AN: Right first off I never expected to have a bit of recognition in a category were not many stories are written, can I just say to those who are writing or planning on writing outlast fanfics, good luck and keep up the great work! Second off I would like you guys to review this, I greatly appreciate comments on my work and can I just say to ShadingRose you brightened up my day with your comment. Okay, Okay so you've met the majority of the antagonists and protagonists of both Outlast and my story, but today is the day Eddie gets put in the engine and Waylon gets his first glimpse at the horror of Mount Massive Asylum. Taylor on the other hand has an encounter with Gluskin, how the hell that part popped in my head I do not know, but enjoy. Oh and don't forget Jeremy Blaire is an absolute dick!

Taylor woke up in the early hours of the day, nearly stumbling off of her chair, she was dreaming again, it felt so real. But it seemed her desk was her bed last night, she was stiff as hell. Taylor got up, showered and put her cargo pants and a green tank top which was rather showing and returned to her office cleaning Gluskin's file up. She couldn't give any less of a shit today, she was tired and she only had to watch Gluskin be subject to the engine today, who cares if she looks like a tramp.

"Knock knock" Jace peaked round her office door slowly to see a drowsy Taylor.

"Morning" Taylor said half asleep as she proceeded to put her lab coat on, she waited for a bit and looked at herself, she decided it didn't go and she put her boots on and picked up her file and faced Jace.

"What?" Jace shrugged

"Appreciate what you did last night Jace" Taylor smiled then yawned

"Don't mention it... Literally" Jace replied happily

"Seriously, I'm not exactly getting anything in a place full of blokes" Taylor stretched and walked towards Jace "you would not believe the shit that's been running through my head since yesterday" she sighed.

"Can it come later, Trager is after you" Jace gestured outside her office, they exited the office and as Taylor locked it, she got a sudden hot flush and leaned on the wall.

"You okay?" Jace spoke with a caring manner reaching out to her.

"Don't you see. It's the engine powering up, the energy of this place... It's buzzing... Taylor's special remember, she isn't affected by the major side effects, but the minor ones do look like they're taking their toll" Trager walked down the hallway quite happily

"Whoa what side effects?" Jace said looking at Taylor, she shook her head not telling and Jace looked at Trager.

"Headaches. Hallucinations. Feinting at worse... What am I saying, worse is her concupiscence manner..." Trager said sternly Jace looked at him with a serious face "...But thats just Taylor being sexually attracted to her patients" Trager laughed. The older executive was wearing rather casual clothes compared with yesterday, jeans, white buttoned shirt with a loosely done tie, an old biology teacher style v-neck jumper over the shirt and all topped off with his scruffy lab coat. It seemed that Taylor wasn't the only one who couldn't be bothered to dress herself properly this morning. But he seemed quite worse since yesterday, he was more jittery and his skin was darker than it was as well, or maybe it was the light.

"Fuck you, Trager. What'd you want me for?" Taylor said holding her head, the older grey-headed man stood for a while in contemplation.

"I don't know how to break this to you but... Snow's took ill... You're gonna be examining Gluskin..." Trager spoke seriously, Taylor dropped her hand and eyed Trager, he even backed off a little "full...physical...examination..." he continued as he adjusted his small round glasses.

"Like the one I did with Manera?" Taylor asked

"Yeah, but we find that Gluskin is better one-on-one and without restraints" Trager held out a clipboard "I even went through most of the paperwork for you. Save you the trouble" he smiled slyly, and with that he walked off. Taylor stood upright and began walking towards Gluskin's cell.

"Hey" Jace spoke as he grabbed Taylor's arm, she looked at him and bit her lip "physical exam? Like full? Like..." Jace trailed off

"Yeah, I get to touch up Gluskin" Taylor said sarcastically

"You did this with Manera?" Jace still gripped Taylor's arm

"Yeah but he was shackled. Anyway it wasn't full, the anaesthetic they gave him was wearing off by that time I couldn't go anywhere near that rabid guy. I think I've been in worse situations" Taylor grabbed Jace's hand and got it off her, she handed him the paperwork "hold that for me will you" she said as she opened the gate.

