"You seem to be adjusting well." Says the director, sipping his coffee.
"Nothing I can't handle." I smile in satisfaction, proud of receiving the director's approval.
"Good to hear. You can head off early if you'd like, it's been a long day." He nods at me.
"Thank you, sir." I say, turning around and heading towards the door.
"Oh, and one more thing," the director calls out.
I turn around to look at him, waiting for what he has to say.
"Remember who you're working with." He states sternly.
"Yes, sir." I nod at him before leaving the room.

My mind wandered through the events of the day during the drive home. I certainly had my work cut out for me when it came to the patients I would be working with.
---
The chain that hoists me up rattles as I sway, which causes the white fabric of my dress flow down gracefully. Bright lights filter through the closed windows. There is a heavy scent of iron filling the room.
My eyes open to the sound of the chain being lowered. I watch as Xiumin walks to me, then traces a finger down my stomach before punching it. The rest of the group circle around us, enjoying the show.
"You're being nice." Kai chuckles to Xiumin.
Xiumin smirks, leaning in so I can feel his breath on my neck.
"This is our thank you, Doctor," he menacingly licks my neck, "for helping us."
He grabs a fistful of my hair and head-butts me, causing me to cry out in pain.
"Hung, let me." Chen suggests, walking over to Xiumin's place, "She's mine, after all."
Xiumin walks away, and Chen tilts my head up with his fingertips.
"Hello, little one." He smiles, touching my nose with his.
I smile weakly at him, whispering "Help me."
He grins at me and runs a finger down my jaw, before punching me right in the nose, causing me to blackout.
As the scene goes blurry I hear five words go through my mind.
"Remember who you're working with."
I jolt awake, gasping and out of breath. My heart races as I reach for the lamp switch beside me.
What could a dream like that mean?
Is it a warning?
Maybe I'm just being paranoid.
