Elena Walters is an ordinary actress who has starred in many plays and TV series since she was a child. But Elena's life is about to be turned on its head, completely flipped upside down.
Someone's put a target on her back, a target aiming to kill...
It was breakfast time when Sherlock and I began talking about my case. We were sitting in the corner of the cafeteria and kept our voices down in case anyone tried to eavesdrop. "Did you find out who framed me?" "Well it was just like you thought, Moran and Stillman" "But why?" "The most accurate hypothesis is that they got you arrested so the guys in here could finish the job" "But how'd they know I'd be taken to this prison? Just because it's the closest doesn't mean I had to be taken here" "Actually it does. Criminals are always put in the nearest prison unless it's full" "Okay, so they knew I'd be taken to this prison. That doesn't explain how they got all these inmates to listen to them. They're not a part of 'M' so why listen to someone from the group?" "They're not members of 'M'? How do you know?" "Well this is just a guess but I think they're part of another group. Every single man that's come to kill me has a tattoo of something on their neck. I've never seen the whole thing though" "What have you seen?" "A forked tongue. It has to belong to a snake or a demon of some kind" Sherlock's eyes widened. "What...?" "We need to find out what the rest of the tattoo is, it'll get us closer to finding the perpetrator" "How do you suggest we do that? Wait, what about talking to them in the showers?" "Have you forgotten I'm a guard? And even if I disguised myself as a prisoner, they've all seen me with you so they'll recognise me" "You're right...sorry" "You don't have to apologise. But we really do need to find out somehow" "What about me?" "Any idea where you have to do something is not allowed" "Sherlock I know how you feel but think about this logically. I'm the one they're after, it'll be much easier for me to get close to them without being suspected" "You don't know what they'd do to you" "It's the only way Sherlock. I know! Get me a set of walkie talkies. That way I can contact you if there's danger" Sherlock looked down unhappily. "Sherlock I know you're scared of losing me but if I don't do this we might never figure out who's trying to kill me" "You're right but..." "Whatever happens I'll make sure I don't leave you. I need you to trust me" "...alright. I'll get the walkie talkies but-" "If there's even the slightest indication of danger, call you? I will" "I love you Elena" "I love you too Sherlock" We shared a quick kiss as to lower the chances of anyone seeing us. "Okay I didn't get to question this yesterday. Are you feeling okay? You're really pale" "Well I feel a bit weak and dizzy but that's nothing" "I'd say it's something! We're going to the nurse's office" "If you think she can help" We arrived and she began examining me while Sherlock waited outside. "Did you find out what's wrong?" "You need food and water" My stomach rumbled painfully. "I guess I haven't drank much since I woke up...but there's no food for me to eat" "The cafeteria?" "That food makes me sick. Literally" "Hmm...if you come here during meal times then I'll give you something to eat. But don't tell anyone since I'm not allowed to do that" "Really? You'd do that for me?" "I don't believe a nice young lady like you committed a crime, you don't deserve this treatment yet the guards won't listen. It's the least I could do for someone wrongly imprisoned" "Thank you so much!" "Not a problem!" She smiled and I smiled back.
(At least I've got one ally in this place, un-including Sherlock that is)
She gave me a cheese toastie and a cup of coffee. I felt bad taking her breakfast but she told me she could easily go and buy another one. I thanked her before kindly devouring the sandwich and gulping down the coffee. She then gave me a mint afterwards so if anyone got too close they wouldn't smell it on my breath. "Thanks again nurse!" "My name's Judith but you can call me Judy. I'm not always on shift during the day but I'll always be here during meal times so there's no worry about that" "Okay then, thank you Judy. Bye!" "See you later!" I rejoined with Sherlock. "You look happy" "Never thought you'd be one to state the obvious but yes I am happy. Happy and cured" "So she found out what was wrong with you?" "Yup! Now let's get to work! We need to figure out a game plan" We went back to my cell to figure out what to do next.
TIMESKIP-CELL TIME AFTER YARD TIME ENDS
After getting my lunch from Judy, Sherlock and I put his plan into action. I had my walkie talkie and Sherlock had his. Sherlock insisted the plan be as danger-less as possible and I provided no argument there. I didn't like his plan but he promised to call me if anything went wrong. I was sitting on the bottom bunk of my bed as Sherlock had instructed me to stay in my cell for my own safety. Even though it wasn't like I could leave it anyway.
(I hope Sherlock knows what he's doing...)
I don't know how long I sat there as I didn't have a watch but I knew it had been over an hour.
(Sherlock didn't tell me how long his plan would take but I'm worried...)
My worry got the best of me and I ended up calling Sherlock. What happened next surprised me. I heard my own voice back through the walkie talkie.
(Is it broken? It can't be, Sherlock just bought them. Then that must mean...!!!)
I talked into my walkie talkie again and listened carefully. I climbed the ladder leading onto the top bunk and spoke into my walkie talkie once more. My voice came through louder and I picked up the pillow to feel it was heavier than it should have been. I fished into the pillow case and found the walkie talkie Sherlock should have been carrying on him.

(He tricked me!? That's so like him! Why didn't I see this coming?! Sherlock never planned to call me if he needed help! I can't believe him!!!)
TIMESKIP-Dinner time
I looked everywhere I was allowed to but couldn't find him anywhere. "Oh Sherlock...where could he be?" None of the guards knew of his whereabouts and the pit of worry in my stomach grew. My hands tightened around the rounders bat I was holding for my own protection. Someone tapped me and I turned around to see the first man who had tried to kill me. I held the bat in front of me and backed up to a safe distance. "Try anything and I'll hit you" "Feisty aren't we?" "You tried to kill me! You're lucky I haven't already hit you!" "I wouldn't advise on that if I were you" "And why's that?" "Because you'll never find that guard if you do" My eyes widened. "What'd you do to him?!" "Nothing much, so do you want to know where he is or not?" "How can I trust you?" Someone grabbed me from behind and covered my mouth. "Mmm!" "Don't you know? You can never trust a snake"
(So that's what the rest of the tattoo is!)
"Tape her up" "No! Let me go!" The man stuck duct tape over my mouth and my cries were muffled once again. He wrapped tape around my wrists and my ankles. "Let's go" "MMMM-!" The man holding me whacked me around the head with the bat he took from me and I lost consciousness.
