Birds' chirping wakes me up and I slowly open my eyes.
A blurred vision of Andrew appears in front of me and I smile as I see he was carrying a tray full of pancakes muffins and brioches.

"Good morning honey"
Ouch, even though I hate being called honey i appreciate the effort and I don't say anything.

"Hmm. I still didn't forgive you for what you've done"
He laughs sitting on the bed.
I giggle "but it does help." I finish the sentence and take a muffin covered with chocolate.

I get up and walk to the kitchen. After all, this house is not so bad. It's very big and has conditioner air.
If Andrew is good at something, it must be finding good houses in new cities in a very short length of time.
We had to move here for a new job the boss assigned to us. Andrew didn't have to accept the work since it was supposed to be our vacation time but instead he did and we had to relocate.
Let's at least hope it won't take a lot and it will be easier than the last time.

He pours over the booklets.
"I found some people you should pay attention to. I mean. The most dangerous boys who ha..."
I stop his saying and say with annoyed voice "I know. Do I have to remind you I do this job since 3 years already?"

"Okay okay. I'm sorry. Anyway I am your partner so I'll make sure those criminals don't play with my baby."
I smile lightly rolling my eyes.

"Yea although a lawyer shouldn't be always around a forense psychologist."
I state taking another muffin.

"Details." He laughs and so do I.

I walk to the bathroom to get ready and do my make up.
Andrew joins me a few of minutes later and start shaving his beard.
"The owner of the prison is my mom's ex husband. I wonder if he remembers me. They were together over 5 years ago."

"Oh. And did you like him?" I say putting jeans on and then putting on a white shirt with the gold necklace that Andrew gave me for my birthday.

"Kind of. He's funny. He was always telling jokes. Maybe too many for my mom."

I nod.
His mother is probably the worse mother in law in the whole universe.
I still remember the day when I met her the first time, the way she stared at me, not saying anything, checking every my movement.
But worse of the worse was when she privately told me that she knew I wasn't made for his son.

We arrive in front of the prison and Andrew takes my hand.
As soon as we walk in, a old plump boy walk towards us smiling.
Andrew whispers "Here he is. My mother's ex husband. He used to be skinny, huh"
I stifle a laugh as he reaches us.
"You must be Eleanor and Andrew. Wait, you're that Andrew! You've changed so much! How is your mother?" He demands smiling hugely.

I wonder how such a man so exuberant could ever date Andrew's mother.
Andrew smiles. "She's fine. Thanks for asking."

That smiling chubby man starts to talk again "I was waiting for you. Here's my office. If you need anything. And here are the booklets you'll need. Gabriel, hurry up, let them see where the visit room is and start calling detainees in alphabetical order."

Gabriel leads us to the visit room and we sit around a table.
"Nice to meet you. You'll have 12 detainees to work with. They are some of our most challenging inmate-patients that had problems working with other psychologist, who gave up the work. Others are new comers and hadn't been analyzed yet.
Anyway, you'll find every details on each on the booklet.
Now can I bring you two a coffee?"

Andrew stands up and says "thank you but I think I'll get it myself."

Gabriel nods and I start to browse on the first booklet.
The first patient's name is Chris Trey and he is been in prison for 5 years now. For carrying out drugs and for killing his ex girlfriend.
He sits on the chair in front of me.
"So?" He says scoffing.
I look up to him and he changes in concentration, which is a sign of cocaine abuse and then starts to look at me.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Eleanor and I'll be your psychologist since now on. I'll be watching your attitude towards me and towards the entire environment. After that, I'll value whenever or not you can get out here.
Do you have any questions to ask me?"
He scoffs.
"Nope." He gets up and walks away.
