“Who is it?” I said through the intercom in my apartment. “Just me Maria, I’ve come to check your wound” the doctor said and I pressed the button to release the elevator. It’s been a week since I was taken by those ugly pricks, it’s also been a week since I’ve seen Leon. Something isn’t right with him lately and I’m hoping the doctor gives me the all clear so I can find him. I had filled my cupboards and fridge with food, put all my belongings away and made this place feel just that little bit more homely. I opened the front door to welcome the doctor in. I walking over to the kitchen, I asked if he wanted a drink of some kind. “I’ll just have some water please Maria” he replied. I filled the glass with cold tap water and handed it to him. “Thank you, now... how have you been doing?”
