"Well, Ed. That will be all for the day. Thank you." I walked over to the door and opened it. A guard came in and escorted him out. I walked back over to my chair and sat. I checked my clock. It was lunch time. I grabbed my lunch and walked down to the staff lounge. Once I turned in, I saw Crane sitting and eating what looked to me a Rueben.
"Hello, Harley." He smiled. I sat down across from him.
"Hello, Crane." I smiled as I opened my lunch bag.
"Please, call me Jon." We sat and talked about my first day.
"Dr. Crane?" A young woman popped her head into the room.
"Yes, Cathy?"
"Victor Zsasz is here for his appointment with you." She nodded and walked away.
"Excellent!" He put his sandwich in a bag and went to walk out the door.
"Z-Z-Zsasz?" I felt my heartbeat pick up. I felt an oncoming anxiety attack. I had to get out of here. I threw my lunch away and ran to my office. I quickly locked the door. I sat at my desk and cried. I needed to go home. I used my phone to call Bruce.
"Harley! How's work?" His voice rang into my ear.
"Come get me. Now please.." I begged as I sniffled.
"I'll be right there." He hung up. I put the phone back.
