I fought the law and the, law won
I fought the law and the, law won
I needed some satis-faction
I fought the law and the, law won
I fought the law and the, law won
Around the baby it felt so bad,
I'd had enough of Fern,
She gave me a real ton of crap
I fought the law and the, law won
I fought the law and the, law won.
She's robbed people of their, rations
She fought the law and the, law won
She fought the law and the, law won
She missed her baby and she, missed fun
She fought the law and the, law won
She fought the law and the, law won
Around the baby it felt so bad,
I'd had enough of Fern,
She gave me a real ton of crap
I fought the law and the, law won
I fought the law and the, law won.
In adjacent cells, with a typical barred door, Kate and Fern have been incarcerated. Fern has spent most of her incarceration so far sobbing loudly, but it hasn't got her any more than the bread and water Kate got.
There is one guard, who looks tired, and is sitting down the end of the corridor with a newspaper. There is a barred window in each cell, a non-lit fireplace near the guard, and a large barred window at the other end of the corridor.

"Oh, gracious, no. Don't let us stop you. It's a happy occasion."
Her face grows a little warm.
"However, perhaps Tommy an' I should find our way out first."
Re: Breakout
Date: 2012-08-30 09:16 pm (UTC)"Will, I'm going to drop you if you're not careful." Carlotta says, depositing him outside her caravan.
"Go warm up the bed, I'll be back in a minute."
She beckons Kate and Tommy to come to the store caravan, where she'd held the bar portal open with a rock.

Hope everything works out for you -- the both of you. Also," he adds, lowering his voice a little, "try not to depend on-- y'know, the stuff too much, know what I mean? I've done it. And it ain't worth it. There's better ways to cope." He gives a small but knowing motion with his head toward Carlotta, and after clapping Will on the shoulder, he rejoins the women.

Carlotta gives Kate a hug before she goes back through.
"We'll work things out, I'll see you soon. Tommy, thanks for your help too."
Re: Breakout
Date: 2012-09-02 05:15 pm (UTC)"I've full faith that y'will. Jus' call on me if there's anythin' I can do t'help. I promise I'll stay outta jail next time."
Her lips twist.
"Thank you for everythin'. I had a real good time."
She means it, too. She got to dress up, see a dear friend wed, go dancing, and get in a fight. Granted, Fern wasn't a very engaging opponent, but she'll take what she can get. She's leaving pretty happy about things.
"Oh! My hat."
Re: Breakout
Date: 2012-09-03 12:50 am (UTC)Stepping back as Kate says her goodbyes, they're about to open the door when she stops.
"Oh, right, I left it with Will, so it must be in Carlotta's caravan." His expression falls a bit. "...And hopefully not the caravan with the dog in it."
A beat, as he eyes Kate.
"I'm sure it's in Carlotta's caravan."
Re: Breakout
Date: 2012-09-03 05:33 pm (UTC)It's a parrot. And it appears to be wearing Kate's hat.
She grins, climbs up, and yoinks the hat.
"Squark! Stop starin' at my breasts!" The parrot declares, the last part in something of an American accent.
Re: Breakout
Date: 2012-09-03 11:08 pm (UTC)What is her life?
Now a fine shade of strawberry, Kate gingerly takes the hat from Carlotta, clears her throat, and glances at Tommy from the corner of her eye.
"Y'know, I've never been to a circus before tonight."
She pauses.
And turns to the door.
No need to prolong the devastatingly awkward.
Re: Breakout
Date: 2012-09-03 11:17 pm (UTC)He turns to Carlotta one last time.
"Maybe-- maybe there's a way to, uh, like, unteach the parrot to say that? Or something? Uh. Okay. We're just gonna-- go. It was a really, really nice ceremony, and we had a great time, and-- well, apart from the whole-- yeah. Okay. Going now. We'll see ya!"
And he follows Kate through the door.
Re: Breakout
Date: 2012-09-04 09:31 pm (UTC)She feels kind of bad now, doesn't look like Kate had that good a time overall. Better get her some front seat tickets for the show next time.
