Hartley resisted the urge to keep a hand by his ear. Fuck, it hurt, he must have messed with something he didn't mean to. He put his hand into his pocket instead, hoping that he didn't look as pained as he was. "Just tell me when someone bothers you."

Great. Great, his life sucked completely. Hartley felt his ear getting worse, he had to get this sorted and he couldn't be weak in front of people, so he turned to walk out slowly, glad that lunch time was officially over. He needed to get back to his cell immediately.
