Chapter 28

"George" the small reply left his lips. 

"That's an awesome name," Fives said, bringing a smile out of the boy who yawned. "Would you like to sleep against the wall?" Fives suggested the young boy nodded but then paused, "What are your names?" It was so polite it made Fives awe at the cuteness. 

"I'm Fives, this is Crosshair. They are our nicknames" George only nodded allowing Fives to tuck him in. Crosshair smiled from where he watched, he winced slightly. His throat was a bit sore from the latest attack from Mason.

Once Fives was sure George was asleep he turned to his partner who was leaning against the wall in pain. "Come on you, get some sleep. I will take first watch" Fives gestured to the bed. Crosshair climbed in beside the sleeping George, they decided to keep a close eye on their new cellmate and if it meant protecting the youngster with their own bodies so be it. Fives sighed taking a seat beside the bed, Crosshair offered a hand for Fives to hold which the arc trooper did out on instinct. It showed they were both there for each other. 

A few nights had passed, they had one goal. To escape this prison with a particular person but they would be taking George with them. Fives and George had bonded very well with each other, Crosshair was a bit more prickly on the outside but inside he was soft and squishy according to Fives description of him. George just laughed loving his new caretakers. Fox didn't mind the two watching him as long as they were careful especially when they went into the mess hall. 

Crosshair was always on alert as George clung to him. Fives made sure all eyes remained away from the two he had come to love. Even though Crosshair could protect himself, Fives made sure to do his best in protecting him first especially since the marksman was vulnerable when it came to showers. He wasn't your typical man down below if you know what I mean. The first time the two showered with the other prisoners, Fives had pressed up close to Crosshair to help him stay hidden from others. 

Some people called the two hot and others called Crosshair a bitch. The marksman didn't mind as long as no one found out his vulnerability. Hunter was one of the very few beside Fives and the rest of the batch that knew of Crosshairs different parts. 

George thankfully didn't have to shower with the older ones, Fox would take him to get bathed by a nurse. Crosshair had no clue to why a child was in the prison but he soon learned any prisoners who had children would prefer their kids were by their sides rather than raised by the legal system. So any child under the age of ten was put with their parents unless they were rapists or had done something very serious. Then they were taken care of by others, the children actually helped people get better but were under the guards watch the entire time for their safety. 

Crosshair and Fives were currently in the showers when the one they were going to break out said something that had Fives turning around and nearly walloping the man. Thankfully it was just them three in the showers.

"So not only is he a bitch but he has the female lower parts too, interesting" the voice made Crosshair jump in Five's arms. The arc trooper turned around quickly and glared at the man. 

"Hey! No harm done! I won't tell anyone, I swear! You must be the two they sent in to get me out?" The man said he had a birthmark across the side of his face and dark red hair. 

"What's your name?" Fives gritted out moving in front of the marksman who was getting his clothes back on. 

"Dareth Maul, but you can call me Maul. What's yours?" He said rolling his eyes.

"Fives" 

"And his?" Maul pointed at Crosshair who was passing the naked Fives some clothes. Fives nodded, taking them with a grim expression and putting the trousers on and top on quickly allowing him to hold Crosshairs hand.
