"Inmate Chapman follow me please." Officer Bennett said silently, tapping Piper on the shoulder. She looked back and forth from Nicky to Morello with a questioning look. Nicky shrugged her shoulders,

" Good luck Chapman." Piper was led away briskly by Bennet, his posture a bit more uptight that usual. She was led silently through the prison, direction in Caputo's new office

"Chapman," greeted Caputo with a grimace. "You have a call from an ex-inmate, you have four minutes." Caputo handed her the phone, leaving the room with Bennet behind. The phone let out a windy static and a faded echo of the city, seemingly far away. The noise was broken by a ragged but audible voice

"Pipes?" She knew it.. Alex. Crying.

"Oh my god Alex are you alright?" A heavy sob was heard in the background.

"No... listen Piper, I can't stay for long but I wanted to say something..." She drew a heavy breath in.

"Alex, whats going on.. what are you doing?" Piper was on the verge of crying now too, she was scared.

"Piper I love you. Please know that, I love you Piper Chapman and I want you to know this isn't your fault."

" Alex what the fuck is going on?! " Piper screamed into the phone, "Alex ANSWER ME!"

" Im sorry..." The phone line went dead except for whistling of the wind into the speaker. Silence. The crunch of bone interrupted the static, and screams from several people ricoched through the dead sound. Piper's mind raced, was Alex dead? No. No.. Please no she can't be.

"Hello?" A man's voice. Piper was hesitant- her voice shaking.

"W-Where is A-Alex?" The man was silent, only for a moment.

"I'm sorry... It looks like your friend-" He sighed, "Your friend is dead."

"No...no, NO! LIAR!" Piper screamed into the phone until she was torn back by Bennett.

" Inmate- calm THE FUCK down!" Caputo rushed in as Piper balled her eyes out, screaming non-sensical words at nothing. Bennett looked at Caputo and back at Piper, whom was curled into a ball on the ground- now silent. The newly appointed Executive Assistant Warden sighed,

" Put her in SHU until she calms down- suicide watch.


Breakfast was over, there was still no sign of Chapman and Morello was worried. She briskly walked the B dorm, gone. Bathrooms, gone. She was about to check the yard but the shuffling of boots interrupted her- it was Bennett, "Morello work started five minutes ago, thats a shot." Her eyes widened but remembered Bennett was the one to take Chapman.

"...Officer Bennett? What happened to Chapman?" Bennett was silent for a moment, he muttered

"In the SHU, suicide watch... Now get back to work inmate." Morello hurried down the corridor to work. This was not good at all.
