knee. âHere, read this shit right here. Take your rec time and go to the law library. This shit right here helped me and a few bitches upstate get an early release,â Allison said, tossing a thick packet of papers at Kima.
She picked them up and could tell they were legal briefs. Here we go again , Kima was thinking.
Allison was like the jail lawyer, always spitting about getting cases over turned on shit like illegal searches and lack of rights. Kima just figured Allison was talking shit.
âDonât just hide that shit under your bunk. When I leave out of here, you better read that shit. Iâm telling you, there might be something between them pages thatâs gonna save your ass, chica,â Allison said seriously.
âYou know what? There is something you can do for me when you get out. I want to know itâs done before I get transferred upstate. Promise?â Kima asked seriously, ignoring what Allison was saying about the legal briefs.
âI got you. Just say the word and itâs a done deal. Shit, especially if itâs something to get back at that no good nigga of yours Iâm down for sure. You know Iâm Puerto Rican, we love revenge,â Allison replied. She looked at Kima and they both started laughing.
âYou know you just made that shit up just now,â Kima laughed.
âBut it got a bitch feelinâ better and shit, right? Aâight then. My work is done here,â Allison chuckled.
Little did she know, Kima had a bigger job for her than she thought. Revenge was an understatement.
Chapter 6
Allison and Kima held each other in a long embrace. Kima was sniffling back the snot that threatened to escape her nose, but Allisonâs face was dry. She would miss Kima, but she couldnât bring herself to cry. Allison was happy as hell.
âCâmon chica, donât be crying and shit. Youâre making me sad on my release day, when a bitch like me is supposed to be jumping for joy. I told you, you gonâ be aâight in here. If you would just listen to me and read that shit I gave you, youâll be joining me soon,â Allison said.
They let each other go and Kima swiped at the tears on her face. âThis is a happy day, youâre right. Iâm sorry if Iâm gonna miss a crazy Puerto Rican chica that made my days doing this time easier,â Kima said, smiling at her friend. âJust be good out there,â Kima told her.
âCâmon, I know you didnât mean nothing. Iâm a real lovable bitch so I know you gonâ miss my ass,â Allison said trying to put Kima at ease. âYou know the first thing Iâm going to do when I hit the world. Iâm not going to let you down Kay Kay. For real, Iâma tell you somethinâ, I never had a female friend before I met you. I never got along with chicks, but you were different from day one. Iâm your true friend,â Allison told her.
That had touched Kimaâs heart. She had never had a female friend either. Kima never trusted anyone like she trusted Allison. Kima guessed doing time together could make the most unlikely of people formulate a bond.
âDiaz, letâs go! Unless you plan on staying with us another year or something,â a male C.O. called out. Allison smiled at Kima one last time. âIâm coming, fat ass!â Allison snapped at the C.O. She and Kima laughed.
âDoing hard time ainât nothing for ride or die bitches like us. Itâs those bitch-ass niggas that canât make it inside the walls. Thatâs why they send us to do their fuckinâ dirty work like pussies,â Allison called over her shoulder.
Kima nodded in agreement. Although she felt sad, Kima was excited about the possibilities of what Allison could do for her from the outside. Kima walked back over to her bunk and picked up the paperwork Allison had given her. Kima finally took Allisonâs advice and began to read the thick
