The next night at mealtime, Ian sat with Levi, like always, but sent longing glances toward Nikolina. A memory came back to him the night before, and he was dying to share it with her.

“Any other memories coming back to ya?” Levi chewed what looked like a rubbery piece of bread.

Ian shook his head and dropped his fork on the tray. “Some. They don’t all make complete sense though,” he lied. “Once things start coming together and making sense, I’ll fill you in. For now, I just learn as they unravel in my mind.” Ian assumed Levi knew he was innocent, but they’d never spoken about it or confirmed it, and at this point, Ian didn’t think he would.

“Still can’t believe we can speak freely in this room. I think you were right when you said that.” Levi’s eyes darted around. “Ever since you told me that, I’ve said a bunch of stuff in here that should have gotten me in trouble, but nothing ever happens.”

“Didn’t believe me, huh? Maybe you would have believed Jack. Sure miss him.”

“Damn it that we had to lose Jack when he knew so much. What else did he know? Did he tell you anything else?” Levi scrubbed his hand over his face, his dreadlocks in their usual ponytail.

Ian shrugged. “He told me a few different things, but nothing I want to get into now. There’s not enough time.”

“You could always write it down, ya know? I’ll get rid of it soon as I’m done reading it.”

Ian nodded. “That’s true. I’ll think about it. If the words come to me swiftly, I’ll write some things down.” Ian threw Levi a fake smile. Something about him asking to write things down seemed risky and a knot dropped in his stomach. He decided that moment to tread carefully with Levi.

“I’m done here.” Ian wiped his hands on his napkin then plopped it on his tray and picked the whole thing up. “See you later.”

“Yeah, see ya.” Levi continued eating.

Ian strode by Nikolina and David and smiled at her, hoping he could silently communicate to her. He needed to speak with her. And it could only happen here in this room, but he wanted to get away from Levi.

“Hi Ian,” she said, and the keeper stared at her.

“Hi.” Ian dropped his tray where the rest of the trays were and took slow steps toward the doorway, hoping she’d catch up to him. He finally reached the door and turned around. She still sat with David. Ian swore under his breath and headed back to his cell.

Once there, he lay on his hardened, narrow bed, his arm behind his head.

Back door. “It’s not like there’s a back door here,” the keeper had said the night before. And that’s when Ian remembered. There was a back door. Not in the cave, but to that room underneath the common room.

He had to get there, and soon. He needed to get the vials that would get the readings at the disposal site. Going through the doorway in the common room would never work for him.
