### FLASHBACK YEARS AGO

I take the remote and turn off the air conditioner, because it feels like my blood is freezing over. Then I turn to face him properly.

"Where did you get this information?"

"Hey, are you okay? Your countenance seem to have.."

I cut him off. "Just tell me. I need.. to know where you got this information from, Charles."

Charles looks at me with a mixture of concern and ridicule. I don't care. I just need to know. "From the grapevine," he finally speaks.

    JANE ### FLASHBACK YEARS AGO"The progress report has said it all, Doctors Jane," says the one who first handed me the paper. His name is Nick whole the other goes by Dom. "Why do you ask?" Dom says. "Just something I have observed about him."Another glance. And this time, it is hundred per cent wary. I'm sure. "Then we believe that you will make much progress," Nick says, and I feel the hint of a compliment there. "In what?" I ask, fingers knotted under my chin. "In what?" repeats Nick. "Yes, in what? Poking and probing him like he's a lab rat or fixing him? Because your papers here don't say shit about repairing or correcting his condition, which I have no fucking idea what it is. So.." I let this hang. Nick leans forward in the chair, making it squeak, and I am forced to remember the noises in the supply room."John has.. a strange attitude. It should make him come undone, but it makes everyone around him instead. And Karlsen thinks he is better suited here. Where the hand

    JANE### FLASHBACK YEARS AGO We stay this way staring at each other, Bale as silent as I am. Until he inclines his head to the left and makes a move to adjust his sitting position."What happened back there, Bale?" I ask."Gates is a special person, Doctor Jane. He speaks and understands sign language.""And since when do you sign to Gates, Bale, hm?""Since he told me that he understood sign language," Bale answered. "And you weren't the doctor assigned to either one of us, so, it's okay if you don't know." Yeah, it's okay, right? "But that isn't what I meant. I want referring to what you and James were doing back there. I was talking about before that. In the lobby, where you and I stood."His smile does now diminish an inch. Always the happy patient. "Maybe you should tell me what you really mean to say, Doctor Jane."I nod. "The door to the supply room was open. Know anything about that?" "No," he says, and inclines his head to the other side. "Yeah, I knew you'd say that. Bu

    JANE### FLASHBACK YEARS AGO"We both know who's responsible for this, sir," I tell him, my hands folded across my chest, looking surprised that even Tim should ask me this. "If you're talking about Bale, I find that difficult to agree with you, Doctor Jane." "Why?" Tim turns to face me. "Bale has been in control of himself for the past six months now, Doctor Jane. I see it as a misnomer to blame him for this." "No offence, sir, but Bale has been pushing himself around in a wheelchair looking like an emoji.""That's enough now.""Bale's signature is the fingers, sir. I'm not sure if he's fully stopped yet because he delayed going to the group therapy room today." Tim squinted his eyes, making his dark brows come together like pulling the line on a bow. "He did?" "Bumped into me and said it himself. And just as we were talking, the door to the supply room opened an inch. Coincidence?" "Where were you standing?" "We stood," I begin. "Sorry, I stood, while he sat, and we were in

    JANE ### FLASHBACK YEARS AGOI look back at a smiling Bale. "How about we talk about this later, Bale? I don't want to make you more late than you already are. I'll see you later."I leave Bale before he can say anything else from those smiling lips of his. Out of all the patient's we have in the hospital, Bale Eckhart scares me the most. I can never tell what is underneath that smiling face of his. Can never tell his mood at times. To anyone who looks at him, including those who visit to ask after his condition, Bale has found infinite happiness. We tell them how fae we have home to transform a man like him. The tantrums he used to throw have been reduced to the barest minimum. And this is a fact. The last time Bale threw a tantrum was a year ago, and a lady lost her fingers. All ten of them. Because Bale Eckhart bit them all off like sausage rolls. We had to place him on meds and extensive therapy session. After six months of rehabilitation, Bale grew a smile on his face. And sinc

"From the grapevine," he finally speaks."So this information isn't official yet, or true?""Seriously?"My whole being wants it to be false… false."You know we have contacts out there, right? So anything that comes in as information, whether verified or not, might just be true. But that isn't why I'm here."The long hand of the clock strikes twelve and my heart begins to race twice the speed of the second hand's tick. What is happening? How is it possible that my past is about to be handed to be on a platter?I don't ask him why I am here. Instea

    JANE### FLASHBACK YEARS AGO"A little to the left, Doctor Jane, please.""Alright."The chair scrapes against that tiled floor."Now, that is fine. Hope I got your name right?""Right... but not in full. It's Jane Gibbons.""Yes, it is. But we don't forget the doctor title. Hm?""Hm-hm.""Now, please do understand that this exercise is for counseling purposes only. However, this queer affirming therapy session will be recorded for future reference and kept confidential. Strictly confidential. You have my word and that of Doctor Overby.""That I have. Will I be offered a copy?" "I don't think so.""Okay." "So, let's begin. Where do you stay?" "Rodeo.""Nice place, huh?" "Maybe." Are you married?""Was. Divorced.""Children?""One. But I had five miscarriages before getting lucky.""Age?""Twenty-eight.""And you live alone?""Yes.""Any close friends?""None. Just work colleagues.""What about love interests and sex life?""None. Haven't had intimate sex for a year now.""You mak