"You got to check if he is physically all in order right? That means you have to jerk..." Jace shook himself at the awful thought that entered his head.

"No, only up until a certain point..." Taylor managed to keep a straight face for a few seconds before breaking a smile "acknowledge the fact were adults and we are laughing at that... A few sounds is all that required... I think" Taylor breathed heavily, who the hell thought of that as a requirement for a physical examination? well you can get away with murder in this place, I guess that's just making things worse for the patients here she thought.

"What if he doesn't?" Jace asked as he looked at Taylor who looked to be very embarrassed about talking about male orgasms, Jace just wondered if Snow did it or just got the normal staff to do it, no wonder Gluskin was jumpy near the normal docs.

"Well then I can't tick that box can I?" Taylor smirked "you thought I would've said something else didn't you... Guess you were gonna say, 'wouldn't put it past you'" she added as she lowered her voice to mock Jace's voice.

"No no... So does that answer my question I said last night? The would you rather one?" Jace tried to cheer Taylor up.

"Yeah it does. Eddie is a much better looking and younger (33) choice than Chris" Taylor said as they walked along the last corridor, there were two guards standing outside of Gluskin's cell and their body language said they weren't happy. "Great..."

Server room.

Main lab.

Same time.

Waylon sat at his desk still contemplating whether he should send this journalist his findings at Mount Massive Asylum and risk getting kicked out of a job. Meh. I'll wait, make sure I get that last pay check, he thought as he leaned back in his chair relaxed from the humming of the servers. Waylon had took every precaution to make sure the Murkoff corp couldn't track his email, he even went as far as borrowing a laptop, something he would never do, he like his own one too much. The server room Waylon sat in was dark and quiet, no foot traffic going back and forth, no nosey people popping their heads in the door, just the way he liked it, even with the stuff that was going on around here, but it was his last day, so savour it he will.

Back at Gluskin's cell.

"Oh heres the couple" one of the guards said giddily

"Why are you two here?" Taylor asked gesturing at Gluskin's cell.

"Well, we usually get to chauffeur Mr. Gluskin around while Snow was examining him" the other one said

"What?, you want some alone time with your patients Winterbourne? I'm sorry but there are better people in this place to screw" the taller guard spoke and laughed at his own joke. Taylor stepped between the two guards and stuck the key in the cell door and opened it.

"No we haven't got the restraints out yet" the guard freaked, Jace clipped him on the shoulder hard.

"She knows what she's doing you prick" Jace said aggressively.

"Eddie. You've got me today instead of Dr. Snow" Taylor said calmly as she opened the cell door. Gluskin emerged from the darkness and looked at Taylor.

"Darling, you have kept more than your promise" Gluskin smiled, Taylor gestured out the cell and stepped back. The guards walked forward and Gluskin stepped back, Taylor turned.

"Back off. Now. Or leave" Taylor said defensively as she stood between the corridor and Gluskin

"Fine. We'll let you go first" the taller guard spoke and pointed with his rifle the way to the consultation rooms.

"C'mon now Eddie" Taylor used her hand to guide Gluskin out of his cell "we're going to the examination room, I'll be able to have a better look at you then" she smiled as she let Gluskin in front of her.

"You guys hang back" Jace spoke at the guards as they walked towards the consultation rooms "he's hardly going to do anything" Jace spun back around to see Taylor walking alongside Gluskin "see".

"He'll have a nice advance at her Jace, look at the way he jitters" the smaller guard pointed out something that Gluskin only did when Taylor was near him. "There's something dark in him and he's gonna let loose on Winterbourne" the guy giggled through his mask at his own double entendre. What a bunch of jerks Jace thought.

They entered the dim corridor, once again no one else was in session. The area had a different aura around it now the engine was on, completely different. They came to the end of the hall and to the last room on the left, Taylor opened the door and let Gluskin in first, she shut the door and waited for the guys to catch up.

