Alcatraz

Chapter: 2

By: The Optimistic God of Death

"Tier 1, clear! Tiers 2 and 3 clear! B block clear!" I listened as the chorus of guard voices rang out with the daily routine. All was like every other day would be in this new prison, until my ears were met with a new stream of words. "Cell 23, C block!" I heard the gruff voice of a guard yell out.

I wasn't sure what was going on, but I watched as many of the guards rushed to that cell on the 2nd tier and the others all went hurriedly in different directions. Turns out a prisoner attempted escape. Prisoner number AC0150, Matt. A search was conduced over a period of about 3 hours, in which we were all kept in our cells bored out of our minds.

3 hours later we were let out of our cells. This confused me because the prisoner hadn't been found. What confused me even more was how he could have possibly escaped the first night. Confused and hungry I followed all the prisoners, minus Matt into the cafeteria. I rubbed sleep from my eyes as I continued to walk through the line. I groaned as a puddle of food was slapped on my plate. I'm not even sure what it was, but I ate it and was happy. The effects of prison life were once again starting to show on me. My hair was a mess. I thought of cutting a little off to make it easier to keep up, but my mind quickly dismissed that idea. I sat half-asleep listening to the conversations around me. Heero beside me was silent as well, and Wufei also seemed to be just listening.

"Yeah, I don't know how he could have escaped!" I heard Christi's voice ring boy she sure was wide-awake for this hour. Guess that's girls for ya, damn they always seem hyper.

Wait, I take that back. I looked over and seen a half dead looking Kari respond, "Yeah, I know. It's…."

"Absolutely and completely stupid! There is no possible way! I just won't accept this is true! No one can plan and put an escape into action in that short a amount of time. The old prisoners weren't that stupid, and they couldn't get out, so I'm sure we can't either. It's just a little fishy if you ask me," a girl sitting across from Aika and next to Adam who had long hair and glasses said. Wait! I recognize her! She's that girl from my dream! My God! When will it stop? I have no idea who this person is yet she was in my dream. Damn! I can't take this anymore, I thought as I watched the conversation unfold.

"I agree," Adam spoke up. Wow, Mr. Silent decided to talk finally. I figured what the Hell? I'll give it a shot too.

I nodded, "There's something going on here. It just is stupid to think that a person…."

"Like Matt could escape the first night!" Jackie finished my sentence for me.

"You know Matt?" A little blond boy between Jackie and Christi asked.

Jackie nodded, "Hai! His cell was across from mine, so he sat near us the other day, I talked to him a few minutes, while you were watching that braided boy over there talk."

"Oh," the boy blushed as he bowed his head. I thought this was odd, but didn't think much of it at the time.

"Oi! Oi! Oi!" I yelled suddenly. I felt a little funny as everyone's eyes turned to me. "Okay, I'm just a little confused here. Alright, so, Jackie," I said as I pointed at the girl with long blond hair, "You met Matt yesterday, right?" Jackie nodded. "Okay, and Just for reference, what is your name?" I direct the question at the blond boy but he's not who responded.

"Long-chan. Well, that's what you can call me anyway," The girl with the glasses and long reddish brownish hair said.

"Oh, Well, nice to meet you," I said. "Okay…let me see if I got this all straight," I turned toward Heero and nodded his way, "You're Heero, right?" Heero nodded. I looked at Wufei "Wufei?" I was met with a nod. "Adam?" again a nod. I looked at the girl with the reddish brownish hair and asked "Long-chan?" She nodded. I went to turn my eyes toward my side of the table again but the guy with the bangs, Trowa who kept showing up in my dreams decided to speak as well.

"Trowa," He said. The blond boy looked at him oddly. "Trowa, Barton," he said.

I nodded his way, "Nice of you to join us, Trowa." I heard a giggle from Kari. Damn. This guy had looks. Hm. Never mind, just forget what I just said.

I turned my head toward the end of the table on my side, and nodded to each person down the line. "Jackie, Quatre, Christi, Aika, Kari?" I seen 5 heads bob in unison, signifying I had gotten the names right. "And I'm Duo."

"We all knew that already. You're the only one with a 3 foot long braid, you do kinda stand out," Kari said as she blushed. She was more awake now.

"Well, I'll take that as a compliment!" I said trying to be cheerful. I was suddenly wide-awake too. Hm, musta been something in the food, whatever it was.

I watched as Adam let out a slight groan. Man, what's eating him? Not being very friendly to me. Oh well that would all change.

"Okay, now that we've gone through our nice little preschool style introduction, back to what we were talking about before Mr. Braid decided to join in. I think something is wrong with this justice system, don't you? I mean, I know I'm innocent. Not only that, can you believe they put me in here with HIM?"She gestured toward Wufei.

I rolled my eyes knowing what would happen next. Wufei fairly jumped out of his seat yelling "KISAMA!!! Infidel!!!!" Wufei lunged onto Long-chan violently yelling vulgar remarks.

Adam who was sitting between the two quickly separated them and tried to get them back in their seats, but he was too late. We already had the guard's full attention. Damn, another bad mark for me on the guard's list. I knew the whole table was in for Hell.

"I was just kidding," Long-chan mumbled as she sat down. Wufei shot Long continual evil glares as the guards rushed forward and yelled every kind of remark imaginable.

"You son-of-a-bitch's!! What are you doing?!! You were all told on the first day that the cafeteria was to remain at a low whisper at all times!! You are to remain in your seats and keep to yourself!! And I see you going against this?!" the guard yelled in Wufei's ear as he lifted him up by the collar.

I cringed as I watched what followed was just a stream of yelling on the guard's part and a table of people sulking. I felt like a little kid in a school being scolded by the worst teacher in the world. Oh, wait, we were all still just kids, supposed to be in school. Never mind.

The guard left after Wufei had received quite a ear full, along with the rest of us. "Why the hell did you do that?!!" I half yelled, trying to keep my voice down, yet get across my point.

Wufei just gave an evil glare in Long's direction. It was Long that tried to explain, "We both came form the same prison. We're um, not the best of friends. We're friendly rivals you could call it."

"Why?" I asked

"Well, it's hard to explain. He was part of the Long clan, and Long is my nick name, so he hated me from the start. Doesn't help that I'm smarter than him either," she said looking at Wufei with evil eyes.

Oh god, we sure would all have fun with these two. I raised my head as our table was dismissed. We were to head back to our cells and then we would one by one be given our jobs. I stood up followed closely by Kari.

I walked slowly following Heero when I felt someone run into me, I looked around, Kari had run into me again. I laughed on the inside. She pretended to look embarrassed, I could see she did it on purpose though. I couldn't tell if she wanted me to notice her or if she was just trying to be annoying. I found out later it was the first. She really didn't have to worry, I noticed her, that's for sure. I later found out, that's why Adam wasn't all that friendly toward me, but that all comes a tad later. We all walked back to our cells and they were all closed and we got to sit and wait. Unless you were me, and you wouldn't be assigned work for a while, and you fell asleep, only to be met with yet another horrific dream.
