SIN

I heard voices in the hall, so I tiptoed over to the door and tried to listen to what was being said. I’d spent the night in a tiny room on a lumpy mattress, and I was walking around in a pair of slides that were three sizes too big wearing the most hideous and uncomfortable clothes I’d ever put on my body.

They put me in jailhouse orange and were holding me against my will even though they insisted I wasn’t being charged with a crime. I’d eavesdrop if I fucking wanted. They were lucky I didn’t have access to a nail file, or I’d be sawing my way through the microscopic window.

I didn’t know much about the law, but I knew enough to be certain that they couldn’t keep me here forever. I thought it might be 72 hours, which was 72 hours too fucking long, but if that was the case, then I only had 36 hours to go. Maybe. Time was hard to track here.

But I was really unsure if the law was different since I’d been taken in by federal agents. My father’s rants and sermons about the ‘evil feds’ were echoing through my head, and I wondered if he’d been right. What if they could just cart me away and make me disappear? Did they have to abide by the 72-hour rule?

They’d taken me from the hospital yesterday morning and questioned me all day and well into the night. They’d send someone in to talk for a while, then leave me to freeze in a cinderblock room with no windows for what seemed like hours before a different person would come in and do the same thing. At some point late last night, they’d taken me down a long hallway outside into the dark and put me into the back of a black SUV. It hadn’t taken long, and the driver hadn’t said a word during the trip, but soon, we were at my next destination, this one a large institutional-looking building somewhere up the mountain. I only knew that because I could see the lights of town below us before they rushed me into the building.

I’d been ushered into this room, thinking at first that it was another interrogation room, then lost my shit when I saw the bed, toilet, and sink. I’d asked the woman who brought me these clothes and a plastic-wrapped sandwich where I was and why they were holding me, but she hadn’t even acknowledged she’d heard me before she walked out without a word.

“Who can hear me?” I heard Fain’s voice say from out in the hall.

“I’m in here,” I yelled before I started banging on the door. “Get me out!”

“I would if I could, Sinnie, but they’d frown on that,” Fain yelled back.

I heard banging and then my sister yelled, “Bring me some utensils, motherfucker!”

I couldn’t help but laugh because even in this situation, Freya had her standards. I looked down at my hands and sighed. The urge to pick at my fingernails was almost overwhelming, but I’d been doing so well lately.
