“Which is exactly why Felix shoulda never done what he did in the first place. Just promise me you’re gonna chill out. All this shit just has to play itself out. There’s nothing we can do now.”

I just nod. “Okay…okay, I’ll wait it out.”

“Hey, can I get some goddamn meds in this place?”

Sweaty and nauseous, Lex grips tight in his hands the bars of cell 261, leaning on them a bit for stability. A restless few hours of sleep has left him dissatisfied, and his stomach is in knots, his vision beginning to blur occasionally from the pain of the beginning stages of his inevitable withdrawal.

“You can go see a medic after breakfast,” the hall guard offers curtly and Lex scowls.

5 a.m. breakfast is rather uneventful. Lex wanders off to a table by himself; no sense in trying to make friends here considering he hopes to not be staying long. He should’ve been out of this fucking place last night, he thinks, as he sits down to a plate of colorless room temperature pancakes, which upon tasting resemble something along the lines of pressed cardboard discs, he assumes, if he had ever tasted cardboard before. The Cheerios are stale and even the 1% milk, which he has always refused to drink and referred to as “white water,” can’t salvage them. He gives up and stares at the plate, shaking hands folded in his lap, his misshapen apple sitting gloomily on the corner of the square tray, and it disappears before his eyes as he feels someone cross behind him.

“HEY!” he shouts, turning abruptly, and it’s not like he was gonna eat the sorry excuse for produce anyhow, but it’s his apple, goddammit. He stands from his seat. “Hey, you sorry motherfucker!” His rage tempered with underlying anxiety of being in this place and lacking the drugs he needs at this point simply to function gets the best of him.

“Sit the fuck down, kid,” he hears an officer call out calmly from a few feet away, seeing exactly what happened and doing nothing. Pick your battles, that should be a motto in jail.

Lex doesn’t listen, taking a few quick steps to follow the guy. But before he can react he feels a forearm chop against his throat and he’s on his back and he hears a few gasps and shouts, but mostly everyone is engrossed in their meal, and frankly, he assumes, no one is terribly shocked when people get hit around here anyway. He looks dumbly up into the face of one of his cellmates, Ramero, who he had learned today, is in MCJ for attempted rape and assault with a deadly weapon, and had just now laid his ass flat out without a second thought.

He sits up slowly, waiting for someone to come to his defense, waiting for a guard to step in, but nothing happens. A few men look at him, wait for him to get up, and he does. He looks around and no one does anything,
