Damian Ducan: A Autobiography of a Victim Turned Villain

Session 2. Part 2.

Kent and Price fall out of the viewing room, leaving the enraged inmate to himself.

Kent: "WHAT THE HELL? What did you do, Price?"

Price: "All I did was ask him about the rhyme he was singing early."

Kent, with exasperation: "That's Bull[...]"

Casey, along with two others were standing close by. It was George and Sara. Mr. Ducan was still screaming, and banging on the table.

Casey: "Is he ok? Was never like that."

Price: "That's be-"

Kent, interjecting: "That's because of this Dip[...]."

George: "Hey, Kent there's no need for that language."

Kent: "But this idiot, right here, just triggered the criminal into a violent rage?"

Price: "I didn't trigger him, exactly."

Kent spun around at this and glowered at me. But my focus was elsewhere.

Price: "Sara? Are you alright?"

Everyone turned toward her, and she looked back, dazed.

Sara: "Oh me? Yes, I'm fine." she looked over at the window.

Casey: "Is it about this morning? Don't worry about what Ducan was saying, he's a goner. See?"

Sara looked down, and we twiddled her thumbs. She then turned to me.

Sara: "Price, what do you think of Mr. Ducan's song?"

Kent blew up about this

Kent: "Not this damn song again. He's just faking it! I already told you guys."

Price: "He's not entirely though, Officer Kent."

Everyone looked at me, as I watched Sara.

Casey: "What do you mean?"

Price: "I mean, he's not faking, being unstable." I turned to Kent

Kent laughs.

Kent: "Haha, now that's funny, Price. I feel like I was saying that all along."

Price: "You don't understand. I think that Damian doesn't even know that he is."

Silence

George: "What do you mean by that?"

Kent: "Yes Price, Give us more cock and bull, so we can all get killed."

Casey shot Officer Kent a dirty look.

Price: "What I'm saying is that he may have a reason why he acts like a perfectly fine person, then a raging teenager the next."

Kent: "What are you saying? What are two people? Now that-"

Sara, interrupting: "Shh. Hey, do you guys hear that?"

Everyone goes quiet besides Officer Kent

Kent: "Hear what? This Fools Damn Nutcase theory? There's nothing else."

Price: "Exactly.. There's nothing."

Officer Kent's face fell

Note: This is a turning point in Mr. Ducan's story. While we were all arguing with each other, we had failed to notice the sudden peace in Damian Ducan's holding cell.
