Chapter 6

 

Lola,

 

“Hello, Helloooo. Who the fuck is this? I don’t have time for games, fucker.”

 

I heard my brother’s angry voice, and I choked on a silent sob. It has been over a week since I heard his voice or even saw him.

 

Since coming to this hellhole and I wasn’t allowed to see him, even my lawyer had trouble doing so.

 

CO Diaz told me that it doesn’t matter how hard she pushed, someone kept pushing back and it wasn’t my judge as well.

 

Someone wanted me here, to get rid of me or just bury what happened. The entire ordeal felt like a cover up to something bigger than me, than any of us.

 

I opened my mouth to say something, but my throat was clogged and nothing came out but a pathetic whimper.

 

The other end of the line went silent, then I heard my brother choke on his own breath as well, but he managed to call my name and I started to wail.

 

“Lola?! Baby, are you OK? How are you doing? Are you safe? Are you protected? How did you call me my sweet daughter? It has been hard for us to reach you.”

 

He spoke in one single breath and it was a wonder he didn’t gasp for air after and even though I felt like I wanted to curl around myself and cry; I laughed nasally through my tears.

 

“CO Diaz came to my cell tonight and gave me his phone to call you. He told me that it was hard for every one of you to reach me.”

 

I said in a frail voice as I wiped away the tears and snot that were covering my fucking face and my eyes wandered to the CO who was watching me with a frown on his face, but then he went to my cell’s open door, and stood there giving me his back for some fake privacy.

 

“My sweet baby sister, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry for being an incompetent older brother. I have failed you and failed our parents, who asked me to take care of you. I’m so sorry Lola.”

 

Leonidas said in a choked voice and I could hear the tears in it and it broke my heart. It broke my heart to be the reason for causing him such pain.

 

But then I heard a hushed voice and someone moved in the background and my brother’s breathing was coming out muffled.

 

“Hey, Jason. I ordered you to take care of my brother and you are doing a poor job at it. I should kick your ass right now, but given my situation, I will do it when I come out. Suck his cock or something, shake that plump ass of yours, and take his mind off of things. He tends to speak and think bullshit when he has blue balls.”

 

I said teasingly, and I heard a nervous laugh later and knew that I was on speaker from the start. Because then I heard Jason’s nervous voice.

 

“Fuck you, Lola. I can give him a hug or a pat on the shoulders to comfort him, and that is it. But what you are asking of me is impossible.”

 

He said, laughing awkwardly, and I tilted my head to the side thoughtfully. The fuckers actually did something, and now Jason was confused because I think he liked it.

 

I grinned broadly and licked my lips as I felt myself return back to my normal self, or at least something in between. This little phone call was all I needed to take my mind off of my shitty reality.

 

“Aww, don’t be a pussy. It is not impossible. Look at all his previous lovers. They were able to take his cock. I know that my brother is packing, but all you need is lube and some preparation and you will see stars. I’m sure because everyone he fucked came back crawling. He will show you a whole new world, Jason, and you will love it.”

 

I said chuckling loudly, and I noticed that CO Diaz was looking at me in embarrassed big eyes and red blushing face. Either he was shocked by my filthy words or he was interested as well.

 

“Yeah, fuck you, bitch.”

 

Jason shrieked at me, then I heard something falling on the floor omfing and in my mind’s eye, I saw him pushing my clinging brother to his ass on the floor.

 

“Are you ok, Lola?”

 

Leo asked me in a sad voice and I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath, trying to control my emotions as much as I could because I knew that they were all hurting more than me.

 

“I’m fine, brother, and there is someone who is taking care of me as I said, so don’t worry. I can protect myself. Anyway, I wanted to ask you about someone in here with me.”

 

I said, frowning when I remembered why I wanted to call him in the first place. I wanted to know about that woman who keeps popping right in front of me every time I turn my face.

 

“There is a woman who is called Isis. I keep seeing her everywhere. On my first day in here, she seemed hostile, but then she told me about the bounty on my head, so I got confused. Still, there is something off about her. I asked CO Diaz about her, but all he knows is that she is from another mafia family and she killed someone to get in here and that is it.”

 

I said quickly when the CO signaled me to wrap it up and give him his phone back and the other end of the call went silent.

 

“You have a bounty on your head?!”

 

Leo said in confusion, making me sigh. So no one outside here knows about this. It is a hush hush thing I see.

 

“Yeah, around five mil or something. The new head of the Italians and the second in command. Both of them put a hit on me. And that girl Isis she was the one who informed me, actually, saying I should be careful the moment I sit my foot in inside this shitty place.”

 

I heard my brother pace in the background and stuff were kicked down and I leaned my head against the wall closing my eyes.

 

It hurts me to make him do this and worry him further about me, but I have no one else to ask. He was the only one now.

 

“What do you know about her?”

 

I knew he meant Isis because for him this was the urgent threat at the moment and I tried to remember what the CO told me.

 

“Just that her name is Isis Muhamed, and she was sentenced to life for murder. They think it was an honor thing but aren’t sure. Her file is private, and that is what was all in it. Nothing about her background or her connections. All they know is that she is a Mafia girl like me, and that is all. And I think they got this piece of info from her herself. You see why I’m worried.”

 

I said in a hurried voice because now CO Diaz was standing in front of me looking worried and his eyes were big and scared.

 

“I said I can’t take you to the bathroom, inmate. I don’t care if you feel something bites you or you keep scratching yourself, drawing blood. The shower time is just in the mornings.”

 

He said in a loud, angry voice, opening his hand for me to give him the phone and I handed it to him as I heard my brother’s angry voice in the background before ending the call.

 

“So now what? I should stay here in this disgusting place, tearing off my flesh because the mattress is fucking infested with something?!”

 

I shouted loudly, playing along, and I saw relief fill his features when he knew that I understood this little diversion.

 

“What the fuck is happening in here?”

 

That disgusting woman came shouting at us both and I wanted to roll my eyes. Since coming here and she took a special interest in me. I even doubted that she was interested in that money on my head.

 

“Nothing, inmate here thinks that she was still back in her mansion or something and demanding to take a shower because she was itchy.”

 

CO Diaz said snarling, making CO Smith tilt her head to the side thoughtfully, but then she grinned as if this thing was amusing.

 

“Aww, it is ok, Diaz. You know that we sometimes break the rules for our cutest inmates in here. She can have her little calming shower along with the others.”

 

The woman said softly and even Diaz looked at her, confused, and that made my hackles rise in alarm. This doesn’t sound right.

 

“No, I have changed my mind. I can wait for the morning. I don’t deserve any special favors from you, CO Smith. I don’t have anything to give you in return.”

 

I said, then I returned back to my bunk bed and slept on it, but then the woman glared at me and she pulled me back to my feet.

 

“That is very rude of you, Lola. Didn’t your parents teach you to accept such gifts and say thank you after?!”

 

I swallowed harshly when I saw the dark look on her face and my eyes fled to the male CO, who was watching us horrified and I knew something awful was about to happen and I couldn’t stop it.

 

So I just collected my things and followed her to the showers while she whistled a song as a broad grin graced her face.

 

Fuck, this felt like a lamb that was led to the slaughterhouse. I was going to be jumped and I didn’t have anything to defend myself with.
