Josh's POV

"Woah woah woah, where do you think you're going mister steamtrain?" Tobi chuckles, putting his hand on my chest, so I stop, but throw his hand off of me.

"I have fucking had it with this shitty hellhole." I grunt, going to push past him but he grabs my shoulders, turning me around.

"Hey man, talk to me. What's wrong?" He asks calmly, and I take a deep breath.

"Callum and Josh have been raping Amethyst, Bronwyn, Star and Sandy. Then what happened with Callum and I, it needs to be dealt with." I sigh, and he nods, stepping aside.

"Don't go apeshit okay? Don't do anything you'll regret." He hugs me tightly, and I sigh.

"I hope she fucking believes me."

"Mrs. Johnson, we need to speak immediately." I barge into the office, slamming my fists onto the cracked wooden desk.

She smirks, before crossing her arms over her chest. I huff, clenching my jaw and fists before sitting in the chair in front of her.

"I needed to speak to you as well... You first." She motions for me to speak first, but the words catch in my throat.

I go to speak, but the overwhelming fear of Callum hurting someone on my behalf scared the words away.

C'mon Josh, man up and stand up for the people you care about.

"There has been an incident between Callum Airey and I." I mutter lowly, and she raises her eyebrow, lighting a cigarette before exhaling the grey smoke from her cracked lips.

"There has hm?" She begins to pull out her clipboard, writing our names at the top.

"Yeah, and it's kind of a big deal, hence why I wasn't working for four bloody days." I grunt, and she looks up, unamused.

"Surely, this is probably just something you took out of proportion." She snaps, and I scoff.

"Oh, so you think me being in a coma for four days because of loss of blood from an injury that Callum did to me is taking it out of proportion?

You're saying, let me get this straight, that I am taking Callum throwing a knife in my back," I stand, quickly lifting my uniform and flashing her the bloodstained bandage covering the wound,

"slashing my leg with the same knife, and before that, fighting me and attempting to rape me is taking it out of proportion?

You're saying th-that the closet full of dead, skinned bodies that I saw is taking it out of proportion? The multiple patients he and Josh raped is taking this out of proportion?"

She stays silent, staring at her intertwined hands on her desk, before a small laugh bubbles from her lips. It wasn't a sweet laugh, a human of that sort is incapable of being sweet, it was menacing and demonic.

"Oh darling, you are losing your mind. Callum is one of the best guards in this facility, and he is definitely not a murderer. I understand you two have had your moments, but you saying this.. This just makes you sound insane.

And, I've heard how you interact with Simon Minter. It's no surprise you are developing feelings for this patient. He is psychotic and you decide to treat him higher above the others? You are sick in the head.

You believe our patients are all healed. You think they are okay. Do you not see how wrong that is? You believe that people, who we know are insane due to evidence of their murders and crimes, are sane.
