In an effort to satisfy the needs of funding bodies, government statistics, the service of justice to broader society and a humane approach to custodial sentencing, a prison service has to sustain a complex juggling act. It remains a most difficult and frustrating conundrum for society and an appearance of progress must be displayed to satisfy those who are asked to pay for the service through taxation and those at the top of the administrative pyramid who are ultimately answerable to them. As with other apparently insoluble social riddles, a new initiative is always required to show, using carefully manipulated statistics, that the utmost effort is being made to improve matters. This initiative fails to meet its objectives and is eventually superseded by the next one.
Dursley, buzzing from his work-out, felt like a million dollars, his torso rippling under his short sleeved uniform shirt, chest high and nipples standing proud and more than a little turned on by what he had so recently witnessed in the gym, was still grinning from ear to ear as he let himself into the security department building and mounted the odd, 19th century stairs which led to the office on the first floor. His bubble was only a little deflated by the news that Singleton was in conference with the governor and the senior probation officer. It could wait.
Bob Kirkland had generated enough respect with his younger colleagues, that his team would emulate his work ethic, keep their heads down and get on with the job, not to mention record what they saw and heard as Dursley breeze through.
Overconfident as he was, Dursley was wary of staff from security, quite rightly, he felt ostracised and so he elected to save his verbal report for the following day and promptly left the building, tight lipped.
His large, black leather hold-all, alway in and out through the main gate but never searched, swinging slightly less jaunty by his side, Dursley passed with a wink through the security cordon at the main gate and walked to his car. The black Mercedes was incongruous among the tatty old vehicles and tiny city runabout cars the prison staff usually ran, Dursley knew well that myopic institutions, pressed for staffing to sustain basic functions, would never notice but it was all these very things running through Bob Kirkland's mind as Dursley left. Sooner or later something or someone would connect. Bob would find a way to rid himself and the prison service of Lee Dursley.
Meanwhile, the nugget of information Dursley delighted in was too incredible to be leaked in simple tittle tattle gossip, there was time to think about how to use it well, meanwhile the cocky bodybuilder needed fuel. He flicked open his phone and dialled the answering service, then headed for the Mall.
Not for the first time, Bob Kirkland brooded on the 'cleft stick' he found himself in. A powerful and dangerous boss who could make Bob's whole family a target if he acted against their unlawful activities and a courier who walked in and out of the prison every working day with illegal substances and the potential for all manner of dangerous situations for staff and inmates alike. He knew he needed a little luck.
Bob had been off duty when Ellis had been summoned to the security chief's office so the matter had been reported to him dutifully by one of the young officers present on the afternoon lock-down when Doug had arrived for that dreadful "interview". Who was in the escort party? None other than Dursley. Who was it that stayed, the sole witness to Singleton's interview? Oh! Dursley! There were no raised voices, no sounds of struggle, the abrupt movement of furniture? The meeting had lasted some 45 minutes, medical staff had arrived, 2 big, uniformed men, the interviewee was then brought out apparently semi-conscious but with no visible signs of abuse nor any dishevelment in the appearance of either the security chief or his minion. So, a cozy chat? Was the prisoner drugged?
So many questions flooded Kirkland's mind. Who is Doug Ellis? What's he in for? Why of all the lifers was Singleton interested?
The routines and pitfalls of working life kicked over his curious enquiry, all that would have to wait. So he quickly copied the brief report of the incident, left the original in the appropriate locker, by the book, he was obliged to but knowing that Singleton would not imagine an incident had been logged on the matter. If his boss did go looking or was tipped off that Kirkland was interested it would certainly be destroyed, so on the way to a cell search Bob paid a brief visit to the gym office with the special copy in a document wallet tucked out of site in his clipboard.
At the gate, a huge officer ducking under the lintel as he emerged escorting Dent, one of the trustees / orderlies a man of comically contrasting proportions, who worked for Harry Bantock. As Kirkland nodded recognition and closed the gate behind them, he noticed that the tiny office at his right smelled of something other than cleaning fluids and the overheated body of Harry himself but without even a shrug Kirkland got on with his brisk business, handed the file to Harry who instinctively took it , read it's brief contents without a word and locked it in his own filing cabinet. Nothing much sunk in about it's content but the name "Ellis, Douglas" and the prisoner number. He was already so freaked, his expression couldn't change, Kirkland could see his old friend was 'under the weather' but he was on his way elsewhere. The less that was said and the less that was seen, the safer they would all sleep.
Kirkland pressed on towards his team conducting cell searches and left Harry with a brief but warm handshake. As he turned with a little too much haste towards the door his heel slipped very slightly on a trace of moisture on the floor, dismissing it as a drop of sweat without really losing his rhythm, he left.
Shocked, panicking, still sweating and totally cummed out, Harry jumped up immediately, grabbed a paper towel and wiped away the smear of Dent's semen that had escaped their hurried recovery from ecstatic and mindless lust, Harry had tried to get his appearance back into some kind of order just as the officer arrived to escort Alun Dent back to his cell. There was no time for cleaning and the smell of their carnal fun was filling the cramped spaces just inside the gym-house gate. Dent had stuffed his truncheon-like meat into his baggy jogging bottoms and the bouncing parcel of genitals could not have escaped the notice of his escort, so bold and wriggling and flagrant were it's movements, not to mention the line of moisture it described as it wiggled around.
Bantock returned to his chair to let the buzzing in his brain and the sweet aching in his empty man-tanks come into some sort of equilibrium where it would be safe to carry out the rest of the day's duties. His eyes were locked wide open, staring into his imagination at what he'd done and trying to see past it into what he should do about it.
Suddenly remembering the file on Ellis and needing a distraction, he unlocked his filing cabinet, took out the file and read it as carefully as his elevated blood pressure and frazzled nerves would allow. What could Singleton have wanted with Ellis? If he'd been a security risk in any way Bob Kirkland would have been onto him. Couldn't be drugs, Ellis is super clean, totally committed to his strength and fitness, no way he'd courier shit for those creeps. Maybe that was it, he refused... No way! There was no sign of a struggle, no abrasions serious bruising or wounding when he was taken to the hospital and if there had been a struggle, even cuffed, Bantock knew that Ellis would have left some damage on the two officers present. Also the report said that he was semi conscious, so had Singleton Drugged him? To what purpose? Information? He really needed to speak to Bob.
Dent, meanwhile, was escorted to the porch of the wing where he would usually reside. The officer escorting suddenly put a headlock on the smaller man and shoved a huge hand like a catcher's mitt down the front of Dent's pants. Grabbed the whole jiggling packet of sexual organs around the base of his cock and pulled hard on the ensemble before releasing just as quickly and clapping the same paw across the startled squawk which Dent had just begun let loose. The towering figure lowered it's head to his ear and whispered "As I suspected, a concealed weapon."
Dent felt himself lifted in the headlock just off the floor. He instinctively reached up to grab the forearm to relieve pressure on his neck, as he gasped he felt a familiar swelling where his lower body weight rested against that of the massive guard, who's monstrous free hand now reached into the back of his pants and through the tangled swamp of black hair thrust a long fat thumb against Dent's puckered arse hole. Dent managed to splutter "It's all yours if you'll put me down somewhere safe." and as he felt his feet back on solid ground the blunt end of that great digit plopped inside Alun's body.
