Chapter 6

Tina didn’t know what to think right now. Her mouth was sore and was going to need stitches, they told her. One of the officers told her she’d likely get both her eyes blackened. That didn’t sit well with her, so she asked for someone to go to her house and get her makeup. Of course, no one moved to do as she bid them.

When she asked why no one had come to her aid when she’d been abused, all of them, even people that weren’t in the room, said they’d seen nothing. That she’d fallen. Well, she was going to get to the bottom of this. Heads were going to roll, by God.

“All right, inmate. You sit right there, and we’ll fix you right up.” Tina never, when she had a choice, did what someone told her to do the first time. It was a source of pride for her to be argumentative whenever possible. Eita would have been so proud of— “We do this the easy way, which is you sitting in this chair, or I knock you out and stitch you up while you’re under. It’s no sweat off my back.”

“Your bedside manner is wonderful. I’m betting that is why you’re here putting stitches in people that have been abused.” She told her she was like her. “Doubtful. I’m a Wilkerson. I am well above anyone here. Most of the world, too, I would imagine.”

“I’m an inmate like you, dumbass. I killed my husband.” Tina jerked back from the woman so quickly that they both went to the floor. “What is it with you, bitch? You want someone to hurt you? Sit the fuck still, or so help me—”

“I’m not going to allow an inmate to touch me.” The woman was larger than Tina by a great deal, but it was a matter of principle now. No criminal was going to touch her. “Get a real doctor here right this minute. I’ll not allow— My son. He said he was some sort of doctor. Call him back in here to do this for me. It’s the least he can do since I’m not at home yet.”

“You’re not going to be going home either. You’re here for three lifetimes. You were told that several times. Also, you were told that no one from your family will come back here.” The woman laughed. “At least my family will come to see me. Every weekend, like clockwork.”

“They’ll have to come and get me.” At least Tina hoped so. A pinch to her arm was all the warning she got before she simply fell back on the floor. “Fucking bitch.”

When she woke up, she was tied to a bed by leather straps. Trying to lift her head made her sick, so she just closed her eyes and laid there. After what felt like forever, she started calling for someone to come and get her. Tina wasn’t used to being treated this way, damn it. She wanted to go home and be pampered.
