Neil's POV
Joshi fainted!
Right in my arms.
Her skin was burning. Her fiery, challenging eyes went shut and her jet black hair flew open like a waterfall. Damnation when did I become so poetic.

"No.", my voice amazed me. It came faster than it should have been.
"Sir but...", the guy started.
"I.Said.I'm.Staying."
"Yes sir, right sir.", he said and turned back continuing his examination.
10 minutes and 39seconds later and my patience level had reduced to half.
