The next morning, I woke up, Chato's arms still wrapped around me. I turned and saw him looking at me, a small smile on his lips. I kissed him softly, savoring the feel of his warm lips on mine.
The door opened and I looked over, a guard walking in and immediately jumping and looking away.
"Could you two, uh, get dressed?"
I looked down and realized that both Chato and I were completely naked. I quickly grabbed a blanket and put it over me, my shirt still in ashes, as Chato jumped up and grabbed his pants. As he did so, I noticed deep scratches in his back and I winced, knowing that they were my fault.
When we were presentable, the guard looked in my general direction, obviously still recovering from seeing me naked.
"I have orders to move you to your new cell."
My jaw dropped. "What?! I have a deal with Waller!"
"Deals change!" He snapped at me, and I could feel Chato's heat radiating off of him in irritation.
I put my hand on his arm and quickly pulled away, his skin nearly burning me. He looked at me concerned and pulled away, afraid of hurting me.
"It's ok Chato. I'm fine. See?" I held out my hand, and he hesitantly took it. "I'll see you at lunch. Might as well see my new cell."
"Nope. Both of you are coming with me."
Chato and I looked at each other in confusion and surprise.
------
We followed the guard, Chato beside me shirtless, and I with his shirt on, trying my best to keep my hands to myself and not feeling up his hot body, pun intended.
The guard led us to a door, which opened to a room, roughly 15x20 feet with a queen sized bed, a toilet, sink, mirror, and three fire extinguishers.
When we saw the fire extinguishers, it took us several moments to regain composure as we laughed together.
The guard left a tray of food and a note before closing the door behind us. As Chato started eating, I read the note out loud.
"'Try not to set the bed on fire. We will not be replacing the bed. A. W.'"
I looked up at Chato, his mouth full of food. I smiled and kissed his cheek when a second note slid from under the door. I looked at him again, and got up to retrieve the note. When I got up to note, I heard a man speaking just loud enough for me to hear.
"After you read it, have Diablo burn it. Waller can't know."
I looked up at the door, surprised and I whisper back. "Flagg?"
"Shhh. When you've read it, burn one hole in his shirt for yes and two for no. I have to go. Good luck."
With that, I heard footsteps walk away. I picked up the note and walked to Chato, who was looking at me and the door with bewilderment.
"Well, what does it say mamasita?"
I opened the paper and cleared my throat. "'Waller is going to use your child to experiment on. She has her eyes on my unborn child as well. I can't leave her grasp. Maybe you two can. My plan is dangerous. If caught you could get killed. If we succeed, you can live your lives free from Waller. Can't release all the info yet. If you're in, I will begin preparations. Good luck. R. F.'"
I looked up at Chato, his eyes wide in surprise. "I will follow you anywhere, mi amor. But if I lose you..." He looked so sad, so lost.
I kissed him gently. "Chato, I don't like the odds, either. But, I will never let Waller take our baby from us. This may be our only chance to get out. Familia esta prima."
