The Fix

Chapter 1

Bill sat quietly in his office, looking through his piles of paperwork. "Someone's here to see ya doc" Betty said peeking into his office without knocking. Sighing Bill waved his hand "send them in- and knock for Gods sake."
She left the room with out a word closing the door behind her rather harshly. Quickly walking back Betty put on her fake smile and let the patient know the "doc" was ready to see him.
Bill straightened up his files and found his list of patients for the day. Trailing his finger down the list he found the persons name for the current time. "Alec Hardy." He mumbled to himself.
There was a knock on his door. "Come in" Bill said glancing up from his papers.
Silently and almost shyly (but somehow angerly??) walked in Alex Hardy. "Hi-" he said uncomfortably. "Yes um, why don't you take a seat" Bill said motioning to a chair in front of his desk.
Alec sat down stiffly. Taking off his glasses Bill looked through his papers on his new patient. "So-" Bill said clearing his throat. "Tell me a little about your... issue."
"Emmm.."
"Could you tell me when it all started?"
"Yea emm,, it was about 3 months ago?"
Bill shifted in his seat and began writing down some notes. "Mhm?"
"And em... well I was trying to you know- get off" Alec said motioning his hands around.
Bill glanced up and nodded silently.
Hardy sat there awkwardly.
"...go on" Bill said looking at him almost annoyingly.
"Well this is exactly easy to talk about" Alec said angrily.
"I'm sure it's not, but I need you to elaborate"
"Well your sure as hell not making it easy for me"
"Look, I don't normally ask the questions. That's Virginia's job, but she's- she's not here right now" Bill said in an almost desperate tone.
"Now, if you could please explain you're issue to me in as most detail as possible that would be great."

Alec rubbed his eyes trying to hold back his ever burning anger at anything and everything.
"Right em- well like I said I was you know... And I couldn't."
"So in other words your incompetent?" Bill said rubbing his temple while writing down some more notes.
"Yeah, I suppose I am." Alec said somewhat annoyed.
This was going to be a long session and journey for the both of them.
After Alex had given Bill the required information, they discussed a treatment plan. But that included coming in and working with a partner.
"A partner?? And YOULL BE WATCHING??"
"Yes, that's how things typically go."
"That's disgusting!!! It's-it's basically prostitution!"
"It's not prostitution Alec"
"My ass!!"

Betty could hear Hardy yelling from his office. She smiled awkwardly at the patients in the waiting room. "This doesn't normally happen."

Bill sighed heavily. "Look, do you want help or not? We have the best treatment plans on the market. This is as good as its gonna get. We cure 95% of our patients."
Alec was breathing rather heavily. "Fine I'll think about it."
"Great, I'll write down some things I'd like for you to practice leading up to your first session." Bill said in a monotone voice.
Handing over the paper, Alec nearly ripped it out of his hands. "Oh my god- you cant expect me to do this" .
"I'd like you to practice every night."
"God dammit"
Alec got up and looked around the room. "Right well-" he said clearing his throat, "I'll be off.."
"Goodbye Mr Hardy."
