"I've really enjoyed being your assistant." "Enjoyed it?" Casper sensed Dillon was on the verge of tears. "As long as you're happy." That's often how it is between men, a few words and the conversation ends.
Casper could read Dillon's emotions like a book, but he knew Dillon too well. Talking more wouldn't help.

"Yes, when was about to give her an injection, I found the room's door open and the bed empty. She was comatose just a second ago, and the next second, she's gone. Could it be someone took her?" The nurse speculated nervously.
