Z's POV
Iron Heights Prison, it's an awful place, grey and void of colour on the outside with barbed wire sticking out on the top of the fences. It makes S.P.D look like a theme park, "Are you sure you wanna do this?" I ask an already anxious Syd,
"Yeah, we didn't come all this way to turn back now." I can see through Syd and her words of reassurance, she's terrified.
Syd shows her visiting order to the guarding officer, the visiting room looks no more brighter than the building's exterior, "Where is he? The guy's in prison and he still manages to stand me up."
"Syd, it's been two minutes, he'll be here." I hope I'm right, for Syd's sake. By chance Syd turns her head to the steel gate, and when I go to look in the very same direction, there's a man in a matching grey sweater and pants, with a bright orange Prison supplied vest.
"Cameron." Syd says softly, as it goes, Cameron's quite handsome, in a bad boy kind of way, his raven black hair is cropped and a shadow of a beard on his face is apparent.
"Syd. It's been a while." Cameron says smiling, "15 years is a long time apart." Ok, I may have had my reservations about this guy, and now I can see why, this guy is a jackass, 'It's been a while', who the fuck says that after 15 years?! "And this is?"
"I'm Z." I answer sharply, hoping that Cameron picks up on my frosty vibe. I know I said I'd support Syd, but this guy seems like a real jackass, I really don't like this guy.
"So, how's life treating you?" He asks with a smile, the arrogance,
"As of late I can't say I've been having a blast." She replies, a part of me thinks she's enjoying his arrogant attitude, of course, Cameron is exactly the type of guy Syd would go for,
"Try being in prison for 15 years." The dark haired man snorts,
"It was your own fault, Cameron."
"How many times Syd, your 'daddy' set me up, he lied in court and planted the evidence." Cameron says, agitated Now, I know Syd's dad is a bit of an ass, but I don't think he'd set someone up for robbery.
"You're lying." Syd is adamant of that, me, not so much.
Cameron's voice turns quiet, and cold as ice, "It's ok, because one day this will all come to light, and he'll be exposed for what he did, and when that day comes, I will be there, watching, cheering from the sidelines."
"Nice story." I say with a smirk but Syd tells me to shut up, Cameron continues, "Anyway, now you know where I am, Syd, we can get reacquainted." For a moment I think I see a brief, flash of a smile on Syd's face, please, please don't tell me she's falling for this shit again, "How did you cope with motherhood?" Sydney's smile all of a sudden went, "One of the guys in here's got a sister who went to your school, I wrote to you, to see if the baby was mine."
"I thought you said he knew about her?" I whip my head to the side,
"He knew I was pregnant." She tells me, then turns back to Cameron, "Cameron, you were the only person I slept with, of course she was yours."
"She?" Cameron asks, his tone of voice gone from bitter to interested.
Syd's voice is far from it's usual tone,"Yeah, that's the reason I wanted to speak to you, when she was born, I put her up for adoption, and recently, she got arrested, by my team, at the time she didn't know who I was, and now she does, and…she hates me."
"Right." Cameron urges Syd to go on,
"I Know you're getting out soon, so…I want to discuss us actively taking over as Roxy's parents." Cameron doesn't know what to say, I think we've established he's not exactly father material.
Cameron's Onyx eyes lock with Syd's icy blue ones, "Are you sure? Is this what she wants, or what you want?"
"She should be with her real parents."
"We may not be together, but you are right, when I've got myself sorted, we'll sort something out." There it is, she's got that sparkle in her eye, I knew she'd fall for him again.
"Well…great." Syd smiles, all of a sudden a loud buzz disrupted the quiet flow of chatter, our time was up, just before Cameron is escorted back to his cell, he turns back to Syd,
"It was great to see you, really." He says, and then he was gone.
"Are you sure you're doing the right thing?" I ask Syd,
"He's changed Z, I just know it." I could tell Syd wants to believe it, but I'm just not convinced, but, in the end, I know that all I an do is support her like I said I would, and hope for her sake that Cameron is the changed man Syd belives he is.
