Amanda arrived a little early Monday morning since she could hardly sleep
the night before. This was her first real job and she wanted to make an
excellent first impression. Even though Amanda had met most of the
employees in Oz, as it was called for short, she still wanted to make a new
impression. It was time for her to show them Amanda the 21 year old women
instead of the Amanda they remember the 17 year old that would come and
visit her older brother every Friday so they could go out afterwards. As
she walked into the building she looked around taking everything in.
Amanda turned the corner towards her brother's office. She looked down at
the prisoner's quarters, which is also called "Emerald City". As she
looked down she could see 3 guards breaking up a major fight between two
men with weapons. In her head Amanda was beginning to have her doubt.
'Can I do this?'. Just before she could even think of the answer her own
question she ran into her brother. "Well you are on time. That's good."
He said to her. Amanda just looked at him and laughed. "Ok are you ready
for me to show you where you will be working?" Tim asked her. Amanda just
shook her head yes. She walked silently behind her brother as he lead her
to where she would be working. A few seconds later they both turned a
corner to an office with the words 'Sister Pete' written on it. Sister Pete
was the Nun in the prison. She helped the prisoners with whatever guidance
they needed. Amanda remembered her as a nice older lady that would give
you whatever she could if it helped you. Amanda was pleased at the thought
that she might get to work with her and possible help the prisoners as
well. She watched as her brother knocked on the door and then proceeded to
walk in. There was Sister Pete sitting at her desk. She hadn't changed
that much from when Amanda last saw her, and this was comforting. "Hello
Tim" she openly greeted. "Hello Pete. This is my little sister Amanda.
Do you remember her?" He asked the women. "Amanda? Wow you have grown up
so much since I saw you last." She said with a warm smile on her face.
Amanda began to feel at ease. "Come in, sit." She welcomed them in. As
Amanda sat her brother began to explain the situation. "Pete Amanda is
looking for a job and I thought you could use a non prisoner helper." He
told the women. "Well, I guess it couldn't hurt. I do have Tobias Beecher
working for me but he cant stay here as long and he cant go to all the
wards. Ok, welcome aboard Amanda." Sister Pete said kindly. "Thank you
sister for this opportunity." Amanda said graciously. "Well I'll leave
you two here so you can talk." He said looking at the two women. As he
was walking out he turned to say one last thing, "Oh Pete can you please
show Amanda around Oz?" Sister Pete just nodded. With that Tim turned
and left. "So Amanda, what have you been up to?" the woman asked. "Well,
I was in Med School for a while, then I dropped out because I didn't have
the passion anymore, and now I'm here." Amanda answered hesitantly .
"Well, I'm glad you're here. Well I guess I could show you around now."
she said. Amanda followed right beside her as she took her to all the
parts of the prison. Soon after Amanda now knew where the library,
bathrooms, break room, and other offices were but there was still more to
go. "I didn't realize that Oz was so big." Amanda said to Sister Pete.
"Yeah, there is a lot more to see too." she answered back. "Ok I guess I
can show you the kitchen/dinning hall now since it is just up a head." She
began to walk a little faster ahead. "We had a big explosion in there
about 4 months ago. It is just now starting to look like normal." Pete
said interestingly.
As they entered the massive kitchen/dinning hall Amanda could see many things going on at once. There was a women playing a piano as a man was singing in front of it. To the side there was about 7 prisoners dressed in all white working in the kitchen. "Well this is about it." Pete turned and then began to walk out. Just as Amanda was looking around the dinning hall and trying to follow Sister Pete she accidentally ran into something. As she looked up she saw a average height, medium build man with short, brown, spiky hair and brown eyes in front of her. "Oh Ryan." Sister Pete turned and said. "Hey Sister." the man said back. All the time the man kept staring at Amanda. In her head Amanda thought 'Wow this guy is really good looking' "Oh, Ryan O'Reily this is Amanda. She is going to be working with me." She spoke again. The man kept his stare on Amanda and said "Hey. Welcome to Oz." "Well we better get going. We still have a lot more things to see. And you need to get to work Ryan before the guards get mad." Sister said. 'He is an inmate here?' Amanda thought in her head. As she followed behind Sister Pete she glanced back to see the man one last time only to catch him doing the same. Just then the good looking man gave her a cunning smile. Quickly Amanda turned her head forward. As her face was towards Sister Pete's back Amanda let out a sly smile but in her head she thought 'Oh great you meet one guy in here that isn't a leper and he lives here.' As Amanda tagged close behind Sister Pete she thought of something else 'Better be careful Amanda. This is what could get you in major trouble.'........
