My Past Our Future

Chapter 8

Shout out to @Newsies4ever for giving me the idea for this chapter. You guys might slightly hate me for this chapter... but not as much as you might for the next... *evil laugh*

It was about 6:30 when they reached the prison, it was tall and every window was lined with bars. Spencer had told her it was 10 stories tall with 5 stories under ground all filed with criminals. Just the sight of it made Katherine's skin crawl, maybe she should have taken Spencer's offer... no! She needed to focus.

"Officer Spencer good to see you!" A bald man with a big smile called to them as they entered in the door.

"Heya Reggie how you been?" He asked the man shaking his hand.

"It's been great! What can I do for you and this lovely young lady?" The man named Reggie asked, he wore a identical shirt to Spencer's only it was brown instead of white.

"She's, er... we're here to see a prisoner." Spencer told the cop.

"Which one?"

"Jack Kelly." Spencer said stiffly, Katherine's eyes widened she had no clue Jack had been named after his father.

There was another thing he failed to mention.

"Level 5, hallway 8, cell 13." Reggie said from memory. "Would you like me to escort you two? This can be a confusing place."

"Nah, I know my way around a prison." Spencer told him.

"Of course you do, your one of the best. Good to see ya Ryan." Reggie said heading off down the hall with a wave of his hand. Spencer waved back and he took Katherine's hand again and lead her to a set of stairs.

"You know him?" She asked.

"Yea, we were partners when I was a rookie, he's a good guy." Spencer said off handedly. She nodded and followed behind him up the stairs never letting go of his hand. It seemed to be warming up from the heat of her hand and she was strangely happy about that. She tried to gulp down her unease as they passed three or four flights of stairs. What would she ask Jacks father? What if she forgot all the questions she wanted to ask him? What was she gonna say to the man? 'Oh hi I'm your sons girlfriend here to ask you a few questions about a girl you knocked up 20 years ago' Yea, it sounded even stupider in her head. She was so wrapped up in her own head she didn't notice Spencer's unease until he stopped her on level 5.

"Katherine." He said turning to face her. "I hate to make you do this by yourself but I don't know if I can face that man." He looked terrified and Katherine's heart melted a little bit. The first time she'd meat him she'd thought he was a jerk, but the more she got to know him the more she realized Spencer was a gentile giant. She kept her eyes on his and did something she would regret later. She reached up and pulled his face to hers and kissed him, he seemed surprised but he kissed her back immediately and she felt her heart flutter. Soon she was softly pressed against a wall and was trapped between the wall and his body. Why did she do that? She needed reassurance, she needed to know everything was gonna be okay. Spencer seemed to savior every time there lips came together like it would be the last time (she wondered if it would be, it probably should be but...) he was softer with her than he had been this morning, almost like he was afraid if he pushed to hard she would push him away. She should have pushed him away, but she couldn't, she wanted to kiss him just as bad as he wanted to kiss her. Maybe she was being a hypocrite but she really didn't care at this point. Finally, she pushed him away reluctantly.

"What was that for?" He asked holding her face in his hands.

"S-sorry, I shouldn't have done that. It's not right." She said pushing him away.
