"I'm Ryo. I work as a prison guard, but there is one inmate that... Well, you'll just have to see for yourself what goes on here.."

"I was making my rounds when I was passing my Inmate 252. His name was Devon, and everyone called him Devil Devon in the prison. I was walking by his cell and he was just hanging against the bars until he said something."

Ryo was walking through the prisoner and doing his usual rounds until he passed the cell that held Devon.

"Hey. I heard it was your mother's birthday. I think I'll pay her a visit when I get out of here." Devon said.

"What?!" Ryo said as he grabbed him through the bars and wanted to make it clear that Devon better not go near his mother.

"Devon was one of the most psychotic criminals in the whole prison. He was brought in for murder, chopping up a poor woman, and actually ate some of his flesh. He was lucky he didn't get the death penalty. The son of that poor woman showed some leniency and forgave him. I didn't quite understand why he did something like that. Devon was considered mentally impaired and only got about fifteen years for his sentence."

Devon should consider himself lucky his sentence became as long as it did. Despite brutally murdering a woman, the woman's son chose to forgive him.

"After he was sent to prison, Devon cast a shadow over the whole place. A lot of inmates were scared of him. He was the type of prisoner you didn't want to mess with, and if you try anything or did anything that would make him angry, he threatened to find the person closest to that person and kill them. With his sort of attitude, he practically ran things around there. They also were on their best behavior since his release date was close."

From what Ryo is saying, Devon is a dangerous man. Everyone tried to stay clear of him. With his release date soon approaching, people were more cautious around him.

"The only family Ryo really had was his mother, and she ran her own deli business. She wrote to him a lot and asked that she come work with her as soon as he was released. Another reason Devon should consider himself lucky. If I was his parent, I be greatly disappointed and ashamed at what my son has done...and that should only be the tip of the iceberg. I just assumed it was a mother being a mother and let the whole thing go."

As Devon's release date was coming, it seemed like he would still have a family and would get a job. Even before he was released, things were looking up for Devon...and it made Ryo sick.

"I wasn't quite happy with the man who forgave Devon. If I was him, I never would have. If Devon gets out, I just know he's going to do what he did to someone else. This means that this devil was going to be released to society soon and someone else is going to get killed. As a police officer, I had to let Devon go, but I knew what Devon was going to do. I had to make sure my family was safe, and that meant I had to stop Devon when I get the chance."

Ryo doesn't trust that Devon is going to become a decent person. All of this seemed wrong and Ryo's instincts were just telling him that something had to be done.

"Devon's release date soon came and he was finally out of the prison, but I took a personal day. That's what I wanted my coworkers to think. I didn't trust Devon, and I had a bad feeling about something going on between him and his mother. I kept myself hidden and waited until Devon came out of the prison. To my surprise, the warden himself was driving Devon to the business. That was unusual for the warden to do, and that just confirmed that there was something seriously wrong."

Ryo decided to secretly investigate Devon, but anyone finding out about this could be big trouble for Ryo. Regardless of the risk, Ryo still investigated. He saw the warden take Devon out of the prisoner and drove off.

"Carefully following them, I soon found myself at the deli that Devon's mother worked at. The warden went inside with Devon and I just waited across the street. I waited for about a good twenty minutes and was starting to get worried about the warden. I was real close about going inside to check it out when I saw the warden come out and he looked perfectly fine. That was a relief, but there was no sign of Devon. The warden drove off and didn't see me, but I remained where I was and kept my eyes open for Devon. I just knew he was going to try something."

Ryo kept his eyes on things with Devon. The warden dropped him off at the business and soon came out. Ryo stayed and continued watching for Devon, but things were awfully quiet.

"It was too quiet. I didn't see Devon anywhere and hours passed. I didn't like how this was going. Devon wouldn't be demented enough to attack his own mother, but I had to do something. I decided to take the risk and go on inside. When I went in, there was really only one guy working."

"Hi. Can I help you?" The guy said.

"I'm looking for Devon or his mother. I'm one of the guards that worked at the prison Devon was locked up in." Ryo said. "Where are they?"

"I asked about them, but what the man said next surprised me."

"Devon's mother died not that long ago, and she left the business to me. I used to work for her." The guy said. "If you want to know where Devon is, follow me. He's in the back."

Ryo was curious about what was going on with Devon. Things seemed rather weird, so the man who worked at the deli showed him the back. Ryo was in for a surprise.

"He took me to the back where he keeps all the meat. When we got back there, I was met with great horror. Devon was hanging like a large piece of beef and was clearly dead. I was so shocked that I fell on my butt and was horrified."

"What the hell is this?!" Ryo questioned.

Seeing Devon hanging like that was horrible, but what Ryo learned next was just as horrible.

"I'm the son of that poor woman he killed. I only seemed forgiving because I wanted him to be released and I would have the chance to kill him myself." The guy admitted like it was nothing. "That warden you work for helped me with this. After all, no one is going to miss a man like him."

"This unbelievable. The warden knew about this and did nothing about it. He was a part of it. Devon may not have been a great guy, and possibly a psycho, but did that mean he deserved to die like this? I'm now faced with a murderer, but I can't tell what I did without admitting what I did and risk losing my job. I decided to do the right thing and admit to what I saw. The guy was arrested, the warden was fired, and I was put on leave until further noticed. I just can't stop wondering if I really did do the right thing."
