"Onyx Davenport" said a red haired lady. "Mr. Truman will see you now". I got up and followed her down a narrow hallway. This was the first meeting with my new probation officer. As i walked through the door I could see him sitting behind a big desk. I could tell just by looking at him that this was not going to go well. " Have a seat Mr. Davenport" he said in an arrogant tone. "Onyx, please" i said taking my seat. We both sat there in silence for a couple moments as he looked me up and down. What the hell is his problem i was thinking to myself.
Finally he spoke up. " Well lets cut to the chase shall we" he said leaning back in his chair. " I don't like people like you, people who break the law and expect tax paying citizans to welcome you with open arms, once a criminal always a criminal" he said shifting in his seat. I bit my tongue, instantly getting mad. " Well with all due respect sir, the last time I checked I was a tax paying citizan" i said trying not to punch his pasty ass in the face. " Are you getting smart with me boy?" he said in a raised voice. I could see he was getting agitated " I was simply stating a fact, it was you who made an assumption about me" I said getting annoyed at this point. Who does this muthafucka think he is, sitting over there like he's better than everyone.
"That's the problem with you young folks, you have no damn respect". he said moving to the edge of his seat. " Ill be watching you. When you screw up and i know you will, ill be there to nail your ass to the wall. Is that clear" he asked. "Crystal clear." I said. We concluded the rest of our meeting and made an appointment to meet next week. "Are we done here" I said with an attitude. "We are, you may go". I immediatly got up and headed straight for the door. "Oh and dont forget what i said, ill be watching. I have eyes everywhere"he said. Ugh im so tired of this shit. I've done my time, so why does it feel like im still on trial.
Ring.. Ring..
"Hey cousin, Its Slone. Where you at"
Shit, I forgot she was coming up here this weeked. I am so not prepared for this. "Hey kid, whats good" I said trying to change the subject. "We're at Union station, and have been for thirty minutes now. Please tell me you didnt forget" she said in a disappointed tone. " Nah cuz, i didnt forget" I lied. "I just had some stuff to take care of first thats all, ill be there in a couple" i said heading to my car. " Ok we'll see you then".
"Wait, We?" i asked confused.
"Dude, you did forget, I told you its Deia's birthday". she said getting annoyed
"Oh yeah, your little friend. Ok thats cool, im leaving now. But this is my weekend with Mia so she's going to be with us.
"That's fine, I haven't seen her in forever anyway" she said
"Ok, well why don't y'all meet me at McDonalds across the street" i said.
" Alright, see you in a bit" she said hanging up the phone.
Lord help me, This is going to be a long weekend.
