Carl finished speaking and was staring at Cory in shock when he noticed the boy -wait boy or girl? he still didn't know- starting to tremble and then cry. It was such a feminine reaction and so heartfelt that he opened his mouth to tell her, he'd think of Cory as a she but he still wanted some more proof, that he believed her. Before he could say anything, she turned and sprinted towards the showers. Carl was stunned for a second and then ran after her.
"Cory! No! Wait! Come back!" he yelled and pushed opened the door to the the drab shower area and followed her in. She was there, cornered now and crying near one of the walls as he entered. She looked like a trapped animal, nervous, wounded and afraid. He approached her slowly, worried about spooking her and suddenly just focused on trying to calm her down. If what she said was even partially true, and that stuff about the warden, wow, she had every right to be on the verge of collapse and he needed to let her know she could trust him.
Hands up, he walked towards her slowly, saying her name softly. Finally he reached out and touched her shoulder, giving her a gentle and hopefully reassuring squeeze.
"Cory, I'm sorry, but what you said is just so shocking... it's hard to believe, that's all," he said, trying to smile reassuringly. "I-i... want to believe you. And if it's true it sounds like the most horrible thing ever. Especially what the warden... did. If he did what I think he did. I-i.. I'm sorry. I really am. You can trust me... but can you prove it? Can you prove you are a girl?" He said the last without thinking, and then blushed as he realized the insinuation he had just made. Proof would require her showing him something physical. And anything that would qualify would be something she'd be loathe to reveal. "I mean... do you have a bra on or something.. I'm sorry, but I just want to make sure you aren't messing with me..."

In the bunkhouse in the first bed by the door on the top bunk, a lump of sheets stirred slightly. A set of crazy eyes with back long hair partially covering them and slipped out from under the sheet. A grinning face followed as Jacko softly chuckled to himself at what he had just overheard. Oh boy. A girl in their bunkhouse. This information was very valuable. Both for himself and to the right people in the jail. Jacko was looking forward to what he might be able to do with it. Hehe.
