The alarm blared.
“Lockdown! All prisoners to their cells!”
People ran now. Nix grabbed Ash. Ash grabbed Nix.
“We gotta go-” Nix’s ragged breath caught in his throat.
“I know, I know!” Ash panted back.
Nix scooped people out the way.
“Ash, you fucker!” Nix raged. Ash dragged along behind. “You should have just said no!”
“I can’t-” Ash wailed from behind him.
“Now they think I’m in the Black Coyotes!”
“You didn’t have to get involved!” Ash shouted back.
Their cell was in sight.
But Ramon was suddenly behind them, grabbing the back neckline on Ash’s T-shirt. Nix pivoted and punched his face. Ramon flew back, knocking into the railing and-
Fell over the side of the stairwell. Landing with a crunch on the floor below.
Ash and Nix stopped in their tracks. And stared down.
“Casualty!” one of the guards shouted.
A groan, and Ramon pulled himself up, a bloody, broken nose and some sort of broken arm. It hung floppily at his side as he stood, blinking, dazed.
Someone then pounced on him, sending him to the ground again. Everyone was fighting everyone else. It was a free-for-all.
“Keep moving!” Nix hissed to Ash, who was staring down at Ramon.
“He’s alive-”
“We won’t be for much longer if you don’t fucking move!” Nix pushed Ash along.
They tumbled into their cell and Nix slammed the door behind them.
“Fuck!” he shouted, punching the wall, adrenaline pulsing through him.
Ash hollered like they had just scored a home run. “Did you see the look on the other guys’ faces?”
Nix turned to Ash, instinct taking over, rage taking over. “That was a shit show, Ash! That was nothing to fucking celebrate you dumb fuck-”
Ash raised his eyebrows but immediately got into Nix’s face.
“Dumb what? Say that again to my face, you bastard!”
Nix grabbed a fist full of Ash’s shirt and put his forearm over Ash’s chest. “I will! You’re a fucker, Ash, and no mistake, you could have got yourself and me killed! Dumb MC fucker! You’ve put us on the list for sure now-”
Ash’s face changed now. Nix’s words were hitting close to the mark. “Dumb what, Nix?”
“MC fucker. Dumb fucking MC fucker!” Nix shook Ash, pinning him against the wall. Anger bleeding out of every pore. Crowding him, trying to overwhelm him, subdue him. “Things could have got nasty there, just keep your fucking head down and don’t cause trouble!”
“I’m not denying my MC-”
