The prison guard led Charlie to the door of cell number 8.
The prisoners inside were laughing and chatting. As soon as the prison guard shouted through the door, all the prisoners stood in a line in the middle of the cell.
Two guards stood at the door and checked the number of prisoners through the iron bars. Then, they used the intercom to inform their colleague to open the door. Next, they went inside to check the cell. After confirming that everything was clear, the guards signaled to the prison guard behind Charlie. The guard nudged Charlie and gestured for him to go in.
An awful stench hit Charlie's nose as soon as he entered the cell and made him frown in disgust. He could smell a sour and rusty odor, body odor, and foot odor mixed with the odor of bedding in addition to the smell of the toilet, which was disgusting.
Charlie's wrinkled expression was a stark contrast to the other prisoners who didn't seem to care about the stench at all.
Among them, a muscular and bearded white man laughed at Charlie's frown and teased, "Wow, this beauty doesn't seem to like our mess!"
The prisoners burst out laughing. A thin dark man chortled obscenely. "Boss, he looks cute. He's your type!"
"Haha!" The muscular man guffawed, "I'll make him get used to my body odor and cock ASAP!"
The laughter became louder. Charlie stared at the muscular man and frowned in irritation as ten thousand ways to torture him flashed through his mind.
He turned to the guard and asked with a chuckle, "Sir, how is he? Is he dead?"
"Not yet. Thank goodness for that. They're still trying to save him." The prison guard warned with a dark expression on his face, "But the doctor can't say for sure whether he will survive, so don't cause me any more trouble."
He glanced at Charlie and scowled at Dean. "I'm not trying to stop you from doing certain things, but don't overdo it. Most importantly, don't get me into trouble."
"Okay, alright." Dean chuckled. "I'll tone it down."
