Here's the next chapter, I must just say that storymom is dictating the way this story goes...the meaner she is to me the worse things get for Ryan. If any of you have'nt yet read A Chrismukkah Lesson then do so, it's great. The not so sweet nurse in the last chapter of her story... can I just say that Nurse Amanda is really a sweet and kind person who was totally bent out of shape by a bitter and twisted woman who wanted payback for me kicking Ryan in the nads in this story...(and she didn't even let me hold 'it'...sorry Nurse Amanda hold it!) :0)

The Accidental Hero
Chapter 13
Seth was still shell-shocked, he held onto Summers hand and squeezed.
"I can't believe you let him be sent to a place like that Dad…the stories Trey told…those prison movies aren't exaggerated, it…it's going to kill him. You've got to get him out."
Sandy looked at his wife helplessly as she twisted her wedding ring; he knew how hard this was on his family. Kirsten was barely holding on, she had upped her support group sessions to three times a week in a battle to stay off the drink. And Seth…no matter how many times he tried to explain the legal system to him could no understand that Sandy could do nothing.
"Seth… he only has another forty-eight hours to go then we can post bail at the arraignment. He'll get through this."
Sandy tried to put his sons mind at rest but Sandy knew full well what could happen in one hour in a place like that if your face didn't fit, let alone three days.
He'd been able to see Ryan that morning in his capacity as his lawyer and was shocked to see how the kid looked after just one day. He kept to himself the dark rings under Ryan's eyes that signalled another sleepless night, the fact that Ryan kept nervously looking around him even though they were alone and the flat tone to his voice that worried him to death.
He could say that it was only seventy-two hours to everyone like it was a stroll in the park but to Ryan; Sandy knew it was going to seem like a lifetime.
The first day they had allowed him to stay in his cell, they afforded him no such luxury on the second. His mind spun with all the rules thrown at him and he tried to remember all the unwritten ones that Trey had mentioned to him at their late night talks on what life had been like inside for his brother. There was a thin line to all of the do's and don'ts. One of the rules Trey had said for surviving your first few weeks inside was to never look someone directly in the eye if possible for fear of setting off some sort of challenge but the flip side was if you looked too kowtowed then that attracted the wrong kind of attention too.
He'd been elbowed and pushed but so far he had managed to stay away from any of the gangs that had formed inside the prison walls. He'd sat at a table at dinner and eaten in silence, when some of the inmates had tried to question him he'd just given them the look that said 'leave me alone'. Luckily the table he'd picked hadn't been a confrontational one and they had just grunted and ignored him, he knew that if he'd chosen a different table then it could have ended nastily but talking wasn't his strong point and he was as sure as hell not going to break a habit of a lifetime to appease a few curious cons. He'd made peace somewhat with his table after pushing his uneaten food to the centre and offered it to whoever wanted it.
He'd spent the two hours exercise time that evening walking by himself in the yard, head down smoking the pack of cigarettes that Sandy had brought in for him. That simple gesture had meant so much to Ryan, he knew how Sandy viewed smoking after his mothers brush with cancer and the fact that he'd brought them was a silent acknowledgement that he knew how hard this was going to be for Ryan without having to put it into words. It was another subtle shift in their relationship.
He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice the guy doing sit ups on the ground and tripped over his legs, he managed to stop himself face planting and muttered an apology to the Latino on the ground. He moved on quickly missing the frown on the man's face.
Ryan hated the next part of the day, the communal showers. This was definitely a place not to meet any ones eyes, he'd never been ashamed of his body, showering after sports at school had never been a problem for him. Here it was different, taking a shower buck-naked with a group of guys, some of which were making comments in loud voices about past hazing's on 'new fish' was fucking terrifying. Ryan was relieved when they cleared out, laughing at his discomfort as they went. It was only as he was getting dressed that he realized just how quiet the shower block had become…his internal warning bell started to ring.
Ryan muttered a low 'shit' under his breath. He flung his towel over his shoulder and made for the exit.
The door opened and a group of three entered pushing him backwards. Ryan saw one stand by the door, his head outside obviously keeping watch.
Ryan stood his ground…this was such a fucking worn out cliché that for one moment he thought that this must surely be a wind up.
A guy who looked like a cross between Mike Tyson and The rock stepped in front of him.
"Where do you think your going Fish?"
