The 13th year (pt.10)

By maggot death

The warden looks around, to make sure Kody doesn't see.
"OK guys, come in."

Nived, Gabbie, and the warden's assistant, Mai, sat down in chairs lined up on the inside of the warm office.
"Is the plan ready?" asked the warden to Gabbie.

"Ready to go. Sorry it took so long for the food poison to settle in. I can only do so much."

"how about you, Nived? Decieved him?"
"........Yea. He's ready."

The warden spoke up,

"Now listen. This is the only time I am letting you juveniles do something like this. After this, back to the cells for the rest of your sentence. Even if you try to escape now, go ahead and try. Just because this is a small place doesn't mean it's not well guarded."

She chimed in again, "Nived, are you sure you are the one that did it? You are too....well, normal."

He winced, as if in pain. Then he answered
"........Shut up about that...."

The warden piped, "We will use the plan only when necessecary. We will definately use this plan, but if immediate action required, so be it..."

"Alright!", the warden said, trying to cheer up the mood.
"Get a good night's rest."

They all left to sleep in their cells. The door closing behind them was the only sound that was heard through the night.

    A bit confusing, if cdoy thought something was not being said, the writer should have mentioned that. The phone again, if it is the only link to other people it should have been mentioned earlier. So far so good. write on.
