Seven years later
A way from his brothers, Stone, Jude and Mickey, Newt could finally
admit out loud that he was scared. The most scared he’d ever been.
He whispered his fears under his breath. They threatened to choke
him as his shoulders knocked against the cubicle with each bump in the
road or turn when they took a corner.
Mickey had told him about the sweatbox, the vehicle used to transfer
convicted prisoners from below the court to whatever prison they’d been
assigned, and he’d also told Newt it was doubtful he’d be alone on the trip.
Other prisoners would be shipped out on the same day, crammed into tiny
cubicles, each with a blacked-out window too scratched to see out of and a
painful seat with inadequate safety features in the event they crashed.
Newt wanted to crash.
He wanted to crawl free of the wreckage and return to his job at Stud
Muffins bakery like nothing had happened.
But something had happened.
Jefferey Sharpe had died.
A fist smashed into the joining wall between him and another prisoner.
Newt’s heart tripped out of rhythm before settling at a much faster pace.
The guy behind him was yelling and swearing in a gruff voice, complaining
at first about reasonable things, the cramped conditions, the drive, the
bumps and turns, but then he started doing the awkward British thing and
cursing the weather, which merged into climate change and something
about polar bears.
Newt could tell he was a big man by the slam of his body when they
took a roundabout.
“Oi,” the man snarled, then he tapped Newt’s wall. “What you in for?”
Newt didn’t answer. He tried his best to lean forward, but the sweatbox
had other ideas, throwing him back into his seat.
“It’s a mistake to ignore me. You don’t want me as an enemy.”
Mickey had told him not to lie about his conviction. It would come out
eventually, but the words stuck in Newt’s throat. His tongue and lips
refused to aid his efforts, and he ended up making a choked noise instead.
“You mocking me?”
Newt shook his head despite the guy not being able to see.
“You don’t tell me what you’re in for, and I might come up with my
own theory…”
There was a harsh sigh, not from the heavy guy with the gruff voice
behind but from the partition directly in front of Newt.
The other prisoner.
Newt had heard as they led him into the van. He’d heard the prisoner’s
door shut, but nothing from the actual man inside until he spoke in a smooth
and calm voice, “Maybe he’s in for fucking your mother.”
Newt’s eyes went wide. He dropped his head into his hands, staring at
his feet in disbelief. He was going to die. Before he’d even stepped inside
the prison, he was going to get stabbed.
