CHAPTER 12

Adam had been bogged down with frightening images. Roxanne had been great but he had secrets and demons he hid from her. His time with her was special but his time away he was plagued with the mistakes of his past.

Being with Roxanne made him feel complete. He hadn’t actively searched for a relationship with any woman. It was like God had just placed Roxanne in his lap. His faith was stronger than ever now. He had read the Bible in prison. He had grown to have a better understanding of faith.

He never really talked religion with anybody but his mother. Religion is what helped him get through those six lonely years of incarceration. It was also the love and support of his family.

He wanted to go on this journey. He wanted it for a long time now. He needed to make sure he was in an innocuous place in his psyche. He had come a long way and he feared that going to this place could send him back to the past for good.

It took him two and a half hours to drive downstate. He was thoroughly searched before he was led into the prisons visitors meeting area. It was an open area with many circular bench tables. The tables had numbers. You got a number and that table was where your inmate was waiting for you.

Tony Demarco was sitting alone at the table off in the corner. Adam slowly approached with his visitors badge pinned to his shirt. He looked around the room and observed the other prisoners interact with their families and friends. This had been him not long ago.

Adam walked further and he caught Tony’s eye. It was just long enough for Tony to assess him from head to toe. Adam walked over to the table and took a seat opposite his old friend and accomplice.

“Hey man.” Adam tried to sound casual but it came out fake.

“Hey. Isn’t this a treat? I never thought you would come anywhere near a place like this again when they let you out. You must’ve jumped through hoops just to get on the visitors list. They don’t really let too many ex-cons visit felons in prison.

“I had to write a letter to the warden. I had to have the pastor of my mother’s church write a letter to the warden.”

“All this for me.”

“Well, if not you then who?”

“I know you hate this place, any sane person would.”

“Well it’s definitely not my favorite place.” Adam looked around the room.

“I’m happy to see an old friend. But what are you doing here?”

“I just been thinking a lot lately about the things we used to get into.”

“If you’re thinking about a life of crime, you better think again.”

“No, not exactly.”

“Good to hear, you came from a good family. There’s no reason for you to end up back in the can.”

“Yeah, I just had a few things on my mind.”

“You having a hard time adjusting to life on the outside.”

“Not really.” Adam shrugged.

“Are you looking for an apology?”

“I’m good.
