I stood up out of my bunk and walked forward as my bars popped open and then out onto the catwalk with the man and his partner. I was big and I saw the uncertainty in both of their eyes as I stood between them and started walking down to the rec yard. Three years locked inside with nothing to do but work out and prepare my body for the fight I was here to have, left me fucking primed.
The block was big and only parts of the cells were let out at a time to control the crowd, leaving most of the inmates behind their bars watching. More doors popped as we walked down and men who rarely ever rec’d together walked out onto the steel balcony behind me.
My men.
Men bought and paid for with club money and debts they owed.
Men that were going to make sure I got what I fucking wanted.
The last cell at the end of the line popped and the only other man in the entire place that I trusted stepped out as I approached.
“Houston.” I nodded to him as he took his place next to me.
“Great day to get some sunshine, wouldn’t you say?”
“Fucking perfect day.” I grinned and cracked my neck.
When we got downstairs, we went down the dark hallway to the heavy steel door leading to the rec yard and I looked out of the small window and saw my prize on the other side.
JJ.
He stood with a group of his weak ass cronies that he’d paired up with behind bars, shooting a half-deflated basketball into a hoop. He laughed and smirked as he played, like he didn’t have a care in the fucking world.
“Open the fucking door.” I ordered the guard.
He stared at me as he spoke into his radio. “Marv, open rec door four and then go to lunch.”
His radio squawked to life as his guard replied, “Roger that boss.”
The heavy door groaned as it popped open and slid on its tracks letting in the hot California air. “Ten minutes tops St. Claire.” The guard reminded me.
“Go time.” Houston whistled and we walked out onto the court.
The men playing ball stopped when the door buzzed signaling it’s opening and watched as the six of us walked out. I stared at JJ’s face as his eyes jumped from man to man in confusion before they landed on me.
Fear.
My favorite.
He swallowed and took a couple steps back, putting his boys between me and him as mine circled around the group.
“Hey, Fox.” JJ said, with feigned friendliness. “I didn’t know you were locked down here.”
The steel door groaned shut behind me and I watched his eyes snap to it.
“Long time no see, JJ.” I said and started unbuttoning my uniform shirt. “Three years give or take.”
“Yeah,” He licked his lips and took another step back. “What you here for?”
“Murder.” I answered instantly. “Serving a life sentence.”
His eyebrows rose in surprise. His cronies moved to the wall behind them, catching on that I was here for him and choose self-preservation by getting the fuck out of my way.
“That’s rough man.” JJ shrugged, looking around at my men as his slinked away.
“Yeah, but it’s alright, I’ll be out of here soon.” I took my shirt off and handed it to Houston, “See I didn’t kill the man I’m here for.” I brought my hands together in front of me and cracked my knuckles. “You remember Blaine Beckett, right?”
His face paled and he took another step back. “Listen man,” He put his hand up, but I didn’t give him the chance to say anything else.
