Wentworth Prison

Ch. 77: Linda's Past

Marie and them are standing outside of Barnhurst prison waiting for Lou and them to show up

'I can't believe this is the last undercover job that I will ever do' Marie says

'Yeah but this one broke you down mentally though' Boomer says

'Just think of it a bitter sweet moment' Allie says

'And plus you always wanted to retire after doing another prison run' Bea says

'Yeah that's true, besides Kaz wouldn't let me do another one anyway' Marie says

They see Kaz walking back to them and once she gets closer to them

'They said that they should be here in less then five minutes' Kaz says, she walks up to them

'Speaking of the devil bus, here it comes' Bea says, they laugh

The devil bus drives by them and goes to the main gate, the bus drives in and stops in front of fence of the inmates and more on the other side, Lou and them walks out of the bus,  Lou looks at all of them as she walks down the stairs and Marie waves at her and they laugh, Lou makes this disgusting look before going inside

'Should we all go out and celebrate?' Liz asks

'I don't see why not' Kaz says, Rita looks at her phone

'I have to take a ring check, I'll see you guys later' Rita says, she gets in her car and leaves

'I hope everything is ok' Allie says

'She look like she saw a ghost' Boomer says

'Wait what's today?' Bea asks

'June fourteen' Liz says

'That's the day Ray and Linda's dad died' Marie says

'Oh geez, Linda told me that she was going to destroy his grave stone but I didn't think she would actually do it' Kaz says

'And she drinks a lot during this time too' Allie says

'Hopefully Rita gets there before she does anything stupid' Marie says

'Well come on let's go celebrate this victory' Boomer says, changing the subject

They smile and gets into their cards then leaves

-

At the cemetery Rita gets there and she slowly walks up to Linda who's holding a sledgehammer in her hands and Rita sees that the headstone is destroy

'You're a little late' Linda says, not turning around

Rita walks up to her and takes the sledgehammer out of her hands and puts it against the tree

'I'll buy him a new one' Linda says

She turns and walks up to the tree, she sits down and opens a bottle of whiskey she starts drinking

'Ok' Rita says, she shakes her head and walks up to her, she bends down

'Want some?' Linda asks

'No, one of us has to drive home' Rita says

'Well more for me then' Linda says, she starts drinking some

Rita looks down and Linda looks at her

'Are you judging me how I grieve?' Linda asks, Rita looks at her

'No, I'm not, everybody has their own way of grieving, I'm just worrying about your addiction' Rita says

Linda looks down in shame and starts sobbing, Rita looks at her and gets up she walks behind Linda and sits down behind her and wraps her arms around her and Linda just cries into Rita's arms

-

At Rita's ranch she got Linda sober up and locked all the cabinets that has alcohol bottles, Linda is sitting on their bed and Rita walks in

'Drink this' Rita says, she walks up to Linda and hands her a cup of tea

'Thank you' Linda says

'You're welcome' Rita says, she sits down in front of her

'I realized something as you were doing everything down stairs' Linda says

'What did you realized?' Rita asks

'I rarely drink during the year but for some reason around this time I do drink a lot, I wonder why that is?' Linda asks

'Probably because around this time you still don't have closure for what your dad did to not just you but everybody else in your family' Rita says

'I did ask him a lot of times but he would never give any answers, so you're right about that one' Linda says

'I would say probably turn your pain into something that can releases it maybe just for a little bit' Rita says

'I can think of something but you probably feel like doing it after how I acted earlier' Linda says

Linda smirks and Rita puts her head she blushes and Linda chuckles, Rita lifts her head back up

'But in all seriousness maybe one of those classes that you can break stuff' Linda says

'There you go, something that isn't sex and drinking' Rita says, Linda chuckles

'I'm sorry for the way that I acted earlier' Linda says, Rita sits closer to her

'Like I said earlier I don't judge people who grieve, I just don't like when have to drink to make themselves feel better because there's other ways to let out the pain' Rita says, Linda smiles

'I'm still going to get him a new headstone anyway' Linda says

'You don't have to, he's already in hell so does really need one though' Rita says

'I always did say I would meet him in hell one day' Linda says, Rita chuckles

'How are you feeling now?' Rita asks, Linda puts the cup on the night stand

'I can tell that some of the alcohol is still in my system' Linda says

'Well after you get some sleep and I just mean sleep, it will leave eventually' Rita says, Linda chuckles

'Yes dear' Linda says

Rita smiles and Linda lays down then Rita lays down beside her and cuddles up her and Linda turns off the light next to her

'Goodnight I love you' Rita says, she kisses Linda on the head, Linda smiles

'Goodnight I love you too' Linda says, she turns her head and kisses Rita on the cheek

Linda turns back over to her left side smiling like there's no tomorrow because she has never felt this type of love from anyone not even her dead beat dad, they eventually follows asleep in each other's arms and Rita is smiling too just a little bit
