Chapter 7
My feet tapped against the cold, tile floor. The large desk centred in the middle of the large entrance, I made a beeline for it. Growing closer and closer, my eye caught onto the woman I wanted to see who was chattering and shuffling through some papers.
Some were bills, others documents she stamped a few things and the thud echoed through the whole room. Glancing around at the plants that leaned against the large pillars which lead onto the second floor where all the patients were, I stretched onto my tiptoes to see the dark hallway behind her where Jack usually is.
The woman not seeming to notice me yet, I cleared my throat before strolling over destroying the last few inches away from the desk. Sliding my hands onto the desk, a sense of determination glowing through me as I opened my mouth and began to speak.
"I have a question for you Lady, do you have a minute?" Glancing up at me with a warm smile on her face, she mouthed the word 'okay' as she continued buzzing onto the phone with whoever she was talking to. Not catching most of the situation, she murmured for another minute or two before clicking the end button and set the phone down to the side of her.
"In fact, I do! What can I help you with Mark?" She grinned.
I guess I come here more than I thought. That or I'm one of the few who visit people inside of here. Come to think of it, are we even allowed to visit mental asylums?.....Oh shit I'm a bad person...
"Umm-"
"Are you here to see Jack? I can go fetch him if you like." The woman standing up from her chair and waddling through the mess around her desk, trying not to spill anything I reached out a hand and snatched her wrist, watching her blue eyes widen in surprise.
"Yeah but I just...I wanted to ask you something first." The lady watching me to see any hints of any expression other than sheepish, it seemed she couldn't find anything so she wrapped a warm, patient smile on her face and went along with the conversation.
"Oh? And what might that be?"
"How much possibility is there to snatch Jack out of the asylum for twenty four hours or so?"
"............"
"Ma'am?" The woman backing away from me with her blue eyes now screeching in alarm, I raised an eyebrow to notice yellow lapping up the blue and taking control a little more than allt the other colours that swirled inside there.
".....I swear you two have linked minds, it's really fucking creepy." She chuckled. Shaking her head with a sigh as she managed to finally snatch herself out of the box of a desk, she took in a deep breath before beginning to walk down the dark hallway.
"What?"
"Stay here."
"Oooookay?"
What does she mean Jack and I have linked minds? Did he ask the same thing? If he did, it would give us a better chance of actually doing something together other than being a married couple but one is in prison. Well, we aren't a couple. Nah...We aren't gay....Maybe? Nah. Nah nah nah nah........Okay....Maybe a little....
"mmmmmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKK!!!!!!" Head turning down the hallway to see Jack bolting up to me, his eyes narrowed and looking severely pissed, fear coursed through me to see his handcuffs and strap jacket, even the muzzle, gone.
The sudden need to scream enveloping me as he leapt towards me, I just watched as his arms out stretched and landed firmly onto my back as he jumped into my arms. Cringing as his fingers dug into my shoulder blades, I pulled my head back a small bit to see Jack's bright, ocean blue eyes staring at me happily.
Wrapping his legs around my waist and planting his head on my chest, Jack let out a sigh as I saw his eyes close and he embraced the hug.
Awww...
"...It's good to see you Jack." Sighing as my hands wrapped around his lower back to stop him from falling, I could hear Jack's thoughts buzzing way too quickly through his mind until a single one seemed good enough and his eyes snapped open.
"MARK! Guess what I wanna dooooo!" Jack giggled. Flipping his head back so he was dipping in my arms, I struggled to tighten my grasp as he swung left and right like a small child wanting to be let go whilst having a tantrum.
"What do you....Wanna do?" I managed to get out. Hand finally catching his spine, I shoved Jack up so he was inches away from my face. A huge smile beaming on his face, looking happier than he usually does if possible, Jack wrapped his arms around my neck and squeezed me tightly.
"I wanna sleepover!" My eyes darting over to the woman, wanting to see her reaction I felt a buzz course through me as she smiled warmly at the two of us before sitting back down in her seat and going back onto the phone, doing her work like she was supposed to.
"If it's okay with her, I would love to take you home. Let Markimoo handle this right now okay Jackaboy?" Jack's eyes widening in surprise I felt him tense up as I pulled him off of me and gently set him down on the ground.
Not really knowing what to take from the expression Jack had, I decided he liked the nickname considering his hands went up to his face to hide his facial expression. But I caught sight of a tint of blush that washed over his cheeks.
Jack burrowing his face in his hands and groaning loudly, sounding muffled from his hands, I laughed as I turned to get directions from the lady and she just handed me a letter, a place where I had to sign and her signature as well.
I guess it's settled then.
Jack's going to be sleeping at my house tonight.