"You okay?" Jace asked Taylor as he cradled his rifle.

"Yeah. Just..." Taylor held her head, her headache had subsided "don't buzz the intercom... Don't want to give him a fright" what Taylor wanted to say was 'whatever you hear don't come in' but she'd be locking the door and turning off the intercom. Jace nodded in acknowledgement as Taylor took the clipboard off him and held it. Taylor didn't brace herself for what she was going to do, she really didn't need to, he's a bloke, maybe a little crazy but still a man. She turned the handle and entered the room, she walked behind the screen and pulled the curtain all the way round. Gluskin had sat upright on the examining table still fully clothed.

"I feel somewhat better having you examine me darling, not that I do need a look over..." Gluskin said calmly as Taylor placed her clipboard on the table then got her stethoscope digital thermometer and other equipment out of the draw opposite the examining table and placed them on the desk she didn't hear Gluskin get off the examining table, but she felt his demeanor get closer, she didn't turn around to face him, she didn't mind. Taylor felt him brush his fingers through her hair and then he felt his way down her waist, he nuzzled his face into her neck like what he did the previous day, but this time felt different.

"Eddie, not now, please" Taylor turned around to face her patient, he moved his hands lightly on her hips, his blue eyes looked at hers, piercing but rather caring. He lifted his hand and brushed it across her cheek before grabbing the back of her head lightly, Taylor didn't struggle because he could easily hurt her, Gluskin pulled her into his chest and hugged her, she lifted her head and looked up at Gluskin "I'm going to have to examine you Eddie or else they'll really end up hurting you, putting you into the engine" she smiled as she felt for her stethoscope and grabbed it not daring to break the gaze between her and Gluskin.

"Anything for you darling" Gluskin let go of her slowly and backed up with her, Taylor found herself walking Gluskin back to his table, he took his discoloured long-sleeved shirt off, he was rather toned for a patient, most others were skin and bones, but Gluskin liked to look after himself. She checked his heart rate, slightly raised but alright, Taylor examined some scars off of the hormone therapy, they were cleaning up nicely. Taylor could feel his eyes looking over her body as she stroked her hand across the scars on his chest, he purred quietly but stopped when Taylor returned to her desk on the other side of the room.

"You're afraid to continue aren't you" Gluskin spoke as he looked at Taylor as she packed her things up opposite him "You're different from the others Darling..." he got up and tapped her bare shoulder, she turned around and Gluskin continued "...You know how to treat a man..." Taylor backed off a little from him, she hoped he wouldn't lash out on her. "...you care for everyone but yourself. I won't give up on you..." He walked her right onto the wall, he held her against the wall and pushed himself on her softly "I know you're worth all my effort" he smiled.

Taylor thought to her self, is he blinded by love? or his own fantasies? or could it be both? Taylor had to give Gluskin some stimuli she didn't know if she'd regret it or not but she thought it would be easier for her to 'examine' him further. Gluskin lowered his head and looked Taylor in the eyes.

"Your silence is unnerving" Gluskin tilted his head slightly, Taylor looked up, this couldn't be anymore awkward, his bare flesh was inviting but she wouldn't take any further than she had to. Taylor raised her hands and placed them on his shoulders, Gluskin flinched at the coldness of her hands and he inched his face closer. Taylor pulled Gluskin forward but he made a move first, his kissing was desperate but slow, his tongue delved for hers, if she never knew he was a patient here she'd assume he hadn't kissed in ages, Taylor helped him by slipping her tongue in his mouth a few times, a few moments later he managed to redeem himself and began passionately kissing Taylor, properly. Gluskin took his chance and slid his hands in between her legs and began teasing her. Taylor stopped and pulled his hand away from her erogenous zone and placed it on her waist.

