[Ronnie’s POV]
Today I’m told I leave Isolation.
Right now I was just staring at the ceiling, wondering where Meredith was, when suddenly the door opened and there were two CO’s there.
“Let’s go, Radke. Bus is almost here,” one said.
“Bus?” I asked.
“You’re being transferred to another prison,” he said.
“What?! Nobody told me this!!” I said. “Where’s Gonzalez? She should tell me.”
“Gonzalez is on medical leave, resting in the hospital. Her boyfriend found her passed out at home,” another said.
I froze as they then came up to me and then when I freaked and pushed them off.
“Get away from me!” I said, and then they pinned me down, and I struggled as more CO’s jumped on top of me.
“MEREDITH!!! MEREDITH!!!” I shouted as I then felt a pinch in my neck and it all went black.

I groaned as I woke up and felt like I couldn’t move. I was sitting in some room and tried to move, but I couldn’t.
I looked and realized…. Oh no….
The Restraining Chair.
I started to panic and thrashed in the chair, but couldn’t as the warden was suddenly in front of me.
“Quite a fight you put, Mr. Radke,” he said.
“Let me out of here, please,” I said, feeling my heart pound.
“Not until you are completely calm and cooperate with this transfer. I’m sorry, but there are some budget cuts that must be taken, and with more inmates coming, we’re running out of room,” he said.
“Gonzalez… she..” I said.
“She will be assigned a new inmate when she returns from medical leave, depending on her condition,” he said.
“No, please, please, at least let me out of the chair,” I said, feeling tears in my eyes as I tried to move my head. “I-I can’t breathe... I c-can't breathe..... Please.... P-Please, I-I'm begging you, a-at least let me talk to my dad.....”
He motioned to someone and then I felt something on my neck and I started getting woozy.
“You will rest what you can in the bus…” he said as it went blurry then black, my last thought being:
“Meredith…. I love you…”
