Triniti

I swear, I’ve never been this busy in my life. A week has only passed,

and I am already exhausted from all the patients I’ve had to deal with. At

least I’m not alone in this place. I made a new friend since I’ve been here. Her

Name was Cassie, and she’s a nurse here. She gives the patients their medicine at

the scheduled times, and when we are on break, we eat lunch together. She’s

taller than me, which is nothing new, since everybody in New Orleans seems

to be taller than me. She’s light skinned with thick black hair, and she’s

Petite.

I still talk to Erika when I see her at the bar. We conversate like old

times, but after that, I just head home to get ready for work the next day.

Today was another working day at the Bayou Asylum. I was in my office, as usual,

when Cassie busted in. She bent down and began to catch her breath, and I

just looked at her like she was crazy.

“ Um, are you okay?” I asked her, putting one of the files back into

my desk drawer.

“ Oh my gosh!” She gasped before standing up to face me. “ We

have a new patient coming today.”

“ That’s nothing new, Cassie. We’ve been getting patients for the

past week.”

“ Not like this. This one is coming for murder.”

I looked back at her and saw the smile on her face. I swear, her smile

Was the funniest thing ever. She had a gap in her mouth, and it was just so cute to

me.

“ He’s coming around at eleven, so let’s go! He’s on his way now!”

She ran over to me and grabbed me by the arm, yanking me out the

chair. I swear, I almost fell as soon as we made it to the entrance. I wasn’t

running as fast as she was running, so her pulling me along with her gave me

somewhat of a boost. Everybody was already there, waiting as well. I really

was curious about what the deal was with this person. Why was everybody so

fascinated with this mysterious person?Cassie and I stood as Dr. Martin came to the front as well.

“ Okay, so I’m pretty sure everybody in here knows the story about the

person we are supposed to be getting as a patient.” He assumed, even though

I was the only one who wasn’t informed about it.

“ I actually don’t know.” I said, softly. “ I just found out he was

coming not too long ago.”

“ Nobody told you?” Dr. Martin asked.

I shook my head. He sighed and shook his head before turning his

attention back to me.

 “ There was an incident that happened a couple days

ago at a club called New Euphoria.”

“ Um, okay.” I said.

“ The guy that is coming here, murdered five college students.” He

said, and I could feel my body freeze up.

“ He removed the heart before he began feeding on them.” Nathan,

the pharmacist said as he walked over to me.

“ Okay, I heard enough.” I told him, scooting back.

“ Did you?” Nathan asked, but Dr. Martin got between us. “ Five

college students died because of this dude letting them into that club.”

   “What club?” I asked.

   “The one that people know where to stay away from.”

   Nathan scared me. The way his eyes stared back at me like he was trying to look in my soul, terrified me. Dr. Martin stared at me before his eyes turned to Nathan.

“ That’s enough.” Dr. Martin said.

Nathan glared at me, and all I could do was roll my eyes. He was the

only person that didn’t like me. I didn’t even do anything to him, he just had

an attitude towards me. But, I don’t let that bother me because I have things

to do instead of worrying about how people feel about me. Norah, the

receptionist, walked over to the front entrance and poked her head out.

Then, she opened up the door, so everybody inside could see. There was a

police car parked right in front. One of the officers walked to the back seat

and retrieved the convict. They grabbed him from the back, and the whole

asylum was filled with little whispers.

The convict was covered with chains and a metal face mask. He was

really tall, so if he really wanted to, he could take every last one of us. As he

got to the front door, Dr. Martin approached them with paperwork and a

writing utensil.

“ Officer Ramirez and Kravis.” Dr. Martin said the two officers’

name while extending his hand to them. “ Welcome to my Asylum.”

“ Dr. Martin.” Ramirez extended his hand while the other one

walked in with the convict. “ Thanks for taking him in.”

“ No problem. I heard that he wasn’t accepted into the prison, so I

told them that they could just bring him here. We do have a room that is

suitable for him, if you would like to see.”

“ Of course.” Kravis said, pulling the convict with him. “ We want

him to be away from others.”

“ That’s how it is here.” Dr. Martin said, turning his attention to

Kravis. “ But before we go on, I need for you guys to sign over your release of

him to me.”

Dr. Martin handed Ramirez the paper, and the pen and Ramirez

grabbed it. He looked over the form carefully and then sighed it without

asking questions. Officer Kravis stopped in front of me with the convict close

to him. When the convict turned towards my way, his eyes and mines

connected immediately. He couldn’t speak because of the mask on his face,

but the way he looked at me, he knew who I was. I don’t think I would’ve

recognized him if I didn’t look directly into his eyes. It was the same golden

brown that I’ve seen before.

“ Dominic.” I whispered to myself, but he knew I had said his name

because he tilted his head at me.

