Chapter 78

ALEX'S POV

I sat in my cell, mindlessly reading a book to pass the time. The words blurred together on the page as my mind wandered to all the things I would do if I were ever released. I had only been in here for a week, but it felt like an eternity.

Then, I heard the sound of the warden's keys jingling outside my cell. I sighed, wondering what was going on.

"Addams, you're coming with me," the warden said gruffly.

I didn't respond, didn't even look up from my book. I set my book aside and followed him, curious. Where were we going?

As we walked, the warden didn't say a word. I began to wonder if I was in trouble.
