With a quick and precise movement he caught his opponent’s arm.
He took advantage of Vanessa’s momentum and turned his body with impeccable technique.
A moment later, the most feared woman in prison was suspended in the air.
A murmur of wonder went through the dining room.
The second next, Vanessa fell heavily on her back to the ground, causing a boom that made the whole room tremble.
The young woman stood next to her.
He didn’t even seem to have made any effort.
He breathed with absolute normalcy.
His face showed no hatred.
No fear either.
Just a puzzling calm.
Vanessa tried to get up to return to the attack.
But just a few seconds later he finished again on the ground.
At that moment they all understood the truth.
That woman was not a simple inmate capable of defending herself.
He was someone with professional training.
Finally, Vanessa stopped fighting to stand up.
Breathing hard, he looked up at the stranger as if he were seeing her for the first time.
“Who are you?” she asked in a choppy voice.
The young woman watched her from above without altering her expression.
Someone you should never have faced.
At that very moment, the whole prison understood that a new intern had just arrived.
And, for the first time in many years, fear had changed ownership.
