		Chapter 9

(ROBERT'S POINT OF VIEW)

I decided to just stick it out. If it is my turn to go, there isn't a thing
I can do about it. Still I will keep my distance from my roommate and his
friend. They seem honest about what they have told me so far, but the other
members have shown me I can't trust this gang.

After lunch, just like after the other meals since I have been here, I hid
away from everyone. Yesterday I found this corner where I can just sit and
mind my own business until lights out. No one will find me here, not even
the guards.

I am into this book I'm reading, I didn't hear the person walk up to me.
Until I heard him clear his throat. I looked up at the guy standing before
me. I recognize him as one of the guys from the table. I can't place his
name though.

"Robert, why would you choose to spend your time sitting in this corner on
the cold floor? I know it's hard to get used to a new place, but this place
is a lot better than the County jail. Just give it a chance."

"Are you a spy, spying for that gang?"

"Excuse me Robert but what are you smoking? Spy? I'm no spy for anyone. I
just saw you walk this direction a couple times that's all. I just wonder
why you want to hang out here instead in the dayroom or your room."

"I am sorry. I just had it rough while I was in County. Now I'm here and
roomed with a gang member that seems to be the right hand of the leader of
the gang that gave me the hard time. I can't be too careful about who I
trust right now."

"Look I don't know what had happened to you while you were in County. It
had to be ugly if you'd rather sit here than with the others. One thing I
can say for sure is that Alex and Carlos are not bad people.

Yes, they are part of the gang you are talking about. You have to realize
that is the way of life they grew up in. Just like the color of their skin,
they have no choice but to be in this gang. And you're right; Alex is the
leader of the branch of the gang in here.

Still, since he has been here, he hasn't caused any of us any trouble. He
hasn't tried to take over the halls of this place or demand payment,
respect, or even beat any one up in this building. I can say for certain
that Carlos and Alex are cool guys to hang around with. So if that is what
you are worrying about, stop."

I sat their listening to what this guy is saying. Trying to remember his
name. He remembers mine, I can't remember his but as I look at him more and
more I like what I see. He is indeed one cute ass guy.

"You have no idea who I am, do you? Just the look in your face you seem to
be lost."

"Sorry I know you told me your name, but I have already forgotten it. I
surely didn't mean to. Just I got introduced to all of you at the same
time."

"Don't worry Robert. I am bad with names too. My name is Steve, Steve
Kindle. One of Matt's friends. We got here the same day together. Ever
since then we clicked and became good friends."

 "Oh, by the looks of it, it looks like you are Alex's friend."

"Both of them are my friends. I just have known Matt a lot longer then I
have known Alex. Just to clear your mind, everyone in our group is
cool. You have nothing to worry about at all."

Steve walks over and sits right next to me on the floor still talking to
too me. This is giving me a chance to look Steve over. He looks around my
age, maybe a year younger or older. It can go either way. But like a lot
more than that.

He stands maybe around five eight or so. Short red hair with green eyes. He
is white and looks like he could use to get a little sun but that's the
same thing with me. What I like the most about Steve is he has these
freckles everywhere. I have always dreamed of being with a guy with
freckles.

"Earth to Robert, Robert come in. Are you checking my out man?"

I am caught again. How in the world do I get myself caught? I started to
move into the corner as fast as I could. At the same time getting ready for
a butt kick from Steve. I need to stop checking guys out or I will never
live to be able to be free.

"Ummm, nooooo, ummm, please don't hurt me. I will noooot dooo it
again. Pleaseee."

I started to shiver as Steve moved closer to me. Here it comes, another ass
kicking for being a queer.

"Hey man don't worry about it. I don't care if you check me out. To tell
you the truth I have been checking you out since you got here. That's the
main reason I have been watching you. I wanted to find a reason to talk
with you."

"You mean you are like me? I didn't know there is anyone like me in a place
like this."

"Trust me Robert, there are a lot more of us in a place like this than you
would think. In fact I think I know a couple of them. What I mean by I
think is that they haven't come out and told me or anyone yet."

"Yeah if they do they will get their ass kicked. That is what happened to
me in County. I looked at one of the guys a little too long. The next thing
I knew I was being carried away with my face smashed in by my dinner tray."

"Robert, that won't happen here. You need to be a lot more careful though
when you look at a guy in here. I am like you, but who knows if the next
one you look at the way you did to me is the same."

"You said you were trying to find a reason to talk with me. Do you find me
interesting or just a charity case?"

"Robert, I like you, and I want to get close to you. I want to get to know
you. I am not saying right off we will be a couple. I hope we can, but it
is a little hard in here to carry on a relationship like the one we might
have."

Until dinner time, Steve and I sat on the floor asking each other questions
trying to find out more about each other. We talked about everything from
how many guys each of us have dated all the way to the sex
questions. Neither of us have had sex yet. I haven't even kissed a guy, but
Steve has.

Steve even let me pick up his hand and hold it. I took his hand in mine,
and with my other hand I caressed his hand. I wanted to feel him so bad. I
have never held another guys hand in mine like this before. It's a new
feeling for me.

All of a sudden, Steve snatched his hand back. I looked at him with a
puzzle look in my face. I don't understand why he pulled his hand away
from. Then my question got answered when a guard walked around the corner.

"Hey you two, you are not supposed to be here. Get up and head to your
rooms or the dayroom. I better not catch you here again if you know what's
good for you. Do you two understand me?

Steve and I got up and shook our heads in the positive to answer the
guard's question. Then we made our way over to the dayroom. It is taking
every ounce of power in me not to look at Steve as we make our way down the
hall. I will be one lucky guy if I can get Steve to be my first boyfriend.

(ALEJANDRO'S POINT OF VIEW)

As I sat on my bed listening to Matt pouring out his heart I couldn't help
but think the fight we are having is very stupid. I need to understand that
Matt is different from me in more ways than one.

I also have to understand what I have with Matt is totally different than
running segments of the gang. For this relationship to work I have to be
willing to bend on so much. That's something I am not used to doing.

That is the only way I can keep Matt. Really that is the only way I am
going to survive this place. I need strong support behind me no matter
where things go with the gang. If everything fails I may wind up in
lockdown or I may end up in Building "B" because I might have to decide it
is best for me to run the gang the usual way not informing on everything
and how we get things done.

 "Matt you can't question me in the manner you did yesterday. I am not
asking you to kiss my butt, but you can't question me like that. Even in
private you can't do it. If I let you do it, you might slip up out
there. Then I will need to make you look little."

"You are not answering my question Alex. Please do you love me still? I
can't go on another day without knowing I still have your love. I promise
not to question you like that again. I want things to go back to the way
they were," Matt stated with angst in his voice.

"Matt to tell you the truth, I am more at fault than you in the fight we
had yesterday. I won't make any excuses. I won't try to lie my way out. I
need to learn how to deal with my differences better in the future.

I just need you to adjust the way you talk with me. It is very important
that you don't do what you did yesterday, out there in the future. I need
your promise on that Matt. If you can't do that, you will back me into a
corner and I will have no other choice but to react in the manner I did
yesterday."

"I promise I won't ever do that again in here or out there. I just want you
in my life Alex. I don't know when or how but I have fallen for you
totally. It hurts just thinking about the possibility that I might have
lost you," Matt responded.

"Matt you won't lose me as far as the fight we had yesterday. I agree with
you, something has happened in such a short period of time. I can't explain
it, but I hope it lasts for a long time to come," I said reassuring Matt of
my feelings.

Neither of us said another word to one another. Just the looks between us
spoke volumes more than whatever we could say in words. I want to cuddle
with Matt, but I know it is too close to dinner. We can't risk getting
caught by anyone walking in the door.

Everything just slipped back into place again. In fact the mood at the
table seemed even lighter than it has in the last day or so. Robert and
Steve looks like they have hit it off. I am glad that Robert trusts someone
at our table.

After dinner we went into the dayroom to watch television. Although the
games are over, I can catch the highlights from them at least. Carlos sat
on the same couch in order to ensure he can keep an eye on the entrance and
the pathways. He is very serious about making sure what had happened to me
won't happen again.

The highlights all of a sudden are interrupted by a special bulletin. I
don't know what crazy politician is interrupting the highlights of the
games, but it better be important. I already missed the games and now I
might miss out on the highlights.

Across the bottom of the screen reads: ----Stay tuned for announcement form
the Governor.----- The same message keeps looping over and over again. A
few minutes passed and in that time the dayroom filled up with inmates and
staff. It seems that everyone wants to see what is going on.

Finally the screen switched from red, white and blue stripes going on and
down the screen, to the picture of the Governor at his desk. The moment he
appeared, it got quiet in the dayroom.

"My fellow Texans, as you all know one of our state prisons has been taken
over by the prisoners that are incarcerated there. I have given the warden
of that prison time to get the prisoners to turn back control of the prison
to the guards. I made it very clear if they don't what we will happen if I
take over.

It has now been over a week since the prisoners got control of the
prison. The warden is no closer to regaining control today than he was the
day that he lost control. One day is one day too many that a group of thugs
control one of our prisons. Now we are heading into week two and we are no
closer to getting the prisoners to surrender back our prison.

I ran for this office little over a year ago with a promise of change in
our prison system. If I allow this to go on any longer, it will be a
campaign promise I break to the voters of this State. I won't break any of
my campaign promises no matter how it might make me look. When the dust
settles and all the facts are in, you, my fellow Texans, will see I make
the hard decisions when needed.

 Too many criminals leave our system just go out and break the law
again. They know nothing more than the prison life they have led in the
past. In return, more than half of the prisoners return back into our
system with even harsher crimes committed. This chain must be broken, and
the only way of breaking the chain is by getting harder.

We throw a huge amount of tax payers' money into a prison system every year
yet every year our prisons get worse and worse. Why should the prisoners
want to live in the free when they have three meals a day, a bed, exercise
yard, and not have to work? Those days are over. In the days to come, I
will unveil a complete overhaul of our prison system.

At this moment we must handle the situation at hand. I am speaking now
directly to the prisoners that took control of this prison, holding staff,
guards, and inmates hostage. I am not a Governor you want to fool with. You
will turn over this prison in the next ten minutes. There will be no more
talks, no more trying to get more time. It is now time for you all to
return to your cells, and the staff of this prison re-takes control of it.

I know the prisoners are watching me at this very moment. This message is
for them alone. I won't lose any of my prisons to those that are inmates of
them. I won't lose any of my prisons to anyone no matter their standing.

Your time to surrender the prison back to the guards and warden has
expired. If you don't turn the prison back over within the next ten
minutes, I will order the National Guard in. They will have standing orders
to shoot on sight any prisoner that isn't on the ground when they enter. I
don't care the standing in which the prisoner is.

I should not have allowed this takeover, rebellion, uprising, or whatever
you want to call it, to last as long as it has. I won't make any deal with
any prisoner that was involved taking control of a prison; that holds
guards, staff or other prisoners hostage.

Those that are responsible for this up rising won't see the light of day
while you are incarcerated with the State. The minute you forcibly took a
life and took over the prison is the moment you gave up your right to be
part of the general population of this prison.

My fellow Texans I promise you I wouldn't order this if there was another
way out. The longer these prisoners stay in control of this prison, the
harder it will to get it back. I won't lose the life of a guard or a
National Guard soldier because these prisoners don't like to be treated in
the fashion they deserve to be treated.

I hope and pray the prisoners make the right decision and peacefully
surrender control back to the prison officials. If they don't, they will
feel the full might of this State upon them. Thank you, God bless you my
fellow Texans. May God show each of us the way out of this peacefully."


As the T.V. screen went to blue, the entire dayroom remained deathly
quiet. I don't know why everyone in this room thinks this is going to
affect them. The only way it will is if the state government cracks down
all the way down to the city level.

I don't want to sit there as everyone looks at me. By now they know my
father is involved with the uprising. In fact he is leading this up
rising. He didn't start it, but he took the reigns of it.

