❦ SESSIONS ❦ WITH ❦ GUNS❦

|...Guns?|

❦❦

Friday has finally come after a long week and it is strange how this week has been so long yet so short at the same time. But now that I wait for my session with Silas which will take place in only two minutes and as on time the door opens and the guards enter with him. There are always at least more than six guards when he comes, yesterday there were ten and now there are seven yet there are never less than six. None speak a word as they chain him to the chair and then they leave.

I smile as I sit down on my brown leather chair but he is grumpy, yet again. "So, I was thinking that we would play the guessing game again" I suggest to him since he doesn't really want to talk about something else and this is helping him open up to me. Knowing what animals one chooses says a lot about the personality, they always go to the animal that relate to them yet in some cases they pick a random one but mostly all the time things that they are familiar and comfortable with.

"And this time you will start guessing" I say as his kohl black eyes stare at me with emotions that I'm not sure what are or what he is thinking. "All right you can start guessing now" I tell him and he lets out annoyed sigh. I've already thought about the animal that I want, it took a long time to think of this one. "Is your animal a unicorn?" He asks me with a bored expression. I let out a giggle as I shake my head. "No" I answer with a smile on my face to show my happiness.

That makes him chuckle and raise his thick eyebrow at me. "Is your animal a pink unicorn?" He asks and my mouth drops open. "Y-yes. H-how did you do that? Are you a mind reader?" I ask him. Once again he chuckles and smirks at me. "The magician never reveals his secrets" He says to me with that smirk on his face that makes me want to kiss him... no, no I don't want that. What is the matter with me? I should never think that, I am engaged and I love Adam more than anything, he's the only one that I want to kiss.

"While that may be true, I highly doubt you're a magician" I tell him and his face almost drops when I say that. I adjust myself in the chair and cross one my leg over the other one. "What makes you say that?" He asks and as soon as he has said that I write down that he might be a magician but I do put a question mark behind the word. When thinking about it there are a lot of question marks in his file as I'm not sure about anything when it comes to this man.

"Moving on, you can choose an animal now" I tell him and he looks at me as he smirks. His look tells me that he has already found an animal and I can begin to guess. "Is your animal a mammal?" I ask him but he says no right away but then he says yes. I give him a puzzled look. An animal that is both mammal and not at the same time, that is pretty confusing to me. "Some types of it are mammals while others are not" He speaks and that doesn't make things clearer for me. So then I just start guessing.

It took me about a half an hour but I was able to guess the animal correctly and it was a bat. That too forever for me to guess yet our session is about little over half done and we have like twenty-five minutes left. "Is there anything you wish to talk about, I'm going to remind you again that this is a safe zone, you can talk freely and openly without being judged at all" I tell him with a soft smile on my face and a bit of embarrassment after it took so long for me to guess something so simple.

"I do have one thing I want to ask you" He says and my face light up. This is good, he's opening up to me. "What kind of guns do the guards use?" He asks me and I furrow my eyebrows. That is something rather odd to ask. I shake my head. "I really have no clue, I don't know anything about guns or weapons at all" I tell him honestly. Silas is a rather confusing man to me and everything that he does does puzzle me but I do get the feeling that there is always something behind the things that he says.

After all, everything that we do there is a reason behind it and finding the reason for why Silas does things is rather hard for me to do but I know that it is not impossible so I will do it. Even when it might take a long time to do. "What do they look like?" He asks me and once again I'm stumped. "Look like... as in type of shape or color?" I ask him and he sharply nods.

Looking into his kohl black eyes and not knowing what is in them but I can tell he's serious about this and he truly wants to know and who am I to deny a curious man knowledge. Some say knowledge is the world greatest weapon but I would disagree and say that is love and kindness and unicorns because why not? "Well they are black, I think and the ones in the tower have the long ones but the guards that walk the hallways have short ones" I say to him, though I could tell that this is not what he wanted to hear.

Rolling his eyes he lets out a chuckle. "You clearly have no idea what you are saying" He says with amusement in his eyes which makes me let out a small giggle. "Not a clue" I say with a smile. "Guns and other types of things that can hurt someone are not my thing" I continue and he scoffs. "What about a fork?" He asks. Furrowing my eyebrow at that question. "A fork? Forgive me, but it seems that I don't understand that question" I tell him with a half smile. Sometimes he just asks the most ridiculous things yet I suppose it makes things more interesting.

"One can use a fork to kill, and yet you eat with it" He wickedly says. His dark voice sends shivers down my spine that almost makes me tremble but I stop myself from that. "Seems to me that you use more weapons in your everyday life than you think, might want to think about that" He says and then stops and chuckles. His voice is so dark and twisted that I don't know what to believe. Before I could say more the door opens and the guards take him away.

Like always I'm left alone in my office, unsure of what had just happened to me right about now. The things that he says often makes sense and I think he does have a smart point. A fork can be used as a weapon and I use it every day. Standing up and writing down what he said on the paper and then putting that into the folder where it is slowly is filling up with papers of each session. Then I walk out of my office to get something for my sore throat. Talking that much is not that good for it and it is getting a hint worse every day that passes.

