Chapter 17
Everyone down in the lab was busy putting their focus onto their work and trying not to think so much about the obvious which was on all their minds since finding the dead dog in the cage. However, it was hard to not conceal their growing concern over the unexpected and unexplained death of one of the lab animals when no one else had been around last night.
Other than Janice and Sebastian himself of course. They knew Janice wouldn't do something like that, she even admitted she had been in the observation room the whole time and only used the john a couple times and no one really doubted her word.
Sebastian on the other hand though that was another case altogether but they had no real hard evidence and even with the tapes showing him never leaving his room even once but still...there was still the inkling of suspicion in his direction and they couldn't help feeling on edge but doing their best not to let it get to them.
He could see that everyone was being wary around him, especially Sarah who would throw a scathing glare when she thought his back was turn but could guess the redhead was thinking then and probably had a few choice things that was more likely to have a sailor cursing with her fiery attitude towards him.
They were all being cautious but he was absolutely sure he was in the clear but then that was the least of his worries at the moment. He was still aggravated by the fact that not only Linda seem to taken charge when he was still de factor leader of this project but she seem to take a perverse pleasure in being the one to control this whole operation while he was being subjected to different testing but not even close to finding a cure.
It was truly frustrating but that was just the thin icing on the cake itself. No, what really set his teeth on edge was that those two hadn't had the decency to let him know that she and Matt were together which sure was surprising but had really been like a punch in the gut to find out instead of just saying it to his face!
But that wasn't even the worst of it, the fact that she decided under no circumstances that Joanna was to have access here until further notice seem a step too far in his book! He knew that the cover story was total bull but everyone else just ate it up and no one thinking any different, but he knew differently.
Oh he knew Linda couldn't stand him having someone on his side for a change, being there for him and she just had to cut Joanna out of the picture just to make him suffer! Call him egotistic or paranoid or whichever but Linda wanted to mess with him just to get back at him for all this mess. It might seem farfetched but it didn't seem hard to figure her shifting her attention onto Joey when she couldn't do much to him that he wasn't already going through, why not make someone else get some while she was at it.
He thought Linda must be enjoying this, watching him go about suffering with no Joey around while she got the chance to fill in the big boy's shoe around here.
Damn no good rotten bitch, I really oughta stick it to her for this! He had been having a difficult time trying to keep it under control knowing it wouldn't help his given situation but when he saw Linda walking by, almost strutting like she own the place or whatever. She didn't seem to take any notice of him shooting daggers at her when she wasn't looking and thought how he like to stick it to her and watch her in brutal agony, the same way she did to him. Just a couple stabs to her and see how she like it might help ease him a little.
Oh how he wanted to very much throttle her like he did that annoying mutt, to see the life go out of those eyes while she begged for his mercy. He wouldn't of course, thinking that she deserved no less for what a conniving little viper she really was. But when he saw Matt coming over to join her, these thoughts intensified more, finding he was still anger at the both of them for just about everything he could think of right then.
He thought this must be how Caesar felt when Brutus and Gaius, two of his most loyal comrades and brothers in arms, took their blades to him and struck him down when he wasn't looking or even aware of the conspiracy they were having against him.
Yeah, it seem that way as just the thought of those two going behind his back and didn't have the decency to come clean about it but worst chose to keep it from him this whole time when they were suppose to be friends. Yeah some friends they are, when you have people like that, who needs enemies, he wanted to let them know how he truly felt right then.
The whole day he could tell everyone seem to be watching his every move, thinking to themselves about what they really thought of him but he refuse to give Linda even the small ounce of satisfaction that she was getting on his very last nerve. Thankfully with the last testing done for the time being, he head straight towards his quarters and went to lie down and ease the headache he was having. He could start to feel the tension leave him slightly once his head hit the pillow and looking at the ceiling to try and clear his thoughts, knowing he needed to be calm and rational if he wanted to get out of here without arousing any suspicion onto his person.
It wouldn't be much longer now until it was time for everyone to go and he would be by himself, with the exception of whoever would be on watch tonight but it didn't really matter to him as he already had something plan for that. The other night when he had been out on the town, he made a quick stop by the train station and looking at the mapping that sector out through the Washington area. He had done the evaluation, getting a good read of where he had to go, which one to take, etc and knew it wouldn't take him long to get there, much quicker than driving through traffic during that hour and be back before the last one was done for that day.
