King's words were not appreciated in the slightest but she kept her expression impassive.  Charlotte had no love for doctors.  Every single one she had encountered in her life had never been on her side.  Over time, it was easier to view them as the enemy.  And like one does with an enemy, it was always easier to go on the offensive.  She made only a slight shift in her chair as she appeared to direct her attention back to Judge Judy and the imbeciles she was currently berating.<br/><br/>The medical staff was surprised by the sudden appearance at their sides.  Gray glanced down at the offered hand but made no move to shake his patient's hand.  He had some misguided belief that to invite familiarity with his patients would remove his authority.  He was a nervous type, the kind of man who was well aware that there were far more patients than staff and if the inmates ever got a mind to, they could run the asylum.  While King's words of warning certainly made sense as all those items could easily become weapons, Gray instinctively wanted to do the opposite.  Who was this man, this insane person, to be giving him warnings about how to interact with his patients?<br/><br/>The nurses watched the interaction between the two men and bit back smiles.  They knew King was right and that he was only trying to help.  They also knew that Gray's stubbornness to not listen to anyone else was most likely going to get him hurt.  Minny sighed as she realized she would have to get one of the other doctors to talk some sense into the new resident.  Doctor Gray's mouth opened and closed once or twice as he tried to formulate an answer to King's request to visit with Charlotte.  What kind of hospital let the patients make these demands of the staff?  Once more, he was flabbergasted.<br/><br/>"We'll see what we can do about that, King," said Patty before she invited Gray behind the desk so they could continue to discuss patients.<br/><br/>Minny crossed the room to Charlotte's side and rested a hand on the girl's shoulder.  "Come on, baby doll.  Let's get you back to your room for a bit of rest.  You've had quite a day, making a new friend, haven't you?"  She purposefully used a soothing voice when she interacted with the blonde, guiding her hand under Charlotte's elbow to help her stand up.  Holding her elbow also provided a small measure of control over the young woman, a measure of control that could possibly be needed as they walked through the halls.<br/><br/>Charlotte went willingly with Minny.  As the pair crossed in front of the nurse's station, Gray happened to look up.  Their eyes locked and she offered a smile, a feral smile that showed far more teeth than was normal, a smile that did not quite reach her eyes.  Joseph Gray was struck with a feeling of great unease.
