Unassailable Destinies

Chapter Six

Running out of the room she was thankful to see the second barrier, an iron barred door had been left open when the guards ran to assist Alex. Her feet moved quick and she had no intent in looking behind her as she ran down the straight corridor. Seeing she was coming to a turning point she made a hast right turn, but was instantly stopped in her tracks. Just as she was about to complete the turn a hard object hit in square in the throat, and between her wet shoes and the force of the blow she ended up falling to the hard ground beneath. Clutching onto her throat, she began coughing feeling the sudden pain, looking up she saw Griggs stood above her with a menacing smirk on his lips. "Mother of all that is holy, that fucking hurts" she cursed, words rough sounding and her eyes becoming watery though she wouldn't allow tears to fall.

"You ain't getting passed me" he taunted before he peered down the corridor just in time to see the idiotic men getting to their feet to begin chasing her down. "All you guys couldn't handle one little girl?" he asked rhetorically, shaking his head disappointingly. "Get her back in there" he demanded. Alex and two other men ran up the corridor and took hold of Madison to drag her back into her cell as soon as possible, while she remained somewhat incapacitated as she struggled to get in air. "Who the hell opened the door anyway?" Griggs wondered walking behind the men. 

"That was me sir" Alex admitted. "She wasn't responding and I thought something was wrong"

"So you went in there unarmed and without back up?" he scoffed. The three men tossed her back into her room roughly and upon hitting the ground she slid into the back wall due to the water from the sprinklers. 

"It was nothing personal" she insisted her voice hoarse as she spoke to Alex before he left the room and the door was closed. 

(FWB) I wasn't going to hurt Alex, I wouldn't. The guards could have tried to call my bluff, but instead they sabotaged my first idea, so plan B came into action. I knew after this Alex certainly would want to help me, or possibly even talk to me. But like before, I saw an opportunity, I took it and for a few minutes I was succeeding. Exploiting Alex's caring nature towards me was a dick move and would probably be a one shot chance which had backfired. (EOFWB)

The top slot in her door remained open and soon after the door was closed, Griggs' face filled the gap. "For that you ain't getting your dinner and you can stay in those wet clothes tonight" he said, pointing to them. 

"You're not gonna use force Griggsy? I thought you said if I hurt or threatened a staff member that's what happened, and I think I just did both" she provoked as she stood up, her shoes sloshing through the water beneath as she walked to the door. "Don't wanna have fun with me like you did with Floyd? Or am I cutting short a meeting you have arranged with your blow up doll, huh?" she teased, smirking at him.

Keeping his eyes on hers he tilted his head and brought up his hand to speak into the walkie talkie. "Turn 'em on until there's enough water that she won't even be able to sit down to sleep tonight" Thus once again the sprinklers were turned on as Griggs finished speaking and grinned at her. "Have a nice evening"

"I was hoping to have a shower soon anyway" she retorted, shrugging nonchalantly. Though he didn't gain much of a reaction from her, Griggs was still content with himself as he shut the slot. 

"That was very ballsy of you, kudos" Floyd complimented her from the other side of the wall, per usual. 

"Thanks, but it's landed me with my own kiddy pool for the night. Asking for that blanket and pillow earlier was a bit pointless now" she remarked 

"Well hey, you want some of my loaf?" Floyd asked, smirking playfully. "I can break it up into little pieces and put in through the crack before the water get's too high" he teased playfully, holding up his unappealing loaf to the fissure.
