The next day, a Monday morning, and from the Watcher’s perspective, he seemed as if he was living his usual life in jail.
The Watcher said to himself, “I feel like Johnny is suspicious of me. I wonder why. Is it because I keep going to some places at the wrong time?”

The Watcher had day shifts on some days, and night shifts on others. He didn’t have day and or night shifts on the same day as Johnny did. The Watcher worked day shifts on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. He worked night shifts on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and he got Sunday off. His job in jail had always been an assistant staff member with electrical work.

Circling back to his first thought in the morning, while The Watcher was doing his working shift, he had a little realization of why Johnny was starting to get suspicious. When he went to do his shift as an assistant electrical worker, he turned left to get to his work station. However, when Johnny did his shift as a cell cleaner, he turned right. Therefore, Johnny was never hanging out with The “all great” Watcher for most of the day.

After the Watcher finished his day shift, he walked to the cafeteria alone. Once he got to the cafeteria, he saw Johnny sitting with a girl.
He thought to himself, “I think I know this girl. She seems so familiar.”
The Watcher went and got his meal, and he went to sit next to Johnny.
When he got to the table, Johnny and the girl stopped talking. There was an awkward silence for about five minutes until The Watcher said,
“Hi, Johnny. Hello, nice to meet you.
The girl said, “Nice to meet you, too!”
The Watcher then said, “I go by The Watcher, how about you?”
The girl responded, “Hi, The Watcher. My name is Elise, and I think I have met you before.”
The Watcher was starting to feel a little bit nervous. He erratically said, “Huh? I have never met you before. Which part of the jail are you from?”
Elise ignored his question and said, “No, I am sure I have met you before. Were you the person who flamed me the night a few weeks ago?”

Meanwhile, Johnny was closely examining and, seeing that The Watcher was starting to lose his outer veneer, and starting to show his true character.
