Continuation of a “Creative Funny Prison Story”
Jenkins was a sleep,or was he? Three are two kinds of sleep when caged up that puts one between two worlds. a living one, and a dead living one. The talk with Alice prior to him dozing, about the deep shit she was in because she prepared, premeditated the whole thing. Shooting him in a bank of her cheating lying lover. He dreamt of how if she had just shot him at home and pled nuts that all this craziness wouldn’t be happening.
Coming out of his sleep, he could her in the high-walled bathroom stall… then, she stepped from behind the wall… Jenkins shot up to a sitting position.
There standing in front of him was Alice of course. but now she was dressed in a gray-cashmere dress, perfect, wearing Cuban heeled loafers. She had this hidden under the suit they brought her in with, the mustache was gone now too. Jenkins just stared, her was this petite beauty, short black hair, and lovely eyes.
…”might as well let them see me for what I am”
It took some time for Jenkins to speak, he spoke quickly as he went to the door to look for any guards. He knew there should be little or no guard activity as it was the middle of the night, but wanted to make sure. “This is getting nuttier and nuttier as the night goes on, First a guy, then a freak, now a dame. I gotta think.” Jenkins started pacing, Alice sat and watched. What she saw was a hard, handsome man pondering her fate… he had to be, he already knew his. Knowing he was worried about her made her heart beat so.
“… ok listen, listen to me real good Alice. That is your real name right?” she shook her head yes. “Ok, jails have three shifts , this is the grave yard sift now. Day shift starts at 8am. Sometimes lawyers come in early since the courthouse is attached to see clients before their appearances. i think we can get you out of here”
“I don’t understand?” she said staring at him
“Look Alice, your in big trouble, you don’t want to spend your life caged, this can work.”
“I’ll hire a good lawyer”
“Alice, you shot someone in a bank killing him. You will go to prison, they will eat someone like you up, understand?” She could see the concern in his eyes… and she kissed him, they embraced.
“Alice, Alice stop, there’s not much time, listen good. The night shift put you in here-the grave shift delivers breakfast. Your gonna act as my lawyer see… When you tell the guard to let you out, talk down to him a little, like he’s not even there”
“But we are in the bullpen”
” So what, lawyers come in here all the time. Hey, Alice, what do you have to lose” and he smiled, a beautiful smile Alice had never seen on a man…
