"We've been over this I did not try to kill my self, some one broke into my room!" Nick's voice rose in volume, he was really starting to hate this, he still felt groggy from what they had used to knock him out, his chest was on fire, and he really wanted out of those dang restraints. He pulled at them for the umpteenth time that afternoon trying to get a little lee way but, hadn't, as of yet, had any success in doing so.
"That won't do you any good Mr. Stokes, those aren't coming off until you can conduct your self like a rational adult." The doctor pointed out, not for the first time.
"When can I see my friends?" Nick asked changing the subject, and giving the doctor a look that would send Satan screaming for his mother.
"Not until I say you can. Mr. Stokes, your were attacked in your home, can you tell him want happened?" Dr. Newman asked, Nick just blinked at him.
"Uh...not really, no." He answered, Dr. Newman turned back to him an evil smirk on his face.
"I'll tell you want Mr. Stokes you tell me about the attack and I'll take off you restraints." Dr. Newman offered. Nick felt a knot growing in the pit of his stomach some thing was definitely off with this guy.
"look she forced me to ejaculate for her, what more is there to say?" Nick told him.
"And how did feel when you remember what had happened?" Dr. Newman Asked coming to stand at the side of Nicks bed, his hand coming to rest on the cuff around Nick left wrist.
"Violated, dirty." Nick answered honestly, Dr. Newman released to buckle on the strap.
"What did you tell your friends about it?" He asked.
"I told them what I remembered but not how a felt, it's what helped clear my name." Nick explained.
"Why not their your fiends wouldn't they understand your feelings?" Newman continued to play with the cuff, it was starting to irritate nick and pulled his wrist to free it form the now loose cuff.
"I guess they might, but I've never been one to open up easily." Nick replied, moving his wrist again testing the cuff, he could about pull his hand free, when the doctor grabbed his wrist and held it down.
"Hey." Nick tried to pull free of the grip but it only tightened, nick felt his hand being pulled back into the cuff and felt the leather against his skin as it was pulled tight.
"why did you call for your supervisor when they arrested you at your lab?" Newman asked Nick winced as he tried to move his wrist around.
"I don't know I wasn't really thinking about at the time I just knew he'd help me." Nick answered, in truth he really hadn't thought about who's name to call he just called out the first name he could think of.
"Do you think of him as a father figure of some kind?" Dr. Newman asked, and Nick felt the same unease as before.
"I guess I don't know like i said I never really thought about it." Nick answered.
"But you want his approval, for him to be proud of you?" Newman asked, Nick was tiring of these bogus questions, and his wrist was starting to hurt.
"I don't know never thought much about it." He replied.
"Well, it's time for your next dose of sedative so I'll leave you to rest, we'll pick this up later." Newman turned to leave but just as he made the door to turned back to nick.
"I allow you to have only to of your co works come see you." And with that he was gone.
"No please no more drugs I want stay awake. Please" Nick pulled at the cuffs he winced his left wrist was on fire and he was losing the feeling in his fingers. He felt the needle pierce his skin and few minutes later he drifted to sleep.
When he woke up he heard voices whispering, but he could make out what they were saying. He lay waiting for the fuzzy feeling to wear off.
"Look I think he's waking up." One voice female pointed out, Nick lifted heavy lids and looked around at the two faces that hovered above him.
"Catherine, Warrick?" He crocked out, lifting a hand to his face, he stopped and stare at his hand as it hovered just above his eyes.
"When did that happen?" He asked aloud, Catherine chuckled.
"While you were napping the doctor had the nurse remove the restraints." She explained. Nick sighed and pushed himself into a sitting position.
"Where are you going?" Warrick asked placing a firm hand on his right arm Nick looked over at him.
"To empty my bladder you mind?" Nick asked throwing his legs over the side of the bed, he hopped down the from the bed and nearly did a face plant into the floor, Warrick caught him and held him up right until found his bearing and stood on his own.
"whoa, those drugs must still be working." Nick shrugged off and as made his way to the rest room across the room.
