Curiosity Symptoms [Discontinued :')]

[Part 8]

Can't sleep

Burt lied there in the dark with only a small bit of light coming from a small night light Sven had given him. Burt was never a fan of the dark. Especially after everything that has happened lately.

Burt scratched behind Boo's ears as she slept with her head on his chest. They were going to stay overnight at the hospital while they (Sven, Reginald, and Right) clean up before they bring him home. Finally, that's what he wanted from the start. To go home.

As he lay there, half asleep he began to hear something. People talking maybe?

"They still have amnesia Mr. Svensson. On top of that they manage to run away from the mental hospital with little to no help. Are you sure you want to take him back home? He could be a danger-"

"He is NOT dangerous! Stop telling me that! So what if he manages to escape the mental hospital! He shouldn't have been in there in the first place! Yes. I'm taking him home and that's final. And there is NOTHING you can do to change my mind." Svens voice cut through. By the tone alone Burt could tell he was stressed, anxious, and scared. Bells rang in his head to comfort but his body and mind were too tired to move. So he stayed there and listened.

"If you insist, Mr. Svensson. You can pick him up at noon. That will give us enough time to figure out the right medication to help him. Just be careful. Who knows what he has done in the period he was missing before he came here and after he had escaped." The unfamiliar voice said.

"Look, I know him. If he had done anything horrible he would have done it for a reason. And he would have TOLD me. So stop with this useless suspicion." Sven growled. "And if I find out you butchered up his medication nonetheless on purpose? I'll make sure you'll regret it."

And then there was silence before the sound of footsteps echoed. Then silence again.

Burt layed there in confusion and shock.