Just had to stick around here for a few more hours but he could bide his time. He took a quick glance at the clock and seeing what the time was up there. Now I just have to wait it out for just a little while longer, he went to go grab the book that was on the nightstand and turning to the last page he was on.
He was almost halfway through the book, mostly skimming it but just pretending it for whoever was recording up in the dock when he saw Linda walking by with her coat and purse on her and knew she was heading out, "Any big plans for tonight?"
Linda turn to him and shrug as she saw him looking up from his novel to her, "Quiet night at home, figure I could use some time to kick back and relax a little. Maybe go and read a good book you know." Sebastian had to fight back the urge to call her out on that, he knew when she was hiding something and could see that she had something more in mind than what she just said.
Yeah right and I'm the reincarnation of King Tutankhaten...denile is not just a river and we both know it bitch!
Yet he chose to response by simply asking her and feigning curiosity so it wouldn't give anything away to his real emotions, "Is that so? Whatever happened to that guy, whathisname you were seeing? Did you dump his sorry ass or something?"
She was probably planning on fucking Matt once she got home, no doubt about it, probably getting all wet just thinking about going after her little boytoy while he's stuck here under surveillance here with whoever was left tonight. He could feel his thumbs pressing down hard enough to leave indention into the cover and had to hold it steady to keep them from shaking in anger.
All he wanted was to lash out and maybe throw the book at her, quite literally so he could get his point across but he had to keep it together knowing it wouldn't help matters and then could add more trouble on his end.
Linda hadn't take any notice as she shrugged while answering his question, "He's still in the picture but you know how busy our schedules are. Why you ask?" Sebastian casually flip to the next page and took his time to find the right words to say as it took every bit of will power not to go spewing up what really wanted to come out and give her a good piece of his mind.
"Oh you know just wanted to know what's going on outside these four walls. Being locked down here, I'm forced to live vicariously. Someday you'll have to tell me what he's like."
Unless I already know who it is, considering we've been friends for so long and just learning he's been sticking his wick into your goddamn holes…
"Maybe someday I will, you never know. See you in the morning Sebastian." Linda waved goodbye and he had to resist the urge to curse her back and simply said, "Yeah adios."
Sebastian watched and waited, seeing every last person was heading towards the elevator and waiting until he was sure that they all took off before stepping outside the room to see the coast was clear and was time to put his plan into motion.
That was good as he hurried back in and started up the footage from the previous night before and was busy removing his clothes along with the faux skin and putting them inside the drawer by his bedside.
Shouldn't take me that long to get there if I take the metro and hot foot it over. He didn't waste any time as he hurried on out of there to catch the next train that was leaving the metro.
~oooOYOHOHOooo~
He made it there within record time, not many people were riding the metro at that hour and didn't have trouble slipping in and out without bumping into anyone when he got onto the street corner. It took him a bit of a jog to get there, looking around and trying to locate the street he remember seeing before and any familiar landmarks until he was sure he reach his final destination.
The area was well deserted, streetlights were on and seeing how pretty isolated it was as he stood outside Joanna's home, staring at the brownstone building that was in front of him. He saw the lights were off inside but Joey's car was park right by her house and knew she had to be in there. He could feel every fiber inside him that she definitely was.
She had been on his mind the whole time and feeling in some way responsible for what happened to her as she was forced on temporarily leave from the lab and couldn't set foot onto the premise until Linda said otherwise when she gives the ok.
If things were different and their roles were reversed, if he had put Matt on the sideline for certain 'reasons', he bet his life savings she would've demanded to have him brought back on board but Joanna, she wouldn't do so even for the likes of him. He very much doubt he could get her to convince her to change her mind and with Matt also backing her on this, they would see fit to make sure that Joey might just be lock out for good.
Shit this is my goddamn fault... He never in his wildest dream think he could be blaming himself for something that was entirely his fault but in truth it was. He had been so eager to have some alone time with her and hadn't thought too much about it after but maybe if he had made to look more carefully, none of this would have occurred and no one would be the wiser, especially Linda.
This was her way of getting back at him for the incident as what better way to punish him, to at the very least hurt him where it hurts is by taking away Joanna's privileges and putting her on false leave.
He turn his gaze back on the building and wondered what she was thinking right then as he stood right out here and not sure how her reaction was towards him. Was she upset, anger, hurt, betrayed...? Maybe she even hated him, he wouldn't entirely blamed her if she did...
He had thoughts these out so many time and fearing the worse at most that she wouldn't want anything to do with him and not sure how she'd react if he knew he was right outside her door just wanting to see her again.
