crossing_lostrp | [Daisy] Day 17: Vamp Until Ready (Reply)

Daisy had had some time to think since Ethan's visit. Too much time, really. She wondered what John and the others were doing to rescue her and the others. Not for a moment did she doubt that they would be doing everything they could. She just didn't know how much that might be. Daisy assumed (because it did her no good to assume otherwise) that she was still on the island. But she didn't <em>know</em> that for sure.

She glanced up at the cameras mounted on the wall. As far she could tell, they were only cameras. She had spent some time earlier searching the room, ostensibly looking for possible weapons--she'd made a show of assessing a few things for their potential as stabbing or clubbing implements--but really looking for evidence of a bug. She had found none. Unless they were very cunningly hidden, they didn't exist, so at least she could speak without being overheard.

Not long after her search, a nurse had come in ostensibly to draw blood and check her blood pressure and other nurse-type activities. Daisy noticed that the potential weapons were collected by a guard during the exam. Daisy made a show of flinching when the nurse drew blood, and "accidentally" knocked some parapharnalia onto the floor in the process. The nurse jumped and the guard whirled to watch her.

"Is there a problem here, Steph?" he'd asked.

"No, no problem," the nurse had said. And that was that.

Daisy had been a little nervous that they might decide that another "lesson" of some kind was in order, but apparently simply searching the room wasn't deemed crime enough to warrant punishment. For all the good it would do her. And now she had a name. Steph. Presumably Stephanie. Only a nurse. But a name nonetheless.

Some time later--there was no clock in Daisy's room--she heard the door unlocked. A moment later it swung open. A different nurse--a male nurse--walked in carrying a tray of food. (This has possibilities,) Daisy thought. The door closed behind him.

"Finally!" Daisy said. "I'm starved. What's for dinner?" The nurse glanced at her as he placed the tray on the rolling table in the corner.

"Nothing to get excited about," he said. "Hospital food," he added. While his back was turned, Daisy pushed her covers aside and sat up, crossing her legs tailor fashion. Somehow, the neckline of her gown drooped a bit and the bottom hem rode up considerably.

"They say hunger is the best sauce," Daisy said brightly. "A handsome nurse doesn't hurt either," she added. "At least you're not nurse Ratched."

"Nurse Ratched? Oh--you mean Bev?" He laughed uncomfortably. Glanced at the monitors. Put on his best poker face. Turned to push the table toward Daisy's bed. Paused, surprised by the sight of her. Gawked for just a moment before looking down at the table and taking refuge in his professional demeanor.

Daisy stretched and yawned and then ran her fingers through her hair. When she was done the neckline gapped a little wider and her hair had that "I just climbed out of bed and I'm ready to climb back in with you" look to it "Short, dark, bad skin? Works with Doctor Mengele?"

"Doctor M--" the nurse seemed shocked by the nickname. "Wilson?"

"I guess," Daisy said, shrugging. "So what did you bring me?" she asked again, eagerly examining her dinner.

She gave no apparent thought to her appearance as she removed the plastic wrap on a glass of juice and removed the packaging on a disposable plastic set of utensils. She never looked up, but she was aware of exactly where his eyes roamed. Daisy played him like a fiddle for the next couple of minutes. A little bantering conversation, a couple of small jokes, doing her best subtle flirtatiousness, giving him an eyeful of her tits, a glimpse of her holiest of holies--he never had a chance.

Five minutes later he wouldn't remember what they'd said. All he would remember was the hard-on he left the room with and the sights that had given it to him. But she would.

By the time the door closed behind him, Daisy had several names. Bev (Nurse Ratched). Dr. Wilson (Mengele). Nurses Stephanie and Tony. And Doctor Sakai, a woman Daisy gathered. And Wilson's equal, at least. Not much. But it was a start.