I was going to say something else, but Officer Kravis pushed him

forward. He looked at me before guiding Dominic to follow Dr. Martin to

the room that was reserved for him. I watched them walk off and then turned

my attention to Cassie, who was staring at me with confusion.

“ Do you know that guy?” She asked me.

Knowing the rules of this place, I immediately shook my head

.

“ I never met him in my life.” ,” I told her. “ What about you?”

“ Well, I wish I knew him because he is cute.”

I chuckled and walked away from her. As soon as I got to my room, I

 saw Dr. Martin with the officers right down the hall along with

Dominic. I was headed inside until I heard my name. I looked and saw Dr.

Martin motioned for me to come to him. Sighing, I headed over to him as

fast as I could, trying to see what he wants. I approached him, and he placed

his arm around my shoulder.

“ This is Dr. Moore.” Dr. Martin introduced me to the cops and

Dominic.

“ Moore?” Officer Ramirez asked. “ Eric Moore is your father?”

I cleared my throat and nodded my head.

 “ Well, tell him he is truly missed at the New Orleans Police Department.” Officer Kravis said.

“ I will do that.” I told them.

“ Anyways, she is the psychologist here, and she works with the

patients. She will be working with him, as well.”

“ That’ll be interesting: a Moore and a Greyson being in the same

room.” Officer Kravis chuckled.

“ I don’t get what’s funny about that.” I said, and Officer Kravis

turned his attention over to me.

“ Your family and his family have been clashing for years.” Officer

Ramirez filled me in. “ So, you two working together could be a bad idea.”

“ I’m sorry, what his family and my family are going through has

nothing to do with me having any beef with him.”

“ That’s your choice, but you don’t know what’s going through his

mind.” Officer Kravis said. “ He could have anger built up from the beef

with your family.”

I nodded my head and looked at Dominic, who was looking at the

ground. He finally looked up at me, and I swear I felt butterflies in my stomach.

“ We’re just going to have to find out then.” I told them and walked

off towards my room.

 I opened the door and walked in, slamming my door

right behind me. I swear, dealing with those cops were really frustrating,

especially that fucking Kravis dude. He was irritating and seeing that

Dominic was the one who was with him overnight, there was no telling if he

had gotten a good night's sleep.

I took a seat on the couch and covered my face up with both my hands.

This whole situation had me bothered. Not only is there a murderer in the

building, but the murderer turned out to be the guy who made me super

nervous inside. This led to the question that has been bothering me ever since

I seen saw Dominic in handcuff: Why are they accusing him of this murder?

Dominic didn’t look like the type of person to kill. Yeah, I know he’s the

same guy who threatened me back when I had my car trouble, and yes, he

looks like a complete badass with an attitude, but there was something

different about him.

“ Don’t worry about what he said.” Hearing Dr. Martin’s voice behind

me, caused me to jump off the couch.

“ Jeez!” I shrieked, placing my hand on my chest. “ You scared me.”

“ I’m sorry.”

I sat back down on the couch, and he sat across from me. “ I just came in

here to let you know not to worry about them.”

“ I’m not worried.” I told him, glancing back at him.

“ That’s good.”

“ However, I would like to know about this beef.”

“ I’m not really familiar with it. I just know it was going on for years.”

“ Well, I’ll find out sooner or later.”

He chuckled and got off the couch.

 “ Then, it’s better if you find out from a different source.” He said and walked out of my room. 

He just didn’t know that I was going to do just that. I want to know what’s going on between Dominic’s family and my family. I got off the couch and walked over to the desk

when my door to my room flew open. I turned and rolled my eyes when Cassie poked her head in.

“ Nobody’s here.” I said, taking a seat and turning my back to her.

“ That Officer Kravis has a mouth on him.” She said as she walked over

to me. “ I’m happy he’s gone.”

“ Yeah, well I’m trying to figure if what he said is true.”

Standing next to me, Cassie leaned on my desk and looked at me with

curiosity. I looked at my phone, trying to decide whether or not I should call

him. I need some answers because it seems he’s the talk of the town. The

most important thing for me to do is figure out this history between the two

families. I need to do something, or else it’s going to keep picking at me until

I do.

“ Are you ready for Tricia to come in?” She asked me, bringing up my

next patient, but I didn’t want to hear about my next patient now that this

was clouding my mind.

“ Hey, do you know where this incident happened at?” I asked. “ Like

What was the clubs name?”

Cassie sighed and nodded her head. “ At a club called New Euphoria.

Why are you asking?”

“ No reason. It’s just that I’m still thinking of what Nathan said when he

was being a complete asshole like usual.”

She laughed. “ What did you do to that childish ass man?”

“ Oh my gosh! I’m not even sure myself.”

She chuckled some more and headed towards the door. “ Is it okay if I send your next patient in?”

I nodded my head, and she gave me the thumbs up before exiting the

door.
