“Orange is the New Black” did not prepare me for this.

Ara kept her eyes low to the ground, terrified that she would catch the attention of any given inmate at precisely the wrong time. Netflix may not have taught her about the realities of prison, but common sense dictated that she shut up and not make any trouble.

No matter what, Ara reasoned, I’m sure it will find its way to me one way or another.

Upon being taken back into custody, she had not been brought back to the jail at the precinct. Instead, she had been brought directly to St. Albans in Port Elizabeth.

She was sure that Titus had followed them all the way back, but Ara knew that even with his standing and good name, he was not above the law. Especially not when Captain Jansen was so determined to keep her locked up.

The pinched face cop was the first familiar face Ara saw when she had been processed in the prison.

“Did you enjoy your little taste of freedom?” Camille Jansen asked, a slightly mocking expression on her lips. “Too bad your rich boyfriend can’t buy you out of this little pickle you’re in after all, huh?”

Ara wasn’t sure which was more offensive to her: the fact that Jansen believed she was trying to buy her freedom, or that she had referred to Titus as her boyfriend.

He’s so much more than that, Ara thought defensively, but she said nothing, staring at a scratch on the metal table before her.

“Don’t say a word!” Titus told her as she was led away in handcuffs. “Anders will be here to sort this all out. You’ll be back here in no time. Just stay strong.”

Ara was not so sure. She found it hard to believe that they would have taken her in without just cause, knowing how important Titus was. They wouldn’t risk angering him by being impulsive.

If they didn’t have anything solid, she thought, they would not have let me remain free for a week. At the same time, she wondered why the captain hadn’t hauled her back in after her unauthorized trip to the Williams Tech headquarters. Why would she bide her time when she obviously wanted me under lock and key?

Another terrifying thought occurred to Ara: what if they were monitoring her internet activity and saw she was talking to Jasper? Had she inadvertently lead them to him?

She wondered if that would be such a bad thing. After all, Skylar might be with him, and they could both be conspiring to take down Titus’ company in some way.

All this uncertainty was overwhelming.

Skylar planned it this way, Ara thought bitterly. He wanted us all to turn against one another by keeping us in the dark. The left hand had no idea what the right hand was doing. How can I know that Jasper or the others didn’t know what Skylar had planned all along? Maybe you were just meant to be the scapegoat all along while they are off planning another heist somewhere.