As I walk to my room I can't help but think how free I would be if my
father would be put in permanent lockdown. I can't wish for his death,
because the next in line may want to get rid of all the old family. They
might feel that I am a threat to the leadership of the gang.

Carlos walked with me to my room neither of us saying a word. Even when we
walked into the room, we didn't speak. We sat in the room, in the dark,
just thinking. I have no idea what he is thinking, but you all know already
what I am thinking.

"Alex is this going to affect us in anyway?"

"Right now I really don't know. It all depends on the outcome of this
evening. If my father and the rest give up without a fight, I don't think
so. If they stand their ground, it all depends who makes it out alive," I
said.

"Yeah but even if your father gets killed, the next in line has to respect
the decisions your father made while he controlled the gang," Carlos said
thinking aloud.

"Not really, he doesn't. Every time when I new leader is put into place,
and it isn't a family member of the old one, changes happen. Those changes
are always in leadership of the gang across the nation. What that means for
you and me is simple. I can be removed and killed if another takes control
of the gang."

Carlos and I started to hear screams echoing through the hall. I instantly
got up and headed to the dayroom. Everyone is watching the National Guard
go in and take control of the prison by force. This Governor Lopez is true
to his word.

As I stand and see unit after unit storm into the prison, I can't stop
thinking that my father might not come out of this alive. The Governor
isn't going to take any chances of anyone standing up to him.

Less than thirty minutes has past, but reports have started coming out of
the prison. The National Guard is in control of the prison. Still no
confirmation has yet been made if anyone has died in return of the Governor
using force.

At this moment all I can do is watch in horror. I know it sounds weird for
the way my father is. Still he is better off alive to me, than dead. At
least with him alive, I have a chance of living as well.

About an hour passed since the first reports started flowing out of the
prison. A spokesman walks towards the cameras. The spokesman gets hit with
questions right off, but he just looks straight into the cameras.

"Ladies and gentleman I have a few remarks to make. I won't answer any
questions afterwards. Either the Warden or someone from the Governor's
Office will answer any questions you might have.

As you know the Governor Lopez ordered in the National Guard to take back
control of this prison. The inmates that had control of the prison didn't
put up a fight when the National Guard entered. In return no shots were
fired in this operation.

Although smoke and tear gas bombs had to be used, nothing else was. Once
the National Guard gained entry they put the inmates back in their cells
and the prison control was handed back over to the staff and Warden.

Although I can report there wasn't a death caused by the National Guard,
there are several inmates and two guards dead this evening. A full
investigation will be launched to see who is responsible for these deaths.

We may never actually know which inmate did the actual killing of those
found dead. In return, the State can, and more than likely will file murder
charges on every inmate involved in this uprising.

In the days to come more and more information will be released. As we get
it, you will get it. Again any questions you might have, please direct them
to the Governor's Staff or the Warden. They are the only ones that will
answer questions on this uprising.

As of now I am here to tell you we have control of the prison. There were
no deaths caused by the National Guard, but there are some that did
die. Thank you all for your patience and have a very good evening."

My mind is now more at ease. I know my father isn't among the dead. I can
sleep a little better tonight than I thought I would. Now that I know my
father is going to go into lockdown, I can actually rest a lot more easily
every night.

The news kept going over the same statement over and over again. In fact
they even kept playing bits and pieces of the Governor's statement from
earlier this evening. I decided to call it a night.

Matt walked in right after I did. He looks at me as he shuts the door to
our room. After shutting the door he walks over to my bed and sits down. No
words were spoken, we just started to kiss.

(BOBBY'S POINT OF VIEW)

As I opened my I eyes, I have no idea where I am. The last thing I can
remember is being on the sun roof lifting weights then being approached by
several white guys. We bantered back and forth, and then, oh shit no.

I tried to move my hands over to my dick. But my hands are tied down. Why
are my hands tied down? I started to yell for someone to tell me where I am
at. I want to know if what I am remembering actually happened, or if it is
a bad dream I had.

A nurse walks up to me. At least I think it is a nurse. I looked at her,
hoping she will just tell me what is going on. But she doesn't speak a word
to me. It is up to me to ask what is happening here.

"Ma'am, can you tell me where I am, how long I have been here, and why am I
here?"

"Young man you are in the Infirmary. You have been here since Sunday, and
today is Wednesday. The answer to your final question is a little bit
harder to explain.

You got attacked while you were on the sun porch. If you want to know who
they were, you need to ask the guards about that. All I can tell you is
they did a lot of damage to your reproductive organs."

"How much damage did they do ma'am?"

"They cut off your penis and testicles. We couldn't re-attach them. There
are trials happening right now on re-attaching sex organs, but we are not
part of that trial. Before you ask, you can't be admitted into that trial.

First you are an inmate of the State. Second and most important, the guards
couldn't locate your sex organs. Witnesses say that you had them in your
mouth, but we can't say for certain that happened.

And finally if we even find your sex organs, they are no good to you
now. They needed to either been put on ice right away or frozen. Neither
was done, so I am sorry, you will need to learn to live without them."

How can a man learn to live without a dick? No, I can't do that, no
way. The nurse walked off after she did something to the machine beside my
bed. She left me to my thoughts. That's the worst that anyone can be left
with.

Images of the guys surrounding me, telling me why they are there, and the
cutting my dick off kept flashing through my head! They told me they are
there because what I had done to Alex.

Why didn't Alex just order my death, not this? I can't live without being a
whole man. What man can live without being a whole man? Damn Alex, damn me,
damn it all. What a life I have chosen to lead.

Before I knew it I was out. Thinking about the same things over and over
again! Things I can't fix or change. All I want to do right now is die. The
minute they release my hands, will be the minute I will find a way to take
my life.

I got woken up by someone shaking the hell out of me. Through blurry eyes I
tried to see who is trying to get my attention. No matter how much I
struggle to see clearly, I can't. Still the person is shaking me, trying to
get me to wake up.

"Hey dude I know you are awake, or at least able to hear me. So let me make
this quick essay. You tried to kill off the son of the leader of our
gang. You are very lucky the order was been given to the whites.