The tone of the man's voice told him he was in deep shit.
"Look I don't want any trouble…"
Ryan tried to keep his voice even.
"Ohh you're in a whole lot of trouble …I can insure you of that. You might have heard of me, I'm Rafferty and I'm gonna introduce a whole world of pain your way boy."
The short stocky man next to Rafferty snorted excitedly.
Ryan had heard of the name and his heart sank…this was the animal that he'd been hearing about for the past twenty minutes.
Ryan tried to sum up his chances against this man mountain and his trained monkey…he realized he was as good as fucked…and all things were pointing to the literal sense of the word. He had never felt so scared in his life, he had put up with a lot in his life but this did not compare. He swallowed and tried to look as unfazed as he could, fear would just turn these guys on more. This wasn't about the sex it was about control.
"Fuck this is old…have you two been watching too much Oz or are you just a couple of ass bandits 'cause I gotta tell you I don't swing that way."
He tried to sound nonchalant about it…maybe he could brazen his way out but as he'd never studied the psychology of prison rapists he didn't know what track to go for. Anger was building as he looked from one to the other as they stood in front of him, one thing he knew was this was not going to happen without a fight.
"Are you calling us faggots?"
The men advanced.
Ryan balled his fists and started pounding flesh. Two on one was not a fair fight. Rafferty was an experienced fighter and for his size was more agile than Ryan would have thought and for the second time in as many weeks Ryan found himself on the floor getting a kicking. As he rolled and tucked to mineralize the damage Monkey boy pulled Rafferty away from him.
"Shit Raff, don't fuck him up too much or we're in the shit."
Ryan did his best to stand up, he wiped his hand across his face to stop the blood from a cut on his brow from running in his eye and tried to look like he was ready for round two. From the way his knuckles were hurting he'd gotten a few good punches in but it really was a pitifully unmatched fight…. but he'd fight to the death if he had to.
He had just made it onto his feet when Rafferty grabbed him and propelled him hard into the wall, his arms were painfully twisted behind his back and monkey boy held his cheek firmly against the cold tiles. Ryan did his best to try and twist away from them but a heavy weight pinned him as Rafferty slammed his own body against his. Rafferty's hands snaked between the wall and Ryan's body as he set about undoing Ryan's pants.
Ryan tried to use his hips as a weapon, thrusting them forward and doing his best to grind Rafferty's hands hard against the wall, Rafferty hooked his foot against Ryan's and pushed outwards causing Ryan's hips to loose purchase with the wall. Panic set in as he felt Rafferty's prick harden against him as he managed to finally unzip Ryan's pants.
Ryan used up the last of his reserves on one concerted effort, he pushed back his body from the wall and Monkey boy lost his hold on his head. Ryan brought his head back sharply and felt it connect with a dull crack against Rafferty's face. He used the fact that Rafferty was momentarily stunned and had stepped back, twisting his arms away. They engaged in a scuffle as they tried to get him pinned against the wall again.
"Shit…get over here Boyle." Rafferty yelled at the man standing guard by the door.
Ryan felt the third man join in the fray and knew that there was no way he was going to get out of this.
The men hurried along the corridor to the shower block. Taking note that the guards were mysteriously occupied elsewhere. They always turned a blind eye when a fish was being initiated…they never got involved.
"You sure it was him?"
"As sure as I can be I haven't seen him since he was thirteen but I'm pretty sure and Talbot heard Rafferty and his goons were up for a little fun tonight with the new arrival…look at this place, it's happening now."
"Fuck… fuck, if they've laid one finger on him I swear I'll kill the sons of bitches."
The four men pushed open the door to the showers.
The man stopped in his tracks at the sight before him, Boyle and Gorgo had the new kid pinned against the wall as Rafferty was sliding a condom down his engorged shaft. By the looks of the place the kid had put up one hell of a fight, slashes of red adorned the white tiles around the men.
Rafferty turned and snarled at them.
"This is a private party boys…I suggest you turn right around… this doesn't concern you."
The man watched as Rafferty turned back to the wall and grabbed the boys hips and angled himself, the kid struggled…cursing and twisting.
"Rafferty…you better step away right now or I swear I'll fucking kill you."
Rafferty turned his head.
"Like I said …what the hell has this got to do with you?"
The man stepped forward.
"It has everything to do with me when you're trying to fuck my brother."
