Chapter 9

Anja did not arrive at Jeremy’s room that night. He sat waiting, growing more nervous with the minute. He jumped to his feet when the door opened, and only just managed to remove his enthusiasm when the large cigarette smoking nurse from earlier in the afternoon entered, carrying his tray with food. His eyes quickly moved from her to the tray. His spirits dropped when he saw the glass of juice standing alone.

“Drink it,” she commanded as she placed the tray on the table and thrust the drink into Jeremy’s hands. She then stood back, arms folded and waited with a look of angry impatience set onto her features. “I said drink it,” the large woman barked.

Left with no other option but to acquiesce to her demands, Jeremy drank. Conscious of the slimy feel to the liquid as it slid down his throat. It was everything he could do to stop his body´s natural gag reflex from rejecting the liquid.

As she had done that morning, the nurse inspected the cup as it was returned to her, ensuing that every ounce had been drained. Without further instruction she turned and left. Pulling the door shut behind her.

Jeremy stood and counted to ten, listening as her footsteps receded down the hall. He then walked casually to the toilet, dropped to his knees and forced himself to vomit up everything he had ingested. As his fingers wormed their way deeper into his mouth, Jeremy felt his stomach cramp as his body rejected the substance he had been given. He coughed and sputtered as an effervescent blue vomit spewed from his mouth. The eruption was so forceful Jeremy had to adjust his position in order to keep his disgorge from missing the bowl.

With his stomach empty, Jeremy rose to his feet. The world around him was beginning to spin. The drugs were fast acting. He could only hope that he had regurgitated enough of the substance to keep control. He still held hope that Anja would arrive with answers. She would not dessert him.

Jeremy sat on the bed and waited. When suddenly his door opened with a rough and frantic yank. Anja sprang into the room and closed the door behind her. Her face was white and she wore an expression of complete terror. Jeremy thought it remarkable how, even in near petrified state, Anja’s beauty seemed to shine even brighter.

“We have no time. You must move tonight,” she began, hurried, gulping at the air. It was clear that she had been running. “You must get out of this place … now. Here, take this.” She leaned forward and kissed Jeremy on the forehead. In the same moment she slipped something into his hand; a key. “It unlocks the front door. I’m sorry, it was the best I could do.” Anja moved away, her face growing paler by the second. “You will need to move fast. They can see the driveway out of their offices.”

“I don’t understand.” Jeremy paused as another wave of dizzying nausea washed over him.
