agreed to take on Allison as a patient.
    Allison was proving to be quite interesting. So
far, Dreama could see that this woman was completely delusional.
But that was only scraping the surface. There were many more layers
to this woman's personality and Dreama intended to uncover them
all.
    She watched Allison's face as she heard the
accusations against her. It was clear that Allison didn't accept
them. She had excuses for all of the stalking incidents. As for the
breaking and entering and vandalism, she simply refused to
acknowledge or discuss that.
    "Well, Allison, you and I have quite a bit of
work to do but I'll be here with you every step of the way. The
first step is for you to understand what has actually taken place
and what the difference is between reality and what you perceive as
reality. So far, you don't seem to comprehend what your situation
is and that is what we need to work on first. Do you understand
what I am saying to you?"
    "Of course I understand what you're saying! Do
you think I'm a complete moron?" Allison cried.
    "No, Allison, I don't think you're a moron --
complete or any other kind. But we do have some work to do so that
you can fully comprehend what has happened. However, I cannot help
you until you agree that you need treatment."
    "I don't need anything, Dr. Addison. That's what I
am trying to tell you! This
has all been a complete and total misunderstanding! "
    "Allison, if you are refusing to work with me,
you leave me no choice but to hospitalize you for a few days to
stabilize you. In case you do not understand, the court has ordered
that you either work with me or you will be remanded to
custody."
    "What does that mean? They can't force me to do this!"
    "Actually, Allison, they can. But I would much
rather that you work with me willingly rather than having to
hospitalize you for a bit. That will be up to you, though."
    At this point, Allison came completely
unglued.

Chapter Two
    ALLISON BEGAN SHRIEKING at the top of her lungs,
gnashing her teeth and thrashing about on the sofa.
    Quickly, Dreama pushed a concealed button
underneath her desk while opening a draw and withdrawing a syringe
and a vial containing a sedative. She kept these on hand for just
such emergencies. They didn't happen often but one of these
situations only had to happen once to insure that she wasn't caught
unawares again.
    Within seconds, Noah, her assistant was in her
office and was in the process of restraining Allison long enough
for Dreama to give her a shot. The sedative was fast acting and
started to take effect almost instantly.
    Allison gradually stopped shrieking and started
to fall over.
    Noah caught her and laid her gently on the
sofa.
    "Wow," he said as he stepped back and stood with
Dreama. "What happened to her?"
    "She's very delusional," Dreama answered
quietly. "I didn't realize just how serious it was until it was too
late. Thank you for your help. I'm going to have to hospitalize
her. I'll call and make the arrangements."
    "Okay, Doc," Noah said. "Do you need for me keep
an eye on her for you?"
    "No, she will be fine. I expect she will remain
unconscious until the ambulance arrives, but thank you."
    "Sure thing. That's why you pay me the big
bucks," he said over his shoulder as he left her office and headed
back to the reception area.
    Noah Chase was a true lifesaver. Not only was he
a registered nurse but was a body builder proficient in several
forms of martial arts as well as a great office manager. With Noah,
she got an office manager, emergency nurse and a bodyguard all in
one. She damn well paid him what he was worth and then some.
    He was, quite simply, irreplaceable.
    Dreama made the phone calls to arrange what she
needed for Allison. She had really hoped to avoid this step, but it
was pretty clear that she had no choice.
    Allison was not functional enough to be on her
own. She had at least 72 hours to work with Allison and try to get
her grounded somewhat.
    Beyond that, she would have to
