5:17 PM – Howard Brown (Callie Evans)[/center]

The case worker noted her defensive body language. Asides from the cigarette which provided both chemical and pysco-physical comfort, she was avoiding eye contact and has a close body posture. Reading body language was one of things they teach to case workers, it normally gave them an advantage during interactions so they know when to probe and back out in topics. In Callie’s case, the prospect of therapy clumps her up. Howard assumed it has something to do with her past. Another thing he noted was her awkward way with words. [i]I bet she isn’t the debate type person. She probably use her fists to settle arguments.[/i] Howard thought. He let her finish, took a drag and stub out his cigarette.

“Cal, I’ll exempt you from all types of therapy, one-on-one and group, until you want to. Therapy here is not mandatory but we case workers normally prefer residents to attend but since I’m exempting you, I would request an additional hour of classes. What class it would be is up to you. It can be studies or training. I believe you receive a schedule when you took up residency. I’ll place the additional hour during the afternoon studies/training. So instead of 1-3 it’ll be 1-4pm. 5-6pm, when therapy is normally held, would be recreational time. Deal?

And while we’re at it, what happened this afternoon? I’m not here to lecture you, were just getting the facts straight and do you know why we let you slide?”
