/AN: I'm so sorry guys, I can't seem to get any of the quotations marks or apostrophes to stay in this chapter. I have no idea why, but when I upload the chapter, it just won't keep them in. I'll keep trying to fix it! 3 Thanks for reading! Enjoy!
Rebecca sat in her bed, back against the metal headboard, her knees pulled up against her chest. She hadn't slept at all that night, even with the sleep aid. All she could do was think about her brother, locked away.
When they were young, they never got along. One of Rebecca's earliest memories was JJ picking on her. She got along with her father from the very start, JJ was very much a mama's boy. But Rebecca was spoiled and demanding. She got what she wanted every time. By the time she turned 13, she wanted JJ. In their sick, twisted little family, the feeling was mutual, and hardly a night past where they didn't sleep together. Once they found a common ground, they quickly began to get along.
She knew there was no way she could treat him. Even now, all she wanted to do was crawl into his cell, slide into the bed beside him, and never leave. But she'd pick his doctor, she'd monitor every session, every pill he takes. JJ protected her so many times, now it was her turn. She didn't know if he could be cured, maybe he'd have to pretend, but she'd protect him.
She found getting out of bed a little more difficult than it should have been. And getting ready for work was more half-assed then it should have been. She was stiff from sitting up all night, and she knew no matter what she did she'd look like hell. As soon as she stepped in the asylum, Aaron would tell her to go home. She'd settle the affair with JJ first, then go to her office and crash.
God how she craved a joint. She watched a few nurses hurry up the steps, and into the asylum. She was sure someone would tell Aaron she was in here, and he'd hurry out to get her. Only once so far did he have to come down, open her door and tug her out. She didn't know why he couldn't leave her. This was different than before. This was JJ.
Slowly she slid out of the car, bending back in to get her purse and phone. A low wolf whistle sounded behind her and she stood up so quick her head bounced off the top of the car.
"Oh! Sonnova fuckin bitch..."
She rubbed her head, turning and backing out before standing this time. She frowned as she scanned the area behind her. A chain link fence held 20 or 25 patients back from the arrival area. She had no way of telling which one had whistled at her, and she couldn't help but frown as she looked over the crowd. She grew up with a few of these people. Kids of her parents friends. Aunt Ivy had 'adopted' a little girl. Harvey had twin boys and a little girl before he passed. Even Croc managed to knock some unwilling woman up. They were there, in that crowd. And she knew exactly what it was like to be the patient, looking out at the doctors.
She slammed her car door shut with one fluid motion, still watching the patients. Chances are it was one of Harvey's brats.
As predicted, Aaron was waiting at the door for her as she stepped in. She gave him her sweetest smile as she walked past, heading towards her office.
"Don't you have security cameras to watch?"
"Don't you have a patient to take care of?"
"No. You were right." She dropped her purse on her desk and turned to him, crossing her arms over her chest. "I can't take care of him. But I'll be monitoring him."
"Who's the lucky doc?"
"Stevenson."
"You sure? He s pretty new."
"He can handle it. JJ would tear through my other doctors. Besides, I'll be helping him. Nothing will be done without my supervision."
"The media will love that."
"No media. No one in or out who isn't a doctor or a nurse. We're on media lock-down."
"No press is bad press, Rebecca. You know they'll want in."
"The media's been up my ass since we started this; It's about time we took a break."
Aaron couldn't help but smirk. One thing Rebecca knew how to do was stand her ground. When she said no media, the devil himself wouldntt be able to get a camera past her.
"Who gets to tell the lucky doctor?"
"I'll tell them both."
"Both?"
"JJ will need to know as well."
"That isn't a good idea, Rebecca. You shouldn't have any more personal contact with him."
"Don't. Aaron. He's my brother, I'll be telling him who his doctor is. Can you get me his file, please."
"Girl, I'm not your secretary."
She grinned, biting back a giggle.
"Then get out, I have work to do. Go arrest someone."
"Ooh, burn."
He smiled at her, turning to leave. On his way out telling one of the passing nurses to grab JJ's file.
