Xander noticed now his favorite guard in the facility had his bud with him this time. Good old Joshua was passing in front of his room. This guy is one of the most serious of the guards in this place. Must be because of all the shit he has had to put up with over the years thinking to himself as he empathized with his situation. Being in any sort of authority position, regardless of the situation, always had an innate stress to it. Xander was of course apart of the majority that may not like the people running this asylum but who was he to blame those at a lower level, such as a guard?

"Well if it isn't Joshua one of the hardest working cats in this place," he began saying as he leaned against the wall next to the entry of his room, "Ichi taking you on a walk again? Always good to keep up the cardio for health reasons so I respect him for keeping you in shape." Smiling at Josh hoping he would take it as a joke to lighten his mood up.

A pitter-patter of little feet started coming down the hallway. Could it be my favorite guard in this whole damn place?! Xander thought to himself as he sat up and stared at the hall. There the ole pup was, Ichi. Makings his rounds like the good working dog that he was. Xander wandered up to the edge of his room just to watch the Shepard pass by. What I wouldn't give for a damn dog in this place to pass the time beginning to remember his Australian Shepard Pepper. How Xander missed the days of just going to the park to throw the frisbee to him. Some of the most relaxing days he could have ever asked for. Looking around the room for his pad and paper he made a note to himself. Right so first thing on my to do list is get a dog when I am out of here. Second thing is avenge Chase. Shouldn't be to hard of a list to get done making light of the situation again he couldn't help but smile at the circumstance he was in.

Xander's eyes followed Kevin down the hallway. Well I guess I could have ended up with a broken bone or two. I think that worked out nicely. His posture returned to normal and he ended up back in his room. Rolling onto his bed he began to sing Dream a little dream of me by Ella Fitzgerald. Music soothed Xander, it was his calm place. Whenever he sang he could always return to easier times. Times like sitting in his bed waiting to go on mission deployed.
What about that time at Chase's wedding? Oh Xander remembered it vividly. Chase, his best friend, asked him to sing at his wedding and he of course was honored. The smell of the roses still burned into his nose. Remembering Chase and Vivian dancing while he sang L.O.V.E by Nat King Cole.
As the memory faded a single tear rolled down his eye and his fist clenched. "I will find them Chase, I swear to God I will find them and kill them. For you brother and your memory."

Just added a pic for Xander. Sorry it is late

Xander put his hands up in defense, "Easy there tiger was just poking some fun at ya, I think an old lady, such as myself can show herself to her cell thank you." As he finished his joke, miming that his back was breaking, he noticed the fluid spray the cell. Instead of shock coming across his face he just smiled for a second. Upon turning back to Kevin he jested, "Looks like your boyfriend isn't such a gentleman huh?" As the joke left his lips he slowly turned his toes toward his cell. If Kev doesn't take this joke too well. Running isn't just gonna be an old pass time of mine, it is gonna become my means of survival from this muscle bound monkey as the thought ended a smirk appeared, ever so sarcastically, across his face.

Xander was just about to make it to his cell until he noticed the guard, Kevin, wandering his hall. With a smirk he said, "Well if it isn't ole Kev Kev." Apparently Kev Kev was a good thing to say at the time. Xander just sort of went with it as he approached the guard. "Making your rounds again around the "super scary" inmates here?" Saying with a bit of a laugh.

Whenever Kevin would walk past his cell, or he noticed him in the halls he was always super stiff and rarely seemed to look into the cells.

"Oh no, it must not be because of the scary business no, no, no that can't be it. Hmm," with much animation he put his hand to his chin, "I know what it is bud, you haven't found the right one you fancy then huh?" Xander knew it wasn't smart to make fun of a guard but for some reason the medication always made his emotions all crazy.

Shooting her a smile as he slid the cup of jelly beans to him he sighed. "Indian food, well I tell you nothing is closer to me then foods from around the world. You truly know the way to a man's heart Nance," as he was saying his remark he pocketed the jelly beans.
"Nance, you know a true magician never reveals his secrets! However, I guess with all of the kindness you show me I would have to tell you about my tricks sometime."Winking at her as he peered over his shoulder at the rest of the line. He could tell he was overstaying his welcome here.
"Well it is always a pleasure chatting it up with you, but I wouldn't want to enrage any of your other customers. I will be back here tomorrow...of course. I hope the rest of your day is grand Miss Nancy." As he began to walk away he gave a wave to Nancy. Why do I always have to meet decent woman in such terrible situations? Guess I am a magnet for ridiculous circumstances thinking to himself as he began walking down the hall to return to his room.
Ridiculous circumstances? That was an understatement for the predicament he was in. Over the months he had become lackadaisical locked up here. It must be because of the monotony of it all. Xander always did his best to mask his true fury and passion for those that had locked him up here with humor. However, one of these days he was bound to snap. You could say he was a ticking time bomb.

"Anything for you Nancy," and with an awkward look at the pills he let them ride down his throat to do whatever it was they were meant to do. Without missing a beat there was the terrible medicine taste he always had to deal with. Xander's face puckered up momentarily as he shook his head. "I swear if it wasn't you giving me these Meds Nancy I wouldn't know how to bear their god awful taste," He said with his body giving a final shiver.

The pills reminded him of the endless shots and medication the Army use to give to him. Those were the days huh? All medical issues taken care of on the armies dime! Well, that also brings up a bad point too, it was all of my medical issues taken care of on the armies dime Xander gave a quick smile at the thought of it. Propping his shoulder up on the counter he said to Nancy, "So Nancy, when are you gonna escape with me from this prison?," He looked back toward the obvious line that was forming and pointed his hand to the sky, "It is a once in a lifetime opportunity that I would hate for you to miss out on?"
