Jess drags herself into work next week after a weekend spent in hospital, still with the knee brace. It's not broken, but still really fucked up. Now she has a hospital bill to pay off as this is one not being footed by Maggie. Last time was a rare gesture from a millionaire and she'll never get that lucky again.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFOu97Df4C

"Seriously? Do you have no life outside work? You could have stayed at home, you didn't have to come in." Bella says, standing right at the sign in booths.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkwKVcEMpu
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKQanmH0LS
"Nope. And I have to, rent and medical bills."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOwDQcvP43
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTfhYQRY0z
"Okay... Anyway, Maggie and Anna wants to see you before shift start in that case. Main floor out here is still setting up the androids, toddler play zone, go karts, etc."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxL3LdfZlx
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa8LdUSxEO
"Lead the way then." 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD38oDqTgL
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKaebgfExO
As they walk past heading to the elevator to the security office, she looks over at the medical tent. Just Brianna is present, she's setting up alone. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRQMEjE5TE
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO66Wxnil3
"Where's Adam?" She whispers to Bella. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjlUvaFNC0
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76kh4u3ofM
"He quit that afrernoon we sent you to the hospital. His going back to work for emergency services out on the street."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMUsSYgM5b
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGKz4Qpuxs
"Wait, is Brianna a private paramdeic too?"122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTkVMU7LdF
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9ope35jRs
"She is. Following in mothers footsteps and all that, that last part being fairly loose though, give or take."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsvzRmqyG7
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MUIAQCItt
"Who was her mother?"122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA26kbc300
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VRBdlqjXg
And Bella stops, turning to look at Jess. "Forget I said anything, I'm sorry."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Oz15r1Im0
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPTFFQUqCj
And then they continue on. Her co-workers have secrets like she does. They arrive upstsirs, seeing Maggie talking to people, Anna not present. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEHekniaKc
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBLKF3J8t3
"Maggie-" Bella begins, Jess cutting her off. "First of all, I just want to say I am not shooting up drugs. I have never touched drugs and if you want to fire me, go ahead. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx2RyzFPd7
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhLwD9lr5s
Heck, I'll quit right now myself. I'm problematic, dragging drama to work with me. I sware I'm not doing it on purpose and I actually have no real intention of getting to know any of my co-workers. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDTUxvxkYm
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapJxKlK1Xh
I'm only here because I need a job to eat and pay my bills and that's it."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIPJz7NnN9
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhbJSZ4AHu
Maggie stops talking mid setence hearing what was just said. "Oh..." Bella whispers, looking to the side, her hair falling and covering her face.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazlzdAyxaY
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcu5rMfRMt
Maggie turns around and takes a seat, leaning on one of the desks. "Jesse-"122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmQSOZW0pD
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLnGBiF5PL
"I prefer Jess."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78gFb35pAG
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEP3y0QsT6
"You're right, I'm sorry. I don't know you all that well. Jess, when my now dead and ex-husband murdered my children, 1 girl and four boys it tore me apart, I was an emotional wreck for years. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWExaWDJXY
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAxmw8xd7A
I met him in University and dropped out as we fell pregnant, we married and I got pregnant several times after that. I stayed home living the home house wife life, he graduated and was also the bread winner, we we're rich, had a mansion and then he killed them and himself. He had been a tad abusive to me, but I never thought he was capable of murder.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YZVAjiiDB
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjueQPwk0j
Fast forward a few years, I'm slowly picking myself up after grieving, I now run this place, it's not what I want to do forever, but there was alot of fines and debts that need paying, and I could only ignore them so long, I'm also in the position where I'm fucking loaded from the insurance payouts and that this fun centre is actually profitable, I sold the mansion and don't live there. It wasn't in complete disrepair, well, it kind of was. Give or take that, I still sold the plot of land it was on which was hundreds of acres.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd7we1oFW3
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQYLMtcNHr
I fix this place up fully, pay off every fine and debt, have a full rotating roster for every department and I'm going to sell this bussiness to somebody else on the condition of they can't fire anybody in the first 12 months, they will sign a legally binding contract, I have a team of lawyers.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgUcv6lV9z
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHATWFaX22k
Every employee here is fully aware of that fact, I just not had told you yet and I'm sorry. Then I am packing my bags and jet setting for France, I will be leaving the country."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn8ceFuF4w
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDJgTr9h9C
"Okay? So, how does-"122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgbjbkJPPy
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzYhYwL8PJ
"What I'm trying to tell you is what kind of boss am I let alone a human being if I am having no fucking empathy, compassion, understanding what so ever for other people? You aren't going to be fired by me unless you do something as bad as the ones who locked you in the android warehouse first shift, that's an immediate dissmial. And the county for this area fined me for that, laying out heating was a regulation in warehouses overnight even if they are not made for humans as accidents like yours happen.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxeHSCb0m5
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty7i3AqpFw
I could have accidentally killed you, Jess. The county keeps a very close eyes on this place, there is constant reviews and other sectors sticking their nose in."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLPIqoP65u
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPkPYa5JeD
"Sectors?"122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG52twzC6JD

