"I really thought your mate was going to be here by now," grunted Doctor Gray as he entered the lab where I was staying. He had been called away for a meeting with the Commander, and clearly, he wasn't impressed with whatever he had learned.
But the longer we had spent together, the more we had created a weird, warped friendship. It had resulted in a tentative truce between us that was enough for him to let me have a blanket covering me, and I didn't hold back any information on what he wanted to know.
It did create a bit of a hiccup when the Commander had come in and saw the blanket, he had demanded to know why I wasn't naked anymore and if Doctor Gray had gone soft on the freaks.
He had replied that it wasn't that he was giving me the blanket for my own comfort but rather his. Having to see my naked body every day was starting to turn his stomach.
