The third day Lewis woke up with so much back pains and swollen muscles.
The marks of the horse whip were now visible and had started turning to black wounds.Warden Lee secured a cuff around his wrist as he led him to the gen pub toilets. He gave Lewis a brush and detergent to scrub the toilets, before locking him inside the awful smell of human waste.For the next three hours, Lewis worked hard to clean the whole toilet and tiles, leaving it with a sparkling effect.Warden Lee later took him to the surveillance room for the last punishment. He offered Lewis a seat, and even provided him a bottle of water and energy giving drink.Even though Lewis hated them, he had to take the mineral to restore his energy, especially if he wanted to survive in the long run.Lewis wondered why they brought him there.Warden Lee came forward and pressed a remote that turned on the TV at the side. He gave Lewis what looked like an assuring smile before Lewis moved his eyes to the TV.His coffee café displayed on the TV, and below there's another display of policemen in their car, away from the café. They were holding a remote.Lewis's heart sped up as he dropped the water and stood from his seat.“What the fuck are you doing?” anger and confusion creased his face as he threw a glance at warden Lee.“Once I tell them to go ahead, your lovely café will blow up,” he said, the evil smile still plastered on his face.Lewis gritted his teeth and fisted his hand. Fury washed over him.They can't just blow up his hard work.“You can not do that, my café has nothing to do with this!” he yelled.“Well, since it belongs to you and it is one of the few things so dear to you, I guess blowing it up will teach you some lessons,” Warden Lee threatened by shifting his hand to the keyboard.“Alright, alright! I have heard. I won't steal your keys again, and I promise to keep to the rules, please!”This was the limit of it all, if they blow up his café, he is pretty much dead inside. Because he has nothing in this life, no family, no friends and the one thing he has kept so close to himself all these years was taken away from him.“Too late, my men are following high court orders,” Warden Lee flashed his teeth, showing the chewing gum in his mouth.Lewis narrowed his eyebrows, “High court orders?”“CEO Connor has commanded that we make an example out of you for the others to learn.”“Wait, so CEO Connor knows about this?” Lewis asked in disbelief.Warden Lee rolled his eyes, “Of course, we take orders from him or let me put it this way. He passed the baton to me and I switched it up a little bit,” he smirked.Oh fuck!And here he was, planning to report to CEO Connor, forgetting that he is the real commander in chief who decides what to do and what not to do, Lewis thought.“What do you want?! Tell me what you want and I will give it to you,” Tears that might never drop soon welled up in Lewis's eyes.Warden Lee looked him up and down.“I doubt you have anything reasonable to offer but honey, I have come to notice you are one of the few fairest in this prison,” he licked his lips, “maybe if you know how to play horizontal tango, we might consider backing down.”“I thought it was too late?”“Yes, as I press this remote you won't see your beloved café again,” warden Lee said, his finger on the keyboard.“So my café won't explode if I please you?” Lewis asked.“Yes, I will reverse the orders only If. You. Please. Me,” warden Lee stressed the last words, adding the importance to it.Lewis smiled and planted his hands on his waist.“Turn off the cameras and take a seat, warden Lee.”*****Minutes after, Lewis was walking out of the prison with a devilish grin. He was able to get warden Lee not to blow up his café and now that he is back to his cell. He wants to deal with Chun Li in the most cruel way for causing him all this pain in the past three days.“Wow, I thought you would come back with one leg,” Nash said as he came to sit beside Lewis on his mattress.“But you don't look battered like I expected,” Lewis glared at him, “don't get me wrong. The last time someone stole a key, he collapsed so many times that they had to write a permission to transfer him to a better hospital. I heard he commited suicide there.”Lewis swallowed with a heavy heart. Yeah, thanks heavens he survived this one except the darkened wounds on his back.“I know it wasn't you who stole the key,” Abuelo said from his mattress. He laid there on side, staring at Lewis since he returned back from the isolation ward.Lewis offered him a smile.Nash decided to spur the moment, perhaps this news will melt his heart.“Chun Li has your picture in his cell,” he broke down.Lewis turned immediately, the news catching his attention fast.Nash thought he should explain further, “Apparently, I am not supposed to say this. He runs a business where he makes a deal with outsiders, they deliver the message through the newspaper. I have never read it but I know that it is bad.”“What do you mean by they deliver messages through the newspaper?” Lewis' heart was speeding up but he tried not to give it away through his expression.Nash swallowed nervously, his voice reduced out of anxiety.“He might kill you.”“See, I don't hate you but I don't love you either. I have a gut feeling that you would be my savior in this hell, but I will give you advice,” Nash said, his face turning cold.The atmosphere became tight for them, you could hear the escalating breath.“Run!”

