While Johnny was listening to the conversation, he was beginning to think that The Watcher actually wasn’t a prisoner.
He thought to himself, “This man has to be something else. It has become so obvious. Elise is poking all those holes in his story.”
Elise then asked The Watcher, “Is your name actually ‘The Watcher”? It seems rather ambiguous that someone’s name is “The Watcher.”
The Watcher replied, “No, but the reason I go by ‘The Watcher‘ is that I was watching and waiting for someone to go inside the cell I was originally in.”
Elise’s last words before dinner were, “Hey Watcher! I’m watching you!”
After a thirty-minute interrogation, dinner was over.
On the walk back to the cell, Johnny wanted to say something to The Watcher, but he didn’t know what to say.
He was so lost because he was uncertain of The Watcher’s true character. He thought they had been in the same cell and the same situation.
However, after he heard the conversation between The Watcher and Elise, he didn’t believe that anymore.
When they got to the cell, The Watcher asked Johnny, “How did you meet that girl? Who even is she?”
Johnny replied, “She is a cell cleaner like me. I have a question to as-”
Suddenly, all the lights turned off, and the guards were standing by all the cells.
The sirens were screaming, “Lockdown! Guards standby! Lockdown! Guards standby!”
Both The Watcher and Johnny were in total shock.
The Watcher said, “Out of In my fifty-five years in this jail, I have never experienced this before!”
Johnny thought in his head, “After the conversation The Watcher had with Elise, I was starting to get suspicious of him. But now that the lockdown drill happened, it seems like he wasn’t the cause of it, because The Watcher and I are in the same cell. Therefore, I am less suspicious of him now.”
Unexpectedly, the warden, who is was dressed in all black and has had a wrinkled face, came into Johnny and The Watcher’s cell and grabbed Johnny
Johnny was then pulled into a cell on the other side of the jail.
Johnny thought in his head, “What is happening? I did nothing! Why am I getting pulled out and not the The Watcher?”
As the cell doors closed, the sirens became silent.
