Hacking Alderson

//Chapter 8// Lexi's Heart

Elliot POV

I do my usual regimen and have lunch with Leon. He's on Mad About You now and it's fucking with him worse than Seinfeld. "Have you talked to my sister?" He asks pausing his tirade on the complicatedness of the show. "She came earlier." I answer. I couldn't tell her the half of what goes on here without upsetting her. I always want her happy no matter the cost. I guess you can say she's my exploit. The ray of light in the void I call existance. "You're smiling and it's really creeping me out man." Leon says. "I was just thinking." I reply. "About my baby sister huh. I like you man but if you break her heart I wouldn't be able to look over it." He says. Where was he when Vera would terrorize her on a daily basis? He smiles rebalancing the mood, "Course you're not a problem." He says. 

After Lunch on dish duty

"Hey Elliot, can you do me a favor?" Carl asks. "I need a mop from the broom closet but I don't have clearance since I'm not on dish duty." He says. I go to the closet and open it for him. "Thanks man." He replies. He leaves and I relock the door. I'd rather him clean his own shit up than add another job to the long list I already have. Him and his crew do everything in their power to make living here a living hell and I could care less about his random spills. 

I go back to washing the dishes when he returns with the mop broken. "What did you do?" I ask. "Just snapped, man." He answers. I sigh and take the pieces from him. After filing a "broken" report I go back to my cell. Seconds later Mr Robot shows up. "You're wasting time in this shithole. Just end it and go home. I know you miss Lexi." He says. "She comes visit." I reply. "And that's enough? You practically drooled over her earlier. Go home and you can have her all to yourself." He says. He has an obsession with Lexi, she scares him for some reason. When we first got here he'd try to convince me she was cheating on me to get me to leave, obviously it didn't work. "You don't mean that." I reply. "Anything to end this. You're making mistake after mistake. Carl didn't need that mop to do anything, anything legal anyway! He probably used it on somebody how could you snap a thick wooden mop handle in half." He warns. Disregarding him, I write in my journal and lay down.

Breakfast

I dreamt about Lexi. We were laying in a field of flowers and she had on a white gown. I had on a whitejump suit. She was running her fingers through my hair singing to me. I'm not into gushy but I loved it.

I grab my tray from the lineup and turn to Santos. He sucker punches me and his cronies jump in kicking me. I fight them off and get some good hits in on him before the guards break us up. By now theres a full brawl and food fight. They drag us away and lock us in our cells.

"What did you do?!" I ask Mr Robot. "I told the truth." He answers. "While you were sleeping, dreaming up erotic fantasies with Lexi I took over and did some recon. Turns out Carl beat the shit out of Santos with the mop. Santos went looking to find out how he got it and I was kind enough to clue him in." He says. I push him against the wall by his collar. "You just put an X on our back!!" I say. "Calm down Alderson." Lone Star says passing by. I let Mr Robot go. "I just got jumped because of you, when this is over you're gone!" I say. He draws a gun. "You couldn't get rid of me if you tried." He says. "Now you're going to go to Ray's computer and arrange for us to get out." He orders. You don't control me I control you! Go fuc--" I begin. He pulls the trigger.
