Chapter 27: Book of Kenzi 12

The light in the room was grey, she’d been out for some time then. The IV was now in her right hand, which, like its partner was tied to the bed. A device was pushed into her nose and the air flow through it was much more forceful than the little tubes that had been there previously. Her leg ached. She had a feeling the screw had been replaced and tightened. Her mouth was dry which she suspected was due to a combo of the air being forced through her respiratory system and whatever drugs they’d used to knock her out.

“I gotta get out of this place,” she muttered. Looking around the room for inspiration, Kenzi saw a new addition to the furnishings.

A figure sat in a chair against the wall. It was nothing more than an outline in the dusk of the lightless room. Male or female, she couldn’t tell, but either way, her visitor appeared to be sleeping.

A sitter? It was ridiculous—she certainly didn’t need anyone watching her. Maybe it was a cop waiting for her to wake up, afraid that if they put off the questioning any longer, they may never get any answers. Kenzi leaned over, trying to see any details. Besides a long, thin frame, all she could make out were the legs sprawled out straight in front of the chair and the head thrown back as if deep in sleep. This wasn’t the semi-conscious sleep of a bus ride or air plane; this person was dead to the world. Great job they were doing.

All this and her skin still itched, still begged to be opened, to let the anxiety spill out and leave her. On her side table, which had been pushed into the far corner of the room was a dinner tray and, on the tray, a plate. A plate meant solid food and solid food meant silverware.

She worked at her restraints, twisting her wrists first clockwise then counterclockwise but only managed to cause that same sissy-test burn the straw had caused.

“Ugh,” Kenzi huffed. It was useless.

“Were you a cutter before he gave you this?”

Lily was holding the rabbit’s foot up by its chain. Her baby bump was impossibly larger than the day before. She was standing beside the snoozing sitter somehow reading Kenzi’s mind.

“No. Can you undo these restraints?”

“I can do better than that. I want to get you out of here. I’m here to save you.” She stepped closer to the bed.

“What are you, Lilith?” Kenzi asked irritated. “Yes, I know who you are, I know all about you, but what are you here for? Sariel said you’re trying to get to me, that you need my help releasing your soul or something. But if that’s true, what does that make you: a demon or a ghost or what? And what makes you think I can help you?”

The restraints rubbed deep into her wrists as she rolled back and forth pulling at them. Her teeth clenched, and her lower jaw jutted out in frustration.
