Asylum chapter 3
*Kane*
When the hell are they going to come in here I have to have been here for hours and I'm still in my ring gear. He thought. And I need to pee.
Getting back up Kane went to the door and began kicking it. That should get some attention. He decided continuing to kick the door. I just hope they don't decide to leave me alone longer because they think I'm getting violent.
It's about time. Kane thought when he finally saw the door opening.
"Step back." Kane heard and did it.
"Why are you kicking the door?"
How the hell do I answer you idiot. Didn't Vince tell you I can't speak?
No he probably didn't bother to tell you that did he? How can I get you to understand I need this damn jacket off and I have to use the toilet? Kane wondered.
I'll just turn my back toward him and hope he gets the hint. Kane thought trying not to embarrass himself by doing the pee pee dance even though he really had to go.
"You want the jacket off do you?" the orderly said. "I'll have to ask your doctor.
Kane turned and nodded that he understood. Please hurry he thought feeling like the thing was getting tighter and tighter all the time.
*Rick/Dr Whalen*
"What do you need Rick?" Whalen asked as the orderly walked through his office door.
"That new guy, the one with the mask want's out of the strait jacket." Rick said.
"Leave him a little longer then take him out of it and to the facilities. He's probably in need of them by now." Whalen said.
"Ok," Rick said leaving the office.
"And put him back in that same cell when you're done."
"Back in the padded cell? Isn't that a little unusual he's been in there all night already." Rick asked.
"I'm told this is very volatile. He need to be away from people for a while." Whalen said.
"If you say so Doctor." Rick said exiting the room.
That is really weird the guy seems calm enough. Rick thought, except for kicking the door. He could have been doing that to get attention though.
*Kane*
Where is that guy? He must have seen the doctor already. When the hell is he coming back I can't breathe. Kane thought.
Pacing the room Kane tried to keep it together but he was having a harder and harder time breathing.
Keep it together this thing is no tighter than it was earlier and the room isn't getting smaller. Kane told himself repeatedly.
*Rick*
Opening the door he saw the man pacing.
"Come here." Rick said.
Kane turned and walked to the orderly.
"Can you stay calm?" Rick asked. Staring Kane right in the face.
Yes, Kane thought nodding.
"Good, turn around and I'll get you out of this thing." Rick said.
Finally! Kane thought, feeling the straps I the back being loosened.
"There you go." Rick said as he pulled the jacket off of Kane at last.
I can breathe. Kane thought taking a deep breath and starting to move his arms around to stretch them after being confined for so long.
"I'm going to take you to the men's room now." Rick said.
Thank god. Kane thought.
Rick took his arm and began to lead him down the hall.
What does he think I am an invalid I can walk on my own. Kane thought trying to pull his arm away. The orderly just tightened his grasp.
"Relax, or I have to put you back in there without using the bathroom." Rick said
I'm relaxing, Kane thought, but he didn't try to pull away again.
"You have to leave the door open a little bit." Rick said.
He thinks I'm gonna fall in now. Kane thought disgustedly. But he left it open a bit.
He seems fine. Rick thought. But ii have to follow Whalen's orders.
Kane came out of the bathroom and the orderly waited for him to wash his hands and dry off.
Then led him by the arm back toward the padded cell.
I don't want to go back in there jacket or no jacket. Kane thought trying to slow down so the guy would get the message.
"You have to go back to your room." Rick told him. "Doctor's orders."
I'm not going back in there. Kane thought stopping at the door and placing his hands on the door jam.
"If you don't go in on your own I'll have to call for help to get you back in there. If I have to do that you might end up back in the jacket." Rick said threateningly.
So I'm going back in no matter what. Kane thought. But is it worth staying out for just a few minutes and ending up with the jacket back on.
No, Kane thought his shoulders slumping in defeat.
"Good like I said relax." Rick said.
Taking a deep breath as if it would be his last Kane walked back into the padded cell.
I don't care if he calls it my room. It's a damn padded cell. Kane thought.
Walking in he paced a little then with nothing better to do he sat down in the corner farthest from the door and closed his eyes.
**** Dreaming****
Where am I? Kane wondered when he found himself walking down a street. I know this isn't right I'm not supposed to be out. If father finds me out here I'm screwed.
Which way is home? I need to get back now. Kane thought.
Walking the streets taking lefts and rights Kane became more and more convinced that he'd never find home. Never see father again.
Then he heard sirens.
Where are they? Are they after me? Father said if I got caught they would take me away. Kane thought beginning to run.
I have to get away. Kane thought, turning down this street and that trying to get away from the sirens but they seemed to be everywhere.
I'm surrounded Kane realized.
**** END DREAM ****
*Dr. Whalen*
I think I'll leave him in there till at least tomorrow. Then we'll remove his mask and let him out if he stays calm. Vince said he'd hate to have his mask off so I should be sure to remove it.
I don't know why Vince hates this guy but it's good for my wallet. Whalen said to himself
And if he goes nuts with us taking the mask off more the better I can leave him in that cell as long as I deem necessary.
I think I'll deem it necessary for a while. He thought laughing to himself.
Only I know who he is so unless he tells someone he's screwed. And since he's a dangerous man he'll not be allowed a pen and paper so he can't tell anyone even if he wanted to.
*Kane*
That was one hell of a dream Kane thought waking up. I remember that all too well.
I was about 15 or 16 I'm not sure which and I was out of the house again this time at night. Next thing I know I'm surrounded by cops with their guns drawn all pointing at me.
No wonder I hate people. Kane thought. They never gave me a chance like the people here.
