CORALIE KEPT a close watch on Mischa Barton for the remainder of the day. From time to time she would peer into Mischa's cell in solitary through the hatch. From what she could tell, and from all other reports she'd received, Mischa Barton had done nothing but moan and sob and babble incoherently on the floor of the cell.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oPjLabXrH
After the shift change at 8:00 p.m., Coralie had Mischa transferred. There was just no way Coralie could stage a suicide in solitary. There was no way to kill yourself in there. The suicides, when they happened, almost always took place in a regular prison cell or the infirmary. And there was no way Coralie could justify putting a prisoner who had just suddenly attacked a guard in a standard cell.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdadE305sF
Thus the infirmary was the only option. When the guards came for Mischa, she was as limp as a wet rag. It took four guards, each taking a limb, to carry her out. It was as if she'd just had a lobotomy.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp0KlfCkdu
From G-2, the guard booth just outside the infirmary, Coralie watched on the security camera as the guards placed Mischa in the secured room. They put her in the first bed on the right, nearest the security camera---standard regulation, always filling the beds from left to right. One of a thousand regulations in this place.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfveZ4XqOiB
The guards watched Mischa for a moment. She seemed to be borderline catatonic, devoid of any life, any at all. Then they left, locking the door behind them.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bG23bsAB7
Mischa was all alone in that secured room, staring up near the ceiling, her aimless gaze somewhere between the clock and the security camera. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLjXlNCl6o
Coralie checked her watch. It was 9:42 p.m.. She took a breath to calm her nerves. And she waited.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUc8xJfsiq

As the warden said, they couldn't just shut off the security camera five minutes before attacking Mischa. There had to be a record of problems with it tonight.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtYdNuRKXn

It was probably about time now. They weren't going to pull this off until a bit before the shift change at 2:00 a.m., so now would be a good time to start with the "camera trouble."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazyo1ZNx8o
At 11:06 p.m., Coralie shut off the security camera. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctLodAfffJ
