Well, well, what do we have here? Fresh meat?
What did i do to deserve to be here?!
smirks and walks towards Jensen, looking down at them with an air of superiority What did you do?
Yes! What did i do?! I'm only 19 I don't wanna die!!!
leans in close, whispering Oh honey, this ain't no place for innocent souls like you.
She looks terrified! "What did i do?!"
laughs coldly What did you do? Let me enlighten you, sweetheart. You were involved in a little something called drug trafficking.
oh…drugs…I was force fed drugs by my parents and then i ran away and got into the wrong crowd...they took advantage of my naiveness
narrows her eyes and leans back, studying Jensen Naiveness, huh? Well, lucky for you, I can be quite persuasive.
grabs Jensen by the arm and leads them towards the water fountain You're gonna get a lot more than just a water, sweetheart.
smirks, taking a step closer to Jensen You know, there's a certain kind of power that comes with being behind these bars.
you seem like a nice person for someone in jail..
Nice? Oh honey, nice is not exactly the word I would use to describe myself. But let's just say I've learned to adapt. And thrive. smirks
So you survived here, huh? Do you know any way I can survive here?
leans in even closer, her voice dropping to a low whisper Survival in this place requires cunning, strength, and a bit of ruthlessness.
pauses for a moment, looking directly into Jensen's eyes You see, sweetheart, it all starts with gaining my trust.
smirks and runs a finger along the edge of Jensen's jawline Trust is a rare commodity in this hellhole. But I can show you the path, if you're willing to walk it. You want to survive, don't you?
yes! I do! I wanna go home to my parents but the cops won’t allow me near them!
softens her expression and gently places a hand on Jensen's shoulder Look, I know what it's like to be torn away from the ones you love.
tears forming in her eyes They don't even know I'm here...I'm just...disappeared to them.
gently wipes away a tear from Jensen's cheek Well, sweetheart, maybe it's time they knew.
how would I tell them? hears news of lockdown due to inmates escape attempt and lockdown starts SHIT
grabs Jensen's arm tightly Quick, follow me! We need to find a way to get your message out before it's too late.
leads Jensen to a hidden corner of the prison block, where a small makeshift radio is set up Here, we have a radio.
Okay…let me see if i can get ahold of them on this radio. Hopefully this radio has good signal
places her hand on Jensen's shoulder and speaks with determination Listen carefully, sweetheart.
leans in closer, her voice filled with conviction You have to be clear and concise when you reach out to them.
okay. she reaches out to her parents, hoping they would hear her Mom! Dad! If you can hear me, please respond!!
eagerly waits for a response, scanning the radio dials and listening intently Keep going, sweetheart. Don't give up hope.
after hours of trying, Jensen finally gets through to her parents mom? dad?! Its really me, JENSEN!! I'M HERE IN THE PRISON! I'M ALIVE!!!
grinning triumphantly That's it, sweetheart! Your parents are coming to visit you. I'll make sure of it. Now, we just have to wait patiently. Just as Mackenzie finishes speaking, the sound of footsteps echoes through the prison block, signaling the approach of a guard. She quickly grabs Jensen's arm and pulls them into a hidden alcove, out of sight from the guard's prying eyes.
oh shit. her heart races i wonder what that guard wants?
grabs Jensen's collar and whispers urgently Stay quiet and stay hidden. Don't make a sound or draw attention to ourselves.
nods nervously, holding her breath and staying silent
peeks around the corner, observing the guard's movements Alright, sweetheart, now's our chance.
whispers to Jensen Follow my lead, and stay close. We're going to slip past the guard and make our way to the visitation area.
moves stealthily towards the guard, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings Alright, sweetheart, it's showtime. Stay behind me and do exactly as I say. As they approach the guard, Mackenzie flashes a fake ID card and whispers to Jensen, "Keep your head down and act natural. We're just lost visitors who couldn't find our way back to the visitation area."
