The Detention Centre hadnât been too bad I suppose. I soon learnt to tell them what I they wanted to hear. I become skilled at crying convincingly, making my eyes wide and sorrowful, yes of course I was sorry, and wanted to make amends for the things I had done. Yes I understand how badly I had disappointed my mother blar blar fucking blar. Like I gave a shit about her?
I attended all my social work evaluations and eventually they said I was âreformedâ enough to go home. How many times did they need to remind me that at my age I would be admitted to a womenâs prison should I get in trouble again? Six months in that damn place and I was dying to get out and have some fun. Pussy was ok, but nothing beat a good hard cock and I intended to get me some. They even staffed the place with all female guards. Some of them had proved useful after they got what they wanted from me, but I was never destined to be a dyke. This cunt of mine liked cock far too much. Waving goodbye to the other girls I headed off for my last meeting with the Governor, prior to my release.
Knocking politely on the door I waited to be called in like a model inmate. I could hear a manâs voice and the Governor laughing like a little girl, stupid bitch.
Eventually the call came, and composing myself into the reformed child they wanted to see I walked in. Scanning the room I expected to see my Mother sitting there, looking hopefully at me. The little mouse of a woman who would be pleading with me to be a good girl and follow her rules. Yeah, like sheâd ever be able to tell me what to do again. That had stopped years ago.
Instead, seated in the visitorâs chair was a man I sort of recognised. Iâm sure Iâd seen him somewhere before but couldnât quite place him.
âCome in and take a seat Judeâ. Mrs Wilson motioned to the empty chair beside her visitor, who had obviously lit some flame in her; I swear the old cow was blushing.
Sitting down carefully I arranged my skirt well over my knees, hands clasped together on my lap and smiling sweetly. âThank you Maâamâ
Her monotone voice droned on about the vast improvements in my behaviour, how I was obviously ready to start a fresh, stifling a yawn I hardly took a word in until I caught her saying,
â So that is why you wonât be returning home Judeâ
âWhat? I mean pardon Maâam?â Keeping the initial edge out of my voice I stared at her in disbelief. Was this some kind of joke?
âAs I said Jude, your mother feels that she simply cannot cope anymore and that a change of environment will give you the new opportunities you need to continue in your personal developmentâ
She smiled at me, that stupid inane grin! I had the urge to wipe it off her face with a firm slap.
âSo where the f..I mean, where am I going Maâam?â Biting my tongue I could feel my temper rising. Turning I stared at the man in the chair who seemed barely to register my presence.
âYour mother has handed over her responsibility to her brother, your uncle. Despite being 18 now you have to be released to a responsible adult to fulfil your probation requirements, as you know. So, he is here to take you home Jude dear. Its time to start your new life, and if I may say so, you are a very lucky girl â She smiled at him as she spoke, her words seemed to say she wished she was going home with him instead of me.
With barely another word he rose from the chair and offered his hand to Mrs Wilson. She took it quickly and when he covered hers with his, holding firmly as they said their good byes, she looked like she was about to orgasm on the spot.
He turned and walked towards the door with barely a backward glance in my direction.
âCome Jude, we have a long journey a head of usâ His voice was friendly enough but something in his tone brooked no argument.
Following behind him like a fool I stifled my questions. Yeah ok, Iâd go with dear Uncle James and then, once home the fun could begin. Most towns had a âbad crowdâ and I intended to find the nearest one to my new home as quickly as I could. This girl needed a drink and a fuck and one town was as good as any other.
Walking out through the heavy doors I heard them slam behind me and the fresh cool air embraced my body. Smiling triumphantly to myself I followed my new host. I had fooled the whole damn lot of them. Jeez I was good!
Walking across the car park we approached a large dark saloon car, the windows blackened out, the bodywork shining in the sunlight. Whistling through my teeth I laughed,
âNice motor. Can I drive?â
Ignoring my question he opened the passenger door and waited as I climbed
in. I handed him my bag of belongings as I did, âbetter put them in the boot chaufferâ I said. Maybe this wouldnât be such a bad deal after all.
