After Deanna was transferred to the hospital, the tension on the housing unit was so thick, one could cut it with a knife. Joe was still refusing to go to his cell.....

"Anoa'i....please....I'm gonna need for you to lock up in your cell." Officer Jax said again calmly.

"And I just told you that I'm not locking the fuck up!!!!You know the only reason I haven't hit you already, is for two reasons. One you're my cousin and two you're a Samoan woman." Joe said matter of factly as he said as he sat shirtless on the housing unit table with officers surrounding him, not budging.

"You see that?!! You see that?! Nobody ever holds him accountable for shit!!! He does whatever the hell he wants to do!!!! He's a fucking inmate!!!" Rhodes yelled out pointing at Joe.

"And you still running your fucking mouth!!!! You just don't know when to shut the fuck up do ya? I'm here for the rest of my muthafuckin life!! I ain't got shit to lose!!!! Do you really think I care about getting extra time or another charge for killing your ass?! Do you think one more body is gonna make a difference to me?! Huh?!!!! I said what the fuck I said, if I lose Deanna, I'ma kill you and I'm gonna have your family killed!!! Joe snapped.

"Look at this lowlife!!! He's openly threatening me!!!" Rhodes shot back.

"Muthafucka! I don't make threats, I make guarantees and your death is guaranteed if Deanna dies or crippled!!" Joe snapped pointing at Rhodes.

"Ok enough with the threats. Anoa'i, are you refusing to lock up?" Officer Bazler asked, calmly as she tried to defuse the situation by redirecting him.

"What the hell you think?!" Joe snapped.

At that moment, Warden Heyman spoke up as Assistant Warden Pearce and Dwayne entered the housing unit.....

"M-Mr Anoa'i, I understand that you are upset, but I need you to please comply with the officer's request, so we can get this situation resolved properly." Warden Heyman said, as he gave Joe a look like "we're gonna handle this, just be cool for now".

"This asshole hurt Deanna!!! Sweet, beautiful innocent Deanna!!!! Why is he not being punished?!!" Joe yelled, his eyes starting to water again.

"You have my word, this will get resolved." Warden Heyman said.

After a few more moments of silence, Joe got off the table and grabbed his shirt and made his way to his cell, but not before he made one more final threat......

"I meant what I said....if she dies Rhodes, you are a dead man." Joe stated as he walked to his cell and locked up.

After Joe went into cell, Officer Rhodes spoke again....

"This is such bullshit!!!! He gets to do whatever the hell he wants with no repercussions!" Officer Rhodes ranted.

At that moment, an irritated Warden Heyman addressed Officer Rhodes....

"Here's my question for you, Officer, explain to me why you went on the unit alone with no back up...explain that. Especially when you know it's against protocol!" He snapped.

"You went on the unit by yourself without back up?" Assistant Warden Pearce asked.

"I had to!" Rhodes said, irritated.

"For what?! What excuse do you have for going on a maximum security housing unit by yourself without another officer backing you up?" Warden Heyman argued.

"Inmate Anoa'i was abusing Inmate Carter, and I had to intervene!"

"That's bullshit Uce!!! He would never abuse her!!! He in love with that girl!!!" Josh yelled out.

"AND THATS WHY IM GONE KILL HIS ASS IF SHE DIE!!! DEANNA MEANS THE WORLD TO ME!!!!LYING MUTHAFUCKA!!!!! IM GOING TO BURN DOWN YOUR HOUSE AND KILL TWO GENERATIONS OF YOUR PIECE OF SHIT FAMILY!!!" Joe roared as he ferociously beat and kicked his cell door.

"Big Uce don't abuse women, but he'll abuse that two bit slut you call a mother!!!" Jon yelled out, causing the whole housing unit to laugh.

"I can't believe you're allowing him to threaten me like this!" Rhodes shot back.

"And we can't believe you're such a whiny ass douchebag who hits women!" Seth yelled out.

"Yeah so quit crying bitch!" Damian yelled out.

"Fake ass rent a cop!!" Dominik yelled out.

"Man that's why I'm glad I locked up, I just knew it was gonna be some bullshit kicked off!" Big E called out.

"Aww E, shut yo big scary ass up!" Montez yelled out, causing the unit to laugh.

"Man fuck you Tez. I gotta chance to get parole and if it means I'm scared so I don't catch another charge. Then I'm scary as hell. Yes!!" E called out.

"Mannn...you'd be scared even if you wasn't getting parole, so just knock it off Uce!" Josh called out.

"Hey I ain't scared! I just stay out the way of bullshit! Don't hate!" Big E called out.

"Whatever! Sure you're not scared, the same way when you saw that mouse in the hallway, your big ass screamed like a bloody little girl, saying Rhea please kill it!!!" Rhea yelled out, causing the entire unit to erupt in laughter.

"Dang Rhea, you promised you'd keep that on the hush!" Big E said.

"I lied mate!" Rhea said, as the unit continued to laugh.

"Officer Rhodes, report to administration after you finish the incident report! Officers Bazler and Jax, I want you to finish the shift on this unit! I swear I need a drink!!!" Warden Heyman stated as he, Pearce and Johnson left the unit.

After the administration left the unit, the unit was so quiet, one could hear a pin drop. Officer Rhodes was went back to the control room and began his paperwork. Joe stood at his door and stared up at the control room with so much hatred in his eyes, that if looks could kill, Rhodes would be dead. At that moment, he decided that it didn't matter if Deanna recovered or not, he wouldn't rest until he exacted his revenge on him.

As the Officers Bazler and Jax surveyed the unit, they also took notice of the deafening silence...

"Damn it's really quiet, it's never this quiet even on the graveyard shift." Officer Jax observed.

"That it is, it's so quiet that you could hear a mouse piss on some cotton." Officer Bazler said.

"THERES A MOUSE PISSING ON COTTON?!!! WHERE?!!! ARGGHHHH!!!! HELLLPPP!!!!" Big E screamed, causing the unit to erupt in hysterical laughter.