"Maggie, before I bought a one way ticket here... where I came from, it was a city without automation. Well, it wasn't without automation, it didn't reject innovation, but androids we're banned... "122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MoX0FTdS2
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0ZrONj4Ks
"Wait, this is your first time seeing androids?" Maggie starts laughing. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kQuwgv6dX
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZsBpctaza
"Yeah! Well, I saw them online... but never up close till now." Jess cries a little. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFKQQ1NlcI
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKUsERFFoj
"Damn, so what do you really think of them?!"122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXYWw96BVO
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GXKpYJdrQ

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF433jrKD9

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ9RjSRnWw
"So, what is your dream? Because it's not this place."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA14cQQHALE

"Fashion designer." And Maggie holds a magazine out to Jess. Maggie's on the cover wearing a goregous sparkly jumpsuit.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsH3K5g8i4
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6a4jpSUZy
"Is that yours? Did you design it?" Just a few months ago, she could have afforded that jumpsuit there, hefty price-tag not mattering.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYXPIZjsqq
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ84yPuz6y
"Yes, I did. I dabble in it, but most of my time is eaten up by this place. Looking forward to when I can offically leave it all behind and pursue what I want to really do."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95dlnaBQN7
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuchbqteQtm
"Where do you live now if it's not... your mansion..."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCBakx49UO
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxakd3Kn5U
"I rent a two bedroom apartment in a high rise overlooking the beach. It's still in the swanky part of the city. Get this, my neighbor is a Doctor as well. She co-developed the treatment for Hanahaki Disease. She moved in just last month. Crazy, I'm surrounded by bloody doctors." Maggie laughs.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP69oqLrNQ
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6aMxEUcq9
"Who else is a Doctor around you? And what is Hanahaki?"122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCrl8U8wDz
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv13WwNDR80
"Me. I'm a Psychatrist, but I'm still a Doctor, Jesse." Says an unknown voice, turning around to see it's Anna. "And if you're lucky, you will never find out what Hanahaki is. It's brutual, but you could search it up later online I guess..."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBGhpD5bKj
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpuYICSzjV
"But not on company time." Maggie laughs. "I'm sorry, Jess. But I need to be actually running, I'm supposed to be in a group call soon. Uh, so, please don't quit... Bella will give you your tasks for today, you're on office duty, I can't have you on the floor with your leg still injured... Now, I have to run." And Maggie leaves.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4DNUVJ26h
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTF8Z8OHGC
"Jesse, so you know, I'm not here to make the employees of Maggie's lives worse or snitch on you all. I'm here to help, but it's not just you all. It's Maggie too... She has never been the greatest at dealing with people and that's where I come in."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUUQH1Qhus

"The Hospital. And I'm still checking in on patients there and outpatient, but I have signed on for a few months here during the day. I'm just removing the working nights aspect at the hospital, they can employee somebody else for that.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWKEUMsniq

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtopqIPDKlR
"That's okay, you can take some time to come around to the idea. You're not under any community based treatment order. I have an office near Maggie's if you want to talk." And Anna leaves. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNLsL6RzaN
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11l5Y8uHPe
"She does not seem like an annoying corporate-" Jess begins. 'No, she does not." Bella responds. Anyway, let me get you set up at a computer. Also, we reviewed the security footage, saw what Ren did. She has been discplined, but we have also talked to Jamie. Though I think it when in one ear and out the other for Jamie, she doesn't want to go to school, would prefer to hang out here and bring... her baby sister with it. There has to be something going on with her parents if her baby sister's not in childcare arrangement and at school for Jamie."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18PXkLuWIf
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpms9HbMRu7
"And why can't we dob her into police?"122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngW3cK5FrC
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUeVOOkq1b
"The law doesn't allow us. If a Truancy Officer wishes to check the funpark, turning up on their own accord, we have to let them in. Jamie and even her friends will get caught eventually anyway so let's just try and ignore her for now, she is paying money ontop of her season pass every single day... It helps pay our wages."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb9xEEI1lm

