"I've changed my mind."

"You weren't given that choice."

"Tough shit." As he spoke, he shot out of the bed and as far away from her as he could get and still be in the room; his back was pressed hard against the outside wall, fists held waist-high.

Dr. Mui looked pointedly at the gym bag tucked up behind the pillow. "You took the money," she reminded him. "Do I take it back?"

"No!" He stepped forward, stopped, and stared at the gym bag.

Money enough to get out. He didn't know where to, but he was intimately familiar with where from and he never wanted to go back.

After a moment, he said "No" again, more quietly. What the hell was he afraid of anyway? They weren't going to do anything to him. They needed him healthy. The floor was cold under his bare feet as he walked back to the bed. He shivered and slid under the covers.

"Is this it?" he asked, refusing to flinch as the needle pierced his skin.

"Yes." With one efficient motion, she depressed the plunger. "This is it."

She left the room while the sedative did its work.

"We don't want a repeat of what happened the last time," she said to the orderly waiting in the hall, her tone intimating that what she did or did not want was all he should be concerned with. His expression suggested he agreed. "I don't care how he dies, but he is to be properly disposed of. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Doctor."

"Good." She stepped away from the door. "Go ahead."

He moved forward like a dog let off his leash.
