ELEVEN

Doctor Patten stood in the doorway and watched the girl as she just sat there. It seemed to her that she hadn't moved so much as a muscle since she had been seated down in front of the heater what was a couple of hours ago now. She still had her hands placed in her lap, gazing off towards the far wall as if she were looking through the prefabricated concrete and steel structure to something far beyond. Perhaps to a happier, safer place far away from the horrors she had seen here on Widow's Bay.

Suzy Munro gently pushed past her and came into the room. She was carrying a mug of hot chocolate in hopes of tempting the girl back to the here and now. Patten came into the room after her and closed the door behind her. Now she was in the room she felt just how hot it had become thanks to the heater that had been quietly blasting away all this time.

Suzy placed the mug down on to a small coffee table set just next to where the girl was sitting and then got down onto her knees. "Hi, my name's W.P.C Munro, Suzy." She motioned across to Patten who turned off the heater. She found the atmosphere in the room oppressive, which she took as being due to the heat. Then the doctor moved over to stand next to Munro. "This is Doctor Patten, Rachel." She studied the girl's face but it didn't register so much as a flicker of recognition.

"We're here to help," Rachel said. "Could you tell us your name?"

Nothing.

Rachel could see Suzy biting her lip as she concentrated on the girl's blank expression, looking for any sign they were getting through to her. "It must have been awful," she said with genuine compassion. "Seeing what you saw out there."

The girl flinched ever so slightly. It was a barely noticeable twitch and one Rachel might well have thought he imagined if Suzy hadn't glanced up at her. They waited for any further response but there was nothing.

Suzy sighed and nodded to the mug on the table. "I've brought you a mug of hot chocolate. Lots of sugar." She picked up the mug and gently raised it to the girl's lips. She tipped it slightly and the girl took the smallest of sips but still her face was an indecipherable mask.

At least that was something, Rachel thought and knelt next to Suzy. She took her pen light out of her pocket. "Hi, I'm just going to shine this into your eyes again if that's okay?" She hadn't been expecting a response and got none. She shone the light first into her right eye, then the left. "Pupils responding normally," she said.

"No sign of physical trauma," Suzy said looking the girl over. "Are you in any pain, miss?" She asked.

Rachel motioned to the dried blood on her blouse. "The blood's not hers." She tapped her own temple. "I'd say it's all in here," she added in a whisper.
