Things only got stranger the next day.1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeAswICkve
"Please, lady, they're eating me! They'll kill me if you don't make them go away!" a female patient pleaded. 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyreXCRSL3
"Shh. It's alright. We'll make them go away," Julia reassured her patient soothingly, despite the fact nothing was on her. 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpu3lOdYaZ
"I'll get her a tranquilizer," one of the other interns said. 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBKR4xT4mV
"That would probably be best," Julia replied. 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iPz3ad9B4
"Will it make these things get off me?!" the patient asked frantically. 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21mvyL7XwG
"Yes, it will," Julia reassured again. "They'll be gone soon. Now I want you to look at me, nothing else. I'm right here." 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GJNUeteZG
The patient quieted down eventually, but she kept looking frantically around her cell, from side to side, until finally the tranquilizer did what it was supposed to, and her eyes slowly closed. 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaYhJNcAPF
"Something's wrong," Julia said, shaking her head. 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuZyxFu1VV
"We all know that," a male doctor in the group, named Dave, said. 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSIDOLVWEG
"I'm going to try again," Julia said. "Maybe I can get Crane to change their prescriptions." 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRlIwK8xnB
"I think you should wait until break time to do that," he cautioned. 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw0HCdWZUP
"Well, this is kind of important," she said. 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAUkKXYbLF
But when she hurried up to his office, he didn't answer her knocks on the door. Maybe he's finally off doing something about these recent events, Julia thought, but something prevented her from turning away and re-joining her co-workers. 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX3WyLUhIX
She looked both ways, and when she saw the hallway was clear except for her, she silently opened the door and stepped into the empty and surprisingly cozy office, complete with a velvet rug, an organized desk and a shelf full of books. The books were mainly works by Edgar Allan Poe, plus a few by Shakespeare--not as many psychological non-fiction books as she'd expected to see, though there were some on the bottom shelf. 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxwrOeLV4z
Now I'M the one acting twelve. I should really be helping those people, Julia thought as she moved on to his desk. Harleen was wrong, though; she didn't "like" him, she just wanted to know more about him, things that she could never ask him herself but things she had to know, like why he was so into fear but yet had such a calm demeanor about him. 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAouuTqEch
Something suddenly caught her eye when she looked down at his briefcase under the desk. She bent down to touch the odd material sticking out of the closed briefcase, and saw it was what looked like worn burlap. 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMYRdjLn8o
No, Julia, no... But yet she still stubbornly unlatched the briefcase to find it was some kind of...1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk4gOuk7GN
But she didn't have a chance to finish her thought about what it could possibly be. "Can I help you?" 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoJOBUkrkn
Blood rushed to her face, and she made herself get up and turn around to face him. "I can explain this," she said, while trying to make her heart slow down to its normal pace. 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdkEbhslMR
"Oh, well, please do then," Dr. Crane said, eyebrows raised. 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUlAu8BUau
"I'm...I'm..." Oh, real smooth, Madison. "I know I shouldn't be in here, but..." Suddenly, a good answer came to her, even if it was a lie. Right now her job could be on the line. "I thought one of your books might have some advice to help our patients," she said quickly. 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe737UOVPud
"And you thought my briefcase might have something as well?" 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lQfVN2zad
"Oh...well, when I looked away from the bookshelf I couldn't help but notice some material sticking out of there and..." The back of her head and the palms of her hands tingled furiously. "Please don't fire me," she said in a near whisper. "I'm sorry." 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fg1J6hy6j
"Curiosity is a normal thing," he replied, going around his desk and closing the briefcase back; she noticed how he was extra careful this time to make sure the rough cloth didn't stick out. "And you may have a slight neurotic problem yourself," he added with a small laugh. "I won't fire you." 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AvyoNtw70
She couldn't have been more relieved. "Thank you...I promise I'll never do it again." 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xZnt0xeDf
Dr. Crane smiled. "I know you won't."1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2lDy7TnzX
Even as she hopped from patient to patient after catching up with her peers (and Harleen asking her with a smirk why her visit to the office took so long), desperately trying to calm each of their patients down and assure them that the things they saw weren't real, she kept thinking to herself, Why did I have to be so stupid? I really got off lucky this time. 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7jwNK6OmO
Her stomach fluttered even more during break when she got to the table where she and the others usually sat, and she saw a note waiting for her. 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QCqyMOEHU
Ms. Madison, 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBCoIZNenJ
Meet me at the coffee shop when your shift ends, and I'll tell you everything you need to know. 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpASSAPFlYq

Julia knew there were tons of coffee shops in Gotham City, but knew which one he was talking about. Many times she'd driven past the one nearest to Arkham where employees often liked to go after work for one more burst of energy when they weren't quite ready to turn in for the night. 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1NUWFLQ5X
She quickly pocketed the note, thinking she was still alone, but Dave and Velonda, a friend of hers at Arkham, saw anyway. 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiLiDwVjo6
"What was that?" Velonda asked. 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ1TrdcZsb
"Please don't let Harleen see," Julia said with a half-hearted smile. "Just because I went to the library last night to ask Crane about the patients' behavior, she now thinks we're lovebirds." 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG0rhhp5II
Velonda just laughed, but Dave shuddered. "Well I'm glad you're not, because sometimes I don't know about him." 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV4zhHidir
"I'm sure he's a good person," Julia said, waving away his worries. "I mean, I think they check people's backgrounds and records before letting them become chief administrator of a place like this." 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l0M0CdpEX
"But what did that note say? I mean, if you don't mind telling us," Velonda said carefully. 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7HDa616Hp
"Oh, he just wanted to meet me at the coffee shop tonight after work." She wouldn't bother telling them about her little adventure inside the office or what she saw in there. 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPbayz1hxX
Velonda and Dave shared glances. 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih7UHyB705
Julia sighed. "Please, not you too. I assure you it's a business meeting, not a date." 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyEv17ulIV
Harleen waltzed in not long after Julia had said that, and she put a quick finger to the lips to signal her friends to say no more on the matter. 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOeNSsUk8w
But still, Dave whispered across the table, "I'd take a weapon of some sort just in case. Something about this just doesn't seem right." 1230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLkAZGD8eI
He sounded just like her father, but then again, Dave's words were none too comforting to think about. Maybe she would, maybe she wouldn't.
