Judith understood what Joyce was thinking and said directly, "It's true this time. I have the paperwork stamped. Let's go, they are already waiting for you." After saying that, she looked at Georgia and said fiercely, "Get back to your second section. Someone wants to see Joyce, and the chief has called personally tonight, so if you don't want your business to be exposed, get lost if you know what you're doing, and I'll pretend that nothing happened tonight. Otherwise, no one will have a good time from now on."
The detention center was a place where the weak was meant to be bullied by the strong. If you were not tough enough, you just could not survive.
Georgia gritted her teeth and got up from the ground. She fell badly just now, and the injury in her right arm was quite serious. Her sturdy body shaking all the way along, and she felt both wretched and reluctant. She cast them all a fierce glare, before leaving reluctantly.
Judith led Vicki and Joyce back to the cell first.
Joyce again expressed her gratitude, "Vicki, thank you so much for tonight."
Vicki walked into the cell and said to Joyce through the bars, "I'm not going to do you a favor for nothing, remember you owe me a favor that you're going to have to pay back later."
Joyce nodded her head, looking serious "Don't worry, I will do my best within my ability."
Vicki's lips showed a smile, looking enchanting and stunning in the dark night, "Joyce, goodbye. See you later."
Joyce frowned gently, showing a puzzled look. She was only there for a short meeting, and then she had to go back to her cell, and soon she and Vicki would meet, so what was the “see you later” for?
"Get going. We've been delayed quite a while." Judith urged.
"Okay." Joyce followed Judith to the direction of the parlor, leaving some distance away. She suddenly looked back, only to see Vicki still standing behind the bars, watching her leave. She was grateful, and could not help but look at Vicki a few more times, as if to carve Vicki's face firmly in her mind. Although she was in prison, she was helped by Vicki. Although their experiences, personalities and lives were far apart, she was lucky to have made such a friend.
