The setting sun filtered through the rusted bars of the Cruz del Sur penitentiary, painting the crowded yard orange. The murmur of voices and low laughter ceased when you entered—every gaze turned, hungry, sizing up the new piece of meat.

'What are you looking at?'—her voice, a whisper that cut through the air, made the entire yard hold its breath.
