LUCAS

I exit the cab as i pay the driver. I had spent the previous night in a hotel, unsure where else to go as my only previous home was the scene of my crime.

I stand back as the cab drives off and i hold my notebook to my chest as i begin to walk up to the visitor entrance of the prison.

I stand back a little as i see all the familiar guards just walking about the building. I remind myself that I'm not a prisoner anymore- i have a right to visit someone just as much as the next person.

I lift my head as i stand in the short line of people waiting to get scanned and granted access to the meeting area.

I follow everyone else's leads as i place my small amount of belongings in the tray and watch as they pass through the X-ray machine. If i wasn't so painfully aware that i was at the prison i had only just been let go out of, i would have joked that i was at the airport.

A guard calls the next person forward and i step through the body scanner. It doesn't beep so i walk away from it and grab my things the other side.

Suddenly i get a tap on my arm.

I shoot around, prepared for anything, before i see who it is.

"Green" I say

He smiles, politely, as he gathers my jacket from the tray and hands it to me.

I get slightly taken back by him being so kind- of course he always was to me, he was the nicest out of any of the guards who still live, but him going out of his way to help me throws me.

"Here" He says as he hands the object to me.

I take it with a small smile, before he sees my notebook in the tray.

"Miss Lucas I'm sorry, but any forms of notes or anything that can have hidden messages inside cannot be taken into the visitation room" He says "I can put it into a locker for you"

He goes to take the object from the tray but i pick it up first.

"Lucas I'm sorry, but it's the rules" He says quietly

"You are not taking this" I say, sternly. "It's the only thing i own that means something to me, you cannot take it" I say as the panic in my voice creeps in.

Before a scene takes place, i feel someone's hand on my back.

"I'll take it from here, Green, thank you" A familiar voice says

I turn and see Pope

"Come with me" He says

_____________

We enter his office. As i sit down on the chair i have sat in before i start to feel uncomfortable and out of place. I shouldn't have come back, but i was doing this for Ink.

"Would you like a drink?" He offers. I look at him like he's crazy "I offer all my guests a drink" He finishes

"You haven't offered me one before" I say

He smiles "All non convicts i mean"

I  just look at him as i grow more and more weirded out by the situation "Umm, no thank you"

"Ok then, well we will get on with the issue at hand" He says

I hold the book closer

"You're not taking it-"

"You can keep it with you" He says "I will let you, just this once as i have seen just how ex convicts get possessive over their first actual belongings" He says
