The Loner: Seven Days to Die
“The Kid turned, looked out through the window, and saw the guard named Smithson coming toward him. Smithson had some sort of bundle in his arms.
He didn’t unlock the door, shoving the bundle between the bars instead. It was a tight fit.
“Take your clothes off and put these on,” Smithson told The Kid. “Then pass your clothes back out through the window. Boots, too.”
“Is this necessary?”
“It’s the rule. You’ll learn pretty quick that things go easier around here if you follow the rules, Bledsoe.”...
The Kid picked up the bundle. He saw that it was a pair of gray wool trousers and a gray wool shirt wrapped around a pair of shoes, along with some rough underwear and socks.
Smithson pushed something else between the bars. It fell to the cell floor and landed with a clang of metal.
“When you’ve got the new duds on, snap those leg irons on your ankles,” Smithson said.
“And if I don’t?”
“Then you don’t set foot outside your cell. Nobody does without the leg irons on.”MoreLess