She probably be pissed off with me if she knew I was breaking the cardinal rules just by showing up like this. Yet he would've broken a dozen more and gone through hail and snow because of how much she meant to him. He chuckled softly to himself and ran a hand through his hair. I never guess I would be doing something like this but only when it comes right down to it. Joanna just means so much and I don't want this to end before it even started.
He had come this far and figure he check on her see if she was okay and then he'll leave once he was absolutely certain. He was walking to where the stairs that lead to the lower level underneath the building was, having seen it before the last time he was here and went to test the door to find it was locked.
Damn, he had hope it wouldn't come down to this as he really didn't want to go breaking anything just to get in. He very much doubt that Joey's place was covered for 'Invisible man breaking and entering' and didn't want to cause her anymore grief than he already had.
He was looking around, trying to find anything to help knock a pane out or something to jimmy it when he saw the flowerpot with a small tree and few flowers growing out of it standing nearby and notice the rock that was lying casual by its' side. Somehow there was something off about it and as he looked at it closer, it didn't seem to look like a normal rock persay.
Hmm I wonder though…he bent down to pick it off the floor and turning it over to find a hidden slot there and opening it to see a key. Bingo! Well that was pretty convenient. Yet he bet that if Joey were to somehow lose her keys and needed to get in some other way, then it was better to have a spare where it was kept in plain sight.
He used it to open the door and entering the basement finding it was pitch black down there and doing his best not to go knocking into anything until he got to where the stairs leading to the kitchen was. It was also dark yet the lights from the outside street help illuminate it giving him better access to his surrounding.
He wondered if maybe Joey was asleep right now but then heard the sound coming from the other room and decided to take a quick peek in.
He walked through the swinging door, being careful so that it didn't make so much noise as he entered the den and saw was obscure with no lights on with the exception coming from the TV. It was mostly infomercials that were playing across the screen but notice that Joey was passed out on the sofa in her pjs with the notes scattered all over the coffee table and on the floor as well.
She must've been going over all of these since she was relieved of going to the lab but still determine to find a solution for him no matter what. She was lying stretch over the couch with her glasses hanging low on her nose ready to fall off and strands of hair lying close to her open mouth. He didn't think that was a comfortable position for her and knew she wouldn't be getting a restful sleep being on that all night when she could lie on a bed instead. It was sorta risky with what he was about to do since she could wake up at any second and realize that he was here with her.
Yet she seem to be out of it, even as he slip the glasses off and didn't so much as stir as he laid them down. Joanna was so light in his arms when he bend down to lift her and carrying her upstairs to her room. She was still asleep when he pull the sheets and slip her under the covers thinking how she done this for him not too long ago yesterday.
He couldn't help it looking at her as she laid there, her eyes closed with lips half parted and thinking to that moment a couple nights ago when they were cuddling afterwards and still thought she was the most gorgeous thing he ever did lay eyes on. Funny I never would've gone to the trouble for Linda. She would've bitch at me for leaving her there to sleep on and wake up with a bad back for it.
It was hard to believe how much Joanna had this kind of affect on him yet he could say that he didn't mind what she had done for him and how grateful he felt towards her this whole time. He went to push her hair behind her ear and as he was about to head out, he heard her moan and was muttering something under her breath but it was his name that held him in place.
"Sebastian…" He froze thinking she was waking up yet seeing her eyes still close and seem to be dreaming something and saying out loud for him to hear as she turn in her sleep, her brow furrow and heard the worry in her voice.
"Mmm Sebastian, no, no please…don't-don't leave me…I need you, I…Sebastian I..." The next few words had been said so softly and hadn't been able to pick up on yet reading her lips was loud enough for him to realize what she was trying to say.
Joanna, she, she actually…He was taken him by her abrupt confession yet somewhere inside he felt like someone had lit a firecracker and feeling such an array of emotions come over him. He couldn't help as he move to lean forward and bending down to kiss her lips briefly for a few seconds while whispering for her to hear, "I'm never gonna leave you Joanna, I'll always be there for you when you need me. It's a promise."
When he pulled away, he saw her expression had softened and seeing she look relax now after he said those words. He smiled and taking one last look before he exited the room, leaving as quietly as he came and took his leave like the silent phantom he was into the night.
~oooOYOHOHOooo~
Sebastian took his time getting back to the compound after grabbing the last train heading out and taking his sweet time walking back towards the compound. Though the area was totally empty his thoughts however were not.
