Chapter Eleven

When she arrived on level six, her card didn’t work for the ward. Holding in a sigh, Margaret was about to press a button for help when the door for Ward C opened and the guard from the day before emerged.

“Hi. My card isn’t working,” she said, gesturing to the locked portal.

“Your card was probably reprogrammed.”

“Have I been reassigned?”

“No, but the patient has been moved,” the guard said.

“Moved? Where?” And why had no one had said anything to her?

“If you’ll follow me.” The soldier led the way through the door he’d emerged from, down a long hall. At the end, another locked door, which the guard opened, leading them into a large antechamber with another pair of guards. All armed.

She moved toward the next door, but the guard held up his hand. “A moment, please, ma’am.” The door they’d just passed through closed and locked before the man stepped aside.

“You may now proceed.”

How gracious of him—not. She found herself curious about the changes. “Since when does Luke require so many guards?”

“It’s because of the new room.”

“Is there something wrong with it?” Wrong enough it required extra security?

“The chamber itself is secure enough. We’re here as a precaution given Dr. Chimera left orders that you could remove his restraints if you feel it’s appropriate.”

“I get to decide?” It seemed a no-brainer. Free him. Until she reminded herself that the dream Luke she kept kissing wasn’t the real one. The real Luke was dangerous. She just had to look at the guards dispatched for one man to realize it.

“If you’re ready to enter?” The guard inclined his head.

Ready and not ready, if that made any sense. It didn’t. Just like the sense of anticipation confused. Her vivid dreams were bleeding into her reality, making her feel things that weren’t real.

She focused on the here and now. “Why does Dr. Chimera want me to release him?”

The guard shrugged. “He doesn’t explain his decisions. I am just the messenger.”

A messenger that advised her that she held Luke’s freedom in her hands. For a moment, she debated turning on her heel and marching to Chimera’s office to ask more questions. Such as, why her? Why not Luke’s doctors or the guards themselves? Why leave her with the choice to release him or not? She didn’t want that power.

Margaret approached the door and frowned as she noted it took two guards, each with a hand on opposite scanners, to unlock it. The third stood behind her, and while she didn’t peek, she would wager he had his hand on his gun again.

A glance to either side showed the guards with fingers resting on the grips of their weapons.

Ridiculous precaution, given the fact, when she entered, she noticed Luke strapped to a new bed, one made of concrete that molded into the floor. He was immobile, and yet they were all so scared.

Again, why? She wished someone would tell her what to expect.

Luke didn’t say anything as she entered. Did he sleep? More like he faked it again.
