"...How do you know my name?" Betty asked, her voice confused.
"Are they telling about other prisoners to the newcomers these days?" she added. I could practically sense her snorting on the other side of the wall.
"Not exactly... Let's just say I'm a bit of a special case," I replied.
"Well, whatever. I only have a month here," she said casually.
By the way she didn't mean she'd be released after a month. She meant she was going to be executed after it.
"That's sad," I said, leaning back against the cold stone wall with my eyes closed.
I was guessing she was doing the same on the other side too.
"What was your D-day?" she asked.
"Hmm... they said something about twenty-year imprisonment," I replied, a smirk forming on my face. "But then I went ahead and called your sis by name. Let me tell you, Alex, she was not impressed."
There was only silence from the other side.
Complete, heavy silence.
