Nox took Dorian's advice and knocked on Dr. Pirozzi's door.
"Come in.""
Nox pushed the door open and leaned against the door frame. "Dorian says you are also a head doctor as well as the profiler for Domovoi?"
Dr. Pirozzi looked up from her work and her frown deepened when she met my eyes. "Typically. But I don't listen to Atharim murderers."
"Good thing I'm not Atharim, anymore." Nox smirked, though it didn't reach his eyes. "I know you don't like my kind for what we've done to yours. And I don't blame you. But I don't killl innocents."
"I notice you didn't say you weren't a murderer."
Nox shrugged. "That would be a lie and I do my best not to do that."
Dr Pirozzi folded her hands together and glared at me in the doorway. "What do you want, Mr. Durante?"
"Two things. If your ammenable to it I'd like to talk to you about some of the things I've seen and done since joining Domovoi as a consultant."
"And the other?"
"Does Domovoi keep any of the channeler sedation crap on hand to subdue their power?"
"We do. But why are you asking?"
"Ever since I lost the arm, I'm not the man I used to be."
Alex growled.
Nox chuckled. "Not like that. There are some anger control issues, impulsivness. I want to keep a vial at Kallisti in case someone needs to take me down." It wasn't exactly a lie. It was a partial truth, There was more to it
Dr. Pirozzi looked at me and she frowned. "I know you aren't telling me the whole truth. But it's for you? That is accurate."
Nox gave her a weak smile. "I just need a break."
"You have someone willing to put a bullet in your head, if necessary?"
He nodded. Nox didn't specifically ask Oriena, but if he threatened her family Nox knew she'd take him down without a thought. "And there are any number of people who'd do so for free too."
She got up from her desk and unlocked a box near the door and handed Nox a vial. "10 ccs at first, if that doesn't work, another 10 but anything more could kill anyone."
Nox took the vial carefully in his hand and tucked it into his hoodie pocket. "Thanks." He turned to leave grabbing the door behind him.
Dr. Pirozzi cleared her throat. "Make an appointment and we can talk. There is a lot more to talk about than just the changes if you feel as knotted as I sense."
Nox nodded. "I'll do that. Thanks. Talk soon."
