Thank God there was a different receptionist working at Shady Oaks Sunday evening. Toni had worried about Doris being there and recognizing her from her sex addict routine. She tried to look a little different by wearing her glasses instead of contacts and pulling a knit cap down low to cover her blonde hair.

Carlos had picked her up at Romatech. The sun had still been up, and all the Vamps still dead. Howard had assured her everything was under control, so she was free to go. Still, she felt that uneasy sensation of being pulled in two different directions. Ian had thought the Malcontents would attack again. She hated not being there to help.

“We’re here to see Sabrina Vanderwerth,” she told the receptionist.

“You’ll need to sign in and fill out this form.”

While Carlos signed them in, Toni quickly filled out the form, including Sabrina’s name and ID number.

The receptionist checked the form against her records, the same records Toni had snuck a peek at the night before. “I’ll need your IDs.” She examined their driver’s licenses, then filled out name tags for them.

“I’ll hold your licenses here until you return and sign out.” She handed them the clip-on name tags. “Wear these at all times. You cannot bring any personal items or food or drinks into the wards. Do you understand?”

“Yes.” Toni was directed toward the guard, who went through her handbag, then patted her and Carlos down.

He unlocked the door. “Follow the sidewalk across the courtyard, then turn right to Ward Three.”

As they crossed the courtyard, Toni looked around. Inside each building, another guard was posted. She shivered. The place was like a prison.

Carlos opened the door to Ward Three and followed her into a small foyer. The guard checked their name tags and took their request form, which he placed in a sliding metal box. It slid into a nurses’ station, all enclosed in glass.

“Put your coats and personal items in these bins.” The guard motioned to some plastic bins on a table.

While they filled the bins, a brawny male nurse entered the nursing station and examined their request form. “Come to the door,” he spoke through an intercom.

There was a buzzing sound, then the metal door opened.

The male nurse motioned for them to enter. Toni noted his name tag said Bradley. And the hall smelled of disinfectant and despair.

“Are there visitors for me?” a young man asked as he shuffled toward them in corduroy house shoes. His Spider-Man pajamas were crumpled, and the red color had faded to pink.

“They’re not here for you, Teddy,” Bradley growled. “Go back to the men’s room.”

“Okay.” Teddy ran a hand through his dark hair that had a streak dyed white down the middle, making him resemble a skunk. He shuffled back down the hall.

“This way.” Bradley led them to the right. “Sabrina will be in the women’s rec room. We keep the men and women separated except at mealtime. It’s better that way since we get the occasional sex addict.”

Toni winced.

“Here you are.
