I've contacted a Dr. Bellahue and he's currently making
arrangements to have you returned."
Regina winced and tried to crawl farther into the
corner.
"I'm sure you'll be happy to know that your
condition pretty much negates any possibility of the

"Looking at your medical history it appears you've
been in enough hospitals for the past six years to pick
up plenty of medical knowledge to pass reasonably as a
nurse."
Regina switched arms.
"Would you like to enlighten me as to why you're
here or anything else? From what I've gathered, you've
been here for quite some time."
"I need to go. I need to make my rounds."
