Dr. Jeykell looked at Norman in surprise. "It seems you have me at a disadvantage once again sir." Regaining his expression of a kindly and sympathetic man, he sips his coffee.
"Why do you believe I am experimenting with minds or the soul for that matter?" We have proven treatments to help those in our care and the ones, which, are not responding to treatments, are looked after." His eyes narrowed as he watched his two companions.
Norman realized this was not going to be as 'simple' as he had presumed and attempted to back track.
"I beg your pardon Doctor. From what I have read and information gathered, in my research, your methods with the patients here border on the revolutionary.
I am extremely fascinated by your endeavors and simply wish to participate, should you be so inclined and if you were to find an assistant useful." Norman smiled and carefully leaned back in his chair, trying to create an openness to his demeanor.
Grace took advantage of the silent moment and addressed Dr. Jeykell. "We're here to help the woman we brought with us. She needs compassion and understanding." Her eyes moved to Norman for a moment and then back to the captivated Doctor. "I too, believe you have the skills and expertise to release her form the torment now possessing her." She meant what she said and her voice had a pleading quality.
Dr. Jeykell was taken by this woman and decided to consider both their statements. He couldn't risk bringing them into his secret experiments, unless he had further knowledge about them. Time would tell, if they could be trusted.
