Chapter 169: Outside
Maeve stepped back, away from Larz, but his focus was on the doctor. No doubt he'd get round to dealing with her. She didn't care what he said or did. She didn't want to remember. She wouldn't remember.
The doctor grated something and Larz grated back. From there, it appeared as if it degenerated into a heated argument.
And, suddenly, she'd had enough. Enough of worrying about the monster, enough of arguing with Zyrgins who could out stubborn anyone. She got onto the examination table and sat swinging her legs. "I should've brought popcorn," she mumbled.
Larz had the doctor by the throat and the doctor returned the favor. Maeve looked around for a scalpel, just in case Larz needed help. She rubbed her temples. She'd known, in that one moment, she'd known exactly where she'd have to cut the doctor to do a lot of damage. She didn't want to think about where she learned such skills and how she used them.
