Inside the detention center.
Near the early hours of the morning, there was silence all around. During the day, Lauren did not bother Joyce again, and everyone was at peace for the time being.
Inside the cell, the others had long gone to sleep, and Joyce had also fallen asleep.
Vicki faintly heard the sound of a key turning from the gate, she had always been alert and she never slept too deeply, so the slightest sound could alarm her. Her eyes snapped open, the surroundings were extremely dark, but she was used to seeing things in the dark.
Vicki vaguely saw that it was a female prison guard, stout and, on a hunch, not the one who was normally running this place. The late night visit could only for one purpose, the newcomer Joyce.
During the day, she had her cellmates change beds, and Joyce was moved to the bunk next to her.
Vicki gently rolled over and got up, nudging Joyce in her sleep.
Joyce had been practicing shooting since childhood. Although not as alert as Vicki, she was also very sensitive to sounds.
She immediately woke up and her body moved slightly.
Vicki put a finger between her lips and makes a "shhh!" sound.
Joyce immediately understood. She also noticed that a female prison guard had just opened the chains of the iron door and was approaching her.
"It’s quite abnormal. If you're called out, you deal with it first and I'll see what happens." Vicki shut up and then quickly returned to her bunk and pretended to sleep. There is no shortage of such dark hands reaching out in the detention center, taking suspects away in the middle of the night, raiding them for interrogation, or torturing them and sending them back half dead.
The female prison guard came to Joyce's side, lifted her foot and kicked Joyce, saying nonchalantly, "Wake up."
She hit hard and kicked Joyce in the shoulder.
