Fourzeroseven POV
     Vanoss rushed in the room with a big grin a cross his face.  "I found a person to help 407 with his stutter."
      "That's good," Basically said putting an arm around my shoulder.  "Who is it?"
      "Her name is Dr. Minx.  She has an office just a few minutes away in town.  I scheduled a meeting for him at noon today so get ready to go."  Basically nodded and stood, still having his arm around my shoulder.  We walked to his bedroom and he got a set of clothes for me and himself.  He walked into the bathroom and left me to change.  I quickly did and waited for him to come back.  I looked at the time it was 11:40.  We should be leaving soon.  As if planned Basically came out of the bathroom in the new clothes right as I thought that.  He looked so handsome dressed up.  I felt a heat cover my face and I put my hands over my face to hide the blush coming on.  Basically chuckled and walked over to me. 
     "Come on." He put his arm around me and helped me up.  We walked out of the house to a black ford truck.  He opened the passenger door for me to get in and I did.  He then walked over to the driver side and got in.  "So you ready for this?" Basically asked me. 
     "Y y y yeah I I I a am," I stuttered out.   He just smiled at me and kept driving down the road.  After a few minutes we pulled into a parking lot of a large building.  The truck was parked and we got out and walked to the door.  When we got inside it smelt like a dentist's office.  Basically sat me down on the arm chair in the corner and went to sign me in.  When he left I sat there patiently waiting.   Soon he came back and sat next to me.  I smiled at him and leaned my head on his shoulder.  We stayed like that until a tall woman with brown hair and purple highlights came in.  She walked over to us. 
    "I'm guessing you are Basically and 407."
     "Yeah, And I'm guessing you're Dr. Minx."
     "Correct if you would please follow me to my office." We stood up and followed her down a hall to a small room with a desk and couch.  The walls had paintings of landscapes.  "Vanoss said you were a slave for some time, is that right?"  I nodded and looked down.  "Please use words."
     "Y y y yes th th th that is r r r right," I stuttered out. 
     "He was correct that is a nasty stutter.  We are going to do some exercises to help make out words, alright?"
     "Y y y yes." 
     "Okay let's start off simple.  Try saying okay until you don't stutter it out."
      "O o o okay.  O o okay.  Okay."
      "There you go now try it with the word right."
      "R r r r right.  R r r r r right.  R r right.  Right."
      "Very good now try saying home."  This is going to take a while, I thought to myself.
