It was easy to get by the receptionist. He had a brand new suit and a new fedora. He flashed her a smile, not letting her see the bad side of his face, hat pulled down, and he was past her. Ten years in prison may have aged him - his hair was more gray than blond these days, there were more crinkles around his eyes, and he was a tad more jowly

"Shhh. It's okay, dear. This'll help you get some sleep." A matronly looking nurse patted her patient's arm, ignoring the woman's faint struggling. The first sedatives hadn't taken completely, and the staff needed time to assess this new development. Mrs. Dent had never been violent before, but the last two times she'd had a visitor... Well, it worried them, certainly. Some had even discussed moving her to the third floor, where the more manic and possibly dangerous patients were kept.

The near decade spent in this place had been less than kind to Nadine. She'd lost weight, though not too much, and there were lines on her face. Her light hair had more than its fair share of gray, probably because she hadn't been allowed dye or else hadn't cared to request it. At the moment, she was fighting against the sedatives, struggling to try and tell the nurse what had happened, but she kept being shushed, told not to worry. She was restrained, held to the bed, and her right hand was bandaged.

Harvey cleared his throat. "Excuse me." He decided he'd have to play nice, at least at first.

The nurse looked up and over, frowning just a bit, more out of confusion than anything else. The only visitors Mrs. Dent had ever gotten were her doctor and her daughter. Of course, he might have been told the wrong room. That girl at the front desk seemed to chronically get room numbers wrong.

"I'm going to have to ask you to step into the hall, sir. I'll be with you in a moment."

"I'm her husband," Harvey said. "Harvey Dent..." He took off his hat, not lowering his eyes.
