Sky sat on the edge of her bed staring down at her feet. Her hair was tied up in a tight bun with rosy pink make up Michael made. She wore the earrings her grandmother left her in the will.

Sky sat alone recalculating her next moves. Should she help out the guys by manipulating Walker? Or should she use the guys in a way to get parole? She could tell a guard their plans and manipulate them in a way to get years off of her sentence. But she could just break out with the guys. The possibilities may out way the costs.

"Hey there darlin'." A crackling voice echoed. Skylar looked up to see T-Bag leaning up against the bars of the cell.

"Hey."

"I don't think I've seen anyone as gorgeous as you do right there."

"Oh please-"

"Nope, don't move!" T-Bag quickly sat beside her. His finger traced the outline of her facial features. The soft powder rolled off the tip of his finger. "Nah, you looked better before."

"Is this your version of flirting? It's not helping." Sky looked back down at her feet.

"Just breath." He patted her back. "Breathing is all you can do in these kind of situations."

"The kind where you manipulate your ex-fiancé for personal gain?" She smirked.

"Well if you put it that way, yes."

"Goody."

"Ex-fiancé?"

"I'm in prison!"

"That's how teddy likes it." He stood up. "Don't betray us Viper." T-Bag left with a smile on his face. Sky groaned.

"Anders." A guard approached the cell.

"Yes, boss?" Skylar shakily stood up.

"You've got a visitor."

The guard placed handcuffs around Sky's fragile wrists and guided her out the barracks. She went into the visiting building, where they undid the cuffs and shoved her into the room. There stood a tall man in a navy business suit. His hands were clasped behind him. He turned around, smiling softly in her direction. A flow of emotions overcoming her. She remembered his baby face and woody sent. She sat down at the table that stood on the middle of the room. He pulled out a chair as well.

"It's really you." Walker's eye lit up.

"In the flesh." Sky swallows her nerves.

"Incredible, you can still look that beautiful even in prison."

"I've heard..."

"I don't mean to sound abrasive, but has anyone touched you?" Walker leaned over the table. "Because if they have you know I'm a lawyer Sky, this whole situation is illegal as it is."

"I've tried."

"They can't do this to you."

"You can't help me if you give me, you know." She shook her head to his satchel.

"Oh," Walker stared down at his bag. "Are you sure about this?"

"Are you?"

"You know I'd do anything for you."

"Anything?" Sky entangled her fingers with his.

Sky left the visiting center with a mischievous smile. After the guard threw her back into the barracks the boys surrounded her.

"Do you have it?" Michael looked for any wondering eyes around him.

"And more." She leaned up to his ear. "There's gonna be a package in a few days too. But for now I have the card that's linked up to a private savings."

"God, I love lawyers!" T-Bag listened in. Sky and Michael glared at him.
