Malaki

Okay! thank you Kaylee!!!!!

Madi steps in, hearing the screaming “hey HEY! Enough!” She steps between Malaki and the officers “what the hell are you doing to my patient!” Technically she wasn’t on his case but it seemed like lying was the best course of action

“Almost an adult doesn’t mean he is an adult… back the fuck off” she pushes the cops out and shuts the door of Malaki’s bed bay. She sits on the chair next to his bed, staying silent, just making sure he’s ok, hoping he’ll talk when he’s ready

“We can’t get you out of those right now when you’re this erratic” she says calmly, hoping some sort of explanation will help “when you’ve calmed down a bit we can get them off ok?”

He makes a displeased noise and reaches for the chair, intending to throw it at the glass where he sees the police still watching him with barely hidden displeasure. His fingers barely brush against it and he strained more

She sighs, trying to stay calm but honestly she’s worried about him “I need you to take a few deep breaths ok?”

“Fucking PIGS” he finally grabs the chair and throws it in their direction, though it barely gets a second of airtime. He slipped and crashed to the ground with the throw. Simply curling up there as the police open the door, concerned for Madi’s safety. He wouldn’t hurt her though, she hadn’t done anything to him.

“Trust me I know” she mumbles under her breath. She’s had enough run ins with law enforcement as a teen to somewhat understand how he feels. Her eyes widen as the cops open the door “I need you out… he needs to calm down and you’re not helping”

Madi gives a polite but tense smile. She’s already hates this guy “yeah I’ll go do that” she closes the door to Malaki’s bed bay again, this time locking it and closing the curtain too “I might have to give you something to calm you down ok?” She says calmly, just sitting for now, wanting him to have some choice.

Her lips press into a thin line, trying to hide how worried she is. She wishes she could get the cuffs off him but she just can’t until he calms down, for his and her own safety. She sighs, weighing up her options “I’m gonna give you a sedative now, just a little bit, and then I can take those cuffs off ok? You’ll be awake and aware enough to know what’s going on and I’ll be with you the whole time”

He yelps as the needle pricks his leg, in a short amount of time he feels his heart rate slowing, despite the fear still strong. His mind felt coated with honey, thoughts slowing as he slumps. Distantly he was even more terrified, he wouldn’t be able to stop anything happening. He could barely before but now it was worse.

As he finally starts physically calming down. She gets the cuffs off him “you’re ok… I’m here with you ok? I’ll make sure no one hurts you… try to keep your eyes open ok?” she tries to reassure him. Hopefully the drugs will wear off soon. Hopefully he’ll be less erratic when they do.

She shakes her head, her eyes brimming with tears herself “I won’t let them, I promise…” she tries to calm him down “shhh I promise I’ll do everything I can…”

He holds his hands close to himself, looking up at her. “I don’t like ‘m” he says as he points to the cops, flipping them off with what little strength he had left

“Yeah I know… I don’t like them either…” she says with a soft smile at his weak middle finger

“They hurt me” he pouts, trying to pull himself on the bed

“I know… they can’t anymore, I’ll get Robby or someone scary to go deal with them”

He nods and lays down on the ground

“…. You’re allowed to lay on the bed you know?” She crouches to be eye level with him “can I help you onto the bed?”

“Yeah please” he says as he tries to stand up again

“Mkay” she helps him up to the bed “there you go… better?”

He curls up and nods, “didn’t wan’ hospital”

“I know… but if you didn’t come here you wouldn’t have got to hang out with me” she jokes

He grins slightly at her, still loopy, “but they’re gonna take me away!”

“I’ll work something out ok?” She tries to reassure him, not sure how she’ll get the police to leave him alone but she’ll make it happen

He nods, playing with the bedsheets absentmindedly. He looks around the room

The larger cop looks over at her, standing straight up, "Is he clear to go?" He asks in a gruff voice, clearly not caring all that much about the hospitals protocols

"He was being aggressive to us, not to mention he has been seen around the streets for a few days, just loitering. It is annoying people since he...well you know" He gestures to the kid, who yeah looked a little rough but what else could you expect from someone who's been on the streets for over a month

He pouts as he stares at the door, waiting for her return

“Apple” he groans as he holds his hands out for it

Her lips press into a thin line, trying to hide how worried she is. She wishes she could get the cuffs off him but she just can’t until he calms down, for his and her own safety. She sighs, weighing up her options “I’m gonna give you a sedative now, just a little bit, and then I can take those cuffs off ok? You’ll be awake and aware enough to know what’s going on and I’ll be with you the whole time”

He yelps as the needle pricks his leg, in a short amount of time he feels his heart rate slowing, despite the fear still strong. His mind felt coated with honey, thoughts slowing as he slumps. Distantly he was even more terrified, he wouldn’t be able to stop anything happening. He could barely before but now it was worse.

As he finally starts physically calming down. She gets the cuffs off him “you’re ok… I’m here with you ok? I’ll make sure no one hurts you… try to keep your eyes open ok?” she tries to reassure him. Hopefully the drugs will wear off soon. Hopefully he’ll be less erratic when they do.

She shakes her head, her eyes brimming with tears herself “I won’t let them, I promise…” she tries to calm him down “shhh I promise I’ll do everything I can…”

He holds his hands close to himself, looking up at her. “I don’t like ‘m” he says as he points to the cops, flipping them off with what little strength he had left

“Yeah I know… I don’t like them either…” she says with a soft smile at his weak middle finger

“They hurt me” he pouts, trying to pull himself on the bed

“I know… they can’t anymore, I’ll get Robby or someone scary to go deal with them”

He nods and lays down on the ground

“…. You’re allowed to lay on the bed you know?” She crouches to be eye level with him “can I help you onto the bed?”

“Yeah please” he says as he tries to stand up again

“Mkay” she helps him up to the bed “there you go… better?”

He curls up and nods, “didn’t wan’ hospital”

“I know… but if you didn’t come here you wouldn’t have got to hang out with me” she jokes

He grins slightly at her, still loopy, “but they’re gonna take me away!”

“I’ll work something out ok?” She tries to reassure him, not sure how she’ll get the police to leave him alone but she’ll make it happen

He nods, playing with the bedsheets absentmindedly. He looks around the room

The larger cop looks over at her, standing straight up, "Is he clear to go?" He asks in a gruff voice, clearly not caring all that much about the hospitals protocols

"He was being aggressive to us, not to mention he has been seen around the streets for a few days, just loitering. It is annoying people since he...well you know" He gestures to the kid, who yeah looked a little rough but what else could you expect from someone who's been on the streets for over a month