"Not happening" Taylor breathed heavily as she looked at him, she knew she was on the home straight, she needed to do it but she wasn't sure if she made the right move to get Gluskin up. Taylor sighed as Gluskin kissed up her neck, she flexed her right hand as Gluskin gave her room to breath, he placed his right hand on the wall above her left shoulder while his other hand guided hers to his abdomen. Taylor felt her way down him, she closed her eyes trying to imagine it was someone else, but she simply couldn't, she wasn't going to pretend anymore, she admitted it to herself that she had a soft spot for Gluskin. Taylor's hand made it past the rim of his pants and continued past his boxers, she had forgotten how it felt to be this sexually close to someone, never mind a patient. It was awfully warm down there, not to mention hard. Taylor felt Gluskin flinch once again reacting to the coldness of her hands, he kissed her again and again groaning and moaning in the process as she moved her hand up and down his length, she didn't realise how long she'd been pleasuring him but when she came to her senses, she opened her eyes and stopped as she felt a slight pain on the left side of her neck, was he nipping at her neck? Taylor stopped and breathed heavily while wiping her hand on her cargo pants.

"Just like daddy used to do, only better" Gluskin looked down at his darling, he wanted her all to himself, just them two alone and no appointment to go to. He wanted to hear her pleasured moans, her crying his name from those sweet lips he had the great honour of kissing, her hands on his body while they make love. He wanted a family with her, a legacy, he wanted to be a father he never had. He smiled at his thought but understood now was not the time he backed off, slowly, his chest rose and fell as he tried to control his breathing.

"Get your stuff back on, we're leaving" Taylor spoke as she rubbed her neck were he had nibbled, she found it hard to grasp what exactly was going through her mind. Taylor pulled the curtain open and walked towards the door, she grabbed her clipboard and completed the paperwork, when she walked out the guards were silent, even Jace didn't say anything.

"What?" Taylor asked as she held the clipboard under her arm

"Nothing. Just you finished quicker than Snow does" the taller guard said, Taylor turned to see Jace sitting on the floor, she nudged him with her foot and he jumped.

"Tired?" Taylor smiled as she helped him up.

"You were in there for twenty minutes. I had to catch up on some sleep" Jace stood but looked behind Taylor at Gluskin, she turned as some scuffling began. The two guards were shoving him down the hallway.

"Hey! Don't treat him like that!" Taylor shouted down the hallway but they got in the lift before she cod catch up, she dropped to her knees when she heard an awful screeching sound, she clutched her head and cried out in pain.

"What's the matter?!" Jace came rushing to her aid and held her.

"The. Machine. They've put it on full whack" Taylor winced, then like the headache it dissipated. Both of them walked into the lift, Jace hit the button for the lab and looked at Taylor, who was holding her neck still.

"Whats wrong?" Jace asked as he fumbled to get his mask off

"Nothing" Taylor still kept her hand on her neck but she held the clipboard close to her chest.

"I guess Gluskin didn't give you any trouble?" Jace asked as he secured his mask on his belt Taylor shrugged "what's that supposed to mean?" He said questioningly.

"I think I got carried away with him" Taylor admitted as she removed her hand and gripped the clipboard with both hands.

"Well I'm not going to say much about that, it's your choice" Jace spoke as he looked concerned about the hickey on her neck.

"Listen, Jace, I'm not choosing him over you. You better know that... It's just if or when you get another job, you can leave, and you know you couldn't see me again... I need something to keep me going..." Taylor looked down sadly, she expected to be shouted at by Jace but she looked up and seen him smiling "I couldn't live with myself if we were properly involved with each other, and if... you were ...you were forced to leave and I'd never see you again" Taylor choked back her tears and dropped her head sobbing quietly.

"Good logic. Like you always have" Jace stepped forward and hugged Taylor "It's good for you to have a cry y'know" he smiled as she lifted her head to face him.

"And you with your shit jokes" Taylor smiled as she brushed her face to get rid of her tears, Jace let go of her and faced the doors of the elevator. They opened a moment later when both of them walked out they caught Waylon walking towards the M.E chamber, Taylor jogged to him as Jace followed.

"Hey, it's your last day right? Bet your glad to be getting out of here?" Taylor smiled as they continued walking towards the control room.

