He was sure she was drawing blood.</p><p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s okay, Mrs. Labine. What do you think I&rsquo;m missing?&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;No one ever looks, no one ever sees,&rdquo; she whispered, her face twisted into a grimace, pale blue eyes narrowed. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s the stealing that does it. Too much, too much, stealing too much. Stealing the night. Everything breaks.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;Nothing like that can happen here, okay?&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;Everybody&rsquo;s safe now. I won&rsquo;t let anyone hurt you.&rdquo;</p><p>She pulled against her thick leather restraints, trying to reach him with her other hand. He wasn&rsquo;t in any danger from her, but letting a new patient get too upset threw everyone into an uproar.</p><p>&ldquo;Nothing works when the thief is about. Nothing, nothing, nothing. Everything breaks, no matter what you do. Stealing my bloody sleep away after everything else. Don&rsquo;t. Miss. It. Don&rsquo;t miss it. Dontmissit...&rdquo;</p>
