The time in the yard wasn't long or short, but Laz kept his wits about him even as the comments kept on coming. While they weren't nearly as loud as when the women first walked in, they were getting more and more perverted as time went on.
Laz didn't care in the slightest, but Vera yelled at them more than once to get them to shut up and promising them a 'good time' if they continued speaking.
Instead of listening to them, Laz paid more attention to the inmates themselves, studying them and seeing if there was anyone he knew. He didn't think someone would recognize him even if they did see him, but there were a few who wouldn't mistake him and he wanted to ensure that nothing that shouldn't be said was said.
If his cover was blown, then things would get out of hand.
