"I meant, I suppose.. he would never hurt someone he cares about." I open Carl's dossier and quickly read it.
He didn't even mention me either. Ian probably asked him not to. My heart jumps and skips a beat reading the conversation recorded with Ian, when they thought they weren't heard.
Carl: You sure?
Ian: I am
Carl: You're loosing her. You two could have a family or grow older together.
Ian: We're in real life, Carl. We don't belong together. We're two different.
My eyes fill with tears.
"Are you alright?" Andrew demands and I nod.
"We're going to be late at work. If that Ian scares you so much I can talk to him."
"NO!" I say aloud and he looks at me confused.
Oh god, what happens to me? It has been years and he still has such a huge impact on me.
"You've so much work to do and you know, I like to do things on my own."
He buys it and nods smiling.

We arrive to the prison and the director walks me to an office where I can speak with prisoners.
"Which ones do you want to meet first?"
"Eddy, Louis, Richard and Carl."
The names of the ones that have a closer relationship with Ian.
Eddy has the classic fuckboy attitude, he's good looking with green eyes and a sharp jaw. I bet he must have broken so many hearts.
He enters in the room and he smiles as he look at my  off-shoulder neckline.
"I bet you were the popular girl at high school, weren't you?"
"Maybe"
He smiles sitting with his legs open, he leans forward me.
"So, you were charged with drug dealing and rape. It's weird 'cause raping is such a grave accusation especially if it's added to manipulation."
He nods like if he knew the accusations by heart.
"So what?" He asks when I finish my sentence.
"I wonder how a 'normal' drug dealer could go from dealing drugs to raping & mental manipulating. Let me explain my point, in years of working I learned that drugs dealers generally have accusations limited to the world of drugs, they don't generally go from dealing to murdering or taking advantage of people, so I reflect and come to the conclusion that your accusation of raping may be fake or you have done way more that what you have been charged of."
He claps his hands and smiles.
"Do you work as cop or as shrink?"
"Do you like staying here?" I ask
"You mean, in prison?"
"Yes"
"What a silly question. Of course I don't. But everyone has it's own prison right, brainy?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, your prison is probably staying with your husband who you don't even like just for some shitty reason I haven't found out yet" he says and points Andrew.
"Stop pointing." I whisper and continue my saying "I love him. However, would you like to get out the prison and be free?"
"I did once. Now I don't anymore."
"Why not?" I demand writing down some notes.
"Because, dear smarty girl, spoiler alert, I have no fucking one who waits for me at home."
"You think they forgot you?"
"I lost everyone I had, my girlfriend and my mom gave up on me years ago. The only ones I have right now are the boys in the prison."
"So you like to stay in because of your friends here?"
"Don't be jealous, now that you are here I have one more reason."  I stifle a laugh.
Andrew approaches me and kisses my ear so I bow my head to the side.
"How's it going?" Andrew asks.
"Good. She was telling me how boring you are." I open my eyes as I hear Eddy answering him.
Andrew laughs lightly "He's funny."
The director approaches us "Eleanor, excuse me, Lous and Richard are having a visitor right now."
"It's fine I'll continue with.... "
"Carl right now doesn't want to talk with anyone but Ian Gallagher is available"
I nod "call him."
I feel my stomach starting to burn and the fact that Andrew was still standing near me was driving me crazy.
"Thanks for meeting me Eddy. We'll stay in touch." I say and he smiles and winks.
"I hope Ian is not as 'funny' as him." Andrew whispers to me but Eddy hears him and quickly whispers back "I guarantee you, Ian is way more. You'll see." He winks again and walks away.

Ian sits in front of me and smiles lightly.
He was so hot. I can feel every inch of my body vibrating and I can't even stand looking at him right in the eyes.
Andrew sat near me.
"Have you finished your work? It's okay here." I whisper to Andrew.
"I can stay a little bit more, I am on a break."
I nod.
"So.. Hi.." I say.
How dumb am I? I sound like a 13 years old teenage.
I manage to get my shit together and speak aloud "Eddy, the guy I met before, said that he had friends inside the prison. Are you one of them?" I demand forcing myself to look at him in the eyes.
"Yea. We are."
I nod.
"Do you like swap girls?" Andrew says and laughs.
What is wrong with him?
"No we don't. If you haven't noticed yet there are no girls here." Ian doesn't even look at him but keeps staring at me.
I smile at him and Ian smiles back.
My heart starts to run again and I have to look down at the dossier to avoid my heart going crazy.
"However, Ed and I are very close, yea"
"Do you have someone that waits for you once you're out?" I ask
"A girlfriend" he answers and I automatically stare at him.
"Honey, i'll go." I nod as Andrew finally walks away.
"Just kidding." Ian says smiling.
"Not like I care. I am just doing my job. So do you have someone or not?"
"I don't."
"Your family..?"
"No one El, I have a talent in staving off people that love me."
"What do you mean?" I ask
"You know what I mean." He whispers.
"I don't. Do you have familiar problems, you'd like to speak about?"
"No thanks. You can look at me, it's not like I am going to bite."
"Look Ian, I don't know what game you are playing but you treated me like shit this morning so I am gonna to do my job as if it's not hard enough without you teasing me all the time."
"Okay"
"I thought I changed you." I whisper
"Or maybe I changed you."
"I don't think you changed me. You were the one that used to date a girl per night until you met me."
"Here is the Eleanor I knew."
"The Eleanor you once cared about."
"I still do."
"So besides Eddy, who are you close to here?" I ask
"Richard and Louis. I knew them years ago."
"Do you all have common interests?"
"Drugs"
I smile rolling my eyes.
"They were in my first crew, I trust them and They trust me. We're like family."
"Alright.. thanks for your patience and for accepting to meet me."
I say and he gets up, gently leans forward and whispers to my ear "You're the only one person I ever cared about so don't even try to doubt that again."
