Behind Bars

pregnancy walk

Alora's POV

It's been a few days now since I started at blackworth. I haven't been able to see any inmates as of yet. I have just been trying to get settled into my office sorting out files. Most of the guards don't talk to me but there are a few others that do say hi, Chevy and I get along really well, She has been really nice showing me the ropes, feeding me inside gossip on Inmates telling me who is who and what clicks they are in. it's kind of like a high school for criminals. I haven't had the nerve to ask about the one, They call the Wolf, to be honest. I don't know if I should be feeling threatened or frightened. there's something about him that has me feeling scared and intrigued at the same time.

It was Wednesday morning. I woke up and done. My normal routine shower changed and coffee. Unfortunately, I have had a guest staying with me The last few days my brother Alex. I made it a point to be as loud as I can in the kitchen. Trying to wake his sorry àss up off my couch. I took out my blender throwing in a few different fruits to make myself A smoothie pressing the button making the loud machine turn on

"ah sis is that Necessary this early in the morning" he groaned

"oh I'm sorry did I wake you" I spat pressing the button again

"fine, I'm up" he said while pulling himself off my couch

" You know you have a house of your own you can spend the night at"

" It's too early in the morning for this conversation without coffee" he replied

I grabbed my fruit smoothie, my purse and car keys ready to leave for work. Alex still stood standing in my kitchen drinking his coffee

" I have to go to work" I said in a huff.

" If dad knew you were working in a prison , he would not be happy , with you or me" he stated

" Well not all of us wanted to be a police officer like you and dad" I through back

"I'm just saying sis, these people your trying to help I can Guarantee I put most of them away"

I knew Being a daughter of a cop and a sister of a cup would cause some problems with working at a prison which is why I thought it would be a good idea to change my last name to my mum's maiden , name baker. I didn't apply at blackworth to spy on people and get confessions. I am here to help them and try make them better.

I didn't have time for my brother's antics. I rolled my eyes and shut the door behind me.

The last few days mr baine aka the wolf has crossed my mind. I find him so intriguing. I know He said he killed the last shrink But I feel like he was just trying to use a scare tactic on me.

The prison wasn't very far from my Apartment. About 30 minute Drive.

When I arrived at blackworth I done my same routine ive done all week. I said hello to the gard at the gate scanned my card through all the doors, got greeted but Chevy and Mr burns aka Frank, Chevy would always walk in with me and have a morning coffee before We started out the day.

"oh" she said "what" I asked

"the baby, she kicked"

she grabed my hand making me feel the little angel kicking inside of her. these last few days Chevy and I have really become good friends it's nice to have a work bestie, even in a place like this.

once noon rolled around all the inmates were coming out of their work stations, I had a few spaces filled to get to know some of the inmates. no one actually put their hand up to willing come see me but reading their files I thought it would be a good opportunity to get to know these men. for the last hour I spent typing and reading on my laptop getting research and background stories on a few inmates. what they are in for, what their time here at blackworth has been like that sort of thing.

a small knock came on my door

I looked up to see Chevy rubbing her baby bump

"are you ok" I asked

"yeah just wanted to see if you wanted to go for a walk around the prison, I feel like my ankles are getting bigger from sitting down so much" she pouted

I let out a small chuckle closing my laptop, " I would love to"

we walked slowly down the halways talking baby stuff, every inmate passing us were very polite making sure we had enough room to pass by. we made it all the way out to the yard, I haven't had the chance to come out here yet. it wasn't different to what I expected. a small basketball court, a gym station with metal seating all around. to the side there was a small field with more table and chairs. it was a beautiful sunny day to be outside.

Chevy led to us a group of inmates sitting at a table playing a game of cards.

"miss chevy" one said " afternoon boys, have you met miss baker yet?"

" no we haven't" they said "Nice to meet you all. I do hope you come by my office and say hello"

one of them started asking Chevy about pregnancy cravings telling her how his wife had all sorts of weird cravings.

all of a sudden I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, I done a little scan only to see the wolf watching me from the gym. the man stading next to him was talking, they were to far away to hear what they were saying. how long had Kyus been watching me and miss Chevy? I swallowed the lump in my throat "I'll be right back" I said my feet took off into the direction of the bright blue eyes that were staring at me. I don't know why my mind and body kept doing this to me, it's like I have no control when it happenes untill it's too late.
