After dinner, the patients have been encouraged to head to their rooms for the night, Doctor Mathers paced up and down the hallways as he watched the nurses shuffle patients into their rooms.
"Where's Rozetta?" Doctor Mathers asked as he realised he hadn't seen Billie enter his room.
Two nurses in the hallway shrugged.
Doctor Mathers stormed to the nurses desk "Have any of you seen Rozetta?"
The nurses at the desk shook their head.
"What about Billie?" He questioned.
The nurses shook their heads again.
Doctor Mathers felt agitated as he paced back up the hallway.
"Now why would you say that?"
Doctor Mathers heard her voice coming from one of the rooms.
"Kyle, you volunteered yourself in here. Just talk to the doctor and see what he says"
Doctor Mathers stopped outside of Kyle's room, seeing Nurse Rozetta sitting on Kyle's bed while Kyle was sitting on the floor in his room "Is everything alright?"
"Kyle was thinking about going home." Nurse Rozetta spoke to Doctor Mathers as she jumped up to her feet.
Kyle looked up at Nurse Rozetta and Doctor Mathers.
"You and I can discuss this in the morning, Kyle."
Kyle nodded slightly.
"I will let you rest, Kyle." Nurse Rozetta bid him goodnight before walking out of the room.
"Good night, Kyle" Doctor Mathers mentioned.
Kyle nodded slightly as Doctor Mathers locked Kyle in his room for the night.
Doctor Mathers noticed Nurse Rozetta helping patients into their rooms "Nurse Rozetta" he called out.
She stepped out of a patients room and closed their door "Yes"
"I think it'd be better suited if you helped the nurses in the dining room clean up."
Nurse Rozetta pouted as she turned away from Doctor Mathers, he watched her walk towards the dining room.
Doctor Mathers watched as two nurses closed the final doors
"Is that all of them?" Doctor Mathers asked.
"Yes." Replied one of the nurses.
"How did you manage with Billie?" Doctor Mathers questioned.
"Oddly enough he didn't put up a fight tonight" Replied the other nurse.
"Good." Doctor Mathers breathed.
The two nurses walked past Doctor Mathers, towards the nurses desk.
