Chapter 17: The Clinic
Doyle was dressed and standing in the bedroom doorway before the buzzer finished its second ring.
"Don't," Noelle whispered, pulling the sweater over her head. "He's alone. If he sees you, he reports it."
She pressed the intercom button with her thumb.
"It's midnight," she said.
"Nurse Tarrant." The supervisor's voice came up tinny and cheerful. "Mr. Cavanagh wants you at the clinic tomorrow night. Ten o'clock."
"I quit."
"Nobody quits, dear. He says you owe him a favor for the laundry."
She looked at Doyle.
He shook his head.
She looked at him a moment longer, and her chin went up.
"Tell him I'll be there," she said.
The buzzer stopped.
Doyle waited until the man's boots had left the stoop.
"No."
"Doyle."
"You're not walking back into that building."
"Harlan talks to me like I'm furniture," she said. "Furniture hears everything."
"He knows you carried me in."
"He knows I carried you in and I'm still frightened. He thinks I'm his."
