"Ok, come in, come in". Edd went behind them, closing his large, brown wooden door. "If you have air-pumps on, try not to jump to the ceiling". "I know, it's pretty intimidating in here". He joked. They both laughed, taking a seat. "That's a nice poster you have". Abigail said, looking over at the "Maya Angelou" poster. "Oh, thank you". "I found it at the Manchuen Culture Festival, for only $24.99". He situated some things before sitting down, cross-legged, hands folded, on a swivel chair in front of them. "I find it to be a source of inspiration myself". Hoagie commented. "Well, she is a forefront for day-motivation". Edd organized, and kept up with the files, on Alex. He shared a look with the two, as they sat, steadily ready to hear the report.
"Alex has been happy". Abigail brought up. "I'm sure you got the same impression here". "Yes, how was she?". Hoagie asked. "She was pretty pensive the entire time". Edd remarked. "She did have a minor spat at the beginning". "She's been like that for the past 3 days". "We believe it may have something to do with her previous state and traumatization occurring along with it". Abigail said in whisper. "She's been taking the "Circa Monom", and reports having nightmares, as well as depressed feelings coinciding with". Hoagie stated. "This morning, she was bawling continuously". "She of course hasn't receiving any emotional support from any health based facilities anywhere". "Well", Hoagie reminded. "She hasn't had any problems until just recently".
"Mm, she's been having nightmares for over 5 years, and hasn't affirmed her parents of it". Abigail hummed softly. "I'm aware of that". Edd said, directed toward them. "She has had a tendency to be quite haughty". "Although she did request an on-hand mental, and rato-emotive specialist". "We're thinking of changing her sleep officiant to "Deprixin" ". Edd showed them these results. "If it helps, she can hopefully deplete herself of these nightmares". "Of course, it won't kick in until five days afterward". He informed. "Now is there a certain schedule aligned with weaning her off of the "Circa Monom?, or…". "Not usually, if the patient has been quiet for a while, we'll recommend they take the newer, moderate dosage right away". "Been moot?". Abigail asked. "She's been taking Circa Monom for a while now, shouldn't we wait a couple days, see how she sleeps?". "She hasn't been taking her regular dosage, from what I hear". Double D said. "Hasn't?". Hoagie asked. "She told us she was taking it, when we, suggested it to her". "Huh, that's weird". "If the reoccurrence of nightmares is seen, without the use of medication, she evidently hasn't been taking it". "Oh, so she lied to us". Abigail glanced around, after receiving this information from Double D. "that's wonderful". She said, sarcastically. "why would she lie to us about that?". Hoagie asked. "She probably didn't want to take it". "Ahh". Edd said. "She's been depressed with the use of medication". "She often reports nightmares involving a "Splinter Cell", whatever that is". They talked amongst themselves about her. Their conversation, remained gentle, and soft, much like Edd's nature.
"Mm". "These nightmares are of course, a source of early abuse, and neglect". Edd said gently. "We're aware". "We just feel bad for her, and we want to help her, in any way possible". Abby replied, softly. "I do too". "Although, she is a very unique, and intelligent girl". Edd smiled, kindly. "She has a bright mind, that will take her to extraordinary heights". "Yes, but, her depression is just, something we're worried about". "She's never been like this". Abby said, in a soft whisper. "She needs to learn to open up, and trust some people". "She's been good with me, so far". Edd replied in a whisper. "Yeah?". Abby asked. "Her and I have employed an open dialogue that involves calm, active listening, and active advising". Edd smiled. "She has been requesting to talk specifically to me, for her therapy". "That's good". Abigail said. "She'll develop a trusting relationship with me, soon enough". Edd whispered. "Yeah, she should, bein' that we're what she's got for now". Abigail said. "I've employed the tactic of being very calm, and feminine in nature". Double D added. "She's always responded well to women, hasn't she?".
"Yeah, she's a fan of the girls". Abby added. "We believe it's due to the amount of illegitimate influence had by middle aged males, in the first 3 months of life". Hoagie said. "What would you mean by…"influence"?". Edd asked. "Abuse". Abby whispered, pursing her lips. "Yes, she's always responded well to the understanding, gentle, warm, nature of the mother figure". Edd whispered, with a tiny amount of silky essence in his voice. "I figured that would embed an amount of trust, between us". "That and wearing a silky, nylon, fabric seems to allow her to open her trust better". Abigail said, softly. "I've noticed". Edd smiled, insightfully. "The silk of the nylon fabric, with its airy feel, and light texture, brushes against the patient's face just so...calming them". "How would you know..?". Abby asked.
