Prisoner #99 (completed)

Officer 1828

I wake up surrounded by white walls. An IV stuck in my arm and a heart monitor beeping lazily. I suddenly feel a few bandages wrapped around my waist, ribcage, and chest. I slowly look around seeing Shamus sitting on a stool a blue police uniform beside him holding a badge with my name on it. I shift a little and smile at him. “ya know that doesn't look half bad with my name on it.” I  say my voice scratchy. He looks up at me smiles. “Welcome back to the land of the living.” he says. “how long have I been out?” I ask “about a month now.” he replies. The doctor comes over to me and almost burst with joy and surprise. “y-your awake! I thought- you shouldn't have-.” he stops then rushes out the door most likely to get the warden because he comes in a minute later. He waves everyone out except shamus. “your awake…..I thought we would need to plan your funeral before you started. Well any way I see you and shamus have gotten close any spare time he’s had he’s been up here with you. For the first two weeks then i just let him off until you woke up or….went.” he says and I nod.”what happened?” I ask looking at them. “you were stabbed multiple times in the chest, waist, and rib cage. In total you were stabbed about thirty times. If we hadn't seen you when we did you would be dead. You also died a few times on us but then decided you didn't want to go just yet.” I make a few faces not knowing what to think. “you are basically indestructible!” the warden exclaimes and I grin.

After a few weeks I swing my legs over the side of the hospital bed and put on half of my uniform then I put on my pants and stand using the bed to balance at first then I clip my badge on my shirt and hook my belt and gun on my pants. I sit down again and put on my boots waiting for shamus who doesn't take long in coming. “you sure your allowed in here sir?” I ask as he walks in making him grin “I don't know am I officer?” the warden walks in shaking his head “am I gonna need to separate you two already?” he asks and shamus shrugs “probably.” he states grinning. I stand up and he rushes over to help me putting his arm on my back and my arm on his shoulder. Together we hobble down the stairs filled with prisoners and guards alike they start cheering and chanting as we walk by the warden goes ahead and I realize we are going to the quartyard. as we round the last bend I see the warden waiting with three guards each with a handcuffed person. I walk in no longer leaning on shamus but walking beside him. The warden clears his throat and begins. “ carbon fist of all I would like for you to meet the people who tried very hard to kill you. I scan over the faces of the people in front of me, my old alpha a man named John phillips, a man named James Harper, and a girl named Carol Norman. He finishes explaining what's going to happen to them and hands me my gun. Shamus steps up and makes a small speech before clipping my badge on my shirt. I look at the number on my badge it reading: ‘carbon Casy  officer #1828’
