A week has passed and Steve Austin's death remained unsolved. Everyone that was thought to be involved had solid alibis. So the investigation report says.

It was obvious to Chance that Tim was the one and somehow everyone else was included. He was pretty sure that Tim had been planning this from the moment Austin began to beat him in Solitaire and made sure that their asses were covered. But the guard kept his thoughts to himself. One thing was sure, you don't cross Tim Foust and expect to live to tell your children about it.

Tim lay on their cot with his hands behind his head as he stared up at the ceiling. Once again, counting the pipes that ran along the ceiling. 'Fifteen. No more, no less.'

"D*mn, it's so hot. It's like a furnace in here." Adam complains as he walks back and forth in their cell fanning himself with one of Tim's old notebooks.

"Better get used to it, Babe." Tim says, still staring in a hypnotic state at the ceiling. "It's not even Summer yet."

"The least they could have done was to install air conditioning in this place." Adam huffs as he sits down on the side of the bed.

"It's a prison, Sweetheart. We're supposed to suffer." Tim replies.

"Al Capone didn't suffer. Have you seen pictures of his prison cell? The man lived in style." Adam says as he looks toward the cell door.

(Al Capone's actual prison cell at Eastern State Penitentiary)

"Well, according to witnesses, it was said to be haunted." Tim says as he rolls over on his side and reaching for his cigarettes. "They would hear Capone screaming for help and telling something to leave him alone." Lighting one up.

"Really? Wow, that had to be terrifying. Locked it and nowhere to go." Adam says.

"What is that?" Tim asks as they hear the sound of shouting coming from Cell Block A.

"I don't know." Adam answers as they get up from the cot and head outside of their cell.

The other prisoners from the B Block were exiting their cells to see what the commotion was. Everyone leaned over on the railing to watch the fight that was going on in the block below them.

"Savages." Avi chuckles as he watches. "And they think we're the bad ones."

"Anyone have any clue why the guy is beating the sh*t out of the other guy?" Tim asks, taking a puff from his cigarette.

"Nope. The guy just dragged the other guy out of the cell and started pounding him." Another prisoner answers.

"I love how the Block A guards are just standing back watching." Adam says.

"They're either too scared or just don't give a sh*t whether the guys kill one another or not." Tim replies, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Makes for good entertainment." Samuel chuckles. 

"Aww, man." Tim whines as Chance and some more guards arrive to break up the fight that the other guards were ignoring. "BOOOOOO!"

Every one of the B Block prisoners starts to boo and gives the guards a thumbs down.

"YOU GUYS ARE NO FUN!!" Tim yells down.

"SHUT UP, FOUST! YOU GUYS GET BACK TO YOUR CELLS!!" Chance yells up to the upper block.

"PARTY POOPER!!" Adam yells.

"GUYS!! I MEAN IT!!" Chance shouts.

"WOW, I LOVE IT WHEN YOU GET FORCEFUL!" Avi shouts with a laugh.

Chance shakes his head and rolls his eyes as he gets back to work calming the other cell block down, breaking up the fight and getting the prisoners back into the cell.

"Well. That was fun." Tim shrugs as he thumps his cigarette down to the lower block and turns to head back to the cell.

"Why don't we go outside for a little while?" Adam asks, snatching his husband's hand to stop him. "It's got to be cooler outside than it is in here."

"Sure, why not." Tim shrugs and they head toward the stairs.

~~

"Well, good afternoon, Mr. and Mr. Foust." Tommy Lee says as he comes out of the guard shack to unlock the gate. 

"What's that for?" Tim asks as he points to a black band that Tommy was wearing around his bicep.

"Oh, we were just given these to wear in remembrance of Austin." Tommy answers with an eye roll.

"Really? But he was a f*cking asshole." Tim replies.

"Yeah, you know that and I know that but the state thinks differently." Tommy shrugs.

"I would have told the state where they could stick that black band." Tim says as he and Adam walk through the gate.

"Well, I wanted to but I need my job." Tommy laughs. "You guys need to watch the clouds. Looks like it's fixing to rain."

"Little rain never hurt anybody." Adam smiles. "Maybe it will cool us off."

"We don't all have an air-conditioned office." Tim says with a smirk.

"You're only jealous." Tommy chuckles as he starts back to the guard shack.

"Screw you." Tim laughs.

"Dang, it's not much cooler out here." Adam says as he climbs onto one of the picnic tables to sit down. "It's so humid."

"At least the sun is not shining." Tim says looking up at the dark rain clouds.

"I hope it does rain maybe it will cool off some." Adam says as he lays his head over on his husband's shoulder.

Tim closes his eyes and rests his head on top of the blonde's. They were just enjoying the peace and quiet.

"Uh, I think we're fixing to get wet." Tim chuckles lightly as he feels a raindrop hit his cheek.

"That's one way to get cooled off." Adam smiles.

The clouds suddenly open up and the rain begins to pour down.

"Oh! My God." Adam laughs, holding up his hands to catch a few of the raindrops.

"ARE YOU GUYS NUTS!!??" Tommy calls out from the gates.

"Are you kidding? This is awesome." Tim laughs as they both get soaked by the rain shower.

"Those two are crazy." Tommy shakes his head as he heads back into the guard shack.

Tim runs a hand through his wet hair as he glances around at his lover. Adam had tilted his head back, enjoying the cool raindrops as they land on his face. Tim smiles at the beautiful sight.

"I love you so much." Tim says softly.

Adam looks around, wiping the rain from his face with his hand. He smiles into the soft brown eyes as he slides his arms around his lover's neck.

"I love you too." He whispers before connecting their lips into a passionate kiss.

Tim slides his hand to the back of his lover's head, pulling him closer and deepening the kiss. Adam moans slightly as the brunette begins to bite at his bottom lip.

"BOOOOMMMM!! A loud clap of thunder causes the couple to jump apart.

"SON OF A B*TCH!!" Tim laughs as he jumps up from the table.

"HOLY SH*T!!" Adam shouts out as lightning streaks across the darkened skies.

"COME ON!!" Tim yells grabbing the blonde by the hand as they began to run toward the gate. Tim grabs the gate and shakes it. "TOMMY!! OPEN THIS F*CKING GATE!!"

Tommy casually walks out of the guard shack fumbling with his set of a million keys.

"You know. Lightning has been known to strike that gate before." He says calmly, pretending to have trouble finding the correct key.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?" Tim shouts as he jerks his hands back from the gate.

Adam screams and covers his head after another deafening clap of thunder.

"TOMMY!! IF YOU DON'T OPEN THIS D*MN GATE.... SO HELP ME!!!" Tim glares at the laughing guard. 

"Or what, Timmy? I'll end up like Austin?" Tommy says through his laughter as he opens the gate for the two soaked prisoners.

"Or worse." Tim growls as he pulls Adam through the gates to the safety of the prison.
