Chapter Nine

Frustration and worry were two emotions Joy could live without. They seemed to be her constant companions since she’d been escorted by Jessie to the elevator. The male nurse had cleaned the bite, bandaged it, and given her an antibiotic shot. Stitches hadn’t been required.

“How is Moon? Is he still lucid? It’s been four hours since Dr. Treadmont and his team went downstairs.”

Paul, the nurse, frowned at her from across the desk. “We’re still waiting for word.”

“Can’t you check? May I go see him?”

“Ted said to keep you here.”

“Of course he did.” The jerk was territorial and didn’t like her. Sex therapist! Anger burned at that insult.

“I could call for an escort to take you back to your housing.”

“No. I’m not leaving Medical.”

“Then we wait.” The nurse opened a drawer and offered a pack of gum. “Want a piece?”

“No thanks.”

He returned it and glanced at his computer. “You could sit at that other desk. We have a few games loaded on these things.”

“I don’t want to play draw poker.” She leaned forward to glance at the screen, having noticed that it kept most of his attention. “Is this what you do all day?”

“It is when we’re shut down for the most part. Trisha is treating people at her house if they need something minor. Only emergencies are cleared to enter Medical.” He smiled. “I patched you up since you were already here or you would have been sent to her house too. It’s been a slow day, luckily.”

“Moon is locked in a cell. There’s no way he could get up here to hurt anyone.”

“It’s not why Medical is still shut down. He howls when he’s in a mood. It upsets anyone within hearing distance. Species can’t stand to hear their own suffer. We had a few incidents.”

“What kind?”

He sighed and leaned back, staring at her. “They tried to go to him, thinking they could help. It only made it worse. He broke free a few times. It wasn’t pretty. We were keeping him up here at first. Even in the basement, if he raises a ruckus, well, Species have good hearing. It’s best if we keep the building cleared.”

She glanced at the clock. “What is taking so long?”

“I don’t know since I’m not there. They are using Species nurses with Moon now. He tried to kill me a few times so I’m not complaining. He’d want me to avoid him.”

Joy stood and paced. “I want to know what is going on.”

“We’ll find out when they come upstairs.”

The nurse’s nonchalant attitude drove Joy a little nuts but part of her envied him. Moon’s well-being was all she could think about. Had he lost touch with reality again? Was he talking and sane? She should be with him.

Footsteps sounded and she spun, watching as Justice, Ted Treadmont, and a few tall Species nurses entered the reception area. It took control not to lunge forward to demand answers. She didn’t bother glancing at the white-haired doctor, sure he wouldn’t tell her anything. Justice North held her full attention.