He was still going over what Joey had uttered in her sleep and even though she may not have been truly conscious about it but knew people tend to say things subconsciously and spoke the truth as the theory was told. So that obviously meant that what she said then, she meant it from the bottom of her heart. But could he ever say those words to her, he thought he had something with Linda but what a mess that turn out, he didn't want to ruin it with Joey...
He was walking down the empty street and seeing he was still a few blocks from the warehouse when a car drove by and passing him along the way. He was surprised to see it coming at this hour but what really got his attention was that it was Matt's car and saw him and Linda heading for the compound.
What are they doing here? He was not sure what was happening that was until he also saw Sarah's car followed by Janice's pulling in and then thought of the many possibilities of why they were all showing up and racing back towards the facility to find out what it was. SHIT!
The others had gotten ahead of him and seeing them split into two, Linda with Matt were heading for his room while everyone went to check around the other areas just to be certain before meeting up with the others. She had been having a sneaking suspicion that he was up to something and having everyone come together to make sure that he was still here and not running off somewhere.
"Sebastian?" She found it empty and that the bed showed no one on there while Matt check the bathroom to find he wasn't in there. Frank had walked in as he wanted to tell them that the monitor was still showing the same thing yet turn his eyes towards the security camera and saw the reason why it was. "Pretty clever really. All it does is recycle the signal. He flips this switch, it takes a snapshot and that's all we see." He demonstrated this to them before showing this to the other up in the conference room who were also putting two and two together when they saw it play for them on one of the monitors.
"Asshole can't believe the nerve of him..." Linda heard Sarah snarl and had to agree while the others started talking, wondering what they were going to do. Some were worried as they should be because of his sudden violent and wondering if they were in any danger.
She turn to Matt and could see the conflicting concern written on his face as well. This was getting serious and they had discussed this before calling everyone in to come meet back here. Well everyone except Joey as she still didn't think she could be trusted for the moment and who know if Sebastian would pick what he could up if they dare rely anything to her. She didn't think she was a flight risk but Sebastian could be crafty in getting what he wanted and would get information one way or another.
They turn to the group and Linda calling for their attention, "Look either way we aren't equipped to handle this. We have to inform the committee and let them take over from here."
Everyone was in agreement and Janice couldn't help asking, "What if he doesn't come back?" They were worried if Sebastian were to learn of this, he could do a runner and no one would know where he would go or if they'll ever find him again.
"They'll go after him. Look the best thing to do is pretend nothing's wrong. Everyone just head back home and when you come in, do what you're doing so he doesn't become suspicious. Okay? Matt and I'll go tell Doctor Kramer and we'll let the committee deal with it."
The two knew that to go and speak to the officials about this would very well be the end of their careers and could kiss everything goodbye once it was all said and done. But it was better than the alternative of letting Sebastian run loose and have someone else take control and put an end to the madness once and for all.
~oooOYOHOHOooo~
The drive to the former professor's home had been quick as they took the highway and any short route as Linda wanted to speak with him as soon as possible. They both knew that he was not going to be thrilled by what they had done and explaining everything that has happened and why they were just coming clean about the whole thing.
Dr. Kramer had been surprised to see them coming at such a late hour since it was nearly three in the morning but did allow them into his home as he sense they had something important to tell him that couldn't wait until the next meeting. He was wondering what it was that had them in such a state, knowing that it was definitely urgent for them to make such a unexpected visit right then. He had to pour himself a drink as they gather into his office and taking his first sip of scotch while waiting for them to settle and gather their thoughts there.
Linda started off by telling him about what was happening within the last few months and he had to say was shock yet not so surprised to find out that Sebastian had lied to them. Should've known he wasn't telling the whole thing when he stood before the board that day, he was cursing inwardly yet told himself that Linda was far from finish as she continued telling him what happened after.
How after the three days and when they try to reverse the process found they couldn't and have been doing everything they could to figure what went wrong and fix it.
He sat there listening, swirling the ice around every few minutes and couldn't hide the disappointment from his face once he finally looked at the two, finding how could they go and let themselves go beyond protocol. But it was obvious both felt guilty and were shameful but it wouldn't change what they did was wrong and knew was going to have to be left to them to clean this whole thing up. "I'm going to call out the scientific council to resolve this issue."
"Is there anything we can do in the meantime?" Doctor Kramer shot both of them a incredulous look as if he couldn't believe his ears, having the audacity to ask after all the damage they just did, "How about clearing out your offices for starters?"