Chapter 33
Inside the surveillance room, warden Lee took his seat in front of the monitors while Nash stood motionless beside him.“What did you say you could do for me again?” Warden Lee asked the inmate that approached him out of nowhere.“I could make you happy,” Nash answered.Warden Lee smirked, “What do you know is happy?” he asked.“I-” he was cut off.“First, how can you make me happy?”Nash was sweating on his hands, “I will, I will give you a blow job.”Warden Lee was left speechless, however he couldn't show any emotions as he was wondering what gave this jughead the nerve to approach him at first.“Okay, I see you. For what?”Nash shook his head, “Nothing. I just admire you from afar,” this time he was able to look the warden into his eyes just to add spice to his lies.And really warden Lee couldn't wait to see what this small rat has in store.“Alright, get on your knees and move closer,” warden Lee commanded.Nash breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't really hard to convince the wa

Inside Nash's cell, he mounted his bed and scooched closer to the wall. His hands were shaking since he collected the paper from the pretty officer.Not cold or the weather, he was really anxious about...nothing.He threw a glance at Abuelo, he was reading a book on his bed.Then he inhaled and opened the paper. What? His face squeezed together as he read the note.What the fuck is he asking him to do? Impossible, fuck.Yes, in the past he took on this job only because he wanted to support his sister in Worcester but now that his sister went missing a long time ago, this job makes his skin crawl.Fuck! He squeezed the paper and leaned his head on the wall, this would be hard to do.“Fucking mama,” he muttered to himself.Why would he even tell him to do this?“Uh, did you talk to me?” Abuelo sniffled his mucus filled nostrils.His voice was heavily clouded with catarrh.Nash gritted his teeth as he looked at the old man.“No bitch! Why would I want to talk to a limpy man? Tsk.”Abue

CEO Connor then turned to Lewis.“I need solid evidence that this man was with you that night.”Somehow, Lewis saw this coming, but he was not afraid because no matter what, they can't lie or hide forever. “How about we bring Chun Li? He was the master planner of this scheme,” Lewis threw CEO Connor a glance.“No, we are not bringing forth another inmate. Ten officers suspended their work for you,” he exhaled, “I told you what will happen if you don't succeed in this.”The officers had to sigh, they now looked pissed off that their boss had to listen to Lewis. CEO Connor turned to them and said, “Thanks for your time, you can go back to your duties.”They soon dispersed, leaving only Lewis, officer Viviette and the CEO in the mess hall.Officer Viviette jumped down from the table and cleared her throat. Really, she had been seated there because she thought she would recognise the officer but it didn't work out and now they had to find another way to clean this mess. Clearly looking,
Chapter 30
Officer Viviette didn't waste a second to head to CEO Connor's office, she was over the moon but she tried hard to hide it, though the little blush on her face gave her out.Bringing her to ask herself, was she happy because Lewis wasn't her attacker or that fair justice will be served?“When did he say this?” CEO Connor asked.“Not too long ago.”“Officer Viviette, you went against my order. Didn't you get my message?” CEO Connor asked, his face was void of any emotions.“But we were about to execute the wrong man, aren't you happy that we didn't make this big mistake?” “Happy?” he sighed, “All of them are equal.”But officer Viviette disagreed with that, she inwardly shook her head. Even though those prisoners have been termed as harmful people, she couldn't say that for Lewis. She always has a strange feeling when it comes to him and after this she should privately look into this matter.“We will reinvestigate the case again, and if it turns out that the original trial was wrong,
Chapter 29
~DR ward, Chicago prison~An officer in charge of DR inmates dragged Lewis in his oversized white pants. Yesterday, after he was sent to the DR [death row] ward, they provided a new uniform for him, specially made for DR inmates. It was a white bogo vest with ‘DR’ engraved on the back, and oversized pants with a rubber white sandal.The belief is that dressing in an all white uniform will get them to recognize their sins and repent before execution.Now, there was no smile on Lewis's face as the officer took him to the viewing room.It was a large overhead pond with lots of colorful fishes in it. Lewis stood there for a minute and got bored real quick, not that the view interested him but then his eyes fell on one of the windows lining up at the opposite second floor.Someone was peeking out of it and he could see the person.Officer Viviette.She raised her index finger to shush him, silently telling him not to talk.He gulped before throwing a look at the guard who stood on the exi

When she got to the office, she unlocked the door and stepped in. The heater was on, and immediately she felt the warmth, she had to lean her back on the door for a minute before exhaling heavily.Then she started rummaging her drawer for the key to the drug center. It was next door beside her. She found the key and stood in front of the door.Staff were not ordinarily allowed in there, the door is only opened every Saturdays to refill drugs or on days inmates were released and they would need them to sign a paper or on rare days death row inmates are to be executed like Lewis.She sighed before unlocking the door. The coolness of the placid room chilled her, and the white ambience added to the fresh smell of mint. They sprayed nontoxic substances to mask the smell of drugs.Immediately she went to the file holder and searched through. It didn't take time to find Lewis's file. She exhaled again, perhaps she should carry this to her office and read. They are yet to install a CCTV in h
