This story is going to be completely different to anything I have written before but I hope you'll like it. I want to thank dldb and levesque fan forever for letting me bounce the ideas off of them, here's hoping it works as well as you thought it would.

Scraping her hair back into a tight bun she secured it before she pulled her shirt on and did the buttons up one by one and tucked it into her pants. Slipping her shoes on her feet she did them up before she left her bedroom to get some breakfast.

Walking into the kitchen she smiled seeing all of the food on the table. Walking over to the stove she hugged him tightly, "thank you Cody, you're the best."

Cody smiled and hugged her back, "you're welcome beautiful. I just wanted to make sure that on your very first day at work you have been well fed and you have lots of energy to deal with all of them. Go and take a seat whilst I plate this stuff up for you."

Kissing his cheek she went to take a seat whilst he plated up a big plate of food and placed it in front of her.

Finishing off her breakfast she got up and put her plate in the dishwasher before turning to clean up the table but stopped when he grabbed her arm, "I'm just trying to do my bit as you cooked."

"You don't need to, just go and make sure you're ready for work and I will deal with this mess okay?"

Smiling she went to grab her stuff and make sure she had everything she needed before she grabbed her keys ready to go, "I'm off. I will see you tonight."

Pausing briefly from stacking the dishes he looked over at her, "have a good day sweetheart."

Rolling her eye she shook her head, "don't miss me too much baby."

"Don't worry gorgeous, I have your pictures to keep me company."

Turning around she flipped him off as she walked towards the door, she loved that guy dearly but sometimes she really did wonder what she was thinking when she agreed to live with him.

Staring at the ceiling listening to the guards shouting telling everyone to get up and inspection was in five minutes and then hearing his cell mate going on about needing the cell to be spotless he growled, "if you tell me what to do one more time I am going to punch your lights out."

Getting up from his bunk the cell mate stared at him, "I don't want to get in trouble for your tardyness."

Rolling his eyes he turned his head to look at him, "what are they going to do to you? Ground you? We're in prison, it's not like they can actually do anything to us so take a chill pill."

Throwing his blanket off he sat up before he jumped down from his bunk and made the bed, "there? Are we happy now?"

"Well you could clean your locker too."

Silently he tidied up his locker not wanting to get violent this early in the morning because he was trying to turn over a new leaf, kind of.

The cell door opened and they were instructed to line up outside which Hunter did as the officers inspected them and the cell. As soon as they were done and they gave them the all clear Hunter smirked at his cell mate, "what did I tell you? You worry too much, you're like an old woman."

Heading back into his cell Hunter climbed back on his bunk and lay down not really caring for breakfast as the food sucked.

Arriving at the prison Stephanie made her way to the Governor's office to discuss her employment but she already knew what was going to be said, she was a female and was she sure that this is where she wanted to be but she was prepared for that.

Sitting down opposite the desk she waited for him to join her as he was currently sorting something out. When the door opened behind her she turned her head and stood up as she sae him walk in, "good morning Sir."

Smiling politely he had been hesitant about accepting her transfer and seeing her in front of him he was even more hesitant because she was young and pretty and there was no way she could cope with this, "good morning. Take a seat."

Sitting down she had a feeling she knew what was coming so decided to jump in, "I wanted to thank you for accepting my transfer request. I did love my other job but it just wasn't challenging enough for me and I want to continually push myself and grow in my job and I feel this opportunity will allow me to do that."

Leaning on his desk with his hand clasped together he looked her over, "are you really sure this is the right environment for you? No offense but you're young, pretty and these men could easily manipulate you to get what they want."

Not sure whether to take it as a compliment or just be insulted by what he was implying she frowned, "I don't actually like what you are implying there. For your information I have been dealing with grown men acting like children my entire life, for as long as I can remember I have been getting between them and breaking up fights so this won't be much different, the only difference will literally be that all of these guys have a criminal record. My Dad wanted me to go into the family business but I didn't want to, it was boring because I has been dealing with it for so long and I want to make a difference and I feel like I can do that here."

Listening to her talk he would be lying if he said her words and passion didn't make him feel a little better about his decision but words were just that, they didn't mean anything, "so how do you feel about dealing with medium security inmates?"

Shrugging her shoulders she didn't care, "honestly it doesn't bother me what security level they are, the bottom line is they're all the same and I'll treat them all like human beings unless they act otherwise. I am not here to be their friend or their Mother, I am here to make sure they follow the rules and they do not cause any trouble but I refuse to treat them like children because in my experience dealing with men that only causes more trouble than it solves."

She was making all of the right noises so he felt like he had to give her the opportunity, "well if you feel like you can handle it then let me show you around C block where you will be assigned."

She wanted to squeal with excitement as this was exactly what she wanted, "that would be great, thank you."

