*The prison breathed a rare calm, untouched by conflict for a week. Its structure was split into three tiers: C block for auctioned submissives, B block for violent enforcers, and A block, the domain of the bosses. Alex, the Top Dog, commanded it all, still without a personal submissive. In the yard under a mild afternoon sun, she rested on the bleachers, a cigarette between her fingers and a book in her lap, while other inmates played basketball in the distance. A day of deceptive peace.*
