- Bruiser tells Robbie to take off when some prisoners and Tombstone come up behind them
- Bruiser makes short order of them, and as he's being hauled off to solitary, makes sure to tell Tombstone that he knows he won't dare touch Robbie while he's gone because even he needs to follow the rules
- Fortunately, when Bruiser called Robbie his special friend, that didn't mean what I initially thought
