Zen screamed and screamed until the tentacles withdrew. At once, she was able to rise out of her restive slumber. Her screams filled and reverberated against the factory walls. Her rage – and terror, amplified by the darkness. In the next moment, Emmett ran up the stairs and flipped the lights on. She rushed toward him, and he gathered her up in his arms.

“What did you do?” he asked. His voice menaced.

“Me?” Zen asked confused.

“I beg your pardon,” said the Doctor who had been standing next to the chair near her bed.

When she saw him, Zen wriggled out of Emmett’s grasp. She drew herself up naturally to a perfect boxing stance.

“Please,” said the Doctor. “There is no need.” He walked over to her bed and pulled a sheet from it and handed it to Emmett. Emmett wrapped the sheet about Zen’s shoulders. “It appears you are feeling better. If you will, put on some clothes and come to the dining area so that we can have a little chat.”

The Doctor took his leave. He walked around the bamboo latticed divider that had not been there the last time Zen was awake. The Doctor’s fine Italian shoes clicked against the exposed concrete floors until he was well out of sight and treading on the area rugs. Zen watched him go. She realized that Emmett’s hands still rested protectively upon her shoulders. She pushed him hard and he fell into one of the bookcases.

“Get off of me!”

Emmett picked himself up. “Listen. I understand what you are feeling—” He sounded so proper, so condescending . . . so British.

Zen swung at his face. He ducked.

“I mean, I think I know . . .”

“Yeah? What the fuck am I feeling?” She swung again and caught him in the side of the head.

“Goddammit! Look here!” He said and grabbed her wrist as another punch flew at him. Twisting her arm, he pulled her naked body close to him. She clawed at him with her free hand. He caught that, too, and wrenched it behind her so that he was holding both her wrists at the small of her back. He held her restrained. They stood face to face. Her chest heaved against his. She felt his pulse quicken along with hers as she registered the feel of her naked body pressed against him and his god-damned wonderful scent. She felt his knuckles graze the top of her high butt.

His voice a husky whisper, he said, “I think – we think you may be something like me. And from how you are behaving, I believe we may be the same type of creature.”

Zen relaxed in his arms, forgetting her nakedness. “What the fuck are you, then?”

His eyes, smoky blue and savage, glared down at her. Zen squirmed in his arms. He held her fast. A bolt of fear streaked through her as she realized her vulnerable position. Emmett, whatever he was, could possibly surpass her in strength and ferocity. With blinding speed, he released her wrists and grabbed hold of her shoulders and drew her up until their eyes were level with each other.