We would have thrown out the order and killed you instead. No one tries to
kill the leaders of our gang or family, more so one of our own members. If
you know what is best for you, you won't return to our tank. Get your ass
in protective custody. If you don't, you are a dead man!"

"Why don't you just kill me now essay? I rather die than live the rest of
my life as a gimp. Just kill me now essay!"

Still a very blurry figure standing over me, he just stood there. I can see
colors, and I know he is wearing orange. That means he is an inmate
here. That also means he got sent by the higher ups to deliver me a
message.

"I now see why Alex choice this route. At first I didn't understand it. You
will have to live the rest of your life now remembering the shit you
pulled. One thing we men hold in high regards is having a family one
day. You will never get that chance again. Alex put you in a nightmare for
life."

As his words sank in, I started fading back to sleep. Just before I
completely went to sleep, the guy left. He is right; Alex left me in my own
hell for life. Although he will always walk around with a stab wound in his
back, I will never be able to have a family.

(STEVE'S POINT OF VIEW)

I never told a person in my life what I told Robert. I have known that I'm
gay since I can remember. I have never acted on it. In fact I have gotten
really good hiding not only from everyone around me, but from myself as
well.

Now I am out on a limb with Robert. The kid is scared of his own
shadow. Still that doesn't mean he will never tell a soul about me. That is
why I am wondering now if I made the right decision or if I fucked up
royally.

Don't get me wrong; the last couple of days have been awesome. Robert is
the coolest person anyone could ever meet. In fact if the dude weren't gay,
girls would be jumping all over him. He has the looks and a great attitude
to go along with his looks.

Today Robert and I are going to meet in my room. This is going to be the
first time we are going to be alone since Sunday. I know we are not going
to have sex, but we will at least kiss, I hope. I have wanted to kiss
Robert since Sunday. He has lips that I just want to have on mine. It's
very hard to explain them if you don't see them!

Right after class I get to my room as quickly as possible. I need to make
sure the room is ready for a visit, and make sure my roommate's not
there. Just as I walked in, Robert walked up to the door and knocked.

Well here goes nothing. I opened the door to let Robert in. With Robert
right behind me, we sat on my bed.

"So Robert you getting along with Carlos and Alex better now? I know it is
hard at first, but once you get to know these guys, they are great people
to have in your corner when the chips are down."

"Yeah I have gotten a chance to talk more with Carlos than with Alex. The
main reason for that is we are roommates. He seems very interested in what
I went through while I was in the tank at County."

"Are you telling Carlos anything new, or just repeating the same things
over and over again. Please don't take it wrong. It is..."

"No don't worry Steve, don't worry. So far there's not a thing you can say
or do that can get me mad. You can ask me anything you want and I will try
to answer anything you ask me with total honesty."

"Thanks you for that Robert. You had to have seen some shit while you were
locked up in with that gang. I never made it upstairs when I got
arrested. I have heard rumors how it is up there."

"Yeah I saw some weird stuff. You know put aside that they run the
inmates. This, all this..." Robert points his finger into the air and made
a circular motion around the room. "...is there life and they want to
control it. Me, I just want to do my time and get the hell out of here. But
I have seen some weird stuff.

There was this one time after we ate dinner, well let me first tell you
about this guy in order for you to understand what I am saying here. Let me
start there first.

The guy is maybe in his late forties, maybe early fifties. He has lived on
the street all his life. I don't know what he was locked up for, but it had
to be something more than just standing in the wrong spot. When I left the
cell, he was still there.

Anyways, I don't know if it was because of the sun, or he got hit to many
times in the street, but something made him a little crazy in the
head. Those that ran that tank saw it, and made this poor old guy suffer
for it.

They made him do some weird stuff. Everyday it was something
different. This day, as I started talking to you about took the cake. I
don't know if anything else worse happened to him after I left, but I can
speak about this day.

Like I started to say earlier, it was after dinner one day. They called
this poor old guy over and they smacked him around a few times. Then one of
the room leaders demanded the guy to jump on the table. Of course the old
guy did what they told him.

At first it was only one or two of the guys egging it on. But it changed
once the tank leader started in. Everyone started to rag on this poor guy.

They start hitting the old guy with their towels after they got tired of
saying things to him. Then they got bored with that and they got their
towels real wet. Man, I heard their towels hit the bare skin of this old
guy!

The tank boss ordered the old guy to strip down to his boxers. Once he did
that, he got ordered to dance up there on the table. Of course the old guy
did that. To make things worse, they kept on hitting him all over his body
with the wet towels.

This lasted for almost an hour or so. I know several guards walked by, but
they didn't stop what was going on. Once the tank boss ordered for the old
man to go to sleep, he went to the corner and went to sleep like a dog all
curled up in a ball."

"Man, I never thought anyone could treat a person that way. They really
treated this old guy like trash, as if he was nothing more than a stray
dog. I have always thought this gang had some kind of rules they have to
follow; some kind of code."

"Oh yeah the gang has rules. If a member breaks those rules, there is hell
to pay and every one of them knows that. There are a few that like to push
the envelope to see how far they can take things. I have many more stories
I can tell you."

I sat there as Robert told me many more things he'd witnessed. I couldn't
help but think this poor guy got locked up in the worst tank there is. To
this day neither Alex nor Carlos has shown the kinds of arrogance and
cruelty of those in the tank that Robert was in.

"Robert I better always thank my lucky stars I never had to go through what
you went through. I really hope I don't ever have to go through what you
went through. Hell I would have ran out of there on day one."

Robert agreed with me and went on with his stories. I feel like I am I the
movies with the director telling me the movie. Robert is really opening up
to me tonight. I need to start telling him things about me soon.

(CARLOS' POINT OF VIEW)

I am watching television and the guard that approached me and Alex the
other day out in the courtyard gave me a piece a paper. I really don't care
to know what is written on it but I know I need to find out.

I unfolded it and read the kite. The kite got sent by the whites in the
County downtown. The kite has only a couple of sentences:

---------- Request has been carried out. Your guy got his pay back as
asked. ---------

I get up and walk to Alex's room. I knocked, waited, and then hear Alex say
to come in. I open the door and see Alex at his desk and Matt at his. I am
starting to think there is something going on with these two.

