Chapter 81 - Warden

"Mum, what are you doing here?" Claire inquired.

"It's been five years and this is usually the time you guys… you know," Maryann explained.

"Yes, I know but it's not going to be like the other times," Claire said.

"Where is your aunt, I know this is her doing," Maryann asked.

"I don't know where Aunty Beau is," Claire said.

"You and Iris have been running from me for years. I know her influence when I see it," Maryann stared Claire down hoping she would break.

"That's ridiculous, why would we run from you?" Claire replied.

Jane excused them but Nathan stayed watching them go back and forth.

Meanwhile, in a prison miles from the CSR, four men were lined up.

"You guys were supposed to go in and out in less than twenty minutes," said a man in a prison guard's uniform.

"Yes, unfortunately there were some unforeseen circumstances," one of the prisoners explained.

"Carl, I don't need your excuses," the guard yelled at him.

"Make sure you burn those skins," the guard added then walked away.

The prison guard walked into an office to see a man waiting by his desk.

"Commissioner!" the guard yelled and immediately saluted him.

"Where is Warden Jade?" the commissioner asked.

"He is not yet in sir," the guard replied.

"When he gets here tell him I want to see him," the commissioner said and walked out.

"He is here about the robbery, I can feel it," the guard said before walking out too.

The Commissioner was making his way to the exit when a voice called out to him.

"Officer Jade, I hear you were not yet in," the commissioner argued.

"Yeah, I arrived half an hour ago, just haven't been to my office," Warden Jade explained.

"Is there somewhere private we could talk?" the commissioner said and the warden looked around.

"We can talk in my office," the warden said and they both went to his office.

The warden got in and the commissioner followed. As soon as he got in he locked the door behind him.

He walked over to the warden and grabbed his neck then pinned him to the wall.

"Who are you?" the commissioner asked.

"I don't know what you are talking about," the warden replied.

"The warden will never have an important conversation in his office. He believes it is bugged," the commissioner explained.

"Oh," the warden said.

"Yeah, I won't ask again," The commissioner said.

The warden's face started to droop.

"Oh, you are one of those," the commissioner said and let go of him. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the goo off his hand.

"What are you doing impersonating the warden?" the commissioner asked.

"Officer Gerard asked me to do it," Carl explained.

"Why would… Gerard was behind the robbery," the commissioner's eyes lit up as he figured it out.

He turned around and his hand turned long and bony. On each figure were claws about three inches long.

He turned around and swung at Carl's neck ripping a huge chunk off. Carl gurgled as he fell to the floor.
