Herbert was trying to not lose it at work, he was trying hard which was extra hard with his poor impulse control. He hadn't had Dan here to hide behind, he had had to build his own reputation and be thankful on one had ever heard of Doctor West. He wanted to scream to call Dan everything up the sun but when he replied, Herbert slammed the chart down, and slammed the door. Yeah, well, now the nurses know something's up. He stalked over to the bed, ripping his glasses off the way he does when a headache is approaching or he has something to say with a lot of feeling.

"DO NOT act like you care! Do not fucking lie to me, Cain!" Still refusing Dan's name, if he said it he'd break and he needed to be mad. He needed to not forgive him least he break down and lose it that his only friend was hurt. He refused to be weak, not when he felt so hurt and abandoned.

"You wanted to leave me! You kept threatening to leave, I know it was for your damned whore, so don't act like the victim here! You LEFT me to die, AGAIN!" His voice getting louder as color rose in his face. "Don't fucking lie to me!" he hissed again. Gritting his teeth to keep from screaming what their failed daughter had asked, what did he want?
