Etta ran down the hall to the elevators and pressed the button for the lobby. Once the doors opened she saw Dr. Mulligan and ran into his arms. She knew it was inappropriate, but she needed somebody…anybody to comfort her. Keith had pressed a very sensitive button.
"I'm sorry, Dr. Mulligan. I just…Keith is in control and…" she said as she pulled away and saw the uncomfortable look on his face. "I'm so sorry." she said as she noticed Dr. Lisa Marks was with him and she wondered how they knew to be at the hotel. She didn't get to call him. "Wait, how did you know to come here?"
"Mrs. Knight called me. Do you know if Keith is still in his room?" he asked..
"Something happened between us. I bolted out of there. I'm sorry. I'm not being very professional, aren't I?" she asked as she wiped her tear-stained cheek.
"I won't say no. Though, I commend you for dealing with an unusual situation in a short amount of time. We must hurry to his hotel room." Dr. Mulligan said as they went to the elevator and pressed for Kendall's floor. "I've already briefed Dr. Marks on Kendall's case. She suggested we try to talk to Kendall, not Keith or Kendra." he said before Dr. Marks spoke.
"I would prefer to speak with Kendall himself in case his alters feels it's necessary to take over. I want to get as much information from him before his alters take over. Dr. Mulligan has already told me that his mother is his trigger, and his little sister has the opposite effect."
"Yes…" Etta said as they were in front of Kendall's hotel door. She took a deep breath before opening it knowing he had left the room unlocked. He was lying on the bed watching T.V. and she hoped it was Kendall. He looked over at her and a sly smirk came upon his face and she knew it was Keith. "You're still here, Keith…"
"Yeah…I was hoping we would finish what we started. Look, I even ordered porn to get you in the mood." he said and Etta turned towards the T.V. to see he was watching porn. She stared at him with a disgusted look on her face and he chuckled before seeing Dr. Mulligan and Dr. Marks. "Whoa, I didn't know you were so kinky, Etta."
"Etta," Dr. Mulligan began. "Why don't you and Dr. Marks go to the lobby and get a cup of coffee. I would like some alone time with Keith."
"Whoa, dude…I'm not into men. I mean, I could let Kendra take over and you can get your jollies that way, but I ain't touching you." Keith said and Dr. Mulligan rolled his eyes.
Etta and Dr. Marks left the room and walked down the hall. She wished she could help Kendall without having to deal with his alter personalities. It was exhausting trying to talk to him about his memory without his alters trying to emerge.
"Etta…" Dr. Marks said as they were inside the elevator. "Why are you so invested in Kendall's case if you don't mind me asking."
"I don't know. I guess…well, it all started when I learned that his mother had an affair with another man just as my mother did. I could relate to everything he felt…his mother's betrayal, the toll the divorce took on his family life, the anger and rage. He's such a sweet guy."
"Well, I've never had the opportunity to converse with Kendall, I will take your word for it. I'm just a little confused as to why Dr. Mulligan is so interested in this case."
"I don't know why, either…" Etta said as they arrived at the lobby and went to the Starbucks located in the lobby. They each ordered a mocha latte and waited. "I guess it's because it's such a unique case. I mean, Kendall is sort of a high-profile person to take on as a case. We have little time to do this. It could be a number of things…"
"I guess. I have to admit, it's not anything we haven't seen before, but I guess there is a bit of a rush of adrenaline for him. You know, having to help this person in such a limited time. Plus, it's a bit more exciting to him than just teaching." Dr. Marks said as they got their coffee and headed towards the elevator. "So, you're one of his students, I'm guessing."
"Well, sort of. I took a class with him and will take more. I'm just preparing myself for this field by him mentoring me. I think, I'm failing and I haven't even started. Dealing with Kendall's alter personalities is frustrating and I can't help but be consumed by Keith."
"Well, from what I've witness, I can see how Keith can be consuming. Don't worry, you'll learn to look objectively at your patients. It takes time, but you eventfully get the hang of it. You just have to realize and never forget that you are human and some things will just draw you in. You just can't be consumed by it." Dr. Marks said and Etta nodded. Suddenly, Dr. Marks phone vibrated just as they were walking down the hall to Kendall's door. "I have to take this call. It's my husband. I'll be in there in a few…"
"Okay…" Etta said as she stood at the door and heard Dr. Mulligan talking to Keith. She had thought Kendall would emerge by now. What was taking him so long?
"You can deny this all you want, but I know you have a thing for Etta. Even if you're not fucking her, which I think you are, you're spanking it thinking about her."
"You know, Keith. You're right. I admit I have inappropriate feelings towards Etta…" he said and Etta's mouth flew open in shock. "I'm working through my feelings and trying to establish a healthy relationship with her and how I feel about her. The difference between you and I, Keith, is that I have self-control. I know what is inappropriate."
"Would saying that I fucked Etta right against that door be inappropriate enough for you?" Keith said with a chuckle in his tone. Etta shivered thinking about the sex with him and wanted to wash that memory out of her brain until she realized, Kendall had emerged mid-way through. "That upsets you, doesn't it? Perv. How old are you? 50?"
"Contrary to what you believe my inappropriate feelings towards Etta are not sexual. I admire her. More than I should. More than an instructor should. I'm taking on Kendall's case for her because I admire her so much. Any other student would get a number to a colleague of mine. She has real potential to be great in this profession."
"You don't want to know what it's like to be buried deep in her pussy…hearing her moan…making her come? That's bullshit, doc. You and I both know you want to fuck her young pussy so bad it kills you just to be in the same room with her…"
"Stop it, Keith!" Etta said as she burst into the room and Dr. Mulligan stood there.
"Etta? H-How long w-were you standing there?" Dr. Mulligan asked and she sighed before staring at Keith. He was smirking as if he knew she was standing there the entire time.
"I heard enough, and we'll discuss it later. First, we have to get rid of Keith." she said before turning to Keith. "You think you're so fucking tough and you got everyone figured out. You're nothing. You know what…everyone can be fooled by you, but I know Katie won't."
"You bitch! Don't you ever bring up Katie!" Keith said and Etta smirked. She was hoping mentioning his sister would force Kendall back.
"Come on, Keith. You know you can't be a good big brother to her and you know Kendall is better…" Etta said and Keith gripped his head and screamed. "Just let Kendall out so he can be with Katie!" she said before another scream was released before it stopped and she knew it was Kendall. He looked up at her with soft eyes of confusion as Dr. Marks entered.
"Shall we start the session, now?" she asked and everyone, slowly, nodded.