*Rick*
At least he went back in quietly. I wouldn't like to try to force that huge guy to do anything and by the time I got help I'd probably be hurt. Rick thought, as Kane walked into the padded room.
He watched Kane pace for a little while then left.
*Kane*
Getting up Kane tried to pace the dream out of his system.
I won't think about that I won't. Kane told himself.
But the memories kept seeping into his brain. Little by little he began to panic to pace faster and faster rubbing his hands together and wringing them.
*Rick*
I'll just check on him one more time before I go off shift. Rick decided. Looking into the room he saw Kane asleep but jerking and twitching.
He's having a nightmare. Rick realized. Must take a lot to scare this guy, I doubt much could.
I've already briefed Joe the shift supervisor on him. Though there wasn't much to tell we don't' even know the guy's name. Rick thought, as he turned to go.
*Kane*
Finally Kane grew tired and sat down again in the corner.
I hope they bring me something to eat soon I'm starving. Kane thought trying to take his mind off the old memories.
That was a long time ago. I survived it and I will survive this. Kane said with determination.
Kane was sitting quietly with his head hanging down so his hair would cover his mask when the door opened.
"Hey you." He heard. "You hungry."
Yes, Kane thought standing and nodding.
"Shower first and change. Then you can eat." The voice said harshly.
Sounds good to me. Kane thought, suddenly realizing he probably smelled because he'd had a match and been taken here straight away.
Kane was led into a large shower.
"Strip down." Joe said sternly.
Well I didn't expect to shower dressed. Kane thought moving to do as he'd been told.
Almost immediately after he'd removed his clothes he was told to turn around.
I'm showering with my mask on or didn't they see it. Kane wondered, but he turned around putting his back to them.
What the fuck! Kane thought when he was suddenly hit by a hard stream of ice cold water. The pressure of the water pushed him up against the wall in front of him.
He put his arms up to brace himself so he wouldn't be forced face first into the wall.
"Now turn around and raise your arms." Kane heard.
No way. Kane thought I don't want that stream of water in my face I won't be able to breathe.
"I said turn around." The voice repeated.
Kane didn't move.
Without warning the spray was directed at the back of his knees and he was knocked off his feet.
"When I tell you to do something you'll do it!" the voice shouted harshly.
The spray was redirected for a moment and Kane was able to gain is feet.
"Now face me and raise your arms boy." The voice directed.
I don't seem to have a choice. Kane thought turning around. Immediately the high pressure spray was back shoving him back against the wall.
Kane tried blocking his face with his hands but it was no use the spray was just to forceful it made it past his hands and into his eyes, nose and mouth.
He's going to drown me. Kane thought, coughing and choaking.
Just as suddenly as it had been turned on him it was gone.
Kane rushed forward grabbing at the men who were gathered there in a rage.
I will kill them for that. He thought trying to get his hands on someone anyone.
The spray turned back on holding him against the wall once again and making him choke.
"You try that again and you will know what real pain is boy. I'll have you shot full of drugs and then beat your ass into next week do you understand."
The spray went away again and Kane bent double trying to catch his breath.
"Much better." He heard finally looking up toward the voice.
I'm gonna remember that face. Kane decided and if I get the chance I will teach him about pain.
"Follow me." The voice said. Kane was led to a locker room type area and found a towel and a T-shirt and sweat pants laying on a bench.
"Be quick if you want to eat." The voice said. "Dinner time is almost over."
These things will never fit me. He realized looking at the clothes.
"Move!" the man ordered
Kane quickly dried off and pulled on the too small clothes.
I'm gonna tear the seat out of these the second I bend over just the smallest bit. Kane realized once he got the pants on. Pulling on the shirt he ripped he collar.
"Let's go." The man said taking his arm as the previous orderly had.
What and asshole Kane thought as the man led him into a larger room.
This is the kitchen Kane realized or a cafeteria of some kind. Kane realized looking around. Where is everyone? If it's dinner time shouldn't someone else be in here too.
Where is the asshole going? Kane wondered as the man walked away.
A tray was dropped in front of him.
Oh Kane thought realizing the man had just gone to get his tray.
Looking at it Kane realized it was cold because there was no moisture on the inside of the plastic container.
Taking off the top Kane looked at the food.
This wouldn't feed a mouse. Kane thought as the asshole dropped a plastic fork on the table.
I hope there is more than this. Kane told himself as he picked up the fork to eat.
Shit I'm still in my ring mask I can't eat. Kane thought looking at the food. I have to find a way to eat.
"You idiot eat. Take the stupid mask off and eat." The asshole said.
"No way." Kane thought. Sliding it up just enough to expose his mouth to eat.
Kane refrained from eating as fast as his stomach demanded. Instead he tried to take his time and not eat like an animal.
When it was gone Kane looked at the asshole.
Is there more he silently asked.
"If you're finished it's time to go." The asshole said.
Not really. Kane thought still hungry. He looked at his plate again then at the asshole. But the guy just stood there.
"Let's go." The asshole said taking Kane's arm and making him stand.
He's taking me back to the cell Kane realized as they began walking.
I can't go back in there why are they keeping me In a cell and not a room?
"I guess I should take you to the men's before I lock you back down." The asshole said. "Don't want you pissing on the floor in there.
Kane nodded his agreement and was walked to the men's.
"Leave the door open." The asshole said.
Kane started to close it a little bit so he wouldn't be seen. But he asshole held it open.
"Idiot I told you to leave it open."
Kane turned and did his business then washed up and walked out the door.
"This way." He said moving Kane back toward the cell.
