"Well, you're here for a couple of months, which can be less if you are on good behavior."

I look up at him, anger pumping through my veins. "Tell me your kidding" I say through clenched teeth. "I can't stay here that long! What about my job?! My customers?!" I say. I keep looking at him as I vaguely write in my book.

(Time): Sex, alcohol

"I cant leave them high and dry! I would be a laughing stock! What about my monthly and some even weekly customers! They'll go get someone else!"

I realise I aint actually told him my job yet...but I can just imagine how well that would go down!!!

"I know ALL that. But I just...can't seem to do it! I mean.... what is with this! I know what I should be doing but....I cant do it!!!...God Damn it!"

I look at him in amusement,never having seen him this flustered over a woman before."Boy...she's really gotten to you.Tell you what,next time she tries talking to you just don't answer her.Tell her it a new rule or something,while on the job you're not supposed to be chatting with the patients."

Taking a file off my table I start heading for Dr.Whitman's office,"I've got to give this to the new doc,Michael,I'll be back in a bit.Did you find that Valenti guy?Tell him to check in with me.I can't go running after all of them."

"Tell me your kidding. I can't stay here that long! What about my job?! My customers?!" Max says, writing in his book with his teeth clenched. A job? Well, he must take it pretty seriously.

"I cant leave them high and dry! I would be a laughing stock! What about my monthly and some even weekly customers! They'll go get someone else!" Go get someone else for what, exactly? Oh god. I hope he's not a dealer. That would make this ten times more complicated.

"What sort of job...do you have?"

"What sort of job...do you have?"

I swallow. Great...he would have to be bloody nosy and ask wouldnt he! He just had to...
I shrug. "Its a job...people depend on me"
I go back to my book and write it in it again.

"Does it really matter?" I ask with another flipant shrug.

[Fehr'sBear]

Alex

"Its a job...people depend on me" He says, shrugging it off. Well, dependence usually is related to drugs.

"Does it really matter?"

"Yes, it matters. Max, just between you and me...it's not...illegal, is it?"

[madroswellfan]

~~~~~MAX~~~~~
"Yes, it matters. Max, just between you and me...it's not...illegal, is it?"
"Illegal?" I repeat slowly. "Wait...are you suggesting Im a drug dealer or something?!" I say raising an eyebrow.

"Wow doc....you paint such a nice picture of me don't ya"
I roll my eyes and sigh.

"No Im not a drug dealer" I say as I look down at my book and write in sex and alcohol.

I look round at the room again. "Some people...well a few... call me an escort....others...okay most...most I guess might call me a gigalo"

[KarenEvans]

Isabel

I open the door to Alex's office and realise he's in with a patient but as I step back I hear my brother's voice and the end of his statement,"...most I guess might call me a gigalo"

My mouth drops open in shock and I step back outside hastily,not locking the door quietly as I had intended.Oh my god!!I am hyper-ventilating.My brother...my brother is a gigalo!

He's like that guy in that stupid movie...Deuce!...Oh my god how embarrassing.

[Fehr'sBear]

Alex

"Illegal? Wait...are you suggesting Im a drug dealer or something?!" He says it slowly, as though unbelieving, and I let out a mental sigh of relief. Thank god.


"Wow doc....you paint such a nice picture of me don't ya"

"Sorry, I've got to be precautious. And dependency and drugs go together."

"No Im not a drug dealer. Some people...well a few... call me an escort....others...okay most...most I guess might call me a gigalo" He adds, writing in his book again.

Wait a minute. He's a gigalo? What? So not only is he an alcoholic, but he also sells sex? This just keeps getting more complicated by the minute. Recovering, I look up at him. "So how long have you been a...gigalo?'

[madroswellfan]

~~~~~MAX~~~~~
I hear a noise from behind me. I turn around but I dont see anything, so I figure I must have imagined it.

"So how long have you been a...gigalo?'

I shrug. "Erm...well I guess it would have been about...two weeks after I left my parents house. I tried getting other jobs but apparantly such an "unqualified person" like myself cant get work."

I kinda spent all my money after two weeks... and when someone came up to me and suggested this job...well I couldnt care what it was as long as it got me some money. Which it did. And I love my job. I see many beautiful women, I have fun, and I make money in doing it. Whats the harm in that?

"So...I guess...7 years? Something like that" I say shrugging. "But I like my job, Im good at it, and thats what counts. And if people dont like it then screw them" I say lying back in my chair.

[Fehr'sBear]

Alex

"Erm...well I guess it would have been about...two weeks after I left my parents house. I tried getting other jobs but apparantly such an "unqualified person" like myself cant get work." He says, and for a moment I feel bad for him. He must be pretty uncapable of doing work to only be able to get a job as an escort. No wonder he drinks.

"So...I guess...7 years? Something like that. But I like my job, Im good at it, and thats what counts. And if people dont like it then screw them" He adds, leaning back again with a shrug. Well, literally screw them. Oh god, now I'm thinking like him.

"Well...as long as you're happy at your job..."

Pushing my glasses up, I notice a noise at the door, and look up to see it open, when it clearly had been locked before. "Oh. That's odd."