"I can't wait to destroy you at this game" Trina says when Adam and I enter her apartment. She lives with her boyfriend Trevor who is the sweetest guy ever. He literally has never lost his cool and doesn't ever get angry, his parents said so even and they are also just so sweet. "I don't believe so" I tell her and sit down by the kitchen table. She has already set up the first game that we are going to be playing for the night.

Adam sits next to me and Trevor sits next to her and we start Uno. Only starting easy and making our way to the larger games that will take much longer than a couple of minutes as we have all night and if we aren't too tired we will play a little into the night. It is Friday and I don't have to be at work until Monday so I have the whole weekend, even when I don't really like being awake after twelve but this is game night with my best friend and her boyfriend, some rules can be bent once in a while.

After playing a couple of games of Uno we move on to some other games like battleship where Adam and I were a team and Trina and Trever were a team. I've never been good at this game as I never want to sink ship but that is the game and Adam really does help a lot in this. "Damn it, how did you to that?" Trina asks, getting more and more competitive in this but I'm not going to let her win. We barely have anything in common but winning is one thing that we both want.

I just sank one of her larger ships and now she only has two small ones left which in my opinion are the hardest ones since one is only two spaces and it can be hard to pin point where it is and it could be anywhere on the board. "I was thinking that we could do this one, it seems like there might be a ship there" Adam whispers to me as he lightly taps on the block that we should hit. "But if we don't they will sink this ship" I whisper to him back.

Knowing what ship I am talking about as she has hit it once and now she only has to hit it one more time to sink it but she doesn't know in which direction to hit. "They will sink it either way so we better find that ship before they sink another one of ours" He whispers to me and I nod. "All right, we do F5" I tell her and she curses. "You're cheating!" She says and we take that opportunity to do a hi-five and I peek his cheek. "You're amazing" I tell him and hug him.

We're one step closer to sinking her ship, only need to find in which direction it is facing which is a 50-50 chance for we have already hit two sides of it which did not hit the ship itself. "Your turn" I say happily with a grin on my face. They are going down, that I do know and I know that we are going to win, yet again. I like winning and I will do whatever it takes to win. Though never cheat, I would never do something like that because that is dishonest and just cruel.

I always play fair and square no matter how much I am winning or losing. They whisper amongst themselves on what to do next and Adam and I take the time to plan our next move. I sit on Adam's lap and his strong arms keep me from falling off him and I know that he would never let me fall. The love I feel for him is just too strong and the love he feels for me is strong, that I know and I would never change anything. This moment makes me happy, he makes me happy and brings me so much joy.

Playing games for hours the clock was already around midnight and I've been yawning too much and almost falling asleep on Adam's shoulder as we are playing monopoly which Adam and I are winning but that isn't the point... it actually is but I'm too tired to even think and I'm just confused and exhausted. "I think we should finish this game and then head home, this little one is getting tired it would appear" Adam says and I playfully pout. "I'm not little" I tell him with a serious look on my face that comes out more as a semi-serious but also goofy.

"You are" He says back and kisses my nose which makes me let out a giggle and hug him as he picks up the dice and throw it light on the table. "We've almost bankrupt them so just hang on, little one" He whispers to me and I roll my eyes. I'm not that little, just smaller than he is but not little. "Aww, you two are so adorable, completely made for each other" Trevor says and Trina agrees. They always so something like this every time that we meet.

"I know, I'm the luckiest man alive to have her with me" Adam says as he holds me tight and I like having his arms around. "I'm the lucky one" I tell him, only speaking the truth, I am lucky to have someone like Adam in my life and love him. "Now let's finish this before you go all giddy on me" Trina says, back into her game mode. Laughing we do our move before it is their turn. "I'm going to head real quick to the bathroom" I say and get off Adam's lap but as soon as I do I feel this longing to be in his arms once again.

I walk to the bathroom as I know where it is and lock the door after turning on the lights switch that is on the outside of the bathroom. I do my business there and then wash my hands and as I look into the mirror I see how tired I am and I see just how my eyes are barely able to hold themselves open and if we don't win this quick I swear that I am going to fall asleep soon. "Lea, your phone is ringing!" I hear Adam call out to me and with confusion I wipe my hands and exit the bathroom.

Going back to the living room and he hands me the phone and I answer it. "Dr. Russel speaking" I say into the phone after seeing that it is the prison calling me. "Dr. Russel, I apologize for this late call but this is Mr. Cordero, I'm the warden's assistant and I have called because one of your patient, Silas has been requesting to see you" A man speak in the phone. I walk into the kitchen so they can keep playing. "I'm sorry but I don't go back to work until Monday, did he say the reason why he wanted to see me?" I ask him. "No, only that if you don't come within the hour then he will be bombing the prison" He speaks and my jaw drops open in shock.