"What is it Carlos? What do you need? I am trying to get this homework out
of the way. You know I have never been good at school. This place is even
worse for me."

"I know what you are talking about man. If you didn't cheat off of me
through elementary I think you will still be in fourth grade." Each of us
chuckled over my remark. "Anyways Alex I got a response back from
downtown."

Alex looked at Matt the minute I finished saying downtown. Matt got up,
walked out of the room, shutting the door behind him. Alex waved me over to
him. As I sat down, Alex took the note from my hand.

I watched him as he read the note. He smiled at me as he handed the kite
back. "That means the whites took care of our little problem then? I need
to get confirmation on it as soon as possible," Alex said with a total
business attitude.

"I figured that, so I dropped a kite to one of our guys in there. The
minute I get the confirmation I will get it to you. If the whites carried
it out already, that means our guys thought something weird was up with
him. That is the only way the whites got to Bobby this quickly."

"I know we always close ranks whenever we see another gang approach one of
our own. If I am sitting in County and see one of the guys return from
there, I will be asking why. Normally if it is a sanction hit, all the main
guys know about it."

"I agree with you Alex one hundred percent. Have you gotten word yet about
your father? Do we know where we stand on that front yet?"

"Right now as far as I know he is alive and still running everything from
lockdown. Even though he is alone in an eight by eight room, the orders are
getting through. I have received a new order from my father already."

"Come on Alex don't keep me in the dark, let me in on it. Does he have any
idea what we are doing down here? I need to know if I have anything to
worry about. You know I like my life. Your father won't hesitate one minute
to order the killing of anyone that he thinks got him caught."

"He was caught because there is no way he could have held onto that
prison. He is lucky for holding on to the prison as long as he did. No, the
order is for us to start the flow of merchandise up again with a few
different items added into the merchandise."

Alex handed me the letter he got from his father. As I started to read the
letter, I realized this letter isn't written by his father. Who, I don't
know, but it is someone in the higher ups. They are the only ones that can
know about the orders.

"Alex you have to be kidding me on this. How in the world are we going to
get this kind of stuff to your father? You know what this stuff is used
for. There is no way, even under our old ways; we can get this stuff
through."

"I know what you are saying Carlos. It is a test I am telling you. My
father is suspecting everyone right now. He knows that somehow the Warden
and guards in his prison found out about what he had. The only way that
they could have found out is if it got leaked."

"We are in trouble man. There is no way out on this. Your farther sent you
this letter that means he thinks it's you. Let's cut our losses now and go
into protective custody."

"No Carlos. Read the letter closer. My name isn't mentioned anywhere in the
letter. In fact no ones name from here is mentioned in the letter including
the location. It is a general letter probably written out to every leader,
in every correctional facility in Texas.

They are trying to weed out who it is. They have no idea right now. Look,
you know that every higher up, in every correctional facility in this
State, knows what is going on. That is the only way things can be handled
if it doesn't work out. You know if my father had been killed, whoever
takes his place, we need to listen to him."

 Just like Alex said, the letter is very general on detail of the
location. It doesn't say any one name or location. This stuff they are
asking for can come out of any of the facilities around the State. Not one
of the items listed could only be sent by us.

"Ok Alex you are right on this. So what are we going to do about it?"

"Do what we always do. I will tell Mr. Henderson about the letter and what
we spoke about. Let him know we need to send it out the old way. That way
it will be caught, and held by the prison. This way we are marked off the
list as not being the ones."

Alex, as always, is right about this. We need to handle it smartly. We need
to handle it the old way and send it the old way. We have not changed the
way we send things, but we have gotten special favors from the guards
looking the other way.

Not with the items. We send it normally and let the guards check everything
like they are supposed to. Even the guards on our payroll can only do so
much as far as merchandise getting through. There is no way this stuff can
get through unless the ones sending it are the ones giving up the
information.

(ALEJANDRO'S POINT OF VIEW)

Finally it's Wednesday and I can go to the store. That's if you can
seriously call it a store. If you have money on your books, every Wednesday
you get to go to the window in the court yard. There you give them what you
want. No inmates are allowed in the store, it is run by the staff.

You can buy pretty much anything you would find at the local grocery store
or Wal-Mart.  The only difference is the price. They mark it up some. And
when I say money on the books, it is another way of saying that I got money
deposited in my account to spend.

Carlos, Matt, Robert and I walked over to the store. Carlos already knows
how it is run and is explaining it to me and Robert. In fact he has a pile
of order sheets with the prices on them. He gave me some and gave some to
Robert as well.

As we reached the window, I couldn't believe the line already. Man these
guys raced down here to get in line first. If this was County, I would just
walk in front of them. Since it isn't, I have to wait my turn. No problem;
it gives me a chance to look over what they have.

As the line moved, I looked as those that went before me walked by. Each
and every one of them is getting me hungry eating their candy bars and
drinking their sodas. It is like Christmas every week here for the inmates.

I got up to the window and handed them my order sheet. I couldn't believe
it, there are inmates in the store working, filling the orders as we come
up. I assumed the inmates are not allowed to work the store. I need to
volunteer for this to work off my community service hours.

One inmate grabbed the stuff on the list, the other rang it up. Once I got
all my stuff, the guard asked me for my inmate number. She typed it into
the computer and charged my account. I grabbed my couple of bags of stuff
and receipt.

Carlos, Robert, Matt and I to head back to our rooms. Matt and I walk into
our room as Carlos and Robert went into theirs. As I put the bags down on
my bed. I looked closer at my receipt I think I see a mistake.

"Hey Matt, come over here and take a look at my receipt. I think they
didn't charge me for my stuff. In fact it looks like the added to my
account instead of taking away from it. I have more money than I started
out with."

Matt took the receipt from my hand and kept looking at it over and over
again. He looks just as confused as I am right now. He kept scratching his
head like a little monkey. Well not a little monkey, I take that back.

