Welcome! Perhaps, welcome back! If you're looking for a recap in order to remember who and what you're dealing with or you just stumbled on this as a new story hoping for a hot one, I recommend you go back to earlier in this series. I had to. it's been seven years since I wrote the last episode and I'd forgotten it completely until somebody, at the end of episode 9 left a comment asking me to finish it. Six years ago, the story went right off the rails into very dark territory. Three more murders and all kinds of macabre stuff. It's not what these experiences are about and if you wanted crime fiction you wouldn't be looking here. Given the course my life was taking it doesn't surprise me that I never submitted those episodes.

It's a fact of life that you get a good thing going and somebody wants in on it.
Call it jealousy, call it survival, it doesn't matter. You're making a killing, someone wants a piece of it and is prepared to take it from you. You have a relationship which impinges on some third party who does not enjoy those benefits, sooner or later they will put a spoke into your rolling wheel.
The legitimacy of how that process happens is what laws are about. If it's the tax officer at the door? Well, that's sanctioned by society, although when it comes down to it, we all think it is criminal when they make off with our hard earned money. Compare that to some street urchin putting a gun in your guts and demanding money and you have a crude model for why prisons exist and how, ultimately, they work or don't work.

Lee Dursley has been waiting for a long time to find out who is at the door. Musclebound, half naked and dazed from disturbing dreams, lying in a congealing pool of his own cum, he hears another, more urgent knock.
Meanwhile, his unofficial boss, security chief, Singleton, who appears to have the entire prison in the palm of his hand, has been in conference with the prison governor for far too long. He has missed urgent calls from Dursley about a fatal shooting that could destabilise his complacent view of the lucrative little business he'd got going in and out of the jail.
Ellis lay on his bunk meditating. The turmoil of his past life safely locked away, thinking of his training objectives and how he could best make use of his 3 half hour weights sessions per week, what exercise could he do in the confines of the cell and how best he could supplement the bland and meagre diet on the wing.
Harry Bantock, PT Senior Officer, was off duty, mulling over the massive changes brought on him having had another man touch his erection and having spattered his cum all over a fellow serving officer in the prison gym.
His mind raced as he also remembered his instant, instinctive reaction to the sight of Alun Dent's disproportionate dong, his diminutive protege then taking his throbbing cock right into his throat and gulping down the gym instructors jizz as if it was mana from heaven, then while he was dazed and confused the little guy licked and kissed his arse and tunnelled away into his hole, not only unbidden but with extreme enthusiasm, prodding into Bantock's body and generating sensations he'd never imagined a man could experience, bucking his hips for more and nearly buckling under. the power of the orgasm it gave him.
What more could there be? His imagination was wild but he was so fearful.
Out of curiosity, barely rational, panting and quivering with guilt and excitement, as the thick warm juice spurted and oozed out of the head of his raging hard-on, he tentatively put the goo to his lips to taste. Strange. Sweet. Peppery.
Calmer, his pulse slowing, he played with its gelatinous mass as he pondered what had happened and what could befall if Dent blabbed about what had happened. Fingers unconsciously wound into the tangle of hairs on his taught belly and he thought of the potency of this goo, where it had come from in his body, how it might start a new life both literally and metaphorically and then, more soberly, he thought how it could wreck his career and his friendships if he couldn't get the beast inside him under control.
In the afterglow of orgasm, Harry longed to know more. He longed to know how Dent could just open his mouth and take cock without thinking. How could he put the whole of Harry's fat erection into his mouth anyway, into his throat and not even gag, actually get a thrill off it fucking into his face.
Burnt in, retina images, pulsated in his mind.
He genuinely thought he was going crazy. His thoughts darted from here to there. It was like a whole new universe had opened up in front of him. A world of lust and pleasure but also a chasm into which he could fall at any moment. His experiences of sex with women all seemed too formal and contrived. There was none of the explosive spontaneity, the raw power. Sure, he could get excited, he was expected to do the driving. Okay, he'd miss the closeness, the warmth, the love (had he only ever felt....what exactly?). Was it possible to have that too? He had to talk to somebody.
He thought about the prison counselling service, available to all staff. They were dedicated and he'd seen them work wonders on despairing colleagues amongst the uniform staff. Too close for comfort though, it's supposed to be confidential but everyone knows you're seeing the counsellors. He needed something more independent. The Samaritans?

Dursley hadn't showed up for his shift. A call put through to the Prison gate told Singleton that Dursley had deposited his keys that morning, after the night shift and had not re-entered the institution. No call had come in to report sickness or accident but Singleton was sure that Dursley would report in to him before all else. Since the early afternoon, no further attempt to contact him had been made.
Singleton was an angry man. Deep down, angry and frustrated that his potential was not recognised. His seniority at the freemason's lodge gave him a certain satisfaction as it granted him leverage with both his boss, the prison governor and the head of the local police department. He considered both to be weak and lily livered liberals. It also gave him a veneer of respectability, as did his long suffering (loving) wife and their 3 children (so much more an emphatic statement of his manhood than 2).
Hard men get used to making tough decisions. They cannot deal in sentiment and wishy washy compromises. Singleton didn't worry about situations, he dealt with them. Being right wasn't about rules and regulations it was about being right. He ran a simple, profitable operation, the paymasters paid, everyone was satisfied. Doubts and anxieties were for weak men.
Dursley, he knew, was a tight lipped operator, as much disliked as he was liked. Or rather respected. Singleton knew that Dursley was, to some extent, feared. Like himself, Dursley knew the pleasure that intimidating relationship could bring. He easily mistook fear for respect, one of many chinks in the armour of any bully. For that was, after all, what these two men shared. The joy of bullying.
As head of security, Singleton could go anywhere in the institution, unlock any door, including the governor's office, even the governor's filing cabinet. He despised the governor and his assistants, who sucked up to prison reformers and to volunteers like the prison visitors. Outsiders, toffs, graduates with fancy ideas which jeopardised discipline. Without discipline the prison would be overrun by the inmates.
Like everyone else who'd been raised before the revolution in communications technology brought about by the smart phone, Singleton had underestimated its potential. Younger colleagues had argued that it was the key to future security, that controlling it's ubiquitous capabilities was crucial in a world where inmates would be as skilled at manipulating its uses as any authority. Little did he know that his own man was tracked by his mobile, spied on by his mobile, that half the prison knew Dursley carried it in and out of the prison illegally and was paid, with all kinds of favours for the use of it.

"Thank you! Yes. I'll try their number." Bantock hung up the landline he'd used to call the Samaritans and looked at the scrap of paper in front of him for what seemed like minutes before he could bring himself to dial.
