Chapter Seventeen

Dr. Taylor would contemplate his options before he implemented a strategy, and since the events were of a pressing matter, he would move forward with a plan. Andrea had no doubt he would be diplomatic and conceal the true reasoning of his questioning in such a way that everything would resemble a normal session.

“How do you feel?” he asked, and Andrea was instantly annoyed.

“I’m well. Never felt better, thank you.” She had to be careful with her answers. Eagerness to confirm her well-being could be interpreted as a change, and a change wasn’t a good thing. She had to appear normal, no highs or lows to be displayed in any way.

“What makes you feel better now as opposed to how you felt before?”

Fuck! Getting caught now would destroy all she had accomplished in the past twenty years. Could she pacify him and get out of this difficult situation?

“You keep me busy, and it seems from now on, we’ll be even more busy. I like being occupied and involved in your project, and most importantly, I look forward to seeing the final results.”

“Yes, we are almost there. Any abnormalities to report? Maybe a headache or a change in the velocity of the discharge?” He was going too far by asking these questions. Did he know?

“None. I do get a headache now and then, and yes, the velocity of the discharge is great. Be assured, I’m used to it by now, and it only lasts for a few seconds.”

“How is the pattern of your thoughts?” This question did trigger some bells and whistles. He had stopped asking about this years ago; he most certainly knew something. He had called her yesterday. She knew because her phone registered the missed call. The doctor was desperate and careless.

“If I say the pattern of my thoughts has been the same for the last twenty years, it would be a lie.” She had to answer in a way that demonstrated she was comfortable discussing it, and at the same time, she wished to bait him. She would lure him to divulge his great knowledge. And when she finally looked up, the answer was there on his face.

“Oh, Doctor, my thoughts are exactly the same,” she laughed, and the sounds filled the room.

“That’s good,” he uttered with relief. It was not her imagination.

“Enough about me. I’m good.” She had to reassure him. “Yesterday I finished all the printouts and analyzed the patterns. The reports and data appear to be as expected. You should stop worrying so much.”

The idea of her involvement in the killing was ridiculous, at least that was what she needed the doctor to think until it was over. The countdown had started. Andrea got up and left his office. The plan for the grand demise wasn’t just an entity in the back of her mind. It had now moved up to the number one spot on her to-do list, and time was running out quickly. Dr. Taylor must have identified some discrepancies; otherwise he wouldn’t have questioned the stream of her thoughts.
