Jess drags herself into work next week after a weekend spent in hospital, still with the knee brace. It's not broken, but still really fucked up. Now she has a hospital bill to pay off as this is one not being footed by Maggie. Last time was a rare gesture from a millionaire and she'll never get that lucky again.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhNFkpXdgp

"Seriously? Do you have no life outside work? You could have stayed at home, you didn't have to come in." Bella says, standing right at the sign in booths.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkFktFYEjA

As they walk past heading to the elevator to the security office, she looks over at the medical tent. Just Brianna is present, she's setting up alone. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQL37GcMY0
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8DTNULP1I
"Where's Adam?" She whispers to Bella. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfauwHL9Rgz

"Who was her mother?"104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxZ59Jklzk

And Bella stops, turning to look at Jess. "Forget I said anything, I'm sorry."104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgwKmjuEb4
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ks2gn0kF1
And then they continue on. Her co-workers have secrets like she does. They arrive upstsirs, seeing Maggie talking to people, Anna not present. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMYpSZdAcu
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhavX1ya8qA
"Maggie-" Bella begins, Jess cutting her off. "First of all, I just want to say I am not shooting up drugs. I have never touched drugs and if you want to fire me, go ahead. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNadISBYVZP
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2himRg7e8V
Heck, I'll quit right now myself. I'm problematic, dragging drama to work with me. I sware I'm not doing it on purpose and I actually have no real intention of getting to know any of my co-workers. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfievCGOR04
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSc09hR1BY
I'm only here because I need a job to eat and pay my bills and that's it."104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEs2ZIp7U4
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviDV4UHX2G
Maggie stops talking mid setence hearing what was just said. "Oh..." Bella whispers, looking to the side, her hair falling and covering her face.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkCaybPuul
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBM9fGP3Dd
Maggie turns around and takes a seat, leaning on one of the desks. "Jesse-"104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuxHEr74zH

"You're right, I'm sorry. I don't know you all that well. Jess, when my now dead and ex-husband murdered my children, 1 girl and four boys it tore me apart, I was an emotional wreck for years. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm4MnG3prQ
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeExuU6Z5fS
I met him in University and dropped out as we fell pregnant, we married and I got pregnant several times after that. I stayed home living the home house wife life, he graduated and was also the bread winner, we we're rich, had a mansion and then he killed them and himself. He had been a tad abusive to me, but I never thought he was capable of murder.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQR0vArnxS
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdosgdPF96S
Fast forward a few years, I'm slowly picking myself up after grieving, I now run this place, it's not what I want to do forever, but there was alot of fines and debts that need paying, and I could only ignore them so long, I'm also in the position where I'm fucking loaded from the insurance payouts and that this fun centre is actually profitable, I sold the mansion and don't live there. It wasn't in complete disrepair, well, it kind of was. Give or take that, I still sold the plot of land it was on which was hundreds of acres.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHn1pQbuas
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPRKmDYak1
I fix this place up fully, pay off every fine and debt, have a full rotating roster for every department and I'm going to sell this bussiness to somebody else on the condition of they can't fire anybody in the first 12 months, they will sign a legally binding contract, I have a team of lawyers.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZwsoZGxKG

"What I'm trying to tell you is what kind of boss am I let alone a human being if I am having no fucking empathy, compassion, understanding what so ever for other people? You aren't going to be fired by me unless you do something as bad as the ones who locked you in the android warehouse first shift, that's an immediate dissmial. And the county for this area fined me for that, laying out heating was a regulation in warehouses overnight even if they are not made for humans as accidents like yours happen.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEUAnGGk6V
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5I6XSeTSB

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ385lZzLzDO

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxh28k8pPa

She co-developed the treatment for Hanahaki Disease. She moved in just last month. Crazy, I'm surrounded by bloody doctors." Maggie laughs.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIovDINxcP

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScWOwWKIIW
"Me. I'm a Psychatrist, but I'm still a Doctor, Jesse." Says an unknown voice, turning around to see it's Anna. "And if you're lucky, you will never find out what Hanahaki is. It's brutual, but you could search it up later online I guess..."104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZBwJuYNG9
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fjByVPKWK
"But not on company time." Maggie laughs. "I'm sorry, Jess. But I need to be actually running, I'm supposed to be in a group call soon. Uh, so, please don't quit... Bella will give you your tasks for today, you're on office duty, I can't have you on the floor with your leg still injured... Now, I have to run."