I waited as he walked around the car. The interior was as spotless as the outside. The leather seats and subtle upholstery screamed money. So Uncle James was loaded I thought, seems like allowance day will be fun.
He slid into the drivers seat and the car purred into action. Leaving the gates of the detention centre we headed down the open road. Smooth and almost silent the car seemed to fly. I turned to really look at him for the first time. Nothing like my mother, he had dark hair, cut well. It was hard to see his eyes as he drove but his profile was strong and there was a tiny tremor of excitement as I watched him. Quite hot for an older guy I thought.
âSo where are we going then, Uncle James? You live in some big fancy house I suppose, unless you just hired this car to impress Wilson and the Social Services?â
His eyes didnât even flicker in response to my question, the bastard was ignoring me! Shouting now I waved my hand in front of his face,
âHello! Hell-looow!â
Again no response. âOh great, I ditch one fucking dumb relative and inherit another. Mother you gave me some great gene pool.â
The hours ticked by and his eyes didnât stray from the road. No radio, no responses, absolutely nothing. I began to doze as it got dark, the rhythm of the car and the sheer boredom lulling me to sleep. Laying myself against the door, head resting on the window I had no idea where we were, unfamiliar town names drifted by on road signs as the miles clocked up. Although I hated to admit it, I was a bit un-nerved by him and also somewhere deep down I was achingly sad that my mother had just handed me over. Sheâd never even mentioned having a brother and here I was in the middle of who knows where, stuck in a car with him. Well, fuck it, I could do without her, I didnât need anyone. Blaming the tears on the air conditioning I closed my eyes tightly and tried to empty my mind of her, thinking instead of that first cold beer sliding down my throat.
I guess I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I knew he had opened the car door and I had fallen hard on to the pathway. Shaken and woken so harshly I was disorientated at first,
âWhat the fuck? That hurt you bastard, couldnât you have woken me first?â
I rubbed at my skinned elbow as I struggled to get up, barely clearing my fingers away from the bodywork before he slammed the car door shut. Silently he walked away towards the imposing front door of my new home. Taking in my surroundings all I could see was a large house, there were subtle lights showing through the downstairs windows and I guessed that he, I mean we, must have servants, cool! Looking around, we were at the end of a long driveway, and although it was dark there wasnât another light anywhere. I stumbled after him and a small shiver ran down my spine, where exactly where we?
âWhere the hell do you live? Itâs like some comic book mansion man! All you need now are the pack of Dobermans and a butler that looks like Lurch and Iâll know Iâm on some fucking film setâ
I was aware that I was rambling a little but this was really getting to me now. He hadnât spoken one word since we left the office and now I was in the middle of nowhere. Part of me longed to go back to the familiarity of the centre. At least I knew where I was there.
I followed him into the hallway and kicked the door shut behind me.
Taking in the surrounds I was quite impressed. This guy obviously had money. I followed him into a large room that looked to be a study. The house was clearly a manâs domain, comfortable but lacking in the frills or extras a woman would bring. Lots of stone floors, leather furniture and walls flanked with row after row of books met my eye as I looked around. There was a big fire burning in the hearth and some heavy stringed classical music playing quietly in the background. Even though I didnât recognise the melody it was comforting to have some sound at last. I had CDs in my bag; Iâd soon fill this echoey tomb with some real music.
âSit downâ
Just like that, no words for hours and then a command like I was his damn dog. However battles needed to be picked carefully and I hadnât quite sussed this man out yet. Taking a seat I let my skirt raise around my thighs and slowly crossed my legs. Sitting well back in the huge leather chair I watching him watching me. This man would be amazing at poker; his damn face gave nothing away. His voice was deep and even as he began,
âI understand that this must be a shock Jude, but your mother felt your wild ways needed to be brought into line. She was well aware that your so-called reform wouldnât last once you were out in the community. Therefore, to ensure you didnât repeat the mistakes she had made at your age you are now to live here with meâ
âHang on a minuteâ I interrupted him, âAre you saying that my mother got into trouble when she was young? Thatâs bullshit! What did she do, forget to put money in the church collection plate?â
