Eugene lay in his cell. He had gotten comfy on his bunk and was trying to catch up on some sleep he'd missed from the night before after two of the inmates had been shouting or screaming most of the night. Not only that but the screws had also been shouting to keep the noise down. But still only a few more weeks and he'd be out of here.
His breathing had slowed down. His thoughts drifting almost to sleep when one of the hall screws had knocked on the door and shouted "longbottom......you've got a visitor" he slung his feet round before muttering "who the fucks come to see me!" He said as his feet hit the floor sliding from his top bunk.
He grabbed his sweater and followed the gaurd. Quickly getting it on as the main hall was like an ice block all year. He followed him down a flight of stairs & through to infirmary. Why the hell was He going there? Perhaps the doctor had come back to check his ribs or his nose.
He caught a glimpse of someone through the door. Perhaps it was a lawyer. He looked again.......surely it couldn't be? After all this time?
He walked through the door before speaking.........."Ruth?"
