Eve's Time: A Fish Out of Water
James Patterson appeared from the Cook County courthouse’s holding cell area wearing a tan-colored shirt and pants with capital, bold, black letters “DOC”, which stood for Department of Corrections, written on the back. His hair was braided in unneat lines of cornrows, much different from the wild afro he had on the last day of his freedom almost four weeks ago. Eve smiled inwardly thinking of James sitting between the muscular legs of a fellow male inmate nicknamed Killah getting his hair did. Eve and James raised their right hands, as much as one could still being handcuffed, and swore before God and the court to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. She knew that the judge didn’t really want to hear the whole truth; she wasn’t sure if she even knew the truth anymore. The two jilted lovers, occasionally talking over one another, gave their final accounts of that miserable evening the previous month that landed James behind bars and Eve in the hospital. They both stood there with visible and invisible scars from that evening. Although their physical scars had mostly healed, they were still fighting – James for his freedom, Eve for her sanity.
