Who: John Kramer and Open What: People-watching and plotting When: 4pm Where: Franchised coffee shop Why: Need to get him into the fold somehow? ;) Warnings: TBA, but considering the fandom?
She'd been in his office six hours beforehand, petite and eight months pregnant, covered in contusions from an obvious beating. What had specifically disgusted him was that her abuser was at her side the entire visit. He played concerned and she played the giddy mother-to-be. The pair passed her injuries off as a fall but the marks on his knuckles and her arms said otherwise.
Now John watched her through a tall cafe window as she argued with her partner again. The man didn't dare lay a hand on her in public, but it didn't matter, the woman was not the victim. She'd returned to this man again and again. She'd sacrificed the safety of an unborn innocent for her own selfish needs and he'd not thought twice about laying hands on her despite the life trying to grow inside of her. They were disgusting people and it made John's stomach turn and boil.
He hadn't the means to punish this pair and he wouldn't put the child in danger, but still he made notes and sketched in his journal between sips of coffee. He'd need help if he was to teach them anything, he wasn't well enough to do it on his own. He had the means, though. Coming into the life of a doctor meant he was at no loss financially.
