My Parents My Patients - DC Next Generation

Chapter Seven

I put my phone back in my pocket as I got to his cell,I heard grunting and the sound of something being hit. I smiled and scanned my card,"Hello Floyd."I said,he glanced over at me and cracked a smile. "Hello Miss Q. Always as beautiful as your mother."he said,abandoning the punching bag he was punching. "So Mr Lawton,how was your stay here in Arkham over the holidays?"I asked with a smile. "Well,it was pleasantly horrible."Deadshot answered,walking over to the bed,if you could even call it that,it was more like a metal slab extended from the wall with a "blanket" on it. "How about you Miss Q,how was your holidays?"He asked,sitting down. "My holidays. My holidays were very,how do you say? Uneventful. From the minute I got home I was preparing for the new work year. I was all by myself on Christmas,spent New Years Eve avoiding everyone in my apartment because my best friends decided to have a party without seek my permission first, I spent New Years Day cleaning up the apartment. That's about it."I said,laughing a little at the end. "You remind me of someone I know Miss Q. Her name slips my mind right this second. She was very intelligent,until she met with the wrong kind."He said staring at me. "Who may this very lady be,her name may slip your thought but describe her to me."I said,leaning against a wall, with my note board and pen ready. "Well,she was very beautiful,young at that. She had light blonde hair,blue eyes. She was my ex wife's friend. She always had a beautiful smile,I remember that she was a Doctor,I can't remember whether she was a psychiatrist or a scientist. She always looked for something bright even if the problem was completely dark. I miss her,she always knew how to lift my mood."Floyd said staring at wall. "I'm sorry Floyd."I said,finishing off my points,"For all of your losses."
"How about you Miss Q ever lost someone you loved or cared for?"he asked me,glancing at me. My face dropped,I started to slouch against the wall,"Twice,the first was when I was five. I had to watch my parents being taken away from me,I don't remember them much it was so long ago. The second time was today,when I found out one of my best friends turned to a life of crime."I said,looking away from him. "Oh,I'm sorry Miss Q."he said,"but I guess that you can't always have things your way." I smiled and looked at my phone and the time read 12:25,I put it away. "I guess you're right Floyd,but our time is up. I will see you tomorrow."I said turning towards the door,"Have a good afternoon Miss Q."he called and I nodded,opening the door and walking out.
