Fucking bastards. Blade thought to himself, rolling his eyes as he was led by the grip on his forearm, pushed forward from the back into the grey, lifeless hallway to the accompaniment of wolf whistles and cat calls from the prisoners locked behind the bars. Who could blame them, really? Even though he was seventeen, he could pass as a fourteen year old, and in the oversized prison jumpsuit he looked smaller and more frail. His feathery blond hair and rust-colored eyes didn’t help, neither did the fact that he taunted the other prisoners with snide smirks, his tongue sticking and waggling out of his lips, and the occasional, “Catch ya on the fuckin’ dance floor, sweetheart!”
“Would you please try and keep a low profile. We were hired to keep your cellmate safe not draw more negative attention,” The guard ushering him to his new home for the next couple weeks if not longer whispered into his ear. Of course, the guard wasn’t really a guard, no, he was Blade’s partner and was there to make sure Blade’s already loose canon didn’t pop.
“Fuck off, man. This’ll get their attention off him and on me.” His tone taunted, and to anyone watching it seemed like he as arguing with the guard, and that was true. Sheath had only been his partner for a year, and he didn’t really get the guy, he sure as hell didn’t trust him, but he was good operative who’d have his back, “I fucking know what the hell I’m doing. You do your job, I’ll do mine.”
“Get in there, you scum.” His partner’s voice rang in his ears, echoing the clink and rattle of a cell door opening as the cuffs around his wrists were removed and he was thrown into the cell. Blade’s feet nearly caught on the concrete floor, and he muttered a curse under his breath.
Turning around quickly, he faced a narrowed gaze onto Sheath as the door cut, his eyes saying a brief farewell while his upturned middle fingers bid a very different sort of goodbye. Finally, once alone with the real target of his con, he turned to the other male in the cell, nodding over to the beds and crossing his arms over his chest, “Which bunk ya got, Ginger?”
