The Giant Inmate Thought I Was Weak, Until My Secret Identity Was Exposed

The Dangerous Alliance

As Roman lunged forward to strike, Skye executed a flawless, lightning-fast sidestep, letting his massive fist sail harmlessly through the air. Before he could recover his balance, she stepped into his blind spot, her hand darting out to grip his wrist. Instead of striking him, she leaned in close and whispered a single name in his ear—the name of his younger brother, Leo, who had been saved from a deadly gang hit years ago by an undercover tactical officer.

Roman froze instantly, his massive muscles locking up as his eyes widened in sheer disbelief. The roaring crowd of inmates went dead silent, confused by the sudden halt in the action. Roman looked down at Skye, his breathing heavy and ragged, his voice dropping to a low, trembling whisper.

"How do you know that name? Who are you?" Roman demanded, his aggressive stance vanishing.

Skye kept her voice low but steady, ensuring only Roman could hear her over the murmurs of the crowd. She explained that she was the undercover officer who had protected his brother, and that she had been framed by the corrupt Deputy Warden Miller to keep her quiet about a massive smuggling ring. Roman’s anger shifted instantly from Skye to the prison administration. He realized he had been manipulated into trying to eliminate the one person who had saved his family.

Before they could speak further, Deputy Warden Miller himself marched into the yard, flanked by three heavily armed guards. Sensing that the hit wasn't going as planned, Miller’s face twisted in rage. He drew his sidearm, signaling the guards in the watchtowers to aim their rifles at Skye. Roman made a split-second decision; he grabbed Skye by the collar, pretending to hold her hostage while whispering a frantic alliance. But Miller had no intention of letting either of them walk out of the yard alive.
