Around three in the afternoon, C-Note handed the weapon to Nolan, it was a cone-shaped iron blade, about the size of a palm, with decent thickness and sharp edges on the sides and tip, made to be thrown without issue.
Nolan crouched and hid it in his sock.
"Thanks."
"No problem, brother, take care." said C-Note as he walked away.
"Uh-huh."
Without anyone knowing, the calm was about to end, after eating and taking a shower.
Under the guards' supervision, the prisoners returned to Area A, each entered their cell according to the rules and waited for free activity time to start at seven.
"Do you know what's going to happen?" In the cell, Nolan felt the weapon hidden in his sleeve and asked Michael.
Michael looked at him and frowned, "It's got nothing to do with me."
Nolan smiled, "You're naive."
Michael didn't reply, Nolan closed his eyes and waited in silence.
On one hand, he had been preparing himself mentally for a while, on the other, he had already been through three consecutive fights, at that moment, even if he couldn't say he fully accepted what was about to happen, at least he could adapt or learn not to overthink it.
He told himself, "Sooner or later this happens, just grab the bull by the horns and do it."
He knew well how fast and obvious his inner changes were, "Deep down, I'm not a good person."
He sighed and tried to calm himself, getting ready to take advantage of the chaos, right then he was both nervous and excited.
It was his first time doing it for himself, and the first time always brings strange emotions, in the blink of an eye, seven o'clock came.
"All prisoners, stand at your cell doors!" shouted a guard right on time.
Creak~~
The cell doors opened slowly, the prisoners walked to the entrance and lined up, Nolan and Michael were no exception.
"Newbies, the show's about to start." said a white inmate in the next cell quietly, Michael simply ignored him.
Nolan smiled decisively, "Yeah, I've been waiting a long time."
The white inmate next to him was surprised, opened his mouth to speak, but a guard on the first floor shouted.
"Silence!!"
All the prisoners stopped in front of their cells, the atmosphere fell silent, but it was only the calm before the storm.
A white inmate on the first floor stepped forward and lit the spark of the war between whites and blacks.
"Bauer, stand down!" yelled the guard, but it was too late.
"Kill them!" someone shouted.
The war officially began, whites and blacks hurled themselves at each other with fury.
In seconds, Michael, who believed none of it involved him, was grabbed by a huge black man who slammed him against the railing and threw him to the first floor.
The guards fled immediately, leaving the area clear, that was what Nolan had been waiting for, and as soon as he saw them retreat, he didn't hesitate.
He lunged forward and stabbed several times into the fat black man who had thrown Michael, the white blade entered and came out red, he pushed him over the railing and rushed back to his cell, waiting for the next victim.
Seconds later, a white inmate ran past, and Nolan came out again, shoved him into the void too, then returned once more to wait like a ghost, the alarm blared, in less than a minute there were already seven or eight dead.
Abruzzi watched from his cell, confused and terrified to see Nolan attacking indiscriminately like a killer.
"This guy's too cruel." he thought, abandoning the idea of teaching him a lesson.
C-Note, who was hiding, also watched, seeing how Nolan attacked with such precision left him frozen with fear.
"How many's that already? Little Jack, Bowman, Quinn, plus the four he just stabbed… seven!"
He remembered Dragon Ball and thought in horror that Nolan looked like he was collecting the spheres to summon the dragon.
Meanwhile the battle continued, Michael struggled to climb back up when T-Bag appeared shouting, "Scofield!!"
In his hands he carried the screw Michael needed, Michael saw the chance and instead of dodging, lunged from behind and snatched the screw away.
But a black inmate stabbed T-Bag, leaving him dying in front of Michael, Nolan, who had just shoved another inmate, dropped his weapon, shook his head, and calmly returned to his cell.
He lay on the top bunk while the other prisoners, terrified, avoided even approaching the door of cell 40, it was as if that place had turned into the entrance to hell.
