Ash was shaking with rage and the indignity of it all. He still had a sock on, but otherwise his clothes were in a pile on the floor, under his broken up cookies now, that he’d purchased with hard earned money from a shit job. Mixed in with their bedsheets, too. Nice.

“Oh, you still too warm, Ash?” the guard mocked as he saw Ash tremble.

The ice crept up his spine, into his head, into his blood and bones. Goosebumps broke out over his flesh. He wanted to remain stoic like Nix, but he couldn’t, he raised his arms and crossed them over his body. The shakes were only partly to do with the cold. They were mainly to do with the guard’s behavior. The temptation to break under the pressure they were applying. The affront on his soul.

Nix stood still in the corner of Ash’s vision, and he took strength from that. If hot-headed Nix could stay calm, Ash could.

“Nothing here,” Nix spoke finally when the guards came up for air and looked around the room for something else to trash. Finding nothing, they stood like neanderthals, jaws squared, panting. It made Nix look positively civilized.

“Ramon’s stable, by the way,” the guard sneered. “Thanks for asking.”

“Why would I care?” Nix shrugged.

“I’d care if someone saw me push him off the railings after stabbing him with a toothbrush.”

“A sharpened toothbrush,” Nix corrected him.

A vein in the guard’s temple ticced.

Nix smirked. “Well, no one did see either of us ‘cause that didn’t happen, so… good luck with your lockdown and strip search. Looks like you’ve got a long night ahead of you, of paperwork and headaches,” Nix said.

It gave Ash a chance to breathe.

He was shivering now. His teeth threatening to chatter.

Ash would rather die than show vulnerability in front of the guards. He was a Black Coyote after all. He would belong in a MC, he wanted to make Colt proud… Ash clenched his teeth and kept his chin up. He felt Nix’s gaze flick to him. A split second glance, but it was enough of an acknowledgement, a show of solidarity, of togetherness. It was all Ash needed. He hung on.

“Empty. Clear,” the guard shouted out, unnecessarily loud next to Ash’s face. “Next cell.” Ash didn’t flinch.

“Have a good evening,” Nix mocked.

“Get this fucking mess cleared up, are you fucking animals or what? Oh yeah, I forgot, that’s exactly what you are, mangy fucking mongrels.” The guard spat on the floor.

Ash heard the breath leave Nix’s nose. Like a snort. Like an enraged bull.

And then finally, they left.
