A Quiet Friendship Begins
Once Razor and the other women had gone, the young woman turned her attention back to the elderly prisoner.
She gathered the scattered belongings from the ground and placed them back into the small bag.
The elderly woman was grateful, but she was also worried about what the intervention might mean for her rescuer.
“Thank you, dear,” the elderly woman whispered. “But now you’re going to have problems because of me.”
For the first time since arriving in prison months earlier, the young woman showed a faint smile.
“I already have problems anyway.”
The words revealed something about the young woman’s attitude toward the danger she had just faced. She had not intervened because she believed there would be no consequences.
