Instead, she had to throw a few doubts here and there about ever leaving the Sanitarium, at least, right away. "Apologies, but I cannot authorize you to moved out of your room with the other patient without talking to Doctor Radovich. Besides, I do not even have the keys to even remotely let you out of the room without an orderly present. I can easily talk to a patient but can I even open the door to wish them a good night? Not really." Simone nodded over to the ordely who had listened in on the conversation in bits and pieces only to blush and narrow his eyes at his name being brought into the conversation. Did the orderly have some sort of crush on either Taylor or herself? Simone looked him up quickly and could see he would fall into the category of what the gay community called "twink." She bet the orderly would enjoy having Taylor rough him up and play Big Daddy to him.<br/><br/>Even if the orderly was into being dominated by other tough, strong, males, Simone needed to keep her attention and focus on Taylor. In fact, as she heard the alarm go out, Simone audibly winced and shook her head. "It looks as if someone got out of hand Taylor. We might have to cut our conversation short in a little while if I am needed but I will do the best as I can in my position here at the Sanitarium to have you released as quickly as possible. I know it is not going to take a few hours so I will not lie and say it is going to be easy. The Sanitarium will have to talk to the Board of Directors for the other Sanitarium's in the county and hope they only get a few fines and not have their license revoked." Some of what she said was bullshit considering she had yet to hear of any institution shut down. Sometimes they were given a slap on the wrist or had to rename their mental ward but nothing ever changed but the patients and the ways to help them become better individuals in society.<br/><br/>For Taylor, Simone could see he would need some help to come back from his halluciniations and reprogram him into something more suitable for society's tastes or at least for her research. "As for the groups, you might be involved with them and I suggest going just to get a look at the people the Sanitarium is looking to help better and bring them back to a level of being able to function without any assistance. Some are here for a few months while others will be here for years because of how fast and hard the condition has become for their minds." Simone pointed to a few of the patients taken out of their rooms and moved towards the cafeteria to have their breakfasts. She looked towards her watch knowing she only had so much time to spare before helping with group therapy. Simone wondered over how many would be in the group tonight if all of them ended up causing mayhem on the first day of group sessions.<br/><br/>"What I try to do is listen first and judge later. If I go right off the bat with judging you, I bet we might never have realized a mistake could be made with your paperwork. For now, I can have an orderly check in on you and you are more than welcome to defend yourself in case your other roommate starts to hassle you. As far as I can tell, he might be harmless save with a little rage every now and then. Just leave him alone and he will leave you alone." Simone had yet to see the file for the other patient having noticed some of the files had a few blank spots in them which she guessed were left to make comments about the patients. "If you do feel fearful of your life, just ask the orderly to ask for me or to be taken out while they calm down the other patient." Hopefully, the other patient would not wail on Taylor or try to choke him out in his sleep. She had seen a few patients who seemed normal turn to brutality at night and one had even raped his roommate. Hopefully, Taylor knew how to fight off someone wanting a piece of his ass.
