Chapter 4

CHAPTER 4

You’ve seen Dr. Jonathan Crane on TV before, well on the news. You thought he was an attractive man. But having him here in front of you, you realize TV did him no justice. He’s incredibly handsome and his eyes are a beautiful bright blue. You push those thoughts aside. You shouldn’t think about your patients that way. You must have zoned out because Harleen nudges you as she’s talking. 

“This is Ann, she’s the head nurse and in charge of this wing.” Wow you really zoned out. You know a few officers at the GCPD but none of these ones look familiar. The one that must be in charge addresses you for probably the second time. “Ma’am what room is the prisoner assigned too?”

You chose one further away from the exits and within eye shot of the nurses station. You lead them down the hallway to the empty room. As you unlock the door you glance at Dr. Crane. He’s giving you a stone cold look. Too bad for him if he thinks that going to intimidate you. He’s going to have to try harder than that.

The officers take him into the room and sit him on the bed. They seem to be having a silent conversation about who’s going to take the straight jacket off him. You sigh, never send a man to do a woman’s job. You push through them and look Dr. Crane in the eyes. “Try anything and I’ll have you on your ass before you know what hit you. Understand?” He just gives you a crazed smile in return. 

You start undoing the straps on the jacket. Before you unhook the last one you make eye contact with him again. “Once I remove this you put your hands flat on the bed and do not move from this bed until the door is locked.” Again nothing but a crazed smile. You remove the last strap and pull the jacket off. You see some of the officers taking an assertive stance. Dr. Crane surprises you and actually does as he’s told. The officers pull you out of the room and back out slowly after you. You promptly lock the door. They all basically exhale in unison from the breath they were holding. 

The one in charge smiles at you. “Commissioner Gordon was right, you are a tough cookie. Maybe you will be able to handle Crane after all.”

You've met Police Commissioner James Gordon a few times. You do handle a good portion of Batman's captured criminals. He wanted to meet the nurse that tamed Victor Zsasz. 

You just wave the officer off. "I've had way worse. I'm not worried but thanks for the vote of confidence."

The officers leave, and you want to do your normal routine for a new arrival. Normally you have first contact and you introduce yourself and tell them the rules. But Dr. Weaver wanted to be the first to talk to him. You don't think she's going to be a good fit. She's in her late 50's, she's very old school with her methods, stern and very boring. 

So you go back to the nurses station and wait. Mary had to go check on a patient so it's just Dr. Quinzel standing there. She's smiling at you like she knows something. "What? What's that look for?"

She quirks her eyebrow at you. "I think I should be asking you that question. You were practically drooling as you ogled at him."

"What? I did not, there was no ogling.” She just laughs at you. “Sure whatever you say sweetheart.” You’re about to continue your protest but Dr. Weaver comes around the corner. 

“Dr. Weaver hello, since I have you and Dr. Quinzel here I need to inform you both about an incident that happened with your patients. Oswald and Edward got into a verbal argument which ended with Oswald hitting Edward in the head with his breakfast tray. I had to give Edward stitches. I’ve talked to them both, but I am separating them until further notice.”

Dr. Quinzel rolls her eyes, Eddie is her patient. Dr. Weaver always has a resting bitch face so she’s hard to read. “Very good, thank you Ann. I’ll talk with Cobblepot later. Now how was Crane upon his arrival?”

“Calm. Which from what I’ve been told is out of character for him since he was put in Blackgate. But I removed the straight jacket myself, and he listened to all of my instructions. He just kept grinning at me like he thought the whole thing was humorous but he never said anything.” You point her in the direction of his new living quarters. She nods her head and leaves without another word.

Several doctors come to your unit and hold group sessions for the patients and inform them of the new arrival. Some took the news much better than others. While that was going on you stayed at the nurses station waiting for Dr. Weaver to come out. You heard Dr. Crane can be unpredictable. You don’t want to judge him from things you’ve heard but that’s all you have to go on right now until you spend some time with him yourself.

Suddenly you hear yelling and pounding on the door. You quickly run to Dr. Crane’s room. You can see through the window Dr. Crane yelling at Dr. Weaver and trying to take her set of keys. You unlock the door and quickly enter the room. You grab Dr. Crane’s arm, twist it behind his back and kick the backs of his knees to knock him down. You pin him to the floor with your knee in his back and still hold his twisted arm behind him. He’s breathing heavily and trying to squirm away which isn’t working. You look to Dr. Weaver and give her a quick once over. “Are you alright Dr. Weaver? Are you hurt?”

She’s holding her hand to her chest and trying to catch her breath. “I’m fine. Thank you Ann.”

“Were you done? I can hold him here as long as you need.” That actually gets a smirk out of her, which is a first for you. “That won’t be necessary, but thank you. I believe we are done for now.”

You have Dr. Weaver leave first, then you turn your attention back to Dr. Crane. “I told you if you tried anything I’d have you on your ass before you knew what hit you. In this case it was your face though. Now Dr. Crane this is how this is going to work. I’m going to release your arm and stand up. You will stay here until I shut the door. If you don’t follow my instructions I will sedate you. So how about you make it easy on the both of us and choose the easy way huh?”

He starts laughing maniacally. You just keep him there until he decides to stop laughing. As you’re waiting you take a good look at him. He has a white t-shirt on and scrub pants. He is surprisingly toned, he has more muscle than you expected. You also notice the freckles he has all over the parts of his body you can see. Boy does his ass look nice in those scrub pants.You feel your body heating up, what is wrong with you. Stop thinking about your patient like that. 

He seems to have finally calmed down so you try asking him again. “So was that a yes to the easy way?” He gives an exaggerated sigh like he’s bored with you. “Fine.” Is all he says. So you release his arm and push yourself back on your feet. He turns his head so he can see you better and gives you that crazed smile. You back out of the room and promptly shut the door and lock it. 

Dr. Weaver wanted him left alone for the rest of the day, no contact with anyone to give him time to calm down. There’s a slot to slide food trays underneath the door. So before your shift ends you take his food tray to his door and slide it in. You don’t say anything though. You will come in early tomorrow and give him your normal new patient routine, Dr. Weaver said it would be okay. 

You had an exhausting day. You’re sure tomorrow will be too. You’ll just have to wait and see what Dr. Jonathan Crane brings your way tomorrow
