**3** part II

The next morning was the beginning of her third day in there. it was also the wednesday that lisa had hoped for- for so long, since Diana had been helping out in the kitchen, Lisa quickly changed plans to use Diana as a key player in their escape. Nadya during the day went about her usual routine as always: scrubing showers, as well as lisa sweeping the long hallways. It all broke down in the kitchen when the truck began to unload and stack merchandise, ready to be put away in the reffrigerator walk-in.
When the driver asked for a signature from the person in charge the guard walked up to him ready to pick up the pen. Diana intentionally had stayed behind washing and fixing up- around that area to "accidentally" trip over and fall over the many cartons of milk that would last them for the next week. As she did that, it would buy some time for sure on the outside, with Lisa and Nadya crawling themselves over the large packets of meat and vegetables behind the truck, space was the issue at hand once inside. They had to hide behind all the boxes, way in the back, under the frosty air vent system. Kept quiet and motionless, waiting for the outcome.
Diana couldn't act innocent, because she didn't have te capacity of looking "not guilty", instead using her mechanism of defense chosed to act scared, as all of that milk was all over the floor spilled because of her fault. The guard began barking orders to be cleaned immediately, with Diana on the floor on her knees, a small smile was stretching on the side of her ear, making sure nobody else could see it, but her.
The driver went back to the truck and pulled the curtain, the cold darkness embraced Lisa and Nadya, it was at that moment when they began to worry - How long will they take to get out of there? they had not thought about that up until now. Hair quickly became braids of ice, lips full of blisters. The mind slowly shuting off. Anxiety invaded their frozen senses as the truck drove out of the facility.
When the guard figured out there was two inmates missing, it all came back to Diana, the guard knew Diana had something to do with it, and instead of beating her down for some answers, her punishment for not cooperating was getting to 'do' Nadya's and Lisa's duties together with her own, for the next two months, day in-day out, Diana found herself scrubing showers, washing dishes and sweeping the halls everyday for what she had done. That guard didn't get her on her first day, but she knew, she would soon have her eating from the palm of her hand ... she got her. Paulo.
