Chapter Forty-Five

Emma followed Officer Farley through gate after gate. Buzzers sounded, keys rattled, and doors crashed shut.

“I’ll be with you at all times,” said Officer Farley. “He has his funny ways – the governor, I mean. Don’t mind him. I’ve met quite a few in top jobs, and he’s far from the worst. I sometimes think to get to the top you need to behave a bit differently from the rest of us.”

Officer Farley nodded at a colleague who handed Emma some forms to sign. Farley said, “I’ve served in the armed forces, worked in business and now the prison service. They have their differences, but they also have their similarities. I don’t need to tell you that the behaviour of those with power can seem alien to those without it, just as choices made by a powerless man can seem strange to others. Human nature, I guess.”

He looked at Emma’s chest and said, “I’m sorry if he embarrassed you, but the governor was right to mention the top button. You and I know there was nothing to see, but the point he was making was that things we take for granted on the outside can be blown out of all proportion in here.”