"Yeah you've been flat on your back for almost a week now so your legs have to get use to being used again." Warrick explained. When he finished, he came back out find the nurse waiting for him, nick eyed her warily.
"Time for your meds Mr. Stokes." She said a little cheery for Nicks taste.
What medication?" Nick asked, as far as he he hadn't been put on anything unless it was pain killers.
"Dr. Newman prescribed some anti depressants for you take." She handed him a small cup containing a small white pill. Nick handed her the cup.
"Well why don't tell Dr. Newman that i don't need any thing I'm not depressed." Nick sneered and went to get back into bed.
"I'm under strict instructions that if you refuse to take your pills you will be sedated and restrained." The nurse warned smile all but gone now, her face had taken on a sort of scowl, Nick swallowed hard and accepted the pill with out further argument swallowed them dry. She checked nick mouth before leaving satisfied that he had indeed taken the pill.
"Napoleonic power monger." Nick cursed as she lay back against the pillows.
"What would make the doctor think you need to be on an anti depressant?" Catherine asked. Nick shrugged.
"He talked to me before knocking me out last time, wanted me open up about what happened, he kept asking me all kinds questions." Nick explained.
"Like what?" Warrick asked.
"Like he wanted to know what i had told you about the attack, and then he started asking what I remembered and then he started asking about Grissom, why I called for him when they arrested me at the lab, and if I thought of him as a father figure." Nick explained.
"Isn't it his job to get you to talk about what happened?" Warrick asked.
"Yeah well why did you want to know what I told you?" Nick asked
"Maybe he's just trying to gage your level of comfort with us." Catherine suggested. Nick sighed and shrugged it off as nothing. Their conversation was ended when the good doctor himself came in holding a chart.
"Well are we having a nice visit?" HE asked Nick shrugged.
"It's fine." He answered.
"Well it's time for Nick and I to have our session again so i am afraid it's time to leave." He looked pointedly and Catherine.
"Well i guess we'll see you later Nicky get some rest." She kissed his forehead and he and Warrick banged knuckles and the two left, Nick felt his stomach grow tighter and the door closed behind them leaving him alone with Dr. Jekyll.
"How are you doing today Nick?" Dr. Newman asked.
"Fine, just fine." HE answered his voice a little shaky.
"Have a nice visit with your friends?" Nick nodded.
"It was great." he said, 'until you showed up' stayed in his thoughts.
"Now where did we leave off last time?" this was directed more at himself than Nick. Ah yes we were discussing her boss Gil Grissom." DR. Newman pulled up a chair and sat down leaning forward to look at Nick face.
"Why do you want to know about my boss." Nick asked
"I find it easier to help a patient when i know a little more about him." The doctor explained. Nick sighed.
"Now tell about you relationship with him." he asked.
"Well he's my boss, and friend." Nick explained
"And would you say you look up to him like he's a father figure?"
"I never really thought about but yeah I guess." Nick answered. He watched Dr. Newman jot down noted in his chart.
"okay how about the rest of you friends?" He asked Nick sighed, this was going to be a long day. He went on the tell about each of co-workers, then they talked about Nicks life Nick left out certain things he really didn't want to tread on or go into with a total stranger.
"Now tell about the attack at her house a few nights ago." the doctor tried Nick just sighed.
"all I can remember is her being on top of me when i woke up in the middle of the night and then she and her little helper molested me and then took off, after that everything very fuzzy." Nick explained.
"see not so hard to talk about things is it?" the doctor asked and graced Nick with a soft smile which Nick returned he felt the uneasiness in his stomach lift away.
"When can I get out of here?" Nick asked, the Doctor chuckled, I should have seen that one coming.
"How about we talk again to morrow and see how it goes then we'll talk about getting you up and out of here." He bargained Nick nodded and lay back tired yawning.
"Well I'll let you get some rest." And orderly came in holding a syringe Nick tensed.
"I think we can forgo any more sedation treatments he seem quiet improved now, just get some well deserved rest young man and I'll be back to speak with tomorrow." Nick waited for both to leave before allowing himself to drift off to sleep.
