Doctor Ruth Hayes had been waiting for this day for months. Ever since she saw the news reports of Erica's capture and eventually restoration of her normal size the doctor worked tirelessly to get this opportunity. She took on other doctor's case loads and called every favor she could for a chance to get in front of the former giantess.
Now as she waited to be escorted inside and meet her new patient for the first time she started to get an uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach. Maybe it was the pages upon pages of violence displayed she read in Erica's case file while waiting. Maybe it was the guard telling her to mind her distance as Erica had taken a chunk out of another inmate's arm recently. Whatever nerves Hayes felt she would not let them deter her. She had asked for this for so long. It was finally time for her sit down with the Boogeyman.
Erica was shaking her foot as Hayes entered causing the rattle of the shackles around her ankles to reverberate throughout the interview room. Erica was eager to get this over with and get back to her cell. She wanted to know if Debbie had acquired what they needed. She had a lot irons in the fire. Getting that shrink ray was critical, but then again, so was ensuring this meeting had her desired outcome.
"Hello Erica. My name is Dr. Hayes. Mind if we have a chat?" Hayes asked.
"Sure thing doc. You may have other patients and meetings to get to lady, but I got all the time in the world." Erica said in a very casual manner.
"I assure you I cleared my whole schedule just for today."
"Really? And why is that?" Erica asked.
"Well it's not every day I get to meet someone so...unique." Hayes said.
Erica sensed the doctor had wanted to use another term to describe her. Crazy. Psychotic. Menacing perhaps. Yeah that last one seemed about right. She let it go and decided to continue their game.
"I don't know about that. I'm just some bitch who grew big and killed a bunch of people." Erica said.
"I think you're much more than that. I read what most of the public hasn't about you. About your husband and the tragic mistake that lead his death."
Hayes had laid all her cards on the table. It was a gamble but one that could net a big pay off.
"You know about what happened to Cody?" Erica asked with real emotion in her voice.
"I do. Someone made you what you are today. I also know that the person who caused it is in this prison with you right now. I believe this is a blatant sandbagging by the state to sabotage any chance of rehabilitation. And I'm willing to put my reputation on the line to prove it."
"What are you telling me?" Erica asked.
I want to work with you to prove Cody's death was the trigger point for everything that followed. Your rampage. All the deaths you've been charged with. Your sick Erica but you weren't always that way. Let me work on your behalf to prove there is some hope for you after all."
"How?"
"Well first of all getting you out of this place is priority number one. I heard you were already attacked. And I'm guessing these shackles aren't just for the other prisoners protection. I don't think your safe inside here. To be blunt, you can learn a lot more from someone sitting at table than on a slab. Most importantly I don't think you can begin to fully heal while in the same building as the person who caused your pain."
"You're right doc I don't feel safe here. I'm worried each day is going to be my last. I think if I wasn't so concerned about looking out for myself I could finally start looking in." Erica lied through her teeth.
"I believe that too Erica. Now we just need to prove it to the rest of the world."
"You know people aren't going to like this?"
"Oh believe me their already pushing for you to be put on death row. I had to fight my way through crowds of protesters driving in this morning. You're case is infamous and going to be subject to many future studies, both science and law. Like I said many on the outside just want you to be hidden away like some monster. I on the other hand want to dig deeper and try to understand you. Will you let me do that?"
Erica stared at Hayes for an uncomfortable amount of time. Finally she spoke.
"If it gets me out of here and away from these animals, I'll do whatever it takes." Erica answered.
"Excellent. I'll start getting the ball rolling on your transport request. Thank you Erica I think you'll find your next accommodations much more liberating."
Erica hid a sinister grin at the doctor's choice of words. Indeed she would, if everything went according to plan.
"Thank you Doctor Hayes." Erica said before a guard came in to usher her back out.
Hayes sat in her seat and watched the dark haired woman get up to leave proud of the seemingly important deal she had made.
Erica walked to the door with her back to Hayes. Her slight smile turned into a wide toothy grin.