"She does not seem like an annoying corporate-" Jess begins. 'No, she does not." Bella responds. Anyway, let me get you set up at a computer. Also, we reviewed the security footage, saw what Ren did. She has been discplined, but we have also talked to Jamie. Though I think it when in one ear and out the other for Jamie, she doesn't want to go to school, would prefer to hang out here and bring... her baby sister with it. There has to be something going on with her parents if her baby sister's not in childcare arrangement and at school for Jamie."104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfkkxpJOoO

"The law doesn't allow us. If a Truancy Officer wishes to check the funpark, turning up on their own accord, we have to let them in.

The day passes pretty uneventfully, has to stop during the day to take some pain meds and soon enough the day draws to a close. Just like clockworse, a text is recieved, Douglas.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5ucgj8yzZ
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCeBYbHGTk
Douglas: Come outside, corner of the building, don't be noticed by Bella, enter the blind spot.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG8CBf89Rx
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV8AaFonPH
Jess: I have a leg brace on, my knee is still really fucked up from running from you. If you're going to grab me or whatever, just take it easy on my knee, please.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzTgOfxVhe

Jess: He wouldn't infront of everyone else.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0H0WicDs2
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoQywHW7EO

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0dwCqACev
She puts her phone down, sighing, collects her stuff and signs out. Bella has nothing to debrief anyone on. Heading out to around the side of the building, she sees Douglas classic green car waiting right in the back in the shadows. She can see some damage down down the side, but for the most part it looks cosmetic and they buffed most of it out. Douglas is hanging out in the drivers seat, but Bailey and Green are waiting outside. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYLmPj2mJn
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVLUHeU6Xm
"Seems it wasn't written off then." 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEBnZckBJo
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcSghjxCJ3
They all look at her. "Thanks to you, the airbags don't work now and I'm going to have to look into a 3rd party work around option." Douglas moans, not getting out of the car. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpheiLlY0bR
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1XFYkB4ul
"Come on, girly. Bag." Bailey says, holding his hand out gesturing for Jess bag which she hands over, him throwing it to Douglas through the window. He then takes her arm, Green taking her other and they force her into the backseat, mindful of her injured leg. Bailey does her seatbelt, but they don't let go of her arms the whole drive, taking back roads and other places.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5F0Rf2qns
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMTfywrJ9z
"Where are we going?" She asks, which earns no reply. "Are you going to kill me?" Which finally elicts a response. "No, I'm not going to kill you. You're more my informer on the inside.

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoRWcFTodK
They pull up to what looks like an abandoned building and the definition of sketch. "Is this where you took me the first time you-"104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQVMmqbT7b

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8qsGNoDiO
And Jess is helped out the car, dragged inside. Douglas stands to the side as Bailey puts in a pin on the keypad, pushing open then door, walking in and Green carries Jess in by the waist, lifting her feet off the ground, Douglas following behind and closing the door.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX4m1DO88z

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64jPpgLZwU
"Brianna?" She says out loud, but then realizes it isn't her. This woman is much older and sighs. "You gotta be kidding, come on! No, that's my daughter. I'm her mother not that she calls me that. The state took her into care when she was little and I never really got her back. She hates me. Now, who wants Coffee?"104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj0RHoyMbY
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSttzTMy5vc
"All of us, Bon Bon. We'll be in the other room." Bailey says, gesturing for Green with her to follow, Douglas trailing after them. They enter a room off to the side down a corridor, it's a small bedroom with only a double bed and a built in wardrobe 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvMHkbNsIP
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgujpnD8pp
She sees on the bed, ropes already attached to the headboard and base. "No! No, no!" She yells, struggling and Green only takes her closer, Bailey assisting. They throw her against the mattress, tying up her arms and then her feet and one across her waist for good measure. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KF3F8RhFa
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjQ11H4BwY
"Douglas! Douglas!" She yells, but he turns away and ignores her, walking out. Bailey and Green get off her and walk out as well, switching off the light and it all goes dark, hearing the door click, someone locking it. She's trapped in this room in the dark as it's boarded up, and tied to the bed for the next few hours. She can yell and scream as much as she wants, but they all ignore her, no one coming in. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WR4QA319H
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2ANGbyCw9
She nods in and out of sleep, unaware how long it's been and barely registering someone unlocking the door and coming in, closing it behind them. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizhMYlh1yV
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYTlZXW6Fc
"Jesse, Jess, wake up." They call, applying pressure to her shoulder, giving it a little shake. She opens her eyes and they take a seat beside her on the bed. "Here's how it's going to be. You're going to pull your act together and start really doing what I want or I am going to make your life a living hell and you can expect this room to be the last thing you see. You've got the weekend to make your choice, no one will be looking for you.

