The next day when Amanda arrived to her second day of work she was
surprised at what all Sister Pete had in store for her. "Good morning
Amanda," Sister Pete said greeting her. Amanda just smiled and said "Good
morning." Before Amanda could even get a cup of coffee Sister began to
tell her what their agenda was for the day. "Well, everyday I have a drug
counseling meeting with inmates that with or are over coming an addiction
to drugs. That starts at 1:00 right after lunch. I would like you to come
and sort of get to know the inmates. Then hopefully after awhile they will
start to come to you for help instead of just me. Then after the session I
go to the inmates in solitary, death row and other secluded parts of Oz and
just sit and talk to them for a little while and see if they need anything.
Most of the time I'm the only conversation some of these men have next to
the CEOs." Sister finally finished. Amanda just looked at her and told
her "Ok, that sounds good." After finally being able to drink some coffee
and get her head on straight Amanda followed Sister Pete on her daily
routine. Amanda stayed so busy just watching and helping Sister Pete that
before she knew it, it was close to 1:00 which meant it was time for drug
counseling. Amanda followed right beside Sister Pete as she walked towards
the kitchen/dinning room. When Amanda realized where the meeting was going
to be held she couldn't help but wonder if she would see her mysterious
inmate. Minutes later Amanda was helping Sister Pete set up a circle of
chairs in the middle of the stage towards the front of the dinning room.
When they were finished Amanda looked at her watch. "It's 20 after Sister,
shouldn't they be here by now?" Amanda asked impatiently. "They will be
here soon most of them have to get off work to get here. Give them a few..
Oh there's one right now." She said while staring towards the kitchen.
Amanda turned to see the first inmate she was to meet from the session.
Amanda was in a little state of excitement when she saw her mysterious
inmate coming right for her.
Amanda tried not to show her desire for him as he walked closer and closer to her. It was hard for her not to as he was slowly taking off his white kitchen working clothes as he walked. As he took off his work shirt he revealed that he was wearing a blue wife beater shirt which also revealed a tattoo of a Brahma bull on his upper left arm. The closer he got to Amanda the more she began to get nervous. 'This is so stupid. Why am I getting nervous?' She asked herself. Amanda suddenly felt like she was in high school again watching her crush coming down the hall and trying not to make eye contact with him. With her head down Amanda turned and went back to helping set up the chairs. When she had finished putting the last chair in its rightful spot she quickly turned around to find Sister Pete for her next instructions. She looked all around the stage area and couldn't find her. The only person she did see was her inmate. He had taken comfort in one of the chairs Amanda had set up in the circle. Not knowing what to do or say Amanda thought she would take a risk and ask Ryan. She slowly approached him with her head down. As she walked she thought to herself, 'Why is my head down? This isn't high school and I'm not the little shy girl anymore.' With that Amanda lifted her head and was on the same eye level Ryan. "Hey, have you seen Sister Pete?" She got the nerve to ask him. He looked at her and said "No, sorry I cant help you." as he pulled out a cigarette and proceeded to light it. All Amanda could think is that his voice was even sexier than it had been yesterday. And so was he for that matter. Not knowing what else she could say she simply asked him for a cigarette. Ryan just smiled at her and said "I don't know, how old are you?" Amanda just shook her head and said "Old enough" as she grabbed the one out of his mouth and took a drag. Amanda didn't know what had come over her she was never this assertive, and she was beginning to like it. She watched Ryan's smiling face as she sat down next to him still smoking his cigarette. As she passed it back to him he began to ask her a question. "So your McManus' sister?" "Yep. Has that gotten around already?" She asked as she smiled. "Pretty much everyone knows. It funny though, I never would have pictured that you two share the same blood and shit." He said. "Well I could see that. I mean I am like 15 years younger so all my life he was more of a father than a big brother." She said. "Yeah, I understand that. I have a younger brother and I'm more of a father to him than that bastard that we have to call our father." He said after taking another drag from his cigarette. "So, what did you do to get in this place?" Amanda asked cautiously. "All my life I did shit that lead to my long stay here in Oz. It was just that one time I wasn't lucky and got caught." After saying that Ryan leaned in forward and began to take back the cigarette. Just as they looked at each other Amanda heard Sister Pete return to the stage. When Amanda saw Sister Pete she jumped up from her sit as if she had done something wrong.
Ryan just looked at her reaction and snickered a little. With Sister Pete's arrival the others from the group slowly followed. As everyone made their way to the chairs Sister Pete began to start the session. About 45 minutes later the men were putting up the chairs they had been sitting in, in the corner. The session wasn't as bad as Amanda thought it would be. Most of the men had been clean for a long time. But yet there were a few inmates that were just beginning their long struggle with their addictions. In the session she learn a lot more about her cute inmate Ryan. For example, he had been clean for over a year and has been divorced for close to 6 months after his wife found someone else who wasn't in prison. Ryan had been in Oz for close to 6 years. He had been sentenced to 12 years in Oz after a long list of crimes from possession of a controlled substance, 1 count of vehicular manslaughter in a stolen car. He was up for parole in about 2 years. Amanda also found out that his younger brother, Cyril was also a prisoner in Oz. Cyril also has an IQ of 51 after being severely hit in a bar fight trying to protect Ryan. The more Amanda began to learn about Ryan the more she let her guard down which was something you didn't want to do in Oz........
