The pain finally subsides and when it does, Cameron sends his orderlies in to collect me. There’s not much fight left in me and I’m limp as they force me up. My legs wobble and if not for the men hooking their arms through mine, I’d collapse.

My sneakers drag on the ground as we make our way down a long hallway. “Have her fix Lara up. She’s of no use to me like this.”

No use to him. What use am I? What is Cameron really after? I wish I knew.

The orderlies take me through a locked door, into a small room lined with cabinets. Medical supplies. In the center are two hospital beds. One is already taken, but that person is rolled over toward the wall and I am unable to see their face.

“Strap her down.” The larger of the orderlies says as they toss me into the bed. Vomit rises in my mouth as they pin my arms to my side. My wrists and ankles are shoved into thick leather straps.

“She’ll be in to fix you up real soon. You lay there and don’t mutter a single word. If you do,” his lip curls as he gazes my body up and down, “we’ll get to know each other real well.”

I’m horrified at his words and it drowns my disdain for him. I bite my lip and hold my tongue. I count the seconds as they tick by until the door latches shut behind him. With a breath, I relax and that’s when I hear crying.

Crying. Coming from the other bed.

I glance over and see the person’s body is rocking back and forth as they sob. The frame is small, so I think it’s a woman. I wonder who she is and why she’s crying so hard.

“It’ll be okay.” I struggle to roll over, but can’t. Still, I keep my eyes on her.

A little girl’s voice responds through the darkness. “It won’t be okay.” Molly. It’s Molly’s voice. I’m surprised that Cameron would let us be together. Molly’s voice shakes as she glances over at me. It kills me to see her so scared, to see her hurt. Her face is bruised and burned on the side, probably from the electrical current they force her to endure, I don’t know for what reason.

“Molly,” my voice cracks, “Don’t give up. I’m going to get us out of here. I promise.” My words sound hollow. I’m not sure I even believe them. No matter what I do, where I go, I always seem to end up back here, one way or another.

I hate the tears that fill Molly’s eyes. “I just want to go home. Please, Lara, take me home.”

Home. One day here and already, the idea of home seems so farfetched. So distant.

“Where are we?” I whisper, “Do you know?”

“Nowhere,” Molly rolls over, ignoring me again, but her body still rocks back and forth, “We’re nowhere.” She sobs and I shush her as outside I hear the rush of footsteps. The door swings open.
