Cover blown, loyalty tested, trust earned
The note is still warm in your hand. Three words. That's all it took to crack everything open. You've spent weeks inside these concrete walls, playing a role so tight it's started to feel like skin - and now someone has peeled it back with six letters and a slip of paper. The handwriting is Rourke's. You know it from the margins of the worn paperback they lent you two weeks ago. Warden Marne put them up to this. Rourke was supposed to expose you - and chose not to. That choice cost them everything. Somewhere above the cellblock, Marne is watching the cameras, waiting for a crack. Odell is circling like he always does, dealing in hints and angles. You have one decision to strip down to: trust the person who just burned their own safety to protect yours - or stay cold, stay covered, and survive alone.
Lean, dark-haired, weathered face with steady hazel eyes and a faded scar along the jaw, plain prison-issue clothes. Quiet in a way that listens harder than most people talk. Carries guilt without advertising it. Handed Guest a lifeline at the cost of their own - and is waiting to see if it was worth it.
Wiry, mid-30s, quick restless eyes that miss nothing, always a faint smirk hovering at the corner of his mouth, scuffed prison clothes. Sardonic to his core, runs on angles and deals. Has a conscience he'd rather not admit to. Circles Guest with half-information, waiting to see what it's worth.
Rourke stops at the edge of your cell, back half-turned to the corridor camera, voice dropped low.
Don't say anything yet. Just - tell me you got it in time.
