Sammy shook his head. "They'll be too busy staring at your chest and trying to look up your skirt," he assured her.
She blushed. "Oh..." She looked at herself in the mirror again and reached for a jacket. Putting it on, she did the large buttons and turned to him. "Do you think I'll get to see Matthew again?"
He paused and shrugged. "If you want...I can tell him where you are."
Alice met his eyes. "I'm surprised he doesn't know where I am...I always told him if I ran away it would be to you."
"Because of you, Alice is gone," Matthew said, his gaze cold as he glared at Dr. Till.
Dr. Till's eyes were hard and she had just hung up the phone. "I'm doing what I can to get her back!" she yelled. "I've sent her picture to every police station and plastered her face on every news channel! She will be found soon." She picked up her phone again, now ignoring Matthew. "Get me the number to Alice's nurse. And find out why the hell he called in sick at a moment like this!" she barked to the person on the other line.
"I already told you! He's talking to the authorities, ensuring that they won't harm her if they find her. I know if I left that to you they'd be hunting her with elephant guns."
"As they should be!" she screamed. "She's mental, unstable, and violent!"
"Like hell she is," he said, keeping his voice calm and composed. "If treated by the correct professionals she is just fine."
"Get out, Matthew! Get out of this place and don't fucking come back until she is found! I don't want to see your damn face!" she yelled.
"You don't have the authority! I still have patients to take care of. Or are you planning on letting them escape to?"
"GET OUT!" she screamed. Someone on the other line started talking and she nodded. "I want a cop stationed outside his house...yes....yes...." She smiled. "That's perfect. If she is there, she is bound to go outside."
"If she's where?" Matthew slammed his hands on the table to get her attention. "Where do you think she is?"
"With her damn nurse. Where else?" she said waving him off and continued to talk to the person on the other line. "I want you out of my office, Matthew."
"And where exactly do you expect me to go? I live here, remember?" She thought Alice was with her nurse.... He shook his head slowly. If she was, they were both about to be in a shit load of trouble.
"Anywhere but here," she snapped. "Now get out. I can't deal with you and the people on the other line!"
"Yeah, well, no dice," he said as he sat down. He grabbed the papers she had been looking at and shook his head. If Alice got back she was going to fry her.
"I'll be right there," she said and put down the phone. "No, you can't go so don't ask," she snapped and walked out.
"I wasn't asking," he said as he followed her out to the car, just a few steps behind her, limping as he went.
She smirked and opened the door for him. "I'm sure my kid would love to have you at his soccer practice."
He paused and stared at her. "You're lying," he muttered. "There's no way you'd leave like this."
"I'm a mother before I'm anything. If you don't believe me, get in the car. Joe is my life and he wants me at all his events. Just because some psycho ran doesn't mean I'm going to put his life on hold." She got in her car. "I could care less about the bitch. As soon as she's found, she's going to be put in the chair. It's way out of my hands now."
He sighed. Opening up the passenger door he got in. He wanted to make certain that she wasn't lying, and with him there she couldn't do anything to Alice. "She's not a psycho. She's just a scared and confused little girl."
"Take your doctor coat off. My work and my kid don't mix. And don't talk about patients around him. He's only eight." She drove to a small soccer field for an elementary school. Getting out she went to her trunk and pulled out three containers and a cooler. She smiled at someone and looked at Matthew. "Follow me."
They walked to the field and she put down the cooler and containers. "Mom!" someone yelled. She turned and smiled. A small red head boy ran up to her. She held out her arms and her ran to her. "Did you brink the snacks?"
"Of course I did!" she laughed. "For the whole team as always. Are you staying warm?"
"Yep!"
"I don't know why your coach wants you to practice in the winter. It's so stupid," she said but kept her smile.
He looked behind her at Matthew. "Who's that?"
"My shadow."
Matthew nodded and waved to the small kid. He couldn't believe that someone as heartless as her could actually smile. Much less raise a kid. She just didn't seem like the motherly type to him. Still, while she was with the kid she wasn't out looking for Alice and screaming at people to kill her. So, score one for the home team.
"Go on, go practice," she said and pushed him to the field.
"Wait," he said and held out his hand.
Dr. Till laughed and reached in her pocket. She pulled out her cell and handed it to him. Joe turned it off with a smile and handed it back to her. "Go," she said and he nodded then ran off.
She stepped back and watched him practice with the others.
"I would have never pegged you for the motherly type," Matthew said once her child had left.
"I've always wanted a kid. So I had Joesph. But I make sure that I don't ever bring work home with me. My bosses know that Joesph comes first and everything else pales in comparison. So I keep my phone off when I'm with him." She waved to Joe on the field as he kicked the ball. "Go Joesph!" she called and clapped her hands. "I may be a bitch at work and cold hearted, but the one thing I'm great at is being his mother."
"So where's his father?" He had no qualms about analyzing her as if she was one of his patients. With the way things were going one of them was going to end up in a straight jacket, he just couldn't figure out which one of them it would be.
"Doesn't matter. All you need to know is that I love my son more than the air I breathe. Don't analyze me." She clapped again. Joe scored. "That's great!" she called to him and laughed. He waved to her again.
"I'm simply trying to get to know my new boss," he told her innocently, watching her expressions as she cheered on her son. She really did care for him.
"You won't get that chance, Matthew." She waved her hands over and Joe ran over to her.
"Did you see!? Did you see!?!" he cried with joy.
