The limo picked us up dead on time. It made its way out to the prison farm Karl was going to be released from. The driver was a little surprised at the destination but knew where it was.
Driving out there, we held hands, not sure of what kind of reception this trip was going to receive. Finally we reached the destination and we waited. We knew that prisoners were to be released at 9:05. There was a four minute walk to the bus stop and the bus would come at 9:13am, if it was on time. Prisoners were given bus fare and some cash, as well as whatever money and other goods they had in their possession at the time of their incarceration. Other than that, we knew nothing.
When we arrived, there was no-one at the bus stop and it was a few minutes to 9:00 am. Waiting, I could feel the nervous tension building. That was the longest seven minutes I had ever had and I know Anna was not feeling any different. We had sat in silence when a small door to the right of the gate opened and out stepped a man in a cheap suit. A few seconds later another man stepped out and then a fair haired, tall god looking guy followed him. Anna and I looked at each other and we nodded.
