You can go and see your mummy soon.
Beneath the covers of her bed, Shania read the note again. Tears fell. That lovely little girl was going to save her somehow. She ripped the note up, like sheâd done with all the others. Scrunching the pieces into her fist, she went into the bathroom, shut the door, and flushed the bits down the toilet. She hoped this room didnât have any cameras, but if it did, sheâd have been questioned about the letters already, wouldnât she? They wouldnât still send Anna down if they knew they were communicating. Did that mean the cameras didnât record the footage? That gave her a measure of relief. The idea that the sex games had been stored somewhere had given her a dose of shame to contend with.
When David had first spoken to her through the hidden speakers, his disembodied voice had shit the life out of her. Heâd told her the rules, how sheâd be hurt if she tried to escape, how theyâd go after her mother. While Mum wasnât the best, Shania still loved her, and she had to keep her safe. Sheâd endured their depraved sexual kinks, had fought them like David had demanded. The only thing she hadnât done was get pregnant. Maybe she couldnât. Theyâd revealed their use for her two months after leaving her down here with minimal personal visits. Theyâd conversed through the speakers, and oddly, even though she loathed them, sheâd come to look forward to the human contact.
Mum would have reported her missing by now. Were the police out there, searching for her? She imagined them poking in hedgerows and scouting grass verges. Coppers on doorsteps, asking questions. No one would know she was here unless theyâd seen her walking down the street, but it hadnât struck her as the kind of estate where folks nosed out of their windows. Posh nobs were private, werenât they, and didnât involve themselves in other peopleâs business.
But what if the police had come here? What if, by some stroke of luck, someone had seen her arriving on the Friday and Saturday nights? Shaniaâs shoulders slumped. David and Valandra were so sophisticated and believable theyâd have no trouble convincing a police officer that they hadnât seen her. Look how sheâd fallen for their charms. How sheâd thought sheâd landed on her feet with this job, the couple too nice for words.
She collected the tampons, showered, then returned to the bedroom, getting dressed. She put her nightie and other washing in the machine, making it look like sheâd obeyed Valandra. She made the bed and read for a while.
She all but jumped out of her skin when Anna appeared at the bedroom door.
âMummyâs gone to the shops.â
Fear pervaded Shaniaâs whole body. âYou shouldnât be down here. Donât let her catch you. Go. Hurry up! Go!â
Anna left.
But she didnât lock the door.
