Chapter 8

Once again, I woke up in a hospital bed—a trend I needed to change—but this time I was strapped down to it. I flexed my legs and arms, pulling on the restraints, but the drugs made me weak as a kitten. No matter. Even my full strength wouldn't have enabled me to break free.

My heart raced as panic gripped me. The sterile room offered no unique markings or identifying traits, just a sink, chair, bed, stool, and empty tray. Standard medical supplies lined the walls. Nothing helpful.

I instinctively reached for Drake.

And I reached too hard. 'Sam!' His voice filled my head, crushing my mind with the volume.

"Ouch! Shhhh… don't shout. My head is already pounding."

'I'm not shouting.'

I tried dialing down my link to him, imagining it like a volume control; now that the speakers lay closer, I didn't need the volume so high.

'Are you okay?' His voice stopped splitting my skull.

"Yes. We must be really close for this to happen."

'Show me your room,' we both said at the same time, and laughed.

Our rooms were identical, but that didn't mean much. We could still be too far apart to plan our escape.

The nurse came in, and—

'That's her, my nurse!' Drake said. 'You must be in the right place.'

I forced myself not to smile.

"Oh, you're awake!" She looked so startled. How long had they expected me to stay asleep?

"How long have I been unconscious?" I asked Drake.

'Since yesterday.'

I'd rarely been out for longer. No wonder it felt like something furry had taken up residence on my teeth. What would all these drugs do to the baby? I forced myself not to cover my stomach in reflex.

Best to act ignorant for now, see what I can find out. "I'm supposed to be in New York. What happened?"

If her nervousness was any indication, she wouldn't tell me the truth, at least not out loud. "Oh, I think it's best if I get Dr. Pana. He can explain everything." She looked barely old enough to drink legally. At 5'0" with dark blond pigtails and freckles under her green eyes, even I looked tall and grown up compared to her. Did adults even wear pigtails? Where did they get this kid?

'I hope I don't get in trouble… she shouldn't have woken up… I hate this job… but the money… need the money… hope Mom and Nick are okay… can't afford to get in trouble again… hate keeping these kids here like animals… not right but what can I do… if only I'd never met these creeps… and getting her pregnant… so awful… wonder what the baby will be like… it's growing too fast… but the dad is totally hot… oh God… I need to stop thinking around her… but no… the drugs should keep her out of my head….'

Hmmm, maybe she would be an ally. Might she help us?

'Can't stand being around these freaks… feel bad for them but they creep me out… no one should be able to do what they can do… not
