The meeting before she came Ch.3

Zigzags P.O.V:

We all took eight minuet showers. We each used an extra token from the rock; well armpit used two because he lost all his in poker. Then we all headed to the warden's cabin, in a loose version of are formation in the water line whispering all the way.

"Man do you think she will make us do sharing circle when we have counseling?" where did that come from? Oh it's Zero I'm still not use to him talking. But that is a good question. I think he has something with this idea of only asking important questions.

"I hope not, but if we do I don't think it will be as touchy feely as moms." I said hoping the same thing.

We just got to the door. We are now just staring at it. I look over Pits head and see that Squid is motioning to the door and X just shook his head Squid sighed and knocked himself.

"Could you boys send in Zigzag first? The rest of you stay out there for a few minutes it won't take long" she says through the door. Everyone's eyes are on me and mine are wide open. I'm terrified then Magnet said something that made my blood run cold.

"Man do you think that since you are the most violent dude out of the whole camp you are going to real jail now". Fucking Magnet just had to say that. Squid walked from his place in line to where Magnet was behind me and hit the back of the head.

"You do not say that kind of shit when all of our nerves are fried as it is" he then nodded to me in support. I start walking past Pit and X. Both of them shot me supportive faces but like me they both think what Magnet said may have validity.

So I open the door to the Warden's cabin. I see her siting on a dining chair that she put by a couch and some other chairs so that all of us have places to sit.

I really don't want to go to jail I could not be in a tiny cell. That would just make it better for the aliens to abduct me or for the government to get more information. So I think I should try to plead my case before she tells me I have to go.

So I'm like " I understand that I fight a lot with other campers but I would Never Ever hit a lady or children I think it's wrong and horrible and I would never ever do that in any way even if some of them are spies I still wouldn't do that because it is still wrong." I say I try and show my honesty and see if she believes me.

She gives me nod and says "Zigzag I know that you wouldn't hurt any of the girls, that are coming I have read all of your files. So I know that you protected your mom and sisters." I nod.

I am so happy that I am not going to be leaving "Sorry some of the guys had the idea that you were sending me away" I rub the back of my neck I got a bit emotional about that stuff I said. I sit on the couch that she pointed me to sit at.

"Ah. Well that is not why you came in first. The reason you came in now is because the first girl that is coming tomorrow is someone you know" she looks at me and is smiling because of how ridicules my face must be right now. All the girls at my old school thought I was a freak.

"Don't look so horrified. You seemed too really like this girl her name is Elyssa Nelson" that got me out of my funk now I am smiling from ear to ear. Then I realize that because she is coming here she got in to some trouble, which makes me lessen my smile.

"Oh that's not good that she got in trouble but I'm glad I get to see her" the Warden looks at me slightly impressed. Guess she gets that I care about Elyssa more than just a fling I had in the hospital. When I was home we video chatted almost every day.

"Well I think you can see where this is going since you both have a more romantic background there are some things that you should know. One is that I am not going to try and stop you guys from being together when all the other girls are here there is going to be no way to make share that there is no relationships happening so we are not going to try. Secondly if you do get caught having sex you will be punished. For two weeks you well have to dig ten holes both weeks and do two activities each week. Lastly if you guys still choose to have sex and you knock her up depending if you tell me or not and you are not causing more trouble you both will transfer over to this new program we will be starting. That way it will allow you to have health care for her and the baby and you would be making a bit of money, but if you don't tell me and are causing problems she will have to leave to go to a lock down facility and when the baby comes you both will be forced to give it away and it will then become a ward of the state. Is that clear? Are you going to be responsible?" She said looking dead at me. I nod.

"Yes ma'am I will be responsible" god she is scary I couldn't even lie with her staring at me like that.

She smiles now "Good you are going to be her mentor." I nod again to let her know that I am listening.