"Alex I don't know what's going on here but if it is a mistake it is better
that you bring it to their attention. It looks a lot better on you if you
don't look like you are trying to hide it. You know, you are being honest."

I know Matt is right, but I just don't want to stand in that line again. I
put my stuff away before heading back to the store. This time the line is
actually shorter. In fact the line is actually moving a little quicker than
before.

Once I get up to the window, this time with my deposit slip, I started to
explain to the guard why I am here and gave her both receipts. It looks
like she couldn't believe I actually returned to point out the mistake."

"You know if it was any other inmate in here, they would have said screw
it. Thank you for coming back Alejandro and giving me a chance to correct
my mistake. I rarely make them, but this is one huge one."

She punched in my ID number and looked at the computer. Typed several
things on the keyboard before looking up at me! She is actually smiling at
me.

"Alejandro you got another deposit last week. Let me print out the deposit
receipt for you. Some how you didn't get the receipt! I need to find out
why you didn't get a receipt for this deposit."

"I know why I didn't get a receipt. I was in the medical wing for the week
and most of the time I was under pain medication!" I said having figured
out the chain of events.

"That is why you didn't get your deposit slip. We don't deliver you mail or
deposit slips in the medical wing. Here is your last deposit slip and thank
you for being honest when you thought I had made a mistake."

"That isn't a problem. I am trying so hard to turn over a new leaf. At
times it's hard, but I am getting there. If you would have known me four
weeks ago, I would have run with the money. It wasn't my mistake. See you
next week ma'am!" I said with a smile and I turned to leave.

 All the way back to my room I couldn't believe what I just done and
said. If I saw someone do that four weeks ago, I would have called that
person and brown nose and then beat that person to the ground.

The rest of the week went by pretty quickly filled with classes as normal,
to homework and then being seen by the nurse that Dr. Whitmore has assigned
to oversee my progress. If I get ill, Dr. Whitmore will be called in. There
is no need for him to come all this way to do routine checkups on me.

Saturday rolled around and I just can't stand it anymore. I see Matt
everyday in class, at meals, and then in our room. Not having him all the
way is bothering the daylights out of me right now. I want to have him so
bad! I can't hold it in anymore!

I walk into the room knowing I will find Matt there. I am right and I am
not going to take no for an answer. We are going to go further than we have
in our relationship so far. I know he wants it too because several mornings
this week I got woken up with his mouth around my cock. I love my alarm
clock now!

"Hey Matt I want to ask you a question. Before you say no, hear me out."
Matt shakes his head in the positive as he sits down on his bed. "I am
getting a feeling that you want to do more with me than what we have
already done. I want to do more too. We just have a problem doing it in
here. But I have a plan how we can get it done.

Carlos told me of a spot that we can go to. Whenever Carlos goes to the
medical wing, he gets away and meets up with this girl. They have all the
privacy in the world. I am thinking of us going there later today.

I can get you into the medical wing by helping me out. You know walking
with me because of the pain, something kind of crap like that. Anyways,
once we are in that wing, we can take off after I see the nurse to a
room. What do you think about it Matt?"

"If you think we can get away with it, hell yeah. I have been hitting my
head against the wall trying to figure out on a way we can get together and
do more than we have already. I really want to be with you Alex. You know
that."

"Then it is settled we will do it later today. Just please don't expect
much from me. I have never done any of this before. You know what I mean,
stop laughing." Matt fell over on his bed laughing at what I just said.

"I would think you'd have girls all over you. You are one hot guy! You
should be batting them off with a broom stick. Sorry Alex, I don't mean to
laugh at you. I just never thought I would hear those words coming out of
your mouth."

I started to laugh. Matt is right, those words coming out of my mouth. That
is weird now that I think about it. Anyone that would look at me would
think I have woman whenever I want them. Not because I am handsome, but
because of my position in the gang.

The rest of the day went normal. In fact it seemed this Saturday is going
by faster than the others. I thought it would be like when I was kid before
Christmas. You know, the days before Christmas dragging on. Matt is my
early Christmas gift.

After dinner I only have to wait another hour. As the time clicked down, I
go to get Matt. When I walked into the room, he looks very nervous. I
wonder if he is having second thoughts on the idea.

"Matt are you ok man? If you are having second thoughts on this whole thing
and want to call it quits. If so I will understand. I don't want to put you
on the spot if you are not really ready for anything more than what we have
done so far," I said giving Matt a clear path to back out gracefully.

"No I am ok with going all the way with you Alex. I have wanted this since
I met you. I just feel uncomfortable doing this the way we are doing it. I
don't want to get caught Alex. I can't make it in Building "B"."

"We won't get caught Matt, I promise. Carlos does it all the time. To this
day he hasn't gotten caught yet. Please trust in me and I will make sure
nothing happens. If anything I will go to Building "B" if we get
caught. You can say I am forcing you to have sex."

Matt nodded his head in the positive as he got up. We walked out of the
room to the medical wing. The guard at the entrance is Danny Castro. He
waved us through without even giving me or Matt a second look.

As we walk through I look over at Matt. Man the smile on his face could
lighten this entire hallway if the lights went out. I take his hand into
mine and squeeze it a couple of times before letting go.

Just as I walk in the nurse grabs me. She is always here as I walk
in. There's no waiting. I like that. We walk in, she checks my vitals and
then I remove my shirt so she can check my wound. She needs to make sure it
is healing right and no infection is setting in.

Less than ten minutes the nurse has checked me from top to bottom. The last
thing she needs to do is change my bandage and I'm done. I jumped up from
the bed, made my way to the door thanking the nurse as always. You know in
a sweet caring way.

In a hurry, I hit Matt to let him know I am done. As I start to walk down
the hall, Matt is right behind me. My attention at the moment isn't on
Matt. It is finding the room that Carlos told me about.

Over and over again I repeat in my mind: three doors down, after turning
right out of the nurse's office. The door should be unlocked, and yeah I
turn the handle and we are in. I walk in pulling Matt to follow.

