Opposites Attract

Recorded

(FRANKY'S POV)

I fucking hate Ferguson. That bitch does everything her manipulative self could possibly do to get at me. I'm usually able to suck it up and get over it but what she did to Jodie...she went too far. She made Jodie stab herself with a pencil...in her fucking eye.

She even got to Red. Whatever happened in that boiler room...The Freak made sure Red couldn't be there for Jodie. Ferguson was winning this war...and that's what made me angry the most. She was winning, and there was nothing I could do about it.

I needed to talk to Gidget. Out of everyone in this fucking place, she was the only one that seemed to believe me.

I was in the exercise yard with Doreen. She was talking nonstop about Nash. I had zoned out about thirty seconds into her rave about him. I had bigger things to think about and honestly I didn't give a shit about her love life.

"Oi! Smiles!" I called as I saw her passing.

Officer Smiles sighed.
"What is it Doyle?"

"I need an appointment with Miss Westfall."  I told her.

"I'm not your fucking messenger Doyle."

"Well I can't do it, can I? I can't just walk through the fucking doors and go up and ask her for an appointment."

"Fine."

She walked away and I was about to sit back down next to Dor but I was sick of hearing about Nash, so I went inside. I chilled in my cell, waiting to hear back from Smiles.

She finally came in an hour later.

"Took you long enough." I said, getting up off my bed.

"Chill out Doyle. I couldn't fucking find you."

"Well there's not many places I can be!" I told her.

"Just shut up and come with me."

"So Miss Westfall is seeing me now?"

"Ferguson wants to see you."

I stopped walking. "What for?"

"How should I know? But your appointment with Miss Westfall was approved so after Ferguson talks to you I'll take you to see her. Now keep walking."

I followed her to The Freak's office, a sinking feeling in my chest. I wasn't scared of much, but I was fucking terrified of Ferguson. She had too much power and too many people that fell for her manipulation.

We stopped in front of The Freak's door and knocked.

We heard a gruff "Come in." from inside. I pushed open the door and hovered in the doorway.

"Take a seat Doyle. And you may go Officer miles."

"I'm supposed to take her to her appointment with Miss Westfall after this." Miles said.

"I'll take her." The freak said. "You can go."

Smiles nodded and walked out, closing the door behind her.

It was just the two of us. I sat down in the chair in front of the desk. I did my best to keep the fear out of my face and voice as I said, "What do ya want?"

"Just a chat." The Freak said simply.

"Then chat." I told her.

"There's no need to be hostile Doyle. Though, of course you have every right to be though, with what happened to poor Jodie. I'm sorry to hear about that by the way."

I resisted the urge to tackle her to the ground and beat the shit out of her.

"Yeah it was pretty fucked up." I said, glaring at her.
