Chapter 1068 Jail Bird Dad(Incest/Taboo):>Ep1
- Connie had not seen her dad Pablo since he was put in jail six years earlier. They had kept in touch through mail but her mom had discouraged her from seeing him. She never took her to visit him and made sure nobody else would drive Connie to see her dad. Now that she was 18, Connie could go without permission. It was scary walking through all the gates, metal detectors and officers as she made her way to the meeting room. Everything was old, dirty, and cold.
- Too many people were crowded into the tiny room. The noise was too loud for her taste. People were talking and were very animated, they were either very happy to see loved ones or they were having a drag out fight about unresolved issues. Everyone was too busy minding their own business to bother each other. Connie noticed visitors handing contraband to inmate, heaving petting by inmates and their visitors (and more than she cared to see), and other "illegal" activities. None of the guards noticed, more correctly they were paid not to notice.
- Connie scanned the room for her father. Amongst the sea of strangers she saw a familiar face. Connie was twelve the last time she saw her father, but she could not mistake his face. She ran to him and they hugged for a very long time. They cried and hugged and cried some more. Father and daughter brought each other up to date on their respective lives. Regrets and "should haves" were too many for both their liking. The guards asked Connie to leave because visiting hours were over. It seemed too short of a time and she vowed to visit him again. Before she left her father told her he had a connection in the library and he had access to the internet. He gave her his nickname and a room they could meet and chat on line. She promised to IM as soon as she got home.
