*****

Back in my cell, I lie on my bunk, thinking about what Ryan asked me.

Is he looking for the truth, or is he collecting evidence against me?

Has he manipulated me into condemning myself?

Have I bought myself time, or have I confessed to the murder of an entire town?

How much did you give him, Ketty? How much will it take to find you guilty of a war crime?

I push away thoughts of a firing squad platform. Of crowds, shouting. Of soldiers, taking aim, waiting for the order to execute me.

And I try not to think about spending the rest of my life in a cell like this.

Sixty years, Elizabeth said. Sixty years, with no way out.

I can feel myself choking. I can’t take a breath.

This is fear, Ketty. This is how it feels to be on the losing side.

Breathe. The worst hasn’t happened yet.

You’re still here.

Penny hangs her head over the top bunk.

“Nice outing, Ketty?” There’s cold smile on her face. “Drinks with the Major General, was it? Or did the guards need your coffee-making skills?”

I say nothing, staring at the bottom of her bunk, willing myself to breathe. She has no idea what I’m dealing with. How dangerous this is for me. What they could charge me with.

She shakes her head and holds her hands out, wrists together.

“The bracelets suit you. You should wear those more often.”

Careful, Ketty. She’s not worth it.

It takes all my effort to stay where I am, every muscle tensed, and not drag her off the top bunk by her hair.