She gets up and goes to the door to let the rest of the tent in. They also sit down. Then the Warden goes over the programs and what are new expectations are. Everything that she said is what Zero said except there is this new paper that we fill out each week so I'm kind of just zoning out and thinking about Elyssa. I'm smiling and Squid and X-ray are noticing. The Warden finished up talking about the program and noticed that they were looking at me and smiles to but her smile was a mean smile.

Then she says "now the girl that is coming tomorrow that is going to be in your tent is Zigzag's girlfriend from the hospital, so he is going to mentor her." She had to mention that we met in the mental ward. She just had to. All the guys are looking at me and I just know that they are not going to let that go.

"Now I was able to get your guys yurt it is also coming tomorrow. So tomorrow you guys get the day off so you can build it. It is coming at one tomorrow because of this you only have to dig four holes this week. Now Elyssa is getting here by four. I also got an e-mail saying that they are sending a boy also he will be in your group as well. So armpit you will be his mentor. You and zigzags activities this week will be mentoring. The only thing left that I can think of is for Magnet, Zero, X-ray and Squid to pick their activities for this week I'm having Mr. Sir make a list of things for all the boys but I need some things to get done so if one of you is good at math and maybe X-ray would work with the math person to figure out part of the budget with me. It would be stuff like what kind of canteens would be better and getting better cots. Tomorrow that would be great"

"Thank you, ma'am that would be good. Earlier today we found out Zero is really good at math, and the reason that he didn't talk was because he didn't like mom asking him stupid questions." X said making Zero smile. The warden said that would be ok and looked at Zero the same way as how we have been to day, like he could be more useful.

"Magnet I would like it if you would inventory all shovels and then note which ones need to be replaced, and could you Squid inventory all tools because there is going to be a lot of building going on." We all nod and say thank you. She gives us the ok to leave.

As soon as we are in the tent everyone starts talking about everything X and Squid are talking about how having the Warden in charge of us is going to be a good thing. Armpits started bragging that his activity is so easy. Magnet is jumping from conversation to conversation.

Then Zero came up to me and asked, "So was she just someone you said was a girlfriend because everyone else in the hospital pairs off or was it more? I have been once you know and know how it works there." Magnet over heard this and came over to hear what I was going to say.

"Yeah man is the new chica yours?" as always he was loud enough for the rest of the tent to tern are way waiting for me to let them know if they got a shot with the first girl they are going to see in months.

"Yes she is my girlfriend even after we left the hospital we Skyped almost every day, so back off when she comes k." I make eye contact with all of them and then look at X he better tell them that she is my girl and not to try anything otherwise I will not be helping the next time there is a fight.

"Yeah we just need to remember that when all the other honeys come they will be looking to Zigs girl for help and she will point the right one to one of us remember vacancies don't last long at camp green lake right." He smiles at every one. Good he made it so they would back off but also he worded it so that they feel that they will get a girl to. What's even better they will help her out so that when another girl comes she will tell them how nice they are.

"Thanks man. Another thing we should remember is that we are getting the first girls so the other tents may try to take them." I say this for two reasons to get of the topic off Elissa and so we think of a way to keep the girls safe. Just because the known woman haters are leaving that doesn't mean that there aren't others here that haven't got caught.

Squid jumps on this line of thought. His dad left him and his mom a few years back so he understands about having to take care of woman "yeah X and Zig are right. We need to be nice and protect them from the other campers." Me, X, squid and surprisingly Zero are all very serious. Magnet and Pit are just exited and agreed.

"So I think the best thing to do is every time we get a new girl we all as a group as in us and the other girls. Stay as a group for the first week then have it so the girls stay in groups of three or more or a girl is with their guy at all times Zigzag you let Elissa know that tomorrow k?" we all agreed that is a good idea. "Ok then. I think we should all get some sleep we have a busy day tomorrow" as he said the last part he looked at me and squid. Letting us know he wants to talk to us after the rest are asleep. He turns off the light we weight about fifteen minutes till we hear Pit chain saw snoring. Then we three get out and go behind are tent.

"Thanks X-ray for backing me up. I also like the new safety measures protecting them is going to be a very big part of our time here now." I am finally in a better mood today has been a hard long day. With all the new things and the radio waves from earlier.

