Who:  Jay Clayton, Mel Case
When:  During the recreation period
Where:  Library
What:  Just meeting
Rating: PG - For Jay lovin' on the books

Mel laid down the book he was reading as he unfastened the small hair clip which held the right side of his hair back, and looked around the library idly, making sure that people were at the least behaving to an extent that no one was trying to kill someone else.

As he had noted earlier that morning, when he came in to start his new job, the library was really quite well stocked for being in a prison, and he felt there would be more than a few people who might complain about the wasted funds for prisoners who were so bad as to get into the Underground Hotel, or better known as the UGH.  But for him, he thought it was fine.

Some of these guys would actually get out before they died, and perhaps reading would help them to find something they needed.  It had done it for him when he was a child and needed away from the noise of his brothers and sister for a while.  Sure, they were still noisy in the background, but he'd be so immersed in whatever he was reading, he'd hardly notice unless it became necessary.

Content that things seemed peaceful for the moment, he drew his hair back a bit and re-clipped it, before lifting the book he was reading again.  Anyone passing by could easily read the title and author, since it was a new book and thus hardbound.  In bright letters it read 'Vampire of North Beach: In the Shadows', and below it, it specified the author, King Clayton in just as large, and just as bright, lettering.

Book still clutched to his chest, Jay gave a half-smirk, half-grin. "Sorry kiddo, I got my eye on someone else. Trouble maker with red hair, no doubt you'll bump into him soon enough!" After all, every member of staff seemed to run into Michael eventually!

"But hey, if I find a gap in my social calendar, I'll call you for a date."

Jay took the offered hand, giving it a shake. "Nice to meet you, Mel, and yeah, he is rather fiery. Very fiery in fact."

He gave a joking salute. "See you around, chief. I'll be back for more books soon enough!"

Jay held his book close, returning Mel's look with a playful smirk, before heading out of the library to head back to the cell.
