed over” I said snapping my gun together.
Every week that went by we got closer and closer until it was like we were family. I even had a little crush on him. But I’m a monster and I dragged him into the fun life with me. Until that night everything went south.
Police were running around breaking down my doors. Conner was screaming at them to let me go and I was hauled off.
“ So can I get a deal?” I said looking at my lawyer in the eyes.
He started to laugh at me saying that I’m going to be here for a long time. I’m ok with that it means the game starts again and this place is bigger so more fun. When the guard dragged me off into the yard I see the thing that makes me happy the most.
“So when do we get out of here partner?” said Connor wearing a smirk and an orange jumpsuit. I think I just made a neat monster to the poor people and I’m happy about it.
“Soon my child we are going to out of here soon” I said.
“ Then we can do what we want,” Connor said smiling
“I really did make a monster,” I said
“ No you made a family for your crazy ways” Connor said holding my hand.
