Chapter Ten
Black Bog Federal Prison
It took them less than ten minutes to reach the prison. A right-hand turn off Wolf Pond Road onto Route 73, then a quick left-hand turn onto an unmarked side road that ran along the base of a mountain before meandering through pine woods and stagnant wetlands. With the driver’s side window rolled partway down, Kane could smell the dead water.
Coming around a bend, he spotted the bog for which the prison was named. The body of black water stretched for nearly a quarter-mile and looked to be at least two hundred meters across. All the trees around it were dead, and the whole area looked bleak and blighted.
As they swung into the prison’s entrance, the Bronco’s tires rumbled over a set of old railroad tracks that ran east-west along the northern edge of the marsh. Glancing in both directions, Kane saw that the crossties were rotted, and weeds had choked the gravel bed into submission. Clearly, no train had been through here in a long time.
“Where do those tracks go?” he asked.
Sheriff Dunkirk glanced at him in the rearview mirror. “Why the hell do you care?”
“Just curious.”
“Some jackass city slicker with more money than sense tried to build a scenic railroad between Vesper Lake and Lake Placid,” the sheriff said. “Laid about ten miles of tracks through the woods before calling it quits.”
They drove through the parking lot and pulled right up to the front entrance. Inside the officer’s station, Kane saw a prison guard talking into his radio. No doubt announcing his arrival and putting preparations in place.
Paul opened the door as Sheriff Dunkirk said, “You can behave yourself and come out on your own two feet, or I can have Paul drag you out by the ankles. Your choice.”
“Your choice,” Paul repeated.
Kane knew there was no point in resisting. Not right now, anyway. Better to save his strength for the battles to come. Once he was locked behind the razor wire, his life would become one big battle for survival.
“I’ll walk,” he said.
Paul nodded, pulled out a pocketknife, and leaned inside the prisoner cage to cut the duct tape.
As soon as he did, Kane brought his knee up sharply, smacking it into Paul’s swollen nose. Fresh blood spurted.
Paul howled in pain and scrambled backward out of the Bronco, banging his head against the roof in the process. “You bastard!” he yelled.
Kane slid out of the truck and smiled thinly. “And then some.”
Sheriff Dunkirk came around and took hold of Kane’s handcuffs. “Cheap shot, Kane. I expected better from you.”
“Being around you assholes brings out the worst in me.”
Dunkirk marched him inside. The correctional officer behind the elevated desk nodded as they walked in. “Afternoon, Sheriff. What do you have for us today?”
“Off-the-books deposit.”
“He got a name?”
“Calls himself John Kane.”
“What’d he do?”
“Raped and killed a local girl.”
The guard glared at Kane with disgust. “Should’ve just put a bullet in his head and dumped him in the woods.”
“Figured Nazareno might like to use him in the Pit.
