Take a big, deep breath and relax. I searched for some form of distraction. There was nothing except the mobile screen I had in my hands. 11.06am – the viewing screen clock advised me. My heart sank. Olivia was walking next to me, still talking. I’m not sure that she’d actually stopped yet. Even when our guide, Medic Levi, was speaking I could hear Olivia muttering asides to me, providing a commentary of everything we were doing…or that she was thinking about…or things she had already done... My tactic, of politely ignoring her, had not diminished her enthusiasm for the one-sided conversation at all. However, Fortune had smiled on me in one aspect, even if she had seen fit to inflict Olivia on me. We were now sat on the seventh floor of The Clinic in biochemistry. Medic Levi had left us for fifty-minutes to complete some basic blood work analysis and would be returning for us after that. The lab was nearly empty, with only one other Medic working nearby and he was paying us no attention whatsoever.