They knew that he was going to say that and Linda couldn't help but once again attempt to show remorse for what their actions of cause for everyone, "For what is worth, we're both very sorry. "
"It's a little too late for apologies don't you think." He escorted the two out and once he saw them leave before shutting the door with more force than necessary. The noise was loud enough to get his wife out of bed and as he was heading towards the living room, found Martha by the stair wearing her pink robe and looking concern when she saw him coming by. "John who was here at this hour? What's the problem?"
"It's nothing, just a screw-up at work, go back to bed dear." Yes, a very big one that has to do with Sebastian, he should've known better than let him be in charge of the project and now look what it got them. It was times like this that he wish he had been more careful in choosing who to take charge and should've taken more consideration about letting Sebastian be a part of it.
"How bad?" Martha could read him like an open book and when she assume people coming in the dead of night are here for official reason, especially with her husband's occupation in the government. He didn't want her to worry but knew he was going to let her get an idea that it was very serious, "Bad enough to wake up a few Generals."
"Oh okay well don't take too long." He saw her turn to go back to the bedroom as he went to go to his office to make the call. He quickly put the number in for one of the people over there and waiting for someone to pick up. Yet after awhile the line went dead. He try again and got nothing, no noise on the other end. He scowled as he went to check on the plug and finding it was still connected. Just what the hell was going on, then he heard the sound of a door creaking and sounded like it came from the kitchen.
"Hello?" He made his way with caution, seeing no sign of anyone in there but notice the door leading to the backyard was ajar. He went to close it but then there was the sound of something shifting in the bushes out there. Could be a raccoon or something, but he chose to go and see for himself as the last time they were around, they had left a mess behind and Martha wouldn't like it if he let those critters get into her vegetable garden.
He stroll out there, checking everywhere of the premise and circling the pool to find there was no one else out here but himself. He stood on the patio deck and felt a chill go down his spine for some reason, like there was something not right about this whole scenario.
"Get a grip Howard, there's no one out here, you're just letting yourself get worked up over nothing here…" He reach into his pocket to pull the carton of cigarettes and taking one stick out to his mouth. Martha never liked it when he smoked and he tried to kick the habit but sometimes when he felt agitated or that he was getting stress, sometime a smoke help ease him and he just need one to take the edge off. He held the lighter to the tip and took a deep drag of it before exhaling out. Wisps of tobacco puffed out but Kramer saw that standing right in front of him what look like a face appear through the smoke.
A face he recognized to be Sebastian's, "Hi, Boss." He was startled when he saw them appeared out of the blue like that, the cigarette falling loose from his lips as he was about to scream but found he couldn't. Sebastian had place his hand across his mouth and stifling his cries.
"Now now we don't want any of that do we? Wouldn't want to wake the neighbors, especially your wife upstairs. Be a real shame to have her come down and wind up getting involve in this?" Kramer stiffen when Sebastian made mention of Martha and knowing he could easily get to her as he did him and renew his need to break free and struggling in his captor's grasp. Yet Sebastian had the upper advantage and had him hovering over the pool and could tell what he was planning on doing even before he started speaking again.
"You know you really have to be careful standing so close to the ledge. You could fall in and since statistics show that most drowning happens especially when you had been drinking. Hmm isn't that a fun fact, well let see if it's true?"
Sebastian didn't give him a chance to react as he threw him into the water and jump right in after him. He made a big splash and Kramer could see the outline of his form like a man-size bubble illuminating under the dim lighting. Sebastian move swiftly through the water like a torpedo as he went to grab hold of the professor and pull him down with him.
But the man refuse to give in and was putting up quite a struggle which made it more difficult for Sebastian in his task to drown him. They continue to tussle around underwater as Kramer try to break free while crying out for help whenever he broke the surface but Sebastian would pull him right back down. They kept at it and this seem like it would be problematic for Sebastian but saw the old guy was becoming weary, using up every last bit of energy until the fight was left out of him and stopped moving all together. Sebastian kept his grip on him until he was sure he was good and dead before making his way to the railing.
There, that takes care of that, now I'll have to deal with the others…Sebastian pulled himself out of the water and heading towards the back gate just as he heard Mrs. Kramer scream as she found her husband's body floating in the pool.
Sebastian was long gone when the sirens came after the 9-1-1 was made and taking his time heading back to the lab, already plotting what to do next come morning. Everyone is going to pay, can't let any of them think they can get away with this. They'll soon regret trying to go behind my back.