Following the Governor out of his office they made their way towards C block so she could look around and just get a real feel for the place.

Relaxing on the bed with his eyes closed Hunter just took these moments to himself whilst the hustle and bustle of a day in jail continued outside of the cell.

His peace was broken when his cell mate returned, "yo Hunter, you want to help me clean up this cell?"

Sitting up Hunter jumped down from his bunk, "again?! Haven't we already cleaned this place up? Are you a clean freak or what?"

"We tidied, we didn't actually clean and I really think it needs it. you are such a slob that this place gets dirty in an instant."

He tried to be good, he tried to hold on to his anger but he'd had it. Without saying a word he pulled back his right hand that was already balled into a fist of irritiation and punched his cell mate in the face, "now you have something to clean up."

Stood talking to one of the officers and the Governor Stephanie heard the commotion upstairs and watched as the officers went running, "can we go up and take a closer look? I would love to see how things get handled here."

Shrugging his shoulders the Govenor motioned to the stairs, "go right ahead."

Heading quickly up the stairs she made her way to the doorway of the cell taking note immediately of the situation with one inmate on the floor and one standing defensively inside the cell. Watching the officers advance aggressively towards the defensive inmate she shook her head as he predictably fought their advances forcing the officers to pull the injured inmate out to regroup and discuss how they were going to get him cuffed and to solitary.

She may not have started work yet but it wasn't going to stop her getting involved, "somebody give me some handcuffs and let me deal with this."

Everyone turned to look at her skeptically, "but . . ."

"But what? But I'm a woman? Please, let me see if I can do in thirty seconds what you have failed to do in five minutes."

Taking an offered set of handcuffs she stepped inside the cell, "what's your name?"

When all the officers left his cell Hunter smirked, it was way too easy playing with them all, they were all so pathetic he didn't even know how they had a job. Watching as a new female officer stepped inside his cell she immediately had his interest, "Helmsley."

"Is that your first or last name?"

Smirking he liked her, "last."

"So do I get your first name or what?"

Raising his eyebrow he tilted his head, "Hunter. What's your name?"

Smiling a little she knew how to keep things professional, "Officer McMahon. Turn around and put your hands behind your back."

"Why should I?"

Despite asking the question he turned around and put his hands behind his back, there was something different about her, she had a completely different vibe that he had never got from an officer before.

Stepping forward as he did as she asked she slapped the handcuffs onto him and whispered, "because we all know you're nothing like you pretend to be." Raising her voice she said, "turn around and off to solitary you go."

Walking him to the door she prepared to hand him off to the officers, "there you go."

As one of the male officers reached for the handcuffs Hunter jerked away, "get your filthy hands off me."

Confused she stared at him before she looked at the officers and the Governor, "what if I walk him to solitary? I mean you said I had the job right?"

Nodding his head slowly the Governor could agree to that, "sure. Two officers will follow you and if he plays up they will take him down. As soon as you're done I want you to report back to my office and I will get the paperwork finished off."

"Sure." Turning to the officer that gave her the handcuffs she put her hand out, "keys please?"

Wating until they handed over the keys she pocketed them and took control of the handcuffs and gently pushed him towards the cell, "I have no idea where I'm going so you can show me the way but be warned, they're following us so if you take me the wrong way I'll know."

Silently walking down the stairs he led her out to walk across to solitary, he'd been there enough to know his way with his eyes closed.

As they left the main compound Stephanie had a burning question, "so why are you good for me and not them?"

Shrugging his shoulders he didn't know, there was just something about her, "just am."

"So do you like hate me or something? It's rude if you do, you don't even know me."

Laughing he didn't want to turn his head and see the officers, "trust me, if I hated you you wouldn't be getting it this easy. You're different, a good different."

"Thank you, I think. You do know I'm going to get all of the gossip on you now don't you Hunter? I mean you were nice to me so obviously they'll tell me everything."

Hearing his name pass her lips sent a shiver down his spine, the kind of shiver he hadn't felt in a long time, "oh well, it's a shame you won't get to put that new found knowledge into practise as this is the last you will see of me as they'll transfer me to another block or maybe another prison as I've not exactly been a model inmate."

Entering solitary she took him to his new cell, "you never know, they may send you back where you came from."

Listening as she slammed the door he leant back against it allowing her to remove the handcuffs, "I wish they would this time but they never do. It was nice meeting you."

There was something in his voice that sent a shiver down her spine and set her body tingling, "be good Hunter and you never know what will happen."

Turning away from the door after making sure it was locked she handed the keys and handcuffs back to the officer, "thanks for letting me borrow them."

Walking off she had a date with the Governor to keep and if he asked about Hunter she had a few things she would be more than happy to share.

Pushing himself away from the door he went and took a seat on the bed and muttered, "the only thing I want to happen is to have you and I doubt it will happen."
