"Josh, snap out of it." Tobi hisses, snapping his fingers in front of my face, causing me to blink and look towards him.

"W-what?" I choke out, and his eyes go wide.

"Stop making it blatantly obvious that he did this to you.. Now he's smirking like a madman." He whispers, causing me to immediately makes me look away from Tobi, towards the mysterious patient.

He was, in fact, staring directly at me, a smirk planted on his face, dimple popping in his shallow cheeks. He was very handsome- not someone you'd peg as a sociopathic killer.

He bites his lip, causing my face to heat up, and look away immediately.

"Josh.. Stop this." He mutters in my ear, and I clench my jaw.

"Why is he doing this?" I grumble lowly, and he shrugs, positioning his body between me and the patient.

"He wants your attention. He knows your curious. Don't give him any of it." He sighs, and I nod.

He backs up against the wall next to me once again, and I look back down towards my feet.

Chatter continues to flow around the room, the inmates playing games and talking about their oh-so-entertaining nights.

Minutes and minutes pass, the chatter never dying, until Tobi nudges me.

"He's walking over here." He murmurs, and I gasp.

"Over here?!" I shriek in a hushed tone, and he hums.

"To his security guard." He continues.

His guard was Callum Airey. He was tall and thin, but was quite built beneath the layers of fabric covering him. He was strong, though he was quite sneaky.

He never chatted to any of the nurses, just associated with the other guards- Ethan, the other Josh, and others that have no name for me.

"When can I go back?" I hear his voice speak out, his body only a few meters away from me.

"Sit down. Lunch will be over in two minutes." Callum snaps, and Simon chuckles.

"Alright." He mumbles, moving to the closest table to us, sneakers shuffling along the cement floor.

"So you're my nurse?" Simon speaks up.

I don't move, I barely breathe as I wait for Tobi to answer. No words are spoken.

I feel Tobi nudge me, so I look up, instantly locking eyes with the blond.

"Me?" I gape, and he nods.

"Yeah you." He smirks, and I laugh lightly.

"No.. I'm not your nurse." I chuckle.

"Are you?" He asks Tobi, and he nods.

"What are your names?" He asks smoothly, and I look towards Tobi, who nods for me to explain.

"I'm doctor Zerker, and he's doctor Brown." I introduce, and he shakes his head, laughing lightly.

"You don't have first names?" He chuckles, and I glare towards him.

"We aren't allowed to share that with patients." Tobi explains, and he pouts playfully.

"Aw, that's not fun. Is there a certain reason?" He smirks, and I laugh dryly, shaking my head.

"Privacy... Why are you so curious?" I ask, and he shrugs.

"I like to learn. Just like I like to draw and create art. Just like I like to play club football and visit my family." He frowns as he traces the lines in his hands.