As I turn on the light to the room, I shut the door and push Matt to the
middle of the room. Not wasting anytime, I start to pull off his
shirt. Matt copies every move I make like me taking off his shirt he starts
to take off mine.

As we stumble around the room, taking off our shoes, I fall on top of Matt
on the bed. This room used to be the old nurse's office before they added
the new wing, the wing in which Matt and I are I right now. Once that wing
got built, the medical staff got a new office as well. In return, it left
this office for us to fool around in.

Matt and I start to kiss one another on any flesh we can get our lips on. I
can't believe how much stumbling around we are doing right now. I know he
is afraid, but I don't think I am afraid.

I started to calm down and I kissed my way down Matt's chest to his awesome
nipples. These nipples I have seen day in and day out in the shower since I
got here. These nipples I have wanted to kiss every waking moment. Now I
have them in my mouth. I love every minute of it!

Kissing my way down to Matt's bellybutton, without consciously thinking
about it, I stick my tongue in. It drives Matt wild. I see it does this to
him so I kept my tongue in his bellybutton just to drive him even crazier.

Matt's dick is already jumping around in his pants. Even with his jeans on
I can see Matt's dick trying to push its way free. I need to help free his
dick. I know I will get the thank you I have wanted for weeks.

Just as I start to unbutton Matt's pants, he flips us over. He kisses me on
the lips first and starts his journey down to my chest and then to my
belly. When he sticks his tongue into my bellybutton, I feel what he was
feeling when I was doing the same thing to him. Man it is driving me crazy!
In fact it is making my dick even harder. I would have never guessed that
my BELLYBUTTON would be such a turn on point!

I know Matt sees my dick pressing against my pants. I know he sees it, why
doesn't he just help it get free? Come on Matt, set my dick free. Just
then, Matt starts to unbutton my jeans. I wonder if he can read my mind or
what.

In one quick pull, Matt has my jeans down to my ankles, followed by my
boxers. Before I can even take a breath and settle into a more comfortable
position Matt's down all the way on my dick and is sucking it. He's also
fondling my balls, rolling them in the sack and massaging them. He's held
them before when he's sucked me, but these movements are a new
wrinkle...one I'm loving!

I am used to his mouth around my dick since he has started waking me up
every morning with a blow job. It isn't taking me long to reach climax, I
need to warn Matt.

"Matt, please stop sucking me man. I am about to explode and I want this to
last a little longer. You are getting me hot all over man."

Matt let my dick go and grinned. What is he thinking? That grin means
something's up. My question is answered as he flips me over. He is still
between my legs, now my stomach is against the bed. Matt spreads my butt
cheeks. I can't believe this is going where I suspect it is. He put his
tongue into my butt hole, probing my most sacred and private place. I start
to shiver and shudder all over my body. I wonder if this is the kind of
feeling I have made many women feel in the past. No matter that, just
please don't let this end!

I heard Matt spit into my butt crack, then again and again. "Alex I need
you take a deep breath. It is going to hurt at first, but you will get used
to it. I promise I will go slowly with you. I won't just pound my dick into
your ass" Matt assured me. God, this guy is taking charge of this business
like I run the gang business. He's not to be questioned. I already know
that dynamic!

Before I could answer Matt, He pressed his dick against my hole. "Alex,
push like you're trying to take a dump," Matt commanded. At first it
wouldn't give way, but then when I pushed, it did. Matt's dick slid in so
naturally, it surprised me. Slowly he started to go in. Inch by inch Matt
filled my ass with his dick. Yeah, it hurt, but the hurt is fading fast. I
was so enthralled with the feeling of this guy I love slipping inside me.

Once I felt his chest against my back, he stopped. Matt started to lean
into me until his lips started to kiss the back of my neck. I feel warm all
over. I feel like I have never felt before. I never want Matt to take his
dick out of my ass. Yeah it hurts, but the hurt is going away like Matt
said it would.

"Are you ready Alex? I you ready for a ride you like you have never been
on? I will be gentle with you, I promise;" Matt again assured me. He is
telling me how things are going to go leaving no doubt who was running this
show.

Matt slowly began moving his dick out of my ass. Just as his dick is about
to completely come out, he slides it back in just as slow as he pulled out!
Little by little Matt gained speed, until he got into a rhythm.

I can't begin to explain the way this is feeling. I'd have never thought I
would like a dick in my ass. Boy am I wrong about that! I love every minute
of his dick sliding up and down, in and out of my ass. I don't know what it
is hitting as it goes completely in, but whatever it is, it is driving me
crazy and sending shockwaves though my entire body and my mind!

My dick is so damn hard I am afraid it moving on the bed it's going to go
off. With all these feelings I know it isn't going to take much to make me
cum. I love the way Matt is making me feel right now. I love him inside of
me so much I start to moan. At first very low, but the more he fucks me, I
start to moan louder. Now there's another thought...I'm being FUCKED! It's
so right yet the concept is still foreign to everything I ever thought
about myself regarding sex.

"Alex please stop moaning man or we are going to get caught. Put your shirt
or underwear in your mouth, but stop moaning so loud!" Matt said again in
his command mode.

I started to feel around the floor for my shirt. I don't know if I found
mine, but I stuck the shirt in my mouth. I know I am not going to stop
moaning. In fact I think I might even get louder. Matt is just driving me
crazy right now.

It didn't take long to realize what I dreaded was about to happen. There is
no way I am going to last much longer. I need Matt to get out of me. Not
that it isn't feeling good, totally the opposite. I some how reach my hand
around Matt and I move us both.

Somehow I end up getting Matt on his back and me on top of him. How in the
world I did that, I don't know. I just hope I didn't hurt Matt in any
way. By the look on his face, I didn't.

I lifted his legs over my shoulder and started to eat out Matt's ass giving
him as good as I had been given. Just like I did, Matt started to moan. I
spit several times into Matt's hole to lube it up. I looked at my
dick. Seeing all the pre-cum leaking out of it I knww I don't need any
lubrication.