"You won't be alone, the others are still here. Be good, see you Monday." And he walks out, locking the door again. She screams, straining after he leaves and her limbs start to burn, causing her to stop.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugyx07Xk1P
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7gbDLaUxq

"No, I'm a Surgeon actually. But give or take that, my daughter still chose a similar proffesion. She's doing it because she wants to show she's a good person and better at helping people compared to me."104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2mIuCiPIN

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8S9HTea0F
"We can drop the last names charade now, I think Jesse. We're the ones in charge here, Douglas hired us for a reason." Bailey speaks up. "And I'm Johnthan. Behind me, Bobby. The cop you ran into used to be his fiance actually."104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthQchdfuHQ

"Whatever." Bobby snaps.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb1Pk0beZv

"You hungry, Jess?" Maeve asks. She shakes her head no. "Who are you guys?" She asks.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oQipLAd2e
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7oabrzv2R
"We belonged to a former human trafficking ring. It was dismantled, but there is still a few of us so I suggest you don't push us. I'm in charge now. Douglas has given permission for us to hurt you if needed. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAUBWBaIe4
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzDpyyFcsr
We still take contracts on from people like him." Johnthan tells her.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8Dl2hlgyb
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LIYcrB1lc
She doesn't know what to say, this is serious. She sinks into the bed, wanting this hell to be over. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNNaKMX6vc
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTy9d6ViEC

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxRdLpu6sF
Hours pass and she lays in the dark, awake unable to fall back to sleep and her limbs are aching from being tied in the same position for hours on end when she hears her door open, someone coming in. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDmNt7cCsB
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dpm3efElz
It's Bobby and he closes the door behind him, taking a seat beside her on the bed, inching closer.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcB7QmkXl1
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xyNd5buNS
"You awake, Jesse?"104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfgiiejG3T
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8P0TDIf1h
She ignores him and he peers over, looking at her face. "Yeah, you're awake. You hungry now?"104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NT5EtiVj5
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJxJOIE7Ef
She shakes her head no, not giving him any of her voice. He doesn't deserve it. "Uh, okay then. Well, don't starve yourself too long or Johnthan will have Maeve insert a feeding tube. Bringing you here was to make you obey Douglas, you dying isn't the plan here really...104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRwr9VmCHi

So, uh, what do you think of Clara? She used to be my girlfriend, I was going to marry her... but uh, my life has really gone to shit since then. That was a long time ago now. Everyone around me ended up having kids and they are all grown up now, most of them are your colleagues suprisingly.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANyppBC9zi

"Not all of them are apart of us anymore. We either went to jail, a mental hospital, deported and jailed I heard and then they either got out and lived normal lives, got married, had kids, worked legal jobs... or they ended up like me. Alone, and went back to a life of crime. This is the only life I know, I was in university before, but got kicked out and no one would employee me."104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkRh9d5vX1

"A human trafficking company, we we're called Ring. I still have my ring actually." And he shows it off, a snake biting it's tail in a circle around his finger.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8amgHDtVz
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GA9PtOfpA
"Very symbolic..."104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzpJpkxvmA
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfakeljSfkD

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwebYzn066n

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAR1PuxlUc
A few weeks back... the Hospital called me after my discharge. Said my blood results indicated I had Merge in my system, they had to expand the testing range as it they weren't looking for it at first as it's a black market drug.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN9CBgBE6F
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAKahjb10G
It's an offense to carry here, but not if it's in your system. It still gets reported to the police though, but there was nothing they could do. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1A6Oqimm3
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xuBFVam1Q
They already know who I am and some stuff about me and when I was running from you all, and Clara hit me minorly, she inspected my neck. I was unconsciousness for a minute. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzuJNKTN7p
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurJhlg5Zkz
People who shoot up, do it in their arms, not their neck. She would have reported that and later discovered my drug report from the hospital. When she came to check up on me supposedly work, I think she already knew about the Merge."104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy53QgQ40o
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcWE0GA312
"Okay. Well, try and her dismiss her as much as you can, okay? She'll come back, she is a very determined person. She never took no for an answer. She used to be a police officer before, we lived in Canada.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTe8SAnuMc
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uV1GRuuac
I'm suprised she's a detective now, I didn't know. But hey, as long as she's happy I guess..."104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84q14Q0Hn6
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVsII1AiS1
She nods slowly. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VFIIBtyop

