Chapter Twenty

They managed to clean out Finn’s shoulder with water from a tap that jutted out from the wall. Thankfully, the bullet appeared to have passed right thought. Sarah just hoped that there weren’t bits of cloth stuck in the wound that were at risk of festering. Boulder had somehow managed to keep his spare bandage, and they tied the fresh one around Finn’s shoulder. He had, thankfully, mostly stopped bleeding. Shortly after that Sarah fell asleep. She didn’t think that she would have been able to, but the second she closed her eyes she was out for the count. She slept so deeply that she didn’t even hear the door to their cell squeak open later that night. A hand roughly shook her awake. She jumped, letting out an embarrassing squeak.

“Get up.” It was the same officer who had stopped her from getting stomped on before.

She blinked, quickly waking up. She stood up and the man spun her around so that she was facing away from him. He snapped a set of handcuffs over her wrists, and then grabbed her by the arm, guiding her out of the cell. She glanced at the others over her shoulder. They were both still asleep, although she thought she saw Finn stir a little.

“Where are you taking her?” yelled Finn groggily as the cell door closed behind them.

The officer didn’t reply. He marched her out of the room and up two flights of stairs. She could still hear Finn yelling, although his words were now incoherent. The soldier’s fingers dug deeply into her arm. It was going to leave a bruise. Her breath came fast and heavy as her heart raced at a million miles an hour. Don’t freak out, she told herself, don’t freak out. The corridor they stepped into was carpeted. The walls were lined with pictures of distinguished military men and women. They halted outside a heavy door. The man rapped on it sharply three times and then pushed it open, dragging Sarah inside with him. The room they entered was large. On Sarah’s left were an open fireplace and a few lounge chairs. On her right, facing the fireplace, was a large desk. There were a number of bookshelves behind the desk. A middle-aged man sat there, engrossed in his work. He had a livid scar near his left eye, short dark hair, and dark eyes. He glanced up quickly, nodded to the middle of the room returned to his task.

“You may leave us, Lieutenant,” said the man behind the desk. The insignia on his uniform identified his rank as Captain.

“Sir,” said the Lieutenant. He walked forward, deposited the keys to her handcuffs on the Captain’s table, executed a salute and left, leaving Sarah standing alone, handcuffed and feeling exposed in the middle of the large room. The fireplace crackled and she jumped. She looked back at the Captain but he hadn’t shifted, his eyes still focused on whatever it was that he was reading. Sarah studied the rug she was standing on.