"I've worn it to many of our….meetings". Edd smiled. "Meetings, huh?". Abby muttered. "Oh, yes, we're dating, currently". Edd whispered. "Oh, that's nice". Hoagie smiled, gently. "For how long?". "5 months now". Edd replied. "Good, good". "She has developed in her interpersonal areas, regarding relationships, quite significantly". Edd added. "She has done well". "That's good". Abigail said. "There, currently is another I know who is dangerously similar to Alexandria". Edd brought up. "Oh yeah?". Hoagie asked. "Yes, her name is Judy Sorensen, my Ex's former next -door neighbor". "Mm, and what is she like?". Abby asked. "She unfortunately had been heavily abused as an infant, resulting in major injuries associated with brain structure". Double D continued. "Mm, by her birth parents?". Abby asked. "Judy's been through 7 families before she had been adopted by one, who had truly cared for her". Edd said, softly. "Mm, and how old is she?". Hoagie asked. "In her late 60's". Edd replied. "Do you often care for her, commonly?". Hoagie asked. "As a matter of fact, young man, I do". Edd replied. "I often help her with bills, household tasks, cooking, cleaning, and medical records, as well as insurance matters". "Does she have a job?". Hoagie asked. "No, currently, she is receiving benefits from the Social Security office, while remaining in assisted living". Double D said.
"That's sad". Abby mumbled. "She is a very happy, good natured, affectionate, and productive woman". Edd said. "Although, her IQ, is below average, due to the amount of abuse enacted". "That's a shame". Hoagie said. "Luckily, Alex's IQ has been spiked due to". "At this rate, IQ, is the least of worries". Edd continued. "Those who have experienced early infant maltreatment, display trouble sleeping, odd appetite, heart troubles, and a line of factors that can conjugate into their well-being". "Yeah, Alex has been goin through that". Abby said. "Holistic approaches, such as meditation, spiritual guidance, psychotherapy, and talk circles have proved successful in the past". Edd said. "I'll recommend wellness rehabilitation, and meditation centers for Alex in the near future". "Until then, she should continue taking her medication". "Well, that is grand". Hoagie said. "Alex is perfect, is she not?". Edd said. "Although hopefully this medication will slowly ease her mind back to a 100%". He said, smiling. "Yes, and we'll talk to her about her actions, and get her started on that". Abigail said. "Yes, talk to her about lying, and the effects of lying on relationships, family, and emotional health". Edd said, gently. "Because lying can further sever trust, and cause further damage to the already severely bruised spirituality of Alex's trust, and capability of forming bonds". Double D explained.
"The stress, and innate, natural, familiarity of stress revolved around broken relationship, and further neglect can cause Alexandria's depression to worsen". He continued. "In order to truly keep her at her usual happy, higher ground, relationships, and further bonds must be maintained". He whispered. "We'll get her recommendations for therapy, right away". Edd said. "Well, it certainly is a process". Hoagie said. "It is". Edd assured. "We'll get through this". Abby whispered. "We certainly will". Edd smiled. The gentle, soft, quiet, nice, and relaxing, and supportive nature of it all then came to a screeching halt, as they glanced around quickly, seeing that no one was in the hallway.
They then made off for the secret small blood testing room, in a hidden corner of the office space. Shutting the door to this space, Edd then asked them, in a low, scandalous, voice. "How's the experiment going?". "We've been making headway, data has been copied, and Nigel will soon send the results to main headquarters of the Galactic Kids Next Door". Hoagie said. "Copies of her information regarding birth, health, height and weight, and previous history have been uploaded". He stated. "This will determine the hypothesis of adults and their never- ending string of cruelty on kids from an early age". "We've been using Alex as a test subject". "Oh good". "Good". "Hopefully Nigel gets accepted, I'm sure". Edd said. "She truly is lucky for someone with this kind of treatment". Abigail said. "Usually their IQ levels are at a significant low for up to, well, for as long as they exist". "We've been observant and tactful of how crucial influences are". Seriously, thank you for taking care of her". Abigail said. "We very much appreciate it".
