Take a
look around
Tell me what you see
Is who you think you are
Who you want to be
It's ok, to be a little broken
Everybody's broken, in this life
It's ok, to feel a little
broken
Everybody's broken, your alright
Just keep on going
Eyes wide open
Everybody's broken
Everybody's Broken- by Bon Jovi
The Last Night Part 7
Sam had just finished up lunch when he heard a knock at the door of his room. Deacon's head peeked in at him.
Sam felt his stomach clinch up on him. He swallowed hard and tried to smile at Deacon. Sam felt Bobby pat his back as Deacon walked into the room with an apologetic look on his face.
"Hi Sam, I'm glad you're feeling better." Deacon said with a sympathetic look on his face.
"It time to go?" Sam said trying to fight the tears that were welling up in his eyes.
"Easy there kiddo, I came a bit early because I wanted to talk to you so you would know what to expect today." Deacon approached the bed pulling an extra chair out of the corner to sit on.
"Sam this time is going to be different from your last experience in prison , ok? I'm going to tell you step by step what is going to happen today, and if any of this confuses you, or if you have questions just ask. I want you to remember that I'm your friend, and I'm not going let anything happen to you." Sam sighed, and nodded at Deacon.
"Ok, well first thing Sam, you'll get dressed in the clothes that Bobby brought you. You and I'll walk down stairs to the prison van that I drove here. I'll introduce you to my partner Darren, who is waiting in the van. Once we reach the van, I'll have to put handcuffs on you. We'll just make sure that their not tight. I hate to do it, but it is one of the rules I have to follow when transporting prisoners." Deacon paused. "Do you have any questions Sam?"
"Deacon, is um Daaaren nice?" Sam looked at Deacon with big eyes.
"Yes, Sam, Darren is a really nice guy. I think you'll like him." Deacon said with reassuring smile.
"Sam, I want you to remember that the guards are you friends, if you have any problems tell them, you can trust them." Bobby added with a pat to Sam's knee.
"Sam are you going to be ok with the handcuffs?" Deacon asked with a concerned look on his face.
"I not like it, but I not want you and your friend to get in trouble, I be brave." Sam said with a weak smile.
"That's good Sam. Ok, so once we have you loaded up in the van, we'll take a ride back to the prison. This time, you'll not be processed with all the other prisoners. It will just be you. Darren and I'll take you to the processing area where you'll have to take off all your clothes. Do you remember the strip search from last time Sam?" Deacon asked as he reached over to pat Sam on the arm.
"I member. It not fun, but not hurt. I … um you will do it Deacon?" Sam looked at his hands in embarrassment
"Yeah Sam, don't worry, I'll perform the strip search but Darren has to be in the room to witness it, ok?" Sam noticed Deacon was looking at him expectantly.
"Ok Deacon, I'll be ok. Uh then, I have to put on that outfit that makes me look like a pumpkin?" Sam said with a smile.
"One helluva tall pumpkin Sam!" Bobby said with a chuckle. Deacon joined in on the laugh.
"At least the orange suit looks good on you Sam, it just makes most of our inmates look fat!" Deacon added to lighten the moment.
"I like orange, and pumpkins." Sam added with a smile.
Deacon patted Sam on the leg. "That's great cause you will see lots of it in the next few weeks."
"Sam, I was also going to mention that your friend Mara the lawyer, she was able to get you sentenced reduced to a couple of months. With good behavior, we hope to have you out of there in a few weeks ok?" Deacon was hoping that by mentioning the reduced time, Sam would be a little less upset.
"Ok, Deacon. Bobby said time go by fast." Sam was starting to fill a little better about the trip. "Deacon what happen next?"
"Well Sam, after we process you, we'll take you to the infirmary. Do you remember what the infirmary is?" Deacon looked at Sam with a reassuring smile.
"Hospital?" Sam replied.
"That is right, Sam, it is the prison hospital. Doctor Dave and the Head Nurse, Cathy, are my friends, too. They have been in contact with your doctor , and have got the ok, to keep you in the infirmary for the first two weeks of your stay. That way they can monitor your medications. If you feel up to it, you can work as a trustee in the infirmary during that time. Do you remember what a trustee is?" Sam was happy that Deacon had so many friends at the prison to help him. He was also proud of himself cause he did remember.
"A helper right?" Sam said with a smile.
"That is right, Sam, and you'll be a trustee in the infirmary. In the first two weeks that you are there, if you feel up to it, you can help Nurse Cathy. You'll like her. She has a son your age. Nurse Cathy has already prepared a cell in the infirmary for you. She has books for you, and a small TV." Sam was happy to hear about the books.
"That nice. But Deacon, what happen when I better? Where I go then? Can I still help the nurse?" Sam hoped he could still help, he liked to help people.
Deacon eyes lit up at Sam's question. "Of course Sam, you can still help Nurse Cathy. Once you are out of the infirmary, we'll give you a private cell on the cell block. In the morning, after breakfast and a shower you'll help mop out the cells while the others are in the exercise yard. After lunch you'll go to the infirmary to help Nurse Cathy. After Dinner, you'll go back to your cell to relax and read if you want to before lights out. Do you have anymore questions?" Deacon gave Sam's knee a squeeze.
"I don't think so." Sam thought everything sounded ok, less scary than he had thought.
Bobby spoke up. "Uh, Deacon, will Sam eat and shower with the other inmates? And if he is mopping when the inmates are outside, will he get time outside?" Sam looked at Bobby with a smile. He thought Bobby was smart, those were good questions.
Deacon cleared his throat. "Sam you'll eat and shower with the other inmates, but the guards will be watching out for you." Deacon continued. "I plan on taking Sam outside after the others come in on my fifteen minute break, and if I'm not there, Darren or one of the others will." Deacon finished, looking at Bobby and Sam waiting for more questions.
Bobby patted Sam on the back again and smiled. "I think that sounds alright. What do you think Sam?"
Sam smiled and tried to be brave, though he was still pretty upset with the idea of leaving the safety of the hospital and Bobby. "I be fine Bobby. When you visit me?"
Deacon turned and spoke up. "Bobby can come every Wednesday at one o'clock, right after lunch. And Mara, being your lawyer can come any day at one o'clock." Deacon answered.
"Sam, today is Monday, so that means I'll be there to see you in two days, ok? And your pretty lawyer said she would come tomorrow to check on ya." Bobby said with a wink.
Sam blushed. He did have a bit of a crush on Mara, and he guessed Bobby knew it. "That not long at all, I be fine, Bobby." Sam winked back at Bobby with a smile.
"Well, I hate to cut this short, but if you don't have anymore questions, Sam, we need to get you ready to go." Deacon said with a reassuring smile.
"I not have questions. I get dressed, and we go." Sam started to get out of bed. Bobby reached down to pick up a duffel bag and handed it to Sam.
"Sam, you need help, with any of this stuff boy?" Bobby asked.
Sam blushed as he took the bag and looked down. "No, Bobby, I can do it." Sam stood and started towards the bathroom.
Bobby smiled, and said. "Holler if you need help, K, Sammy?"
Sam turned and smiled. " Ok."
As Sam closed the bathroom door, he could hear his friends talking. Sam leaned against the bathroom door and took a deep breath. He was still pretty frightened by the idea of going to prison, but he remembered what Dean had said to him. Sam knew that no matter what Dean would be looking out for him. With that thought, he smiled and started to get dressed.
A quick note, Dean will be back as soon as Sam is settled in prison!