"Yeah man no problem but I was serious about your girlfriend helping us out with the other chicks." He said. I smiled I get that he has been here for six months and really needs to see a girl that isn't a staff member.

Squid now starts to speak with his tooth pick out "so the other surprise today was Zero what do you guys think about that" He said that while putting the pick behind his ear.

Meeting of leaders of D-tent now started. X-ray leader, Squid informant and peace maker with other tents, and me in charge of 'security' (fighting/beating people that mess with us).

"I really liked that he was able to give detailed information and a lot of it. Even when he didn't know what something was he described it." I say getting right in to the meeting.

"I liked that he was able to figure out what was important and how important each thing is. Caller always had a hard time filtering and always seemed to think what we are going to eat the next day was the most important thing in the world when we have the same thing always. They just change the order." Squid said we all laugh.

X-ray now has the floor "I like all of that. The other things I noticed was that he was able to figure mom out by his first day I mean Magnet still thinks mom was a great guy when he didn't give two shits about being here and that this was just a pay check. Also he is really good with numbers and is pretty smart in that since. I don't know if he can read but with having to do school here that weakness will get taken care of. What are your thoughts on the Warden?"

Squid answers first "I think that this will be good for the tent. She was varying straight full ward that she thinks that this is a business. I also got the feeling that she was more motivated by more holes that more money which I don't get yet" both me and X nod at that the money seemed more like the icing on the cake to her.

Now I start " I agree but I also got the impression that she is almost giving up finding what she is looking for and is using these programs as a backup plan of some sort" they nod "also I think that with her as are adviser she will make sure are girls are safe. The one down side I think is that the other tents or I guess soon to be yurts are going to think that we are getting treated better which we kind of are. I mean she gave us better things to do than cooking or cleaning and we get the first yurt and girls." Both of them think about that one. I don't think they thought of that.

X smiles and adds "both of you guys are right I think all that to. The only thing that I would add is that we need to change is game plan a bet she is not like mom or Mr. Sir. She is pretty smart unlike them where we go do whatever we want as long as we don't get caught for most of it, we only got a slap on the wrist. Her though, she would make an example of us to the others but she would probably reward us to show the others to." See this is what are esteemed leader always does he take credit for are work when others do then add only the minimum.

"Yeah the good thing is that she doesn't really care about most things I mean she is fine about fighting as long as all involved are still able to dig also I got a big feeling that if we fight to protect one of our girls she would reward us." Squid said we all smiled at that. It was the other staff that cared if we fight.

I add to this now "yes your right I think as long as we keep her happy she will do the same. Did you guys feel like when she went on to talk about the other program she was directing the information at us three?" I have been thinking about how she talked to me about if I end up being a dad. Also when the rest came in she mentioned that program she looked at us three more than the rest.

Both of them nod yes. See some times being paranoid is a good thing you pick up on things like that. Now that we are done discussing tent business we can talk about are selves.

"Yeah dude I noticed that to I think I may do it" squid said.

Now I should probably tell them about that part she told me "I was pretty much told by her that I will be in the program because when me and Elissa get pregnant it's either that or Elissa gets shipped off to lock down and the baby gets taken away. Evidently you get paid a bit and get health benefits in that new program." They are looking at me wide eyed now. I guess they didn't think of what would happen if they got a girl knocked up. They also heard me say when not if. So I don't think that ether of them will try anything with her and will now probably make sure no one else does ether.

X-ray decided to not even comment on that bombshell but rather change back to his favorite subject… himself. "I will be trying to get in to it also there is no way I will be able to do college otherwise."

Yeah I'm with him. I never even thought about college. It looks like Squid never thought about college ether.

I'm really tired so I say "guys since we got all this nailed down I think I'm going to go to bed" they both nod and we go back in to the tent.

Now I'm lying in bed thinking about Elyssa. As I'm going to sleep I smile as I realize this is our last night in a tent.
