Hugh sat nervously in the office while the doctor flipped through the paperwork.
"Well, Hugh," he said. "How would you like to get out of here?"
"You'll... you'll let me go home?" Hugh asked cautiously.
"Only if you'll tell us where it is," the doctor put up his hand to forestall a reply. "Tanya - I believe you've met - has agreed to take you in."
"Okay," Hugh replied quietly.
"You won't be required to wear a collar, however you should be advised that Tanya is more than capable of restraining you should the need arise."
Hugh said nothing.
"I understand you've been working on a dining set?"
"Uhh. yes sir."
"We will have the pieces leave with you. But I'm afraid you'll have to procure you own tools. Tanya knows - or will if she doesn't already - about your hobby."
"Th-thank you."
It cheered Hugh to be able to continue his wood work. The dining set was coming on rather well, and he had to admit he didn't really want to leave it half done.
