Emotions Legend
[quote][b]Solenis (Oct 07, 2004 12:12 a.m.):[/b] Seven months after his parole hearing, he began to realize that he wasn't leaving. It didn't happen all at once. It was a hard leap to make. Reynolds had been so [i]sure[/i]. Everything had fallen into place just the way she'd described it until the hearing itself, and then...nothing. The scheduled time for his departure came and went, and Julia told him they were still reviewing his files and that he would be returned to the lower levels until they came back with their answer to make room for the next prospective patients. He left his room empty with the guard escort, and as they walked he cast glances into all seventeen rooms between his door and the elevator. None of them were occupied. He tried to contact Reynolds several times through the other staff. When they didn't just brush him off they told him to be patient, and that she was working on it. The longer he waited the fewer positive responses he got, and as more and more of the staff was replaced he began to get impatient. He had things to do and the delay was becoming unacceptable. Eventually one of the newer nurses told him that Reynolds had been re-assigned to a different location. When he pressed to find out if he'd been given a new doctor, the nurse said he'd have to speak to his counselor, who was not yet available but would be arriving in the next week. He bided his time, and no counselor appeared. He asked again and was rebuffed. He demanded and they put him in solitary, and when they came to take him out they gave him four injections that left him nearly senseless, but he could tell he was being moved. There were hallways and elevators, and then he was being dumped onto a minimally yielding surface and left alone. The adult ward was much different than the juvenile ward. The liquid despair had crystallized. He spoke to no one and kept near to his room, watching and waiting and looking for guards. There were no guards unless there was a problem. The only normal monitoring was done through cameras and loudspeakers, and the guards usually took their time about breaking up a fight. Sometimes they didn't come at all. He waited and watched for the sign, the indisputable sign that Reynolds had abandoned him, and three weeks later it came. They brought her in just as drugged as he had been, and he waited until the guards left and then slipped inside. None of the doors had locks except the ones that led outside. She was face down and unmoving, and he turned her over to her back so she could breathe. Her eyelids fluttered but didn't open, and he covered her more securely with the blanket and waited for the drug to wear off.[/quote]
