Sophia Carter's POV
Two Months Later
This cafeteria is seriously shit. I've been here for two years and some time now and I still haven't got used to it. Like seriously, who the fuck wants to eat meat slob everyday. I mean, I get we're prisoners and all, but it's seriously disgusting. Like geez man.
Anyway, two months ago, Angelie Crawford - better known as Sarah Walter - told me that the underboss of the Hellhounds - Phantom's gang - got arrested, and that he's been transferred here at Cape Vincent County Prison. I've only seen him once or twice around here, since he tends to hang out with other male prisoners. Him and his roommate seem to be pretty darn well acquainted though. Like seriously well acquainted... get what I mean? His cellmate is also a huge criminal that is acquainted with Phantom. According to Angie, he got arrested while doing a job for him.
I'm not going to lie, the two of them are hot as fuck. After me, they're the ones everyone here fears. Even if they've only been here for two months. According to my sources, both of them have at least committed one murder in their lives. That's all I know though. The only reason I kept a closer eye on them is because of their connection to Phantom. While he happens to be an ally of my family, it doesn't mean he can't try to gain information on me while I am locked away from the world.
Things at home have been running smoothly with Enzo Bianchi in charge. He was my father's advisor when he was Capo of the Italian mafia, although he never liked the way my father ran things. When he heard I would be taking over, he offered to help run things while I am in prison, so my return would go smoothly. At first, I wasn't sure whether to trust him, but he proved his loyalty when he helped take down everyone who was still loyal to my father in The Black Hand. I was not only grateful for his service, but also indebted to him. He saved me a great deal of time by doing that.
To repay him, I put a team together to help find his missing wife. Even if I was in prison, with three guards working for me, it makes everything easier to still be in contact with the outside world. I had asked Angie to put together my best men so that the search would end up going faster. I had asked her to ask our hackers if they could find anything with their magic fingers, and they ended up being able to pinpoint a location. She was found in Georgetown, Delaware, in a warehouse. Helping Enzo find his wife helped me to become more appreciative for my family, and since everyone working for me is considered family, I would gladly put my life on the line if it means finding someone who meant so much to my family.
Anyway, after my first day here, I became feared by every criminal here. Not necessarily because of my strength - since I'm sure many of the men could take me on - but because of my wits. I have information that I hold over every single criminal's head and everyone here learnt the hard way of the power I hold. They may not know that I am the Capa of the Italian mafia, but they do know that I am not someone to be messed with.
Last year, there was this man, I honestly don't remember his name, and he claimed to be very powerful back in Italy. Actually, he claimed to be the unknown leader of the Italian mafia. Since there is only one Italian mafia - La Mano Nera - and I am that unknown leader, it's impossible for him to be that unknown leader. Not only that, but he claimed to be the Capo back in Italy, even though The Black Hand is actually based in the US now. Sure, we have a second family in Italy, but those are my cousins. Which the man happens not to be. Let's just say that with a little digging, I was able to find out that he was actually a male prostitute that would open his legs for literally anyone he came across - including some of the criminals here. My team of hackers back home put together a little presentation and published it everywhere across all platforms - which actually included a few sex tapes. He was raped and killed by many male prisoners who took him for exactly what he was, a slut. A few weeks after the ordeal, some random guy figured out that I was the one behind what happened and now everyone fears me. Which to me, isn't a bad thing at all.
Anyway, I just finished the awful meat slob that they serve in the cafeteria. I should probably head to the showers if I want to get a stall to myself. If I don't get there early, I get to shower with amazing men who love to leave their dicks out and hanging. Yeah, no. I would really rather kill myself than take a shower with those snobbish creeps.
I head to my cell to grab my hygiene bag. This bag is given to every criminal at Cape Vincent on their first day, and the products like toothbrushes, toothpaste, and pretty much anything that can last for more than a month, get switched out for new ones every three months. Once I get there, I find Tammy sitting on the bed opposite mine. I mask my face and fake a smile. "Hey," she said when she saw me come in. "Are you going for a shower?"
"Yeah, you know how I like to be the first one there," I responded with a smile. I hate that I have to mask all the time around her, but I can't risk her knowing that we're onto her. Mike is supposed to come back to me with what my hackers back home found on her soon. I really wish it would be sooner though, but we can't take any chances. I only have three guards working for me, which is more than enough in my opinion, but with the hundred or so guards that work here, you can never be too careful about how you obtain information.
I grabbed my bag and headed out of my cell. I have to go meet Mike and Nolan before I go shower, so I do so as secretly as possible. Once I get to the meeting place - which happens to be the gym since it's always empty at this hour - I meet the two guards at the bench press. "Got anything new today?" I asked as soon as I came into hearing range. I get daily updates about everything that happens in this prison, as well as anything new in the outside world.
"Nope," Mike said, popping the 'p'. "Nothing new. I mean, if you don't count the Hellhounds going after one of our mutual enemies, then nothing happened." At the mention of a mutual enemy, my eyes shot to his as a silent command to explain.
He sighed. "Apparently, the Grave Kings are back at it again," he said, sounding exasperated. The Grave Kings are one of my father's longtime enemies. They used to have an alliance around 15 years ago, but something happened - I don't know what - and they had a fallout. Literally. There's been a gang war between us ever since. Sure, my family may be a mafia, but we do have many gangs that work for us or that we are allied to. One of them being the Hellhounds. We've been in a gang war for quite some time now and it doesn't look like it will get any better any time soon.
"Alright. Keep me updated on that situation," I finished and turned around to head to the showers. I didn't stay long enough to see Mike wink, but with the amount of times I've had sex with him, I know him well enough to say that he can't get enough.
Entering the huge ass universal bathroom - because of course, in a bisexual ward there's no female or male bathrooms - I make my way to the furthest shower stall from the entrance. I hang my hygiene bag on the hook that is on the door, and set the products I will need for my shower on the shelves on the shower wall. I'm just about to grab my soap bar when a hand pushes me so that my chest touches the far wall.
"What the fuck!?" I exclaim in surprise. I turn my head to see who the hell dared to shove me up against the wall, and I see two new but familiar faces. Getting an idea in my brain, I smirk and lower my eyes to their regions.
"Have you two come to play?"
