14 – SARA

Sara knocked on our mental door as I stood at the window. No doubt my surge of panic had alerted her to new events unfolding.

I unlocked our connection just as the door to my room opened and Private Neary carried in food. He set the tray on the dresser and retreated before I could open my mouth to ask the million questions that wanted to barrel through. The sound of a bolt sliding into place followed.

Scents of the meal drifted my way just as Sara asked, Meghan? Can you talk now?

Despite nervous energy churning in my stomach, I grabbed the tray and dug into the food. It had to be close to ten at night, and I was ravenous from hiking in the cold. Yes. I can talk now. They’ve locked me in a room. It seems I’ll be spending the night here.

The meal was simple but nutritious. Chicken, boiled potatoes, and carrots. I inhaled it. As soon as I finished, I kicked off the heavy boots, peeled off the snow pants, and crawled onto the bed.

Sara’s worry and curiosity strummed into me. Where are you? And can you please tell me now what the heck is going on?

Leaning against the wall, I tried to get as comfortable as I could with my back propped against concrete. I’m in a locked room in a barrack, and there’s so much to tell you. I’m not sure where to start.

A locked barrack? So they took you to where the other Kazzies are kept. But how are you here?

Cold from the concrete seeped through my shirt, so I sat forward. I broke into the reservation.

You broke in?

I winced at her screech. Yeah, I had to break in. It was the only way since they closed the gates to visitors.

Why did you do that? And how did you manage it? And who was that guy you were with?

Tucking my feet underneath me, I summed everything up as best I could. I know what’s been happening here, how they’ve been treating all of you – that’s why I broke in since they wouldn’t let us in through the gates. I felt like I had no choice. I needed to find you to re-establish our connection so I could really know how you’re all doing. And that guy you saw is Ian – long story there. We got split up when I was caught, so now I’m locked in some room. I’m not sure where he is.

Oh Meghan… If you’ve been caught and are locked up now…

I know, trust me, I know. It was stupid, but I don’t regret it. It was the only way to find you.

But… Her pain strummed into me. You said you were moving on from us. If you’re not, why did you cut us out of your life in the first place? If you hadn’t, our connection wouldn’t have broken, and you wouldn’t have had to break-in. And now you’re probably in a world of trouble, which could have all been avoided if you’d never left us.
