Morning… Dr. Marx’s Office…

Samuel walks briskly into the office and straight past Helen’s desk.

“Hey, Samuel! Why are you in such a hurry? Dr. Marx is on the phone. You’ll have to wait a few minutes.” Helen says as she jumps up from her chair.

Samuel turns back to face Helen, “It’s important. I should have contacted the doctor last night, but it was late, and I didn’t want to disturb him.”

Helen responded, “I know it’s none of my business, but what’s going on? Is it something to do with Jim Foster?”

“Of course, it has to do with Jim Foster. Everything around here is related to that guy lately. I can’t eat, I can’t sleep, I can’t even think without hearing about Jim Foster.” Samuel says with a bit of annoyance.

“I’m sorry to hear that, Samuel. Hopefully the doctor will be able to help you and the pressure of taking care of Mr. Foster will go better.” Helen said, trying to sound helpful.
