Thirty

At about the same time that Letitia was sitting down for coffee with her friend, Alexa was sitting in her cell still trying to recover from the beating she had taken the night before. Her ribs were sore and the bruising was a lovely shade of purple. Her eyes were still swollen, she couldn’t see the bruising around her eyes but she imagined that it would be the same as that on her ribs. Her lips were sore where the cuts were and like her eyes they felt swollen and probably a nice purple as well. She could only imagine what she looked like. She heard a key in her cell door. She jumped to her feet from her bed and moved against the far wall. As at breakfast, if this was another visit for a beating she wanted to make sure whoever they were, they were in front of her. The door opened and a guard stepped in.

“Exercise time,” it was one of the guards from the night before, that worried Alexa.

Was this going to be a repeat of last night.

The guard beckoned her to leave the cell. She walked out to find another guard standing outside, she hadn’t seen her before, hopefully she wasn’t as crooked as the ones she met last night. The guard exited Alexa’s cell.

“Follow me.”

Alexa followed the guard and the other one fell in behind her, standard procedure in a prison, a guard in front and one behind. They walked through the prison going through gates between blocks and eventually through a final gate that led to the exercise yard. Alexa should have been alone in the yard, she was a protected inmate, but she wasn’t. The inmate with the greasy hair and bad breath was in the yard along with some friends. Alexa didn’t imagine they were there to make friends with her.

The gate to the exercise yard shut behind her with the guards on the opposite side. She was alone in the yard with four inmates. The greasy haired, foul breath smelling inmate that she had first met when she collected her prison clothes and three others. Alexa had already decided that this time she would fight back, assuming she wasn’t massively outnumbered and four wasn’t outnumbered in her book. These poor women were in for a shock. The thing was, she had decided to join the police force when her Father died. She had only been young but had researched the best way to get in and make herself stand out. She had studied hard but also trained hard. Alexa had joined a shooting club and become an expert marks person, winning lots of competitions when she was young and she had also trained in one of the most efficient and brutal martial arts. Krav Maga was a military self defense system devised by the Israeli defense force, it is known for its brutal, aggressive nature and its use of combined defensive and offensive manoeuvres. Alexa planned to bring its full force on these four poor women.
