After breakfast, Sarah went to the bathroom in the barracks house and as she headed toward the exit, Mary entered. In one arm, she carried a black and red flannel. She extended a hand, gesturing for Sarah to go into room number four.
Sarah stopped at the doorway.
Mary extended a folded flannel shirt and a pair of canvas gloves.
âWhatâs this?â
âYour work clothes,â Mary said, stepping forward to force Sarah into room number four.
Sarah stepped back, but then held her stance in the doorway. âIâm sorry. I appreciate you letting me stay here, but I have to go. Iâd like to get my car now.â
âWadeâs car.â Maryâs friendly demeanor diminished.
âI was heading to the womenâs retreat. You have to understand. I wasnât supposed to come here.â
âBut you did.â Her words cracked like a whip on the cold air. âAnd everyone that comes here, comes for a reason. You were sent to atone for your sins.â
âPlease,â she said, voice trembling. âI want to go.â
âTom!â Mary blocked the door frame so Sarah couldnât leave.
Eleanor passed by, looking up long enough to warn Sarah with a shake of her head. Her large round eyes were backlit with a sense of urgency.
A man well over six feet tall stormed down the hallway and filled the doorway.
âMy dear,â Mary said. âYou can leave once you pay off your debt for staying last night.â
âI have money,â Sarah said. âI can payââ
âYou have stolen money, you thief!â Maryâs sugar sweet voice dissolved into a snarl.
Tom took a step into her room. His chiseled face, scarred and deformed, scowled beneath a thick red beard.
âWhen your work is done, when your sins are atoned for, thatâs when you leave.â
âHow long does that take?â
âAs long as people need.â Mary gritted her teeth and then took a deep breath. âCome, dear. You donât want to make this difficult.â
Sarah took the flannel and gloves from Mary and closed her door behind them after they left.
