Summary:

"The only difference between you and them," he finished softly. "Is a label. One word - crazy - and absolutely nothing you do will be taken seriously. You will never leave here."

His words almost got to me - almost. "That's ridiculous. I can talk my way out of that." He turned in his chair halfway, looking away - contemplating.

"Maybe so. You're quite smart, I'll give you that. But let's take another look at this - you call the police, they shut this place down, we all lose our jobs, and you never work in this industry again."

I slammed my right fist on his desk. "I don't care about that!" He sighed, and then resumed smiling. "I believe you. You're a man of principle. And you're smart. Instead of threatening you, let me offer you something instead: if you shut this place down, you won't have access to anymore files or patients. You'll never figure out this pattern you're... concerned with."

I withdrew my bandaged hand from above the phone, drawing in an angry breath. His smile widened. "Good boy."

I hated him with a passion, but he was right. I wasn't about to abandon these people to whatever was going on.
