ROUND FIVE

Remi spent the ride back to Ames praying that the Orisa Ogun use his mighty cutlass to chop down the towering tree of rage that sprouted from her mind; to sever the roots that crept down her spine and throughout her nervous system. She knew that if she fought in another tournament she would lose herself; she would give in to the rage, to the impulse to destroy and she would end up just like Janine. She was not going to let that be her fate.

When the van parked in the transport bay at Ames, Remi was helped down from the van by Officer McCray and then he and Officer Dillard escorted Remi to the infirmary.

“Why are we here?” Remi inquired.

“Warden Hess wants you to have x-rays done to insure all is okay,” Officer Dillard replied. She also wants you to have a debriefing with Peggy.”

“Okay,” Remi said. “When will I get to see Eboni?”

“After our session,” a familiar voice came from her right flank.

Remi turned toward the voice. Peggy rolled toward her.

“Remi,” Peggy crooned. “Congratulations on your win!”

“Yeah, thanks,” Remi replied. “So, do I see you first, or do we meet after the x-rays?”

“We can meet now,” Peggy said, extending her hand toward Remi.

Remi stared at Peggy’s hand for a moment and then shook it. A moment later, she felt a sharp pain in her thigh. She looked down. Peggy had jammed a needle into her quadriceps. Officers Dillard and McCray grabbed her arms and shoved them behind her back. She felt the bite of handcuffs tightening around her wrists.

“Why?” Remi croaked.

“I have something to show you and I can’t have you freaking out in here when you see it,” Peggy said.

Remi’s legs buckled. The officers pulled up on her biceps to prevent her from falling.

Peggy turned away from Remi and began to roll away. “Bring her over here,” she said over her shoulder.

Officers Dillard and McCray walked Remi over to a gurney that a body lay upon. The body was covered with a white sheet.

“No,” Remi whispered. Her heart felt as if it was trying to punch its way out of her chest.

“It is important we start our discussion with transparency,” Peggy said, grabbing the edge of the sheet that covered whatever lay on the gurney. “So, all questions will be answered; all will be revealed. I only sedated you because your response can’t be predicted.”

Peggy snatched the sheet from over the body on the gurney.

Remi stared down at Eboni’s lifeless face. Her expression was peaceful. One corner of her mouth was upturned slightly. It was probably a sign she suffered a stroke, but knowing Eboni, it could have been her smirking as she said “I’m free, bastards, so screw you!”

Tears burst from beneath Remi’s eyelids and rushed and rained down her face. “The antivirus…what happened?”

“There was no antivirus,” Peggy replied. “There is no cure for however AMVO manifests in a patient. My apologies.”

“It was a lie!” Remi felt her rage pumping the sedative out of her veins.