"I've known her since the day her family agreed to take her". Abigail said, in a whisper. "She's always idolized me". "Really? ". Edd asked. "she'll confide in me, she does admire my go get it spirit, but for as long as I've known her she's been a fan". Abigail said. "I love helpin' her". Abigail whispered. The three of them then agreed. "She is attaining massive goals". Edd said, his purple tongue remained in cheek. "I figured with her, to just go along with it, and support her". He muttered. "She needs it". His then, cracked, lips pursed. "She is, and it must've been subjective for you". Abigail said. "Support is crucial for her, at her level". Edd said, in a low voice. "I figured being nice, would bolster her confidence a bit,and relay Qa bit of tolerance for her from me". Edd continued. "I'd just help her out a bit". He muttered. "She needs it". "You've certainly been great for her". Abby continued. "Thank you". Edd muttered. "No, thank you". Abby said. "Sure". Edd said, gently. "She needs the appreciation". "They all do". Abigail muttered. "Mm". Edd nodded understanding.
"Alright, her parents will be getting a copy of these results here". He took out a copy of her file. "So, rely on the system to upload her information to your computer at a rapid pace". "you should get these results in one business day". His thin lips pursed into a thin line. "Nigel can then send these to the Galactic KND, whenever he's ready". He said, in a low, scandalous, voice. "Mmm hmm". Abigail and Hoagie nodded. Receiving the results, Abigail's thick, red lips remained a flat, analytical nature about them. Hoagie looked around, with a plain, yet knowing look on his face. She then slipped the results into her purse. "Ok, well I have a patient due in less than a half an hour". Edd stated. "It was nice seeing you again". "Tell Nigel I send him my best". "Seriously, thank you for taking care of her". Abigail said. "We very much appreciate it". "She isn't the first disabled person I've been complacent with". Edd said, in a low voice. "Yes?". Hoagie asked. A soda bottle sat on the table in there.
"I find being altruistic brings forth a level of tolerance with the families". He said. "That is true". Abigail hummed softly. "I've known her since the day her family agreed to take her". Abigail said, in a whisper. "She's always idolized me". "Really? ". Edd asked. "she'll confide in me, she does admire my go get it spirit, but for as long as I've known her she's been a fan".

Edd then led them out of his office. "Mm thank you so much for helping her". Abigail whispered. "We appreciate it". "Yes, thank you". Hoagie said. "Ok, of course. Come back again soon". Edd said, closing his door. "Ok, goodbye". They called. "Bye". Edd said, finally closing his door. He then sat down at his desk. "Hmm". He thought. "I wonder exactly what the GKND does".
After collecting Alex, they left the doctor's practice office, nudged in a plaza beside a creek. Down the floor elevator they went, out the glass door to cross the bridge from the plaza to the parking lot. The air was cold and whispy, as Abigail buttoned up her jacket. "Mm, Iss freezin out here". She complained. "It was completely normal before, I don't get it". "Hmmm, that's odd, we've never experienced this drastic of a change in temp before". Hoagie added. Alex sneezed behind them, as Abigail turned around. "oh...I'm sorry...I…". she looked up at them, nervously. "Mm, it's ok, baby". Abigail said softly. "You're fine". She bent down, seeing the prescription in Alex's pocket. "So what'd the doc tell you to do?". "You have to take some medicine?". Alex just looked at her. "You know, with the ooey, gooey pink stuff that's no fun". Abigail smiled at her. "I have to take another sleep medication". Alex said. "Mmmm, what kind, baby babe?". Abigail asked. "um….I'm sorry….I...I'm having a hard time reading this". Alex looked up, concerned. "Well, let's see". Abigail assured. "Mmmmmk, one nightly dosage of….Deprixin?". She cocked her head to the side. "What in blue blazes is Deprixin?". "Deprixin is a minimally invasive sleep enhancer designed to help with the depletion of interferences, such as nightmares, night terrors, or sleep anxiety". Hoagie informed. "Oh, ok". Abigail said smartly. "How can you be so dang smart wit all this moolah, and still make bad jokes?". She asked. Reading off the tab". He waved, smiling. "Mmm, that figures". Abby said. "come on, lemon pie". She lightly brushed Alex's back. "Let's get a move on, baby babe".
