"Well, I don't think she'll be able to find us very well. So don't worry too much about it." The warden said patting my back lightly.

"Yeah. But knowing her, you'd be really surprised." I rolled my eyes as I walked back into the cafeteria.

"Well, thanks for walking me down." I shrugged as he smiled at me. "It's no problem. Oh- and by the way, I noticed something missing from my room.. A safe..? Have you seen it?" He asked me crossing his arms curiously.

I raised a brow. "Geez, a safe? How the hell did somebody manage to take that? I have no clue, sorry sir." I shrugged.

"It's fine. Ill find it. I'll just do a check on all the inmates. Not a big deal." He said as I laughed nervously.
"Yeah.. Well I'm gonna go back to my food.. Hope you find it." I smiled at him and walked back to my table.

Panic traced my face as I sat down. "We have a problem." I said to them all as Nicky raised a brow.

"What kind of problem?" He asked narrowing his eyes onto me.
"Uhm.. Well.. The warden noticed the safe being gone.. And since we all still can't find it- whoever has it right now.. is gonna be fucked." I said looking at them all.

"Are you fuckin kiddin me??" Nicky asked glaring a bit.
"No.." I said in a small voice a little scared.

"Well then whoever has it, it's their problem. Not mine." Stingray shrugged as I glanced at him annoyed.

"He's doing a check on every inmate. He just told me." I said. "Well do you know when??" Nicky asked as I shook my head no.

"No. I have no clue." I said as stingray narrowed a brow. "Well we need to find it before somebody else does." He said as I shrugged. "I don't think other inmates care about it as much as you guys do." I said honestly.

"Who gives a shit! We need to find it! I'm not busting my ass again to go steal it back from the damn warden." Nicky glared pounding a fist onto the table.

"Look... I-If it's that much of a hassle for you guys.. Say if he does find it, and he puts it back into his room or office again, I could probably go steal it back for you." I shrugged as they all raised a brow to me.

"No way. That's putting way too much pressure on you. If you got caught that would be shit. You'd probably get locked up in a fucking dungeon knowing the warden." Paul rolled his eyes.

"Well then what do you want me to do?" I asked.
"She'll be fine! He loves her! She could get away with pretty much anything." Nicky said as I shrugged.

"I guess." I mumbled.

"Idiots. We're not gonna have her go seduce the warden if she gets caught. She's not a puppet." Stingray growled as I glanced at him in slight disbelief.

Since when does he stand up for me?

"Who made you boss of what she can or can't do?" Nicky asked him questionably with a raised brow crossing his arms.

"Nobody. It's just common curtesy. Besides, she controls herself. Not us." He shrugged with a slight glare at Nicky.

"Who the hell turned you into a fruit cake??" Nicky asked grimacing.
" 'cause I know sure as hell it wasn't these two." He pointed at Jean and Paul.
"Hey!" Paul made a crooked frown.

"Sorry." Nicky mumbled at them as Paul rolled his eyes.

"Whatever! Who cares about that right now! We have bigger problems." I budded in.

"I'll do whatever I have to do if we can get it back." I sighed.
"Fine then. It's settled. You just let us know if he gets it back or not. Alright sweetheart?" Nicky asked standing up as I nodded.

"Sure thing." I mumbled rolling my eyes looking away from him.

"So what's really going on with you and fishface?" Nicky asked me as I walked beside him going down the halls.

"Well, nothing really. We were both just drunk and I guess he ended up in my bed this morning." I lied with a shrug.

"Ended up in your bed how?" He asked trying to get a more clear answer out of me.
"If you're asking if we did anything, we didn't." I shivered at the thought as he grimaced.

"Good." He said as I nodded. "Anyways, he was just laying on my bed next to me. I think he passed out there last night or something." I shrugged again.

"Either way, it's not going to happen again." I said blushing faintly.

Even though I sort of wanted it to.

"Yeah, you don't wanna be with him anyways. He's a creep." Nicky said as I giggled. "Well he's not really, but he's kinda annoying." I smirked faintly.

"That, you're definitely right about." He laughed.
"Sydney~!" I heard my voice being called by the one and only warden.

I turned around and raised a brow with a curious look on my face.
Nicky rolled his eyes while crossing his arms.
"Oh uh, yeah?" I asked with a small smile.

"Would you like to go to dinner with me tonight? Alice is cooking," he said nervously as I nodded.
"Yeah sure. It sounds fun." I shrugged.

"Really? Great! I'll have Alice drop you off a casual dress for tonight then. And I'll get you around six."  He said as I nodded with a smile.
"Okay." I said as he walked away grinning.

"What the hell was that?" He asked grimacing at the scene with a shake of a head.
"What? You didn't think that was adorable?" I asked him as he stuck his tongue out in disgust.

"Hell no. Besides, he shouldn't care what you're wearing. If he truly liked you, he would think you wearing that jumpsuit was the hottest thing ever." He shrugged as I narrowed my eyes up at him slightly.

"Oh yeah? Well maybe he was just being generous." I shrugged as we kept on walking. "What do you know anyways. You didn't approve of me and stingray together, or now the warden just trying to flirt with me." I made a crooked frown.

"Well I know what it's like to go on a date. Don't act like I don't know. I have me a girl back in Cleveland." He said as my brows raised up in amusement.
"You?! You, have a girlfriend?" I asked holding back a snicker.

"Yeah. I do." He said as I giggled. "Sorry, it's just kinda surprising." I said shrugging a shoulder at him as he raised a brow.

"How so?" He asked me.
"Well, like I said, you always seem like you never want me to end up with somebody. But maybe you're just looking out for me." I said as he pat my head with his strong hand.

"Kid, I'm lookin' out for you. All Stingray would do to you, is take advantage of you." He said as I frowned faintly.
"But why?" I asked him confused.

"Beats me. He's just that kind of person." He looked at me with slight empathy.

"Oh.." I mumbled looking down. "And the warden?" I asked curiously.

"Ehh, he's just a fuckin loner. He falls in love with the first girl he sees, every time." He smirked faintly.

"Oh." I said simply as he sighed. "Look kid.. I just don't wanna see you get hurt. But I mean, if you like stingray, you could try it. Maybe you'll earn some experience or knowledge afterwords." He said as I nodded.

"I guess."

"So, you know, sorry if I'm so hard on 'ya." He said as I smiled sadly. "No, you're not really. Now I understand why though." I said as he smiled down at me.

"Well, I'll let you go get ready for tonight. Have fun kid." He said as I smiled with a nod.

"Thanks." I beamed and walked off to my cell.
