No-one uttered a single word during the journey back to the prison and once we arrived the governor just walked away, leaving me with two guards that I had never seen before. Taking one last look over his shoulder the governor stared at me, with a look of disgust and then went through the doors.
The two guards waited until the governor was out of sight and then grabbed my upper arms, before leading me into the prison. The place was deathly quiet, everyone out doing whatever they were supposed to and as we walked through the wing I was on I wondered if they were going to let me get out of the filthy clothes I was wearing, before I was locked away from the rest of the prison, but no such luck.
Taking me through another door I was led down two flights of stairs and through yet another door into a long corridor with doors on either side. Counting the doors in my head as I was led along we came to a halt halfway along the corridor and one of the guards removed a bunch of keys from his belt.
Inserting one of the keys he swung the door open, before I was roughly pushed into the cell, and the door slammed shut behind me. As I surveyed the room before me the small serving hatch on the door was opened, and I spun around.
"Hope you enjoy your time down here," one of the guards said laughing.
"Yeah I'm sure he will," the other guard replied.
"Just do as you're told and the week will fly by," the first guard added.
The hatch was then closed again and I listened as the two of them walked away, laughing.
Turning away from the door I looked at my new surroundings, an eight foot square room with nothing but a bed, wash basin and toilet and sat down on the bed. I couldn't believe that the boss had let things go this far and decided that, once I got out of solitary, I was going to make him pay. With nothing to do I lay back on the bed and closed my eyes, as I was alone and had worked hard I thought I may as well sleep.
I was just about drifting off when I heard a bang against the cell door, and I sat bolt upright, expecting the serving hatch to open. What I didn't expect was the hole just below the serving
hatch to open, and a note shoved through.
THE NEXT THING THAT COMES THROUGH THIS HOLE IS
FOR YOU. I'VE HEARD ALL ABOUT YOU AND EXPECT
YOU TO DO EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE BEST AT. IF NOT
YOUR WEEK IN SOLITARY WILL SEEM VERY LONG AND
VERY HARD.
I read through the note a couple of times and bent my head to try and peer through the hole, but it had been closed again.
"Who is out there?" I called banging on the door.