"Yeah, can't wait to leave" Waylon said, it would be the first time he would've set foot in the control room of the morphogenic engine. But Waylon thought that this whole place stunk, this complete misusing of people who needed help, completely illegal.

When they walked into the control room he was ushered to a seat, he was told he was late but he didn't really care it was his last day.

"Well it's not so often we see you down here Dr. Winterbourne" One of the scientists spoke from his console "... Ah yeah your hear because Snow's ill" he continued then he immediately continued working when the elevator doors opened again.

"Right, how are we all doing today?" Blaire said sarcastically as he clasped his hands together walking towards Taylor, she turned and shook her head, he was unusually happy today. Maybe he had won a golf match with Trager... Wait a sec she thought were is Trager?

"Blaire, where's Trager?" Taylor asked politely as not to piss off her boss.

"I told him not to bother today, I'd look this over personally" Blaire smiled as he folded his arms looking through the glass at the engine, his massive money pot. Blaire was the type of guy who didn't care if he was in an illegal making money scheme, he was just reaping the benefits, hell he could get away murder and make thousands off it. He didn't care about the welfare of the patients only if he could get some good results in order to get more cash. But why was Blaire here?, he doesn't have a doctorate so he couldn't be here on behalf of Trager. I hope the old guy hasn't been self experimenting.

"But you..." Taylor couldn't finish her sentence because of a loud bang on the window, she realised they'd brought Gluskin out. Waylon nearly fell of his chair in fright, Gluskin was struggling still and when they put him in the engine, Taylor sighed as the scientists were still talking about Eddie's childhood, reptilian imagery? and his abuse, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

"Aw jeez" Jace looked at the floor, he always felt sick watching the patients getting put in the orb and getting tubes shoved in nearly every orifice in their body.

"I think you're done here Mr. Park" one of the scientists pointed to the exit "have a nice day now... Right someone give me an update..." He added as Waylon walked slowly past Blaire.

"See you around" Waylon said to Taylor and Jace, it was too informal for the likes of Blaire. A few moments later Blaire spoke.

"I'm sorry to cut this little liaison short, but I have more urgent matters to attend to" he walked fast out of the room and was joined by two security guards. Taylor shifted her attention back to he vitals of Gluskin.

"Ugh, I hate that guy" Taylor gestured out the door, Jeremy Blaire had arsehole written all over him, Taylor parked herself in a chair and put her feet up on the desk, but there was muffled chuckling and laughing from a few scientists who were monitoring Gluskin's lucid dreaming status.

"Well that's a change from lizards" one of them laughed, Taylor turned in her seat and looked at them, whatever it was it wouldn't be funny, Eddie Gluskin had been through hell and back as a kid and it's still affecting him now.

"Definitely, but still quite disturbing..." Another laughed as he leaned over his colleges chair, Taylor looked at Jace and shrugged, she didn't want to go and see what the fuss was all about, she was taught not to laugh at other people's misfortunes.

"Miss Winterbourne, you seem to be on someones mind" the first scientist smirked, as his colleges next to him laughed.

"No..." Taylor muttered to herself quietly, he hadn't totally bypassed his past to think about her? And he shouldn't even be thinking about... She shuddered at her thoughts. "He's not..." She spoke to the scientists.

"I just wish this thing had audio..." The scientist continued, Taylor got up angrily and pulled the plug out of the back of the monitor "aww come on"

"Your here to observe not to speak your mind. You keep your thoughts to yourself" Taylor raised her voice and threw the cables on the floor and waited for Gluskin's session to end. About quarter of an hour had passed and then his session had ended, Gluskin was placed in a wheelchair, but Taylor walked into the main engine room, she'd never been so close to the machine and her head stung but she went to go and help the guards who were taking Gluskin to his cell.

"Hey" Taylor said as she walked next to one of the guards "stop for a minute will you..." She stepped in front of the wheelchair and bent down to inspect the now heavily exhausted Gluskin.

