Chapter Eight

Skylar Point of Veiw:

"By your cells ladies." Guard Finn says taking call. "Woodland gather your things, you will be moving to Unit H." he finishes. "Any reason she's being moved?" I asks confused. "Go to breakfast Ray." was all he said. "Do you know anyone from there?" she's worried. She's still angered at earlier events, but she looks frightened. "No, but I'll see you at breakfast okay? You're gonna be alright." I say helping her put all her stuff in her basket. "Why are they moving me?" she sighs frustrated. "I'll find out." I say. "Let's go ladies." the guard says. We walked to the cafeteria, today was eggs and vegan bacon with toast. "Today I will stop by after your breakfast to announce your new work units." Santago announced. "Hey, Mrs. Santago, I was wondering why Faye was moved out of unit I." I say catching her before she left. "We're going to be moving quite a few people around, it just to break up any idea that crews, or gangs are going to be in place here." she nods then leaves. "Ladies to the cafeteria." Guard Robin instructs. We entered the cafeteria, a entire new staff was placed. "Breakfast smells like ass." Fionna whispers. Green vegan toast, with a sausage, and a cup of fruit. "New suppliers now." Giselle says serving everyone. "Who is in charge of the kitchen now?"I ask her. "Sam runs the kitchen, girls from all the units now." I thank her then take a seat. Faye still hadn't arrived, nor anyone else in H block. "Ladies Rec time was scheduled for after work. showers from now on will be free from 8 to 10 am and from 6-7 PM. Two guard will be stationed there, as well as in all work units. I have assigned a guard responsible for every unit until shifts change. Garden Work programs will no longer be flower beds, they will be replaced with Vegetables. Laundry has stayed the same, the kitchen has already been set up. Janitorial services now is expanding to the outside of the prison, every Wednesday after dinner. The library is going to be the same except for addition entertaining stories instead of all the boring programs. Speaking of programs these are the ones we now have to offer you, Educational programs. Educational programs include offering schooling, learning where to start when looking for a career outside of here, and also looks good to a judge. We have a drug rehabilitation program including counseling, a safe place to speak up, offering other ways out, meeting within a circle of your peers. We have the same thing for alcohol abuse. For our people on Parole, we will be helping you as well, setting up meeting to see lawyers, and offering our support. Our chapel will also be recruiting members. We are opening the track and getting new work out equipment. This is the only reminder you will receive, these are privileges. Privileges will be taken away if you ladies get out of control. Is that understood?" Santago announces holding a clip board. Everyone mumbles a quiet yes. "H block is setting up the equipment currently so make sure they get to eat when they come inside."Guard Robin instructs to Sam.

Fayes Point of View:

Ivy, Abby, Kelly, Flo, Dominique, Criss, Sam, Vic, Lillian, Chey, Pamela were in unit H. "Oh welcome Faye." Ivy laughs opening up her arms. "Faye you have been moved to Garden work with Ivy." Guard Doug says handing me my time card. "Unit rules, what happens here is private. Everyone in here, works for me." she states pointing at everyone, "You don't want to that's fine, but no extra privileges from these girls besides protection. We don't pull the emergency lever, we deal with it here. Stay outta my cell unless I call for you. One of these ladies ask for something, it's me asking so do it. No drugs in the unit, Pam is getting off. Don't ever miss call, the whole unit is penalized." she tells me rubbing her hands together. "Dominique and Pam never leave her side, the rest of us will take turns throughout the day."Criss says. "Take turns for what?" I ask confused with how they handled it. "Olivia, and Kelly get back from the hospital today. Liv is dangerous. Not that you cared when you got involved." Dominique scoffs rolling her eyes. "Kelly didn't deserve that, you know that Dominique." Criss raised her voice. "She stole, she knew what would happen. It's not exactly the first time." She stands up. "Whatever just handle it." Ivy shouts. "We're going to pull the old gym stuff out today, H unit is setting it up. Let's go everyone." Guard Doug says. He is a fat man who reeks of alcohol most of the time. The gym supplies consists of a crate of a shelf of dumbbells, Barbell, bench press, yoga mats, a punching bag, one glove, leg press, and a jump rope. It was December, the cold air felt good. I decided to skip breakfast and run. Back in 11th grade I broke our schools track record by seven seconds. My mind wonders when I run, thoughts everywhere about the call with my mom, Skylar, this place, my lawyer. "Work begins in 10 minutes." Santago says to us, everyone goes inside except for Ivy and I. We had to wait for the rest of the garden crew. "Nothing grows in the cold so all we do is pick up trash, then clean the vegetable beds." Ivy says handing me gloves and a trash bag. "So have you even thought about it?" She asked leaning on a shovel. "About what?" I question leaning down to pick up the trash. "Word is that Sky met with her lawyer pretty good chance of leaving this place on parole. What does your lawyer say? I bet it might be harder since you handled the money. Sky can be a threat, a dangerous one which is why our deal stands. Once she leaves poof our deal ends. Might want to start looking out for yourself instead of obeying Skylar like a puppet. Ask around, I take care of my girls contrary to most beliefs." she says chewing on a piece of gum then clicks her tongue at the other girls who just arrived. Aurora was on the gardening team, she tells me Sky got moved to Janitorial. "She needs to see you, says to meet her in the library during rec time." she says turing over the dirt in the beds. There wasn't a lot of trash so we just walked around as if we were looking. What Ivy said rung through my head, Sky wouldn't leave me in the place. Would she?
