"Keagan you're not doing that job and that's it I'm not saying it again." my dad said as I was double checking my bag for the the day. "I'm not doing the job, I'm an intern. I'll probably be getting the doctors coffee and printing prescriptions if I'm lucky." I lied to my parents. My older brother was a psychiatrist for almost 10 years before he was killed by one of his patients. He was 28 years old. "Bella just be careful. Don't be out too late." my mom said giving me my car keys. I've always wanted to deal with mental patients. It's always intrigued me about how they think and why they do what they do. Markus worked with the criminals and the highly unstables. Everyone in the job loved Markus, he could calm a patient down when needed and he wasn't judgemental and the patients knew that. He wanted the job mainly to get out of the house, to get away from our dad. I pulled up to the barbed wire gated hospital and parked my car. "Okay Keags, you got this, be yourself and you'll be just fine." I told myself before I entered the institute. "State of appearance" a guard said as I walked up to the doors. I pulled out the internship papers and the guard let me in. I looked around the hospital not really knowing what to think. "Why hello! You must be Keagan Gallo. I'm Jennifer Birlem but you can call me Jenn." a lady introduced herself to me. "Yes hi I'm the new intern for Dr. Drew" I replied. "Well he is doing a couple of one-on-ones right now, so how about a tour." Jenn smiled grabbing two key cards from her desk. I smiled and she walked me through the bottom part of the hospital. "What's upstairs?" I asked as we passed the elevator. Jenn paused for a second before walking towards the elevator and opening it. "There's only one way up in here and it's to the eighth floor. To get to the rest of the floors you must take the stairs which is key card access only." she said wiggling the key cards in her hand before handing me one. The elevator opened slowly as we arrived on the eighth floor. There were guards all along the walls and exits of the dark surprisingly cold room. "So are there like I don't know... murders up here?" I asked as I looked into each cell. "We only have two high risk patients. Thomas and Birlem. Rapist and Murder." she said, her voice shaking when she said said Birlem. 'Is her husband here orsomething?' I thought as before Jenn stopped in front of a cell. "Hey pretty lady what you doin tonight?" a guy said from a cell licking his lips at me. I kept a straight face as I stood behind Jenn. "Baby please I want you to meet someone and you need to get ready for your one-on-one anyways" Jenn said lowly to someone in a dark cell. "I'm not going to see the fucking asshole again today" a low husky voice said back to Jenn. "Aww does the little boy not want to go see big daddy Dr. Drew again today" the same guy checking me out laughed out. "Why don't you shut the hell up Brandon before I make your face look like the girls you've killed" the husky voice yelled. "So hot and sexy is what you mean? Too bad the new intern is into me. Looks like little Joseph is still going to be without a girl for the rest of his life." Brandon said laughing. "You raped and killed my fucking wife you asshole" Joseph screamed running to the bars. "Hey hey hey. Calm down. Brandon shut up and mind your goddamn business. Joseph come on so we can do your one-on-one" I yelled breaking up the fight. Jenn looked at me surprised and smiled. "You remind me so much of your brother." Jenn whispered unlocking Joseph's cell. I smiled back to her remembering the good times when Markus would tell me all about his patients. "Okay I'm going to take you down to Dr. Drew's office to do your-" I stopped when my eyes met Joseph's. His tight jawline, and his perfect lips, and his amazing green hazel eyes. I realized that this kid was probably a year or two older than me. "Okay babygirl I've been through this enough let's go" Joseph said walking through the gates slowly because of the chains around his ankles. "Take him down to Dr. Drew's office I have a couple prescriptions to write. Be careful with him." Jenn said to me with a little worry in her eyes. "He's my son."
