Chapter Eight
I guess this is as good a place as any to tell you that, in the Fall of 2039, when Bobby turned nineteen, April left her little gig on the seventh floor and came back to work in the kitchen. It was like a dream come true for our little club to see Bobby and April get their thang back together. In fact, those two kids came together seamlessly, almost like they’d just picked up where they’d left off a few years earlier. It looked to me like they hadn’t missed a heartbeat in all that time. But that November was also about the time Headmistress Zoe Miller vanished from Long Wait Prison. Elton said she took the elevator down to the basement with Boney Burlison and his guys and, as far as he could tell, she never came back up.
And neither did Karson ‘Nice Guy’ Burlison.
A week later, Long Wait got a warden. Not a headmistress, but a warden. A hard one. A black bodybuilder of a woman by the name of Qwanisha Neal who wore the thin nap on her head like scrubbed steel wool. She’d never let you forget the fact that it was the President of the United States who had commissioned her to Long Wait. And the bulging mass just above her eyes and the razor nicks on her face never let you forget she was doing steroids. Her job? To find out why ECPAP wasn’t finished, to tighten the screws on everyone in Long Wait, and to oversee another government project the likes of which had some guys here jumping for joy.
I know. You’re thinking all of this sounds too crazy to be real. And I will admit that, though I can remember things perfectly, it has been proven that people remember every single detail of things that never took place. I sometimes wake up at night pinching myself, asking if it’s possible that I can be dreaming and pinching myself. But the broken skin on my leg and the taste of the blood on my fingers tells me my nightmare here is very raw and very real.
Warden Neal was after Bobby the moment she arrived. She hadn’t even unpacked before she had him standing at attention in her office with him stripped down to nothing except his socks and his boxer shorts. Okay. I get it. The socks and boxer shorts thing. It’s about power. About who’s in charge. But, with Warden Neal being the one plugged in here at Long Wait, it was also about who had the zap. Bobby told me she turned on some music, danced around him like he was a brass pole – whatever that meant – and stripteased herself down to her metallic gold bra and matching panties.
Bobby wasn’t zapped, apparently.
And Warden Neal beat him until he was nearly unconscious.
Maybe it surprised me. Having been in the joint for as long as I have – coming at a time when there was still an innocence about me – I just assumed the best in people, Boney Burlison notwithstanding.
