HUBBLE
What do you mean, lifers ?
As Reacher climbs back up on his bunk, casually lies down.
REACHER
Mean people who were sentenced to life. If I were you, I’d be less worried about their sentences and more concerned with their swaps.
HUBBLE
Swaps?
REACHER Guys swapping smokes, desserts, tv time, all for first crack at you. You’re not a human in here. You’re currency. So stop pacing and save your strength; gonna need it. Hubble’s shitting little green apples. ON CUE:

VOICE (V.O.)
There she is. * Reveal: 4 LARGE BLACK GANGBANGERS in the doorway. The leader, * JD (30, tank top, round belly) takes in Hubble. * JD * She’s pretty too. Pretty hair. * Pretty mouth. Look, she even got * pretty little shoes on. * The others laugh a bit. JD points to Hubble’s shoes. * JD * (CONT'D) Hey, why you wearin’ my shoes? * Gimme my shoes back to me. * Hubble hesitates. Not sure what to do. Terrified. * JD * (CONT'D) C’mon now, you heard me. Gimme my * shoes like a good little bitch. * Hubble has no choice. He slowly undoes his shoes, steps to * JD, hands him his shoes. *
