Henry Patterson liked Gail Turner; it was something about her defiance. It was ironic that he be attracted to a woman for her attitude, when it was exactly that trait that would make most men think twice.

And attracted he was, from her long dark hair and full lips down to her cute southern English accent that made her pronounce all of her Ts perfectly. He had been smitten before they had met, too, having done a fair bit of research on her profile online since Mallus had advised she would be joining him.

So when he had seen her restrained and drugged in the facility in which he worked, an urge to protect her had overwhelmed him, and even made him have a direct confrontation with Mallus, something he would have been far more cautious about had he been in complete control of his emotions.

It was towards Seth Mallus’ office that they now walked. Somehow, despite the fact that he was walking ahead of her, Gail was setting the pace and they moved briskly down the long bleach white corridor. They walked in silence, mainly because Gail didn’t seem to want to talk to him, but also because he didn’t know what to say to her anyway.

He stopped in front of an inauspicious door set flush with the wall. She positioned herself so that she was standing next to him in front of the door. He caught the look in her eyes, decided against saying anything, then knocked.

“Come in,” came the muffled reply from within.

He let Gail enter, though he somehow felt that even if he had moved first she would still have entered before him.

“Ah! Dr Gail Turner!” he heard Mallus say with glee.

“Ah! Dr Gail Turner my arse,” she exclaimed angrily. “Where the hell am I, who the bloody hell are you and what the bloody hell do you want with me?”

Henry Patterson couldn’t resist a wry smile as he closed the door behind them, if not for the vehemence of her assault on the mighty Mallus, then purely for the way that she pronounced arse.
