Odd Man Out

Of A Different Nature

"How much longer Fish? I'm dying here." C-Note complained as he placed his tray on the table. Sky and the guys all circled around.

"Calm down, they know who we are. Which means we need to stay under the radar." Michael sat beside Sky. T-Bag sat on her other side. "We've done this once before. They're constantly trying to separate us."

"We need to act fast." Sucre sat next to T-Bag.

"I'm with him." T-Bag added. "We can't be wasting any time pretty."

"You don't think I know that? My brother is back on death row."

"Isn't he always?" T-Bag mumbled. Sky laughed under her breath. T-Bag smirked back at her.

"Give me a week." Michael stood up from the table and left.

After lunch, Sky strolled around the barracks watching men play cards and trade goods. She actually found some of their stories interesting. A guy in block thirty-seven had a daughter and two wives. Seriously, she was astonished.

As she walked along the stairs T-Bag weaseled his way beside her. She rolled her eyes.

"Look who it is." Sky said.

"What's your plan?" T-Bag stuffed his hands into his pockets.

"My plan?"

"After we break our, what's the plan?"

"Probably gonna lay low for a bit, maybe leave the country."

"Not gonna finish the job?"

"What job?"

"Finishing off the old man."

"Oh," sky laughed. "Those days are behind me. I was a pretentious child."

"Ah," Theodore stopped in front of her. "But I think you should hold onto that passion." He traced his finger around her face again. "At one point it meant everything."

"Maybe." Sky slapped his hand to make him stop.

"I'd be careful pretty." T-Bag grasped onto her shirt collar. "Find who your allies are."

"I'm not afraid of you." She twisted his wrist. "But you should definitely be afraid of me." Her eyes changed from the once light-hearted girl to a brew being. T-Bag resisted her grasp and got his hand free.

"What an impeccable woman."

T-Bag pushed up against a lonely corner that shielded them from everyone's view. Sky's eyes widened from shock. T-Bag forcefully grabbed her hips and pulled her in. Sky lifted her left leg around him. His hands clung against Sky's as he pressed them against the wall above her head.

"Don't talk back to me again." T-Bag pulled away, letting her free. Sky brushed herself off. T-Bag walked away without another glance.