"Yes! I'm so proud!" she cheered and hugged him tightly. "Come on everyone! Come get a snack!"
She opened the containers and revealed cookies and treats she made herself. "Drinks are in the cooler boys."
He moved back as the kids gathered around them. He couldn't believe how normal she acted outside of the asylum walls. Then again, he had never really believed that anyone was normal. He spent more time at the asylum then with normal people. A sad revelation if there ever was one. "And just why won't I get the chance?" He was curious and slightly intrigued.
Her eyes hardened. "Leave me alone and let me enjoy my kid, Matthew. I mean it," she said. Joe looked at her and she softened. "Don't eat too much, I want to take you for pizza later. Grandma is going to meet us."
"Can I bring a friend?" he asked.
"Sure. But just one."
Matthew sighed. "I will just call for someone to pick me up," he told her as he stepped aside. Not wishing to get on her bad side anymore. "I left my cell phone in my office. May I borrow yours?"
She threw him her phone. "I'm not returning to the office for a few days. It's Joe's birthday." She pushed him to the side and smiled at Joe. "Grown up talk," she said and looked back at Matthew. "Since Alice isn't my problem anymore, I'm going back to the asylum I worked at before. It's closer to Joe's school and friends. The only reason I was assigned to your asylum was because they wanted Alice dead or cured." She crossed her arms. "And I wanted her cured. When she ran, she set her own fate."
She pulled him to the side more. "Look, I'm not stupid, I know there is more than a patient/doctor relation between you too. But I really don't give a fuck about it. I went there to do a job. The job failed so I'm going back to what I was doing before." She sighed. "I know she is at her nurses. I know you know that too. If you were smart, you would get there before that cop car does. I don't like knowing some teen is going to die. I may be a bitch, but I'm not as heartless as you want me to be."
Dr. Till nodded to him and walked back over to the kids. "So, who wants cupcakes!?" she said and they all held their hands up. "One a piece ok?"
He took the phone and simply sent a text message warning the nurse to do something. After which he handed her back the phone. "I doubt it will be easy returning to your old place of employment," he told her in a whisper. "The board decided you were to be a new director. It will take time for them to find someone else. Months...."
"I know, that's why I recommended you. I gave them my resignation yesterday when Alice said she wanted you," she whispered. "Today is my last day, Matthew."
Matthew's eyes widened. "What?" He shook his head slowly. "If Alice hadn't escaped...what were you going to do?"
She looked at him. "Hand her to you."
He rolled his eyes and sighed. "You can't just dump this all on me at once," he told her. "Couldn't you have at least talked to me before hand?"
She sighed. "No. Now leave me alone. This isn't your time." She took Joe's hand. "Ready to see Grandma?"
He shook his head slowly, unable to believe this. The board couldn't let her just leave like that. They were going to either keep her or fire her; and he couldn't see her letting the later happen. She had to take care of Joseph after all. Getting into a cab, he had it take him back to the asylum so he could get his car. He had to go check on Alice.
Alice looked at Sammy. "Should we go now?"
He nodded. Reaching down, he grabbed his cell phone as he read the text. His eyes widened as he red it. "Oh...this isn't good." He looked at Alice, and then at the text. "Alice, we're going to have to modify your appearance real quick."
She tilted her head at him. "What?"
"Apparently your picture is up all over the place and cops are looking for you." He pulled her to his bathroom and sat her down while grabbing a make up kit. "What color hair do you want?"
"What!?" she yelled. "No! I don't want to change!"
"We'll have to make you look different so you can go out. The cops are going to come here and look for you, so they can't find Alice."
Alice looked at her hair. "But...I just got use to the person that looks at me in the mirror..."
"It will only be temporary," he told her. Taking her hand, he pulled her to a second door. He opened it up, in it were long rows of wigs. "The reason I go by Sammy, is because sometimes I go out as Samantha. Hence all the girl clothes," he laughed. "Take your pick. It will make you look different, but you'll still be you."
She looked at all the colors and designs. She didn't want to stick out much so she picked a black wig with curls. "Is this ok?"
He nodded. "You'll look fine." He took the wig and pulled her back into the bathroom. After doing her hair, he put the wig on and made it look perfect. After fixing it to make it look like her real hair, he started putting make up, to make her look slightly older. Once he was done, he stood back and examined his work. "Okay. You don't even look like yourself," he smiled. "But you still look gorgeous."
Alice looked in the mirror. It was a whole new person staring at her. "Strange..."
"Don't worry, it will only be for a little while." He smirked as he looked her up and down. Looking at himself, he sighed. "Now I look plain compared to you. That just won't do."
She shifted in her seat and watched him. "You're...not going to turn into a girl are you?"
He looked at her curiously. "People don't just turn into girls," he told her. "I'm not...the Hatter, Alice."
Alice's face harder. She jumped off the chair and threw his brush at the mirror, shattering it. "Don't talk about him!" she yelled and stomped off.
"Alice," he said, quickly hurrying and taking hold of her. "It's okay. Let's go shopping and find you a new outfit. We'll get you your own wardrobe to wear."
She slowed then stopped all together. Her face saddened. "I'm sorry...I broke your mirror."
She blushed. "Oh..." She looked at herself in the mirror again and reached for a jacket. Putting it on, she did the large buttons and turned to him. "Do you think I'll get to see Matthew again?"
He paused and shrugged. "If you want...I can tell him where you are."
