The Jail Cell Meme

 
"What are you in for?"

Maybe you've only been arrested, or you've been convicted. 
Holding cell, prison cell, your choice.
There's now bars between you and the outside world.
Hope you like your cell mate.
And your guards.

[Mary hides herself from anyone outside the cell as she starts to cry piteously.]

[stoogesofsanfran]

[Ratso kneels down next to her and puts a hand on her shoulder.]

We'll keep ya safe, promise.



An' we'll start by havin' a word with whoever gave ya that bruise.

[fortunetelloli]

[She barely expected it from herself, but she turns to cling to Ratso, crying on his chest.] I thought I was going to be all alone for the rest of my life!

[stoogesofsanfran]

[Ratso puts his arms around her in a gentle hug.]

There there kid, we'll look after ya.



[Finn stands up for long enough to walk over next to Mary before crouching down to put a hand on her back.]

So, what's your name, kid?

[fortunetelloli]

[She's smiling a bit through her tears now,] Mary, Mary Weather Duke.

[stoogesofsanfran]

I'm Finn. These are my bros, Ratso and Chow.

[He waves at each in turn.]



Hiya.



Yo.

If I was caught for stealing, then I would have been okay with going to prison for a while, but as it is they tried me as an adult and I got life. Only thing I ever did wrong was steal to eat sometimes. I don't even know why I was framed of all people. [She sighs,] At least meals are steady here and I don't have to worry about rent. Even though I was never wrong, fortune telling on the streets doesn't pay very well. It was always a struggle to keep mum's apartment.

[stoogesofsanfran]

Woah, even we didn't get that back when we was in prison before talkin' to Captain Black.



Fifty years ain't much better. But probably someone in the system has it out for her.



Sounds like.

[fortunetelloli]

I don't know why. I don't know what I did wrong. [She stares down at her tiny little hands. They look so delicate and small, especially with them shaking.] But someone must. Or they were just that disgusted with the idea that I could have killed the two most precious and important people in my life.

[stoogesofsanfran]

Could be they're lookin' to draw attention away from who really dunnit, and you just happened to make a good scapegoat.



In which case I double wanna punch 'em in the face.

[fortunetelloli]

[She looks to them sadly, but then pushes through a smile,] Well, there's not much I can do about it now, so I might as well make the best of it.

It does mean I will always be able to have three meals a day and a roof over my head. That's not too bad!
