“Did you converse with the young lady?” Dr. Mickler asked
Juan as he entered his office.
“I did,”
Juan replied sadly. “Don Octavio, are
people ever brought in here for no reason?”
Dr. Mickler
raised an eyebrow. “You were going to
kill yourself, that’s a reason.”
“Not me,”
Juan said quickly. “Her. She said she is here to be ‘out of the
way.’”
Dr. Mickler
sat down. “Lots of people think that
way when they’re here.”
“But she
does not talk to anyone or take any medication.”
Dr. Mickler
looked at Juan sympathetically. “You
are here because you…you’ve lived a life that…” He sighed. “There is no
easy way to say this, but people, they believe what they want to believe. If she…”
“Serina,”
Juan interjected.
“Serina. If Serina believes that she isn’t having
sessions like we do or that…”
“She is not
sick,” Juan politely insisted.
“That is up
to her doctor.”
“No wonder
she doesn’t think she’s being treated,” Jack muttered.
Paul rolled
his eyes. “She’s on Citalopram for depression.”
“Thank you.” Jack left, then made his way to Bill’s
office. “Serina McAllister,
she’s yours?”
'> “Y-yes,”
Bill stammered. “Why?”
“My Don
Juan seems to think she’s…”
Bill
relaxed. “Anything he thinks is no
concern of mine – anyone’s for that matter.”
“Hey, you
do realize that the kid knows everything that’s going on around him, don’t
you? He knows where he is, he knows…”
“He knows
she’s an attractive young girl – nothing more.” Bill’s voice was cold.
Feeling
anger welling up, Jack decided to leave before he said something he’d
regret. The next step? Going to Serina herself. On his way to her room, Jack ran into Juan.
“Don
Octavio, have you found out any information?” he asked, his eyes hopeful.
Jack tried
to hide the sadness in his eyes. “She
has a doctor, as well as medication.
I’m sorry, but…”
“I wish to
dine with her this evening,” he said with a smile.
“In the,
um, cafeteria?”
“How does a
twenty year old get a job like that?”
Serina was
hurt. Suddenly, her entire life was
being questioned. “By excelling at art
and getting lucky enough to get hired by a firm that wanted me badly enough to
put me through college while I work for them.”
“I’m sorry,
Serina, I didn’t mean to offend you…”
“People
rarely mean to offend,” she said softly.
“I know you don’t believe me, so we can both pretend that this didn’t
happen, O.K.? Please make sure that
your guy drops it.”
Jack
smiled. “That will be rather difficult,
seeing as he wants you to join him for dinner.”
“I don’t
think that’s a good idea.”
“Well, it’s
up to you, but…”
“I know you
really can’t say,” she interrupted, “but is he sick? I mean, really, he doesn’t seem ‘sick.’”