Just like Matt did for me, I slowly started to push my dick into
him. Through my cock I feel his hole open and invite my cock in as he
pushed down just like he told me to do. Man is this guy fucking tight as
hell. I have never felt any hole this damn tight. I stopped not only to be
sure not to hurt Matt, but to help me out. If I go in any further right now
I am going to explode before I have the chance to begin fucking the hell
out of Matt.

As I rested I notice the big smile on Matt's face. Although he has his eyes
closed. He is smiling from ear to ear right now. I am so glad he is
enjoying this. I know I am. I have to admit I liked it most with him inside
of me.

After I caught my breath, I continued to move in. Just as I got completely
in, I did what Matt did to me and give him a kiss. I loved it when he was
inside of me as he kissed. I want to return the favor and hope he feels the
same way he made me feel.

Slowly I pulled my way out of Matt's tight ass. Just as my head starts to
peek out, I reverse direction starting my way back down deep into
Matt. Slowly I started to get faster and faster. With my pants and
underwear still at my ankles, I start to slam Matt's ass harder and faster.

Matt put in the shirt I had in my mouth in his in to muffle the moans. He
is feeling what I was feeling. I am hitting him in the same spot he hit me
each time he slammed his dick into my gut. I need to find out what the hell
we are hitting that is driving us so fucking crazy!

I just can't hold it in anymore. I have crossed over the peak and I know
resting isn't going to stop me from hitting my climax now. I am to far gone
into the fucking to be able to stop.

"Oh Matt you have one awesome ass. Words can't explain the way you are
making me feel. You are awesome dude, you are awesome. I am about to cum
Matt, I am..."

Just then I started to shoot into Matt's ass and the door opened. I looked
over to the entrance and see Carlos standing there. I thought I locked the
door when we came in. Oh man Carlos doesn't look happy at all.

"What the fuck man? Why in the world are you fucking the hell out of your
roommate Alex? What the fuck man?"

Before I could even answer, Carlos turned around. I pulled my dick out of
Matt's ass, seeing that he actually started to cum as well. I started to
run after Carlos at the same time trying to pull up my pants. I started to
yell for Carlos to stop.

"Carlos stop I can explain man, stop!"

I have no idea what I am going to say to him. All I know is I have to come
up with it fast. As I got out of the room, I finally had my pants pulled
up. Carlos stopped and turned around facing me.

"Carlos man gives me a chance to explain to you what you just walked
into. It isn't what you think at all. Let me..."

"What, Alex? I didn't catch you with your dick in the ass of your roommate?
What, you weren't fucking your roommate? Is what you are going to tell me?
I am seeing things then Alex? When I walked in there, you were fucking your
roommate man."

"Lower your fucking voice Carlos. No matter what, you will fucking respect
me. What you saw in there is right, but..."

TO BE CONTINUED...

OVER VIEW:

{Oh shit! Alex and Matt got caught screwing around by Carlos. By the looks
of it Carlos is pissed off. How is Alex going to get himself out of this?
He needs to come up with something fast to tell Carlos and it needs to be
believable to Carlos as well.

Carlos on the other hand, what was he doing there? So far it seems as if he
is alone. Is he following Alex? Does he has a secret crush in Alex, but
never told him. Now it's too late if that is the case. You guys have the
answer to this question if you have been reading this story each time I
have been posting. The answer is right in front of you.

Can you believe the test Alex's father put on the boys? If it was up to
Carlos, they would have went running to lockdown. He didn't read the letter
close enough to see what Alex saw. Alex's father has no idea who gave up
the information. He is on a fishing trip for information right now.

Then there is Robert and Steve. Who knew that Steve is gay? We all knew
since day one that Robert is. He told us his story when he was being asked
by the guard on why he was in lockdown in County. He got caught looking at
a fellow inmate. That is a no, no, in County or Prison. I really hope these
two make a good couple. It is about high time that Robert gets something
good in his life.

Don't count Alex's father out yet. He wasn't in this chapter, but he isn't
out. Yeah the Governor sent in the National Guard to take back control of
the prison but that doesn't mean Alex's father can't run things any more.

Did you catch who the Governor is? If you guys can't tell yet, all three of
my stories are entwined into each other. You will see appearances from
characters in each story in the other stories. So if you are only reading
this one, you need to read "Shadow of My Father" and "Jacob, Finding His
Way". There are going to be things done in those stories that aren't going
to be mentioned in this one and the same goes with the others.

 So many open plots and so many new plots opening! Finally we got a sex
scene in this story. It is about time these got to it. Don't miss the next
chapter or you will regret it. The answer to what Carlos is going to do
will be there. Alex's father, Mr. Henderson, Officer Jackson, Bobby,
Samuel, and on and on an on will pop up on us in the next chapters to
come. Plots and more plots are going to open and some will come to a close
as well.

I don't want to say too much more and spoil the future chapters to come, so
I won't. I warn you though! Don't skip a chapter, or you will be lost.
There is a so much to answer in the chapters to come. Keep reading the
future chapters, and enjoy! Please email me (and me too! ED) and let me
know how I (we are..ED) am doing at jacobmillertex@aol.com, Thanks!}

EDITOR'S CORNER: Ok...I'm wiped out after all the excitement in this
chapter!  WHEW! Well, Jacob doesn't give us much in the way of sex scenes,
but when one happens, it's good and right! Well done, Jacob!

There's not much I can say of substance after Jacob's synopsis!  What a
shame Carlos had to mess up "the moment" for Alex and Matt. Those two
didn't waste time rounding the bases. They just went for the home run!
They must really be deeply in love to have had it go as easily as it did
for their first time.  Wait a second...was this Matt's first time to be
topped?  I figure he's topped before since he knew to coach Alex, but now I
wonder if he'd been topped before. Hmmm...

There's another question I have niggling in the back of my mind.
Mr. Henderson knew exactly what did and didn't go on with Carlos and his
girlfriend. Will they now know about Alex and Matt in intimate detail?
They could both be in hot water if that's the case. Did Carlos fail to
inform Alex about the surveillance?

I hope Alex and Matt will be able to make a go of things. Matt is helping
Alex to "get right" in his mind and his actions.

Ahhhh...the power of love.

Until next time,

"Daddy" Rick
