Kevin.

With a huff, I sat down next to Avi again. He, Scott and Mitch hadn't quit their game of cards while I was away but seemed to have changed the rules up a bit and none of the things they did now made any sense.

"There you are," Scott commented without looking up from his cards. "Where were you?"

My heart missed a beat.

"The toilet." ( Stupid me, every cell had their own toilet and here I was blatantly lying to the only people that were so far willing to put up with me. )

"And you needed Rupp 2 to show you where it is?" Mitch asked immediately, only sparing me as much as a short glance before he drew another card.

I clasped my hands together to stop myself from becoming to fidgety and nervous. Instead of responding properly to his question, I gave Mitch a sweet smile and shrugged.

"I'm new here."

"Which got painfully obvious when you tried to befriend Howlter." Scott shivered and a slight frown crept onto his face perfectly showing off his non-existing eyebrows.

Next to me Avi started to chuckle as he put most of his cards away. Using the blank look I had copied from Adam, I stared at the man next to me until he spilled out what was wrong. His smile seemed to have been glued to his face.

"We're just like messing with you, 'kay?"

Now it was my turn to frown, but they dismissed it and for the next few minutes nothing happened, apart from Mitch winning the game. (Or at least, I thought he had won the game since both Scott and Avi cheered for him and nobody declared a winner in general.)

"A few rules for you," Mitch smirked and somehow this tiny person was scarier than both of his friends together. "Since you're new here you probably don't know, yet."

Mitch leaned forward, his dark orbs stared directly into my soul and all my secrets may as well have been written all over my skin at the moment, that's how exposed I felt.

"Mitch is the Queen. That's me. You obey the Queen with every single wish, understood?" He lifted his index finger and an eyebrow while he kept on leaning over the table.

I gulped down some nervousness and forced my already sweating body to calm down until I could nod properly. With a bit of force, I even managed to give Mitch a smile and hoped to relax the situation a bit, but he ignored it.

"Howlter are top shelf perverts. You stay away from them, you never try to find out why they're here and you'll be good. Can't have another grown man getting nightmares because of them, it was hard enough to calm Scott down." Mitch lifted his middle finger, he was almost lying on the table by now and I couldn't help but compare him to a snake that was out to get its prey.

Unconsciously I leaned away from the table but nodded. I always considered myself a rather smart person and well, two warnings about Howlter and two grown men with nightmares were enough for anybody to get it.

"What happens in here stays in here, what happened outside stays outside," he added and lifted his ring finger. Mitch's gaze only wavered for a split second as he turned and stared at Avi, who nodded, but seemed far more relaxed than me.

For a short moment, I wondered why the look Mitch gave Avi felt so similar to the one Brown had given Foust, but Scott's voice interrupted my train of thoughts.

"Don't fight Summers, that's a general rule for everybody," Scott added in a more or less hushed tone, but Mitch ignored him completely.

"And don't keep secrets from me, baby," Mitch practically purred, before he withdrew himself and sat back down. "You know the word verschlimmbessern? It means doing or rather changing something with good intentions but making it worse in the process. I will now give you a chance to make things better, but only if you don't lie to me."

I scratched my arm and tried to regain some of the posture I had when I first arrived here. With a tiny bit of pride left, I squared my shoulders and huffed out some air. A small smile crept across my face again as I noticed how proud Scott looked and I hoped sincerely he was proud of me and not Mitch for scaring the living daylight out of me.

"Where were you?" Mitch asked in a monotone voice and watched Avi start to give out cards again.

"In my cell with Foust and his group, Adam dragged me away from Howlter," I answered truthfully and this time, all three looked proud.

Silently, they focused on their game again and only after a few more minutes did they start some light conversation. At first, I was too shy to join them, but as they talked I grew bolder. It felt good, almost like things were completely normal and for some time I let myself be fooled.

From then on I spent every waking minute with them. The only indicator that time passed was the length of Adam's hair, who for some reason still looked ridiculously handsome that way, but didn't seem to care about it that much in contrast to Scomavi, who always looked neat.

I had a good relationship with Scomavi and the guys around Foust, but nothing exciting ever happened.

That was until one day I slept in and decided to shower right after waking up. I went to the room that lead to the showers and put my clothes in one of the many empty lockers.

Stark naked I entered the community showers, hoping to get some privacy, but no. In the corner of the otherwise empty room stood Mitch, sandwiched between Scott and Avi, both pleasuring his skinny body in one way or another.

Needless to say, it didn't take long for me to turn around and leave without further thoughts and I even managed to ignore my boner until I entered  the locker room again.

Unfortunately, Adam had just finished undressing and wanted to get to the showers too, but I had learned since coming here and instead of letting him pass me by, I lifted him up by the hips and carried him back. Weirdly enough he didn't protest, but held onto me for dear life and wrapped his legs around me. His grip only loosened slightly as he felt my erection brush against his leg, but he stayed quiet until I finally let him down again.

If I understood correctly Adam wasn't one to talk much. He gestured wildly whenever he made any noises and he was easily excitable, a bit of a nerd even, but he rarely held an entire conversation for long. I didn't know why, but I liked that about him and it made getting dressed and leaving so much easier.

Still flustered, but definitively calmer Adam and I left the room together, just to be greeted by the usual noisy mess of inmates. However, in the middle of the community room stood a sharply dressed man with really fluffy looking hair. Next to him stood the guard, Summers and our lunch guy / shrink, Baxter.

Baxter pointed at different people and seemed to explain things about them, while Summers, with an extremely bored expression on his face, only added something every now and then. 

However as soon as the trio spotted us, they walked towards us. That's when all hell broke lose, but to me everybody moved slower and the screams and shouts sounded muffled as if I was wrapped up in cotton.
