"So this is the visitation room where the inmates visit with family and friends. The glass is bulletproof and completely sealed around the edges so nothing can come in or go out. They talk through the phone receivers." Charlie explained as we walked through the visitation room consisting of 5 chairs. Seeing as how Forks was a small town the jail was small and did not house many guests at any given time.
I had just moved to Forks a couple of weeks ago to live with Charlie after my mom Renee had remarried and was on the road with her new husband Phil the baseball player. Luckily my boyfriend Jasper had moved here with me and since he was a year older he had graduated last year and did not have to worry about getting permission to move. I started thinking about Jasper and how much I could not wait until I graduated so that we could start college together next year and be on our own. I came back to my senses when I realized Charlie was still talking to me trying to get my attention.
"Bella are you even listening to me? I know you are bored and don't want to be here any more than I do but you said you wanted a job and this is the best paying job that allows you to study on the clock." Charlie explained.
"Sorry Dad. Just blanked out for a second. I'm listening." I felt myself blushing from being caught not paying attention.
We walked into the booking office where Charlie continued to show me the finger printing machine, camera for mug shots, uniform closet, and supply room for the jail. Charlie is the Chief of Police in Forks, so when I moved here and wanted a job to save up some extra money, he arranged for me to work in the jail after school to get some work experience and be able to study at the same time. Once we finished looking around the booking office Charlie decided to give me a complete tour of the holding cells and areas where the few inmates we had were housed.
"Bella, we are about to go where the inmates are. Do not touch them, talk to them, give them anything, or take anything from them. Do you understand? They may talk to you or make rude remarks, just ignore them and move on." Charlie said.
"I know Dad. We have been over this any times. I am 18 and not a kid."
"Ok. There is one cell especially I want you to avoid unless there is an emergency or you are doing your regular checks with another guard. Sep cell 1 has an inmate named Edward Cullen in it. He is in here for murder. His trial begins in a few months and we are holding him here until the trial is over. He is accused of murdering 25 people who went missing last year and then suddenly turned up in strange places with their bodies completely drained of blood. He is a sweet talker and will try to convince you of his innocence every chance he gets. Just ignore him and keep walking."
"Ok dad. Let's get this tour started so you can get back to work and I can get to work and studying."
And the tour begins.
