"My office now," I said to Dante. I looked back up at the girl and had a small blush. "Evening miss. How is your stay here?" James said with a small smile.
DeletedUser
"Yes Sir," I replied, noticing how he blushed at the girl. I opened the door and stepped inside his office.

Rolf shook his head. He wondered how it was possible to get ignored, just because some girl, who had no business being here, had bumped into James. Rolf decided to wait outside the office, just like Dante had, for James to admit him to have a conference.

Kurtis was put back into his cell. He shook his head and said. "I guess Ill just stay here for a while." Hay you there,guard i want to see Rolf."

I managed to get some sleep. The next morning, the prisoners were to do the following: exercise, eat leftovers, sleep some more, wrestle other prisoners, write letters, or work in the garden. I avoided the garden because the officers did every job except any job that requires going near the compost pile. But I was planning on talking to the Warden. The rules say nothing about meeting the Warden for improvements of the prison. I learned that because my dad used to write letters to me before he got shot 6 years ago.
So, I put my random plan into action.
I walked in the Warden's office and told him of an idea of how to boost the morale of the prisoners. After I finished, the Warden stood up and in an angry voice muttered "You want to build a BASEBALL FIELD?!?!?"
"Yup. That is my idea."
"How do I know you're not trying to get the equipment to escape?"
"I assure you, it's not."
"Speaking of escape...." He added, not in his angry mood anymore.
"Isn't it weird how my bodyguard's revolver disappears right after I leave your cell, and it turns up when a cell-mate of yours tries to escape?"
"Actually, now that you mentioned it, it does seem kind of weird."
"Huh? You agree with me? Just.... Just leave."
"Ok sir. I'll leave." I left quickly, expecting the Warden to pull out a revolver from his desk and shoot me. But, he just laid down in his chair.
This is going better than I thought. Now to irritate James West. I thought to myself as I went to the garden to work....

James had gone to his office the night before and gave a long talk to both Rolf and Dante. "YOU TWO!!! Now you two will watch prisoners for me. You will keep track, get bonuses, and you Dante, you'll get better food and you won't have to deal with a steaming hot iron," James said to both of them. "Tell me in the morning your views on this. I need some sleep!!!" James again as they left his office and he finally got some sleep.
The next morning, he woke up to hearing the Warden yell at a prisoner. "Meh," I said to my groggy and drowsy self.

Justin heard a moaning sound in the next cell. The new prisoner definitely did sound like a woman. He decided to leave her alone. He sat wondering if the guard would forget about the plate he had just broken.
He wished he could communicate with the other prisoners. But, alas, he sat alone in the darkness. It then occurred to him that his solitary confinement might actually be a blessing; he didn't have to participate in the hard labor that the other prisoners were subjected to. When he first got here all he did every day was swing the pickaxe. The stone dust covered him from head to toe. They hardly ever got to wash that stuff off.
This made him think of his appearance; something he had not done in a long time. He felt his hair. It was getting long, and he now had a full beard . . .

Still soar from last night, I decided to head back to my cell. I layed down on my cot, thinking about what James had told me. It sounded like a good offer, but I would have to watch the other inmates. And I know how much I hate it when people are always watching me. I needed to know more before I actually took up the offer. With a guard escort, I went to James office. I knocked on the door and waited for a response.

"Come in Dante," James said as he wrote down reports at his desk. The door opened to show James was smoking a cigar and there was a glass of wine open on his desk. "What do you need?" James said as he stopped writing and put down his quill.

I walked in, standing infront of his desk. "I need more details of what excatly my job would be. Just watch the prisoners? I'm kind of confused," I replied, hoping he wouldn't get mad again.

In the morning, Virginia knocked softly on her Uncle’s office door. Hearing no response, she opened it slightly and found him dozing in his chair. A glass of port sat next to the numerous documents scattered over his desk. Behind him was a tact board covered with various papers and articles he had collected over many weeks. There were several sets of keys hanging on the wall next to the door. Above them were little black plaques engraved with a cell number. Not wanting to wake him, Virginia quietly closed the door and started to leave. There were several offices along the hall. Each of them had a sign on the door which read the officer’s name. Across from her Uncle’s office was a large door that led to a balcony overlooking the fort’s courtyard. She ventured outside the door and saw dozens of prisoners working below. Her heart wrenched as she saw the way they were being treated. Suddenly, she heard footsteps behind her…

"Talk to Rolf," James said to him as he left the room. A few minutes later, James stood next to the girl and said,"It's a way of life. These prisoners hurt people, so we treat them the way they treated humanity. With pain." James looked down at the men and said,"Some others choose an easier path to take. They side with the government and there life is not as miserable. I am here for two reasons. As a corrections and questions officer, and I am secretly an inspector. I check to make sure your uncle here doesnt go over his boundries. He hasn't.....yet. But, most people in this position do."

"Thanks for the help," I said to myself. I left his office as he walked out. The Fort was a big place. It could be hard trying to find somebody in it. But luckily, when I was walking down one of the corridors, I ran into Rolf. "Rolf, I need to ask you something," I said to him.

Virginia glanced at the man speaking to her. She remembered colliding with him the night before, and shyly looked back at the men working below. She thought about his words, and new he was probably right about her Uncle. She was glad that there was at least one kind man in charge at the Fort. "When I was in my Uncle's office earlier, I couldn't help but notice the documents on his desk. Didn't most of these boys simply get caught up in the wrong side of the war?" she asked looking up at him.

"Half of 'em. I was former Confederate myself. I act Union and your uncle here doesn't suspect anything. I'm a questions officer though. I only look at the real prisoners, not the former Confederates," James said as he put his hand on the rails."Your uncle here has been fighting charges of inhumane treatment. If those are true, somebody has to become the new warden. They asked me, but I declined. Soon as this is over, I just want to settle down, get married. I'm 37 and sure I've been around the block, but I'm thinking bout havin a family," James said with a smile towards Virginia.

I asked an infantry officer for a job, and he offered the job to dig away one of the compost piles. I went to the closest one, grabbed the shovel and started working. The smell didn't bother me because I couldn't smell. Bones, slime, rotten food, and stuff I don't want to know. I didn't pay attention to where I was flinging the stuff for a while, then I stopped and looked back at where I was swinging the compost at. I could see an open window, and some slime dripping from the frame. I knew that was James West's office, but I think he's out of his office or something. I just shrugged and continued flinging the compost through Jame's window...

James looked toward his office and his eye twitched. "Mother....," James said as he took his revolver and turned to the door. "I'll be right back," James said with a smile as he closed the door. He went and found the man throwing slime into his office. "YOU THERE!!!!" James said as he grabbed the man's shovel and threw it into the pile. He twisted the man's arm and heard a snap. James pointed the pistol at the man's head and said,"Clean my office scum, or I make you part of that pile. Petty thief." James kicked the man in the face and then walked back.

James ran to find out what happened. James yelled at some guards to go to the noise. "MOVE IT MOVE IT!!!!!" James yelled as they all ran to the source of the noise.
