A pale blonde sat across from me. She adjusted her glasses, eyeing my hands which had been handcuffed to the table before her arrival.
"Cameras are off." She announced, pointing to two of the cameras mounted on the wall. I didn't bother checking, my eyes never left hers. "Anything you say is confidential. Dr Taylor is no longer your doctor, I will be handling your treatment." Lazily my eyes scanned her, she seemed to want me to speak. My hunch was proven as she observed a chart then asked a question. "According to blood tests last time you had your medication was six days ago. How are you feeling?"
Dandy.
My nails began to roll on the table, clicking with each collision. Harleen sighed. "I was told about who you are, or at least what he wants you to do." I ceased movement, sliding my gaze over to the doctor. A smile twitched at her lips and perhaps confident that she managed to grab my attention, she continued, "I can act as a communicator between the two of you. Maybe even set up meetings."
My head bobbed. I remained silent.
Her mouth drifted opened and words appeared stuck in her throat. Awkwardly she began, "I do need to put you on some type of medication although. If another doctor glances at your chart — after what happened last week — they might think my method isn't the right one, and take it to the Warden. So I'm prescribing a drug that will control your impulses." My mouth twitched. Now that I bore some clarity I found that I disliked having a fuzzbrain.
For the first time in the conversation, I spoke. "Side effects?"
Harleen's eyebrows went up in surprise. She gathered herself and answered, "I can't think of all of them off of the top of my head. But there's nausea, loss of appetite, dizziness. I can print you a list if you like."
I shook my head.
"Okay," Harleen stood. "I think we covered all that we needed. I'll talk to you soon Anna."
I watched her leave. Her heels clicked against the floor methodically, her high blonde ponytail swaying with each step. I wondered vaguely if I could walk in heels as high as those.
