Chapter 1 News and Exasperation
"Uh…" Zane stretched. It was way too early. Even by his standards. And he usually woke up before the orderlies.
Zane groaned, cursed under his breath, and sat up in his bed. His attention shifted from the white picture less walls to the ugly (almost) bare floors.
His was a small room. A bed, a table, and a bathroom all white.
"I have a bad feeling about today…"
Beatrix sighed. Being warden was harder than in the job description. Much harder. Especially for a 4ft, 20 year old, girl. Beatrix set down the folder she was holding and sighed again, this time running her thin fingers through her ebony hair.
"Well might as well take a look at the new arrival's folder."
Beatrix spread open the folder on her desk and scanned over it:
Nicholie Loom Tophet
Age: 16
Weight: 102 lbs
Height: 6.3ft
Eye color: Left eye, blue. Right eye, green
Gender: Male
Hair color: orange
Fair skin
No known family.
Beatrix rolled her eyes. He seems like a typical guy. The next part she added aloud. "So why is he in here?"
Zane gave a melancholy sigh and stabbed (well not exactly, stabbing is hard with a plastic spoon) his eggs. They were bland just like all of the food here.
Zane was about to reach for the salt when the loudspeaker cracked.
" Zane Quimmel to the warden's office please…"
Zane rolled his eyes when the message repeated. I mean he was " insane" but come on he was far from stupid.
Beatrix turned off the loud speaker with a click.
Zane was the sanest patient here, if anyone could ease the new guy into the daily routing it was Zane.
Beatrix lit a cigarette, took a puff, and after a moment heard a knock at her door.
Beatrix groaned, " Just come in" and wasn't surprised when Zane opened the door and stepped in.
Beatrix cast the brunette an approving glance before snuffing her cigarette in a small ashtray on her desk.
" Zane as you may, or may not know we have a new arrival in your wing."
Beatrix was about to go on when she glanced at Zane.
She and Zane had a complicated relationship. He'd always insisted on calling her 'Bea'… another thing about Zane, was that he was completely normal looking.
Beatrix scanned the figure not ten feet from her desk. Yup brown hair, brown eyes, 5ft 6 (way taller than her) yup completely normal looking... Beatrix paused, well except for the twitching and all…
Beatrix's musings however were interrupted by Zane tactfully clearing his throat. "Err… you wanted to see me, Bea?"
"Why yes Zane you see a new patient has been put in your wing" At this Beatrix motioned for Zane to sit down in one of the rattan chairs in front of her desk.
"Zane in all of my time here, you've become a close friend and as a friend I'd like you to do me a favor".
Zane sarcastically cocked his head at this " faaaaavoooor?"
Beatrix leaned forward and set a file in front of Zane "This favor I, want you to make nice with the new guy."
Zane inwardly chuckled a bit. You would never expect a girl like her to be so blunt.
Beatrix leaned forward slightly more, her long black hair swishing forward "Please Zane." She paused a blush slowly crept up, painfully obvious against her pale skin.
" Here's his file, his room number is 80 just a few doors down from yours. You are dismissed."