"Ma'am, we need to get this patient back to his cell, for security reasons..." One of the guards said, but Jace stepped in front of him.

"Aw hell Eddie" Taylor lifted Gluskin's heavy head to examine his new wounds, the right side of his face was coming apart and when he looked at her drowsily she saw his right eye was encased in blood and both his crystal blue eyes were glistening with tears.

"Darling... Help... M..me" Gluskin said weakly as he dropped into unconsciousness.

"Get him to the first aider now" Taylor spoke loudly at the guard pushing the wheelchair, he didn't budge as she moved out the way.

"She said get your ass moving!" Jace commanded, they still didn't move.

"We take our orders directly from Blaire and scientists down here. you're just a shrink" the guard pushed the wheelchair slowly past the doors, then they shut.

"Seriously, you think they'd treat the patients better with the amount of shit they put them through" Jace spoke as he looked at Taylor.

"C'mon, I've had it with this place" Taylor said angrily as they walked back up the steps to the observation room. Both walked past guards, then Taylor caught the sound of Blaire hollering. "I'm going to make Blaire wish he never met me" she stormed in the direction of the shouting and seen Waylon getting the shit kicked out of him "Blaire!" She shouted.

"Ah good, now I don't have to send a separate team to get you" he stepped out of the server room with his security team.

"I think this is another volunteer, sir" one of the guards said as his college picked up an unconscious Waylon.

"Yeah, I like that idea, I think the corporation will wanna know how she's immune" Blaire smirked "anyway, more money for me" one of the security guards stepped towards Taylor with a pair of handcuffs.

"Not happening" Jace stood protectively in between the guard and Taylor.

"Don't let yourself get involved Jace, not your problem" Taylor placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Whoa, whoa. Lets be moral about this people. I'll strike a deal with you Mr Marshal, I'll let you go if you put the cuffs on Winterbourne, and don't worry no harm will come to her" Blaire pitched it like a salesman.

"As long as I go with her" Jace spoke as he still stood between the guard and Taylor.

"Nah, thats the best I can do Mr. Marshal" Blaire tilted his head "she's just too valuable to be mistreated" he said nicely

"Quit talking out your arse Blaire" Taylor said scornfully "Jace, you get out of here, I'll manage, I've been through worse" she spoke sternly.

"But I'm your bodyguard, I got to keep you from trouble" Jace turned and looked at her.

"Aww, such loyalty... Last chance Marshal" Blaire gestured for his guard to hand over the cuffs, then he sent them to carry Waylon into the elevator.

"I'm sorry ma'am" Jace apologised as he placed the cuffs on her wrists, he was going to hand her the key but Blaire spoke.

"Er.. I think I'll take those keys Marshal" Blaire points at the keys and Jace reluctantly hands them over and calls his other guards over "make sure Mr. Marshal here doesn't go anywhere into the main complex" he commanded, the guards stepped next to him as Blaire grabbed Taylor's arm.

"I'll find you" Jace said as Taylor was walked back into the elevator, she shrugged Blaire off as they entered. A few elevator rides later Taylor tracked their position to the maximum security and upper wards floor, she wondered what Blaire had put out for her, she just hoped she'd pay for it in full, the bastard was going to get his comeuppance and when he does Taylor was going to make sure she was there to see it.

On a last note if you haven't realised I've tweaked the ages of some of the characters, mainly because I have a hard time believing Eddie is 46 and that I think Taylor wouldn't have a strong enough connection with him. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, I just apologize for any spelling mistakes or tense jumps, I just make these stories up for you guys/gals to read. So what are your thoughts and feelings on my characters or the way I've portrayed the antagonists and protagonists of Outlast?, I'd really appreciate the reviews on how I could improve.

So think on how you as an individual great person, you have the capacity to do anything you want in life, you were brought up with a caring family, a decent education and you are fed with both information from the outside world and great food. Some people in that world outside your window are being affected by famine, drought and most of all war. You just have to think, other people just aren't that lucky.
