Footsteps began echoing down the hall, growing louder as they came closer. They stopped in front of Rusty’s cell.
“Hey Chubby,” Rusty smiled, discreetly brushing away another tear.
“How ya doin, shit for brains?”
“Oh couldn’t be better, Quadzilla,” he replied. “Any word on the TV?”
Chubby chuckled, a toothpick rolling in his mouth. “Those old boys aren’t going to give you a TV after what you did to their people. You’re lucky to have that pencil and pad of paper.”
Rusty sighed. “Cocksuckers,” he mumbled. “What am I supposed to do all day, Chubs? Count the cracks in the walls again? Make new friends with another spider?”
Chubby shrugged, a blank expression covering his face. “If ya can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.”
“I didn’t do the crime! How many times do I have to tell you that?”
Chubs laughed, the toothpick wiggling in his mouth.
“I didn’t do it either! I’m innocent! Let me out of here!” Gary yelled, pounding on his cell door across the hall.
“Yeah, me neither! You got the wrong guy, homes!” Pablo shouted from the cell next to Gary’s.
“Yo, me too!” Jamal insisted, in the tiny cell next door to Rusty. “I didn’t do shit! It was my sister!” he said, triggering a burst of laughter from the others.
Chubby shook his head. “Tell your new spider friend I said hello,” he chuckled, continuing down the hall to a rowdy chorus of hooting and hollering.
