Chapter 5: Abby’s checkup

Abby wasn’t sure why she was doing this, but it’s not like her to let a friend abandoned. Yet her current relationship with Heinie disturbed her. They had a … thing… going on between them that ended rather harshly.

“Vhat are you doing here Abigail?” He said, annoyed, not even facing her though the bars. The pictures on his wall called her attention.

“Hello Heinrich” She said chipper, might as well have fun while she was at it. “Old sticky-bum says you had problems with John again and Abby though she’d check on ya” He got up, still not facing her, and walked to the sink in his cell. She didn’t look at his back, she looked at the mirror in front of him and her mouth went dry. He was missing a glove and he had bandaged said arm; as if it were broken. She turned to the officer standing by her and made a face.

“Open the cell” She told him, he gave her a weird look and slid open the bars with a code to a device on his wrist.

“Thirty minutes” He said before shooting her another suspicious look. He’d had seen them fight way too much and already knew he’d have to intervene again soon. However he locked the bars behind her and left to get the glass of water she always asked for when she wanted to be left alone to talk. ‘More like fight’ the guard thought with a smirk as he left.

Heinie was simply petrified at her reflection’s actions. “Heinie, turn around.” She said, having the role of older sister in her sector and being referred to for help did this. “Did he do that?” She asked too tenderly and, of course, he reacted violently and ungrateful at the gesture. ‘What else did numbuh five expect?’ She wondered sourly.

“Vhy do you pretend you care, Abigail? Ve both know you’d let me rot, the vay you did in Guatemala.” He turned to her, lip swollen. “Besides he didn’t beat me up, ve fought” He pulled a piece of black licorice from his pocket. “It’s very different.” He told her, pride harmed by her concern. A pause, the subject they had to talk about but she liked to avoid due to their constant fighting poking at her now more then ever. However, Heinie, being Heinie, made the first move. “Vhy did you leave, Abigail?”

“Numbuh five’s told ya a buh-million times already, Heinie.” She said, ‘Time to go, we’re going to argue again’ she thought.

“Vhy do you insist on lying to me, Abigail-” He had begun to chastise her ‘Lack of honesty’ again and she hated when he did that.

“No- no I DO have to lie to you, because you won’t listen to Abby, boy! You won’t take the truth and-” The guard seemed to put the glass of water on the floor and leave, sick of hearing them bicker. “As I was saying, numbuh five is tired of this, Heinie, physically exhausted of all this.”

“YOU are not in prison, Abigail!” He told her sternly and absolutely aggravated that she would say that.

“Don’t try to guilt trip numbuh five, you tried to kill her. You came here willingly”

“- YOU put me in here you TWIT-” SMACK! He received a full punch straight in the face.

“Don’t mess with numbuh five, Heinie, that’s the wrong person to mess with!” His breathing got heavy and he looked at her full in the eyes before striking back, in an unexpected way.

A/N: muhahahaha! I pwn your cliffy… All your cliffhanger are belong to me.