"No-" And he slaps his hand to his face, embarassed.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnZmlHeQAI
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsCrHI9QdA
"I'm not stupid, Bobby. I had an ex-boyfriend before moving here. Douglas knows my base story. My ex was my fiance to and his sex drive was high. If you want to have sex with me, just come out and say it. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7YY9aqPDR
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2bsUU9y1N
But I won't be your girlfriend. Not at this point."104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcOTDnWcnT
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGpywNSz0i
His quiet and looks at her. "Bobby?" She says, calling his name. He crawls ontop of her slowly, feeling his hand trailing up her stomach towards under shirt and his other hand creeps down to just below her pants, resting right underneath where it lays.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ63Cn10HlA
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwQUKG1SJy
She squirms, pushing her legs together trying to push his hand away and his lips touch hers, tongue inserted, feeling his hand on her chest give a good squeeze and then a good rub. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLjGSIjA1e
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jVjVzhUiY
His fingers rubbing just on the outside below to stimulate. "Mmm! Stmp!" She tries, but can't say anything with his tongue in her mouth. He pulls her pants down, shoving three fingers in. She bites his tongue and lips, him screaming in pain and jumps back. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sbcdRTbDx
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fDKPBM6kg
"Johnthan! Maeve!" She yells him, quickly covering her mouth with his hand. "Stop! No!" He says. She squirms, not able to say anything. Bobby stays quiet, listening and no one comes. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpOx2qTKbM
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhk8tHt1Ti
He looks relieved and picks himself up and helps her dress, keeping a hand on her mouth. "You say anything to them, I will make you wish you hadn't. I know where you live, I know who you friends are and I can easily acess Johnthan's supply of drugs." and he removes his hand, leaving the room quickly.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZEFFj9vUe
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoixpv8NLTb
For days after that, she doesn't see or hear anyone really. Maeve visits briefly, able to persuade Jess to take a few bites of food, but that's it till the door opens and Douglas walks in. It must be Monday...104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGqoHA0HEg
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFdvJXUThW
"Morning, Jess. Works tomorrow for you. You made up your mind? Are you going to start getting me what I want? You we're great at the start, but then went fairly aloof."104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLvrS8Rz0h
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNjKaqJz5U
"Douglas, I have psychosis." She tells him quickly. He looks caught off guard quickly and sinks to her level, confused.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj2iusWsRL

"When I was gone for a while, I was stuck in the psych ward because of your Maggie. I had my first break at work and-"104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4O6bhDkRq
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg6UBFpJs0
He doesn't let her finish, him quickily pulling on the rope restraining her and it all comes loose. "Shit, I'm so sorry." He says putting his head in his hands. She sits up a little. "Jess, if I had known- You shoulda told me the truth. Damn it. No wonder the Psychatrist is hanging around the centre, it all makes sense now"104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmUEDeqxbo
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbdlTY567K
"Anna?"104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQfR8ii8HO
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTjeBqeIHb
"Yes. She was Maggie's dorm room mate back in University. They hated eachother at first. My ex was never good at dealing with people, and I did isolate her from others... when we we're married... no wonder she called Anna. She isn't coping at running the centre alone. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qUM8xRFks
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHaiPLTl30
Jess, if you ever get sick or something again, just tell me. You we're sick, not deliberatly avoiding me. I'm sorry I scared you last time we met and I gave you Merge, that would have made your problems worse and now your knee is injured because of me. Did you recieve a formal diagnosis or anything?"104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoqf4njveH
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWiGls7LFf
"Not yet."104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s26XnrC2A
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM2ujffrmw
"Okay, listen, I know Anna. You need to comply. She will send you back to hospital if you have more symptoms and don't engage in treatment, and I would have to find someone else at your workplace. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanGouOoZoS
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VU685lb1v
Can you see Anna for me? Just play along, send me what can you about the center and I'll never give you Merge again if we can help it." And his holding his hand out for her to shake it. She slowly does, "Thank you." He tells her, pushing her to lie down. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI5RscCWIi
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQuOUZyjyD
She goes stiff. "I'm not going to tie you up again. Just get some rest, work is tomorrow." And he tucks the blanket around her. "They told me you said they we're allowed to hurt me." She speaks up. "Bailey? I- Yes, I did say that. If you we're difficult, they could. But nowhere noticeable, I'm sorry." Then he leaves, taking the rope with him. She does hear the door lock, guess it was almost too good to be true.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQrHZAxL1N