Perhaps it was a good thing that Joey wouldn't be there because he doubt he wanted her to see what he had in mind and rather she stay out of it and let him take care of it on his own.
~oooOYOHOHOooo~
Joey had woken to the sound of her alarm going off and groggily reaching out to silent the blast thing. Why did she have it set again, she had no idea and was lying back down to bury her face in the pillow. But then after a few seconds, she lifted her head and was staring at her surroundings in confusion.
Wait a minute why was she up in her bedroom, hadn't she been downstairs recently? She remember yesterday after Linda called her, the words seem to come through a long tunnel but she obviously recall for the most part the 'under no circumstances can you come to the lab until otherwise...'
That had been most upsetting and not sure what she did to have Linda revoke her privileges like that. Thankfully she had kept copies of her notes inside her home and with most of it saved on her hard drives but if there was new data present, she wouldn't be sure how it would compared to the other information.
She was wondering if Linda thought she did something to deserve this and yet she told herself that she couldn't go wasting it on such thoughts when she decided to put her energy elsewhere instead of dwelling on that. She had spend the whole time going over everything from eight that morning to two in the morning, at least that was the time she recall checking on her cellphone.
So, how did she get from point A the living room to point B, the bedroom? Maybe I was so tired that I sleepwalked up here? That didn't seem possible but last night she had been poring over every single one of her notes again and trying not to let her mind get distracted by thinking of Sebastian and how he was dealing in her absence over there.
She sighed thinking how she would've given anything to find out if there were any new progress that might've occurred down at the compound but alas no one had bothered to call and Linda had been serious on the limitation and only she could speak to her when necessary. Somehow she wasn't all too keen on speaking to her after their last conversation. It was truly frustrating and as she reached to push her hair back but her hand stroke something soft behind her ear.
What the? She went to pull it out and saw was a violet colored flower that had been nestle there and look like it was recently place them and surprisingly hadn't been crushed when she lied on it. So where did this come from? There weren't any flowers in her home like this and she knew that none were growing out in the neighborhood so when had this come into contact with her.
She walked downstairs and looking around wondering if there was anything to clue her in on what happen last night. She went towards the coffee table, finding all her notes were as she left them yet there was one folded and opening it to find not done in her hand. She sat down to read what it said and found she recognized that scribble anywhere seeing them written many times before by one person but the words took her completely by surprise.
I feel you,
Joanna.
I feel you.
I was half-convinced I'd waken.
Satisfied enough to dream you,
happily I was mistaken,
Joanna.
Joey had to read it twice before recognizing where the words came from but that wasn't what caught her by surprise. Sebastian, he-he came last night. It was very much shocking to find that he came in here in the dead of night while she was sleeping. Then that meant he was the one who must've carried her upstairs and tucked her in as he did.
Then she thought of the faint but sweet brush of his mouth against her lips, the tingling sensation she tend to get when she felt it was Sebastian's and then remember hearing him speak those words to her or had that been something she imagine him saying to her? No she knew it was him and feeling her pulse quicken when she realize that he would say that to her.
It should have been very disturbing on so many levels and yet all Sebastian did was carry her upstairs and left that flower in her hair with a note that had lyrics from a musical lying for her to find. Anyone else would think she was crazy to be thinking that this was in a way sweet and endearing but Joey she could not help what she felt deep inside herself, that no matter how everyone would believe otherwise for a man to go such length showed there was more to them than what they knew.
But why, why would he go to suck risk? She knew that he was being put under surveillance and was going to be in hot water if they found out what he was doing without supervision. But to come all this way just to check on her? Sebastian must've known of the temporarily ban from the lab and yet he had come all this way to see her, to make sure she was all right...
She might have been overthinking things but still having him come all this way to visit her, to come in and put her to sleep while leaving her a note with a flower to find...
"I just hope you know what you're doing Sebastian, I just don't want you to put yourself into any further danger..." She thought of the dream she had last night and shudder when she recall the images she had seen. She knew she wouldn't be getting any work done and figured she could use this as a chance to take a break and clear her head and figure things out if anything.
Hopefully once that's done, she could get back on the problems and find a more probable solution, the sooner the better. She went to go make some coffee, taking the flower and note with her and placing them somewhere safe before she went out for a bit.
Joey couldn't help when her fingers were lightly brushing over the soft petal or thinking how it remind her of the brief touch of Sebastian's lips over her and cause a fluttering sensation inside her but renew her desire to help him if anything. Just please be safe Sebastian that's all I'm asking of you...