"That's how teenagers dress, Jess. It's called Scene."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzvKsklpsf
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ww1bg68DF
Jess looks at her like she's crazy. "What did you wear?" Bella asks her. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGal9fqx6p
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQndb4QKYAM
"Pink stripes and pink polka dots and lots of bows and sparkles..."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82leDLgdFw
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqy6KOyxdl
"Farm wear, and hand me downs."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ounKVc5IH

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKX4NQqz3X
The day passes pretty uneventfully, has to stop during the day to take some pain meds and soon enough the day draws to a close. Just like clockworse, a text is recieved, Douglas.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRkutSvpgE
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ1BevrgLx
Douglas: Come outside, corner of the building, don't be noticed by Bella, enter the blind spot.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVUVKVtmsi
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD58Km5DID
Jess: I have a leg brace on, my knee is still really fucked up from running from you. If you're going to grab me or whatever, just take it easy on my knee, please.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWCwPQ6Nqs
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydYDrcQSOq
Douglas: Fucking get your ass outside, or Bailey is coming in in the next five minutes and dragging you out.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIMKxDZLH4
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSVwaDNBgY
Jess: He wouldn't infront of everyone else.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrwV0EFB1i
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXfV86gm0M
Douglas: Distracting Maggie is not that hard. I can have Green call her phone and waste her time. Everyone else? They won't overly give a shit about you. You have five minutes.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf9P6KOCip
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61k4vKRjJq
She puts her phone down, sighing, collects her stuff and signs out. Bella has nothing to debrief anyone on. Heading out to around the side of the building, she sees Douglas classic green car waiting right in the back in the shadows. She can see some damage down down the side, but for the most part it looks cosmetic and they buffed most of it out. Douglas is hanging out in the drivers seat, but Bailey and Green are waiting outside. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxyUNdKVhs
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEQEFqmOsn
"Seems it wasn't written off then." 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCOWZSrlBx
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtxwVWwDUJ
They all look at her. "Thanks to you, the airbags don't work now and I'm going to have to look into a 3rd party work around option." Douglas moans, not getting out of the car. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSeTzXdWzN
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyVGwrUvcI
"Come on, girly. Bag." Bailey says, holding his hand out gesturing for Jess bag which she hands over, him throwing it to Douglas through the window. He then takes her arm, Green taking her other and they force her into the backseat, mindful of her injured leg. Bailey does her seatbelt, but they don't let go of her arms the whole drive, taking back roads and other places.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFYSWmTSxW
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8RHp4bWM7
"Where are we going?" She asks, which earns no reply. "Are you going to kill me?" Which finally elicts a response. "No, I'm not going to kill you. You're more my informer on the inside. Make to much trouble though, and I will kill you then and find someone else.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQvORBuJ1L

"I don't believe you." Douglas snaps back, Jess getting a little heated and tries to pull her arms to no resistence. "You do that again, and I will sedate you." Bailey finally speaks.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3slNofnbr
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF56TxtHuZ

"The previous street racing party I attended. It wasn't the one you we're briefly at. I seriously can't fucking believe you pulled that stunt last time, you little bitch.

Yelling ensuing.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwFgBc73QZ
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9LGQjAzH7
"I fucking change my mind, sedate me." She whispers. "Me too, Jess. But I need to drive the car." Douglas whispers back a little, a small smile and trying not to laugh.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWva1zUIux
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mVvZd8898
They pull up to what looks like an abandoned building and the definition of sketch. "Is this where you took me the first time you-"122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QpBeMxUCY
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbTGL6EMKx
"No, that actually was the secret bunker under my home. I've enlisted the services of others from now on, and I think this will be more fitting."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygtnMEn0LQ
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjpBvXigM2
And Jess is helped out the car, dragged inside. Douglas stands to the side as Bailey puts in a pin on the keypad, pushing open then door, walking in and Green carries Jess in by the waist, lifting her feet off the ground, Douglas following behind and closing the door.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3yxPLo2uH
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrJDGihGCJ
Seems bitch work is now below him. She sees a kitchen off to the side and someone else is present. "Hey. You guys want Coffee?" And they come out into the open. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3zzlRSpfj
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMmzAkRF0Y
"Brianna?" She says out loud, but then realizes it isn't her. This woman is much older and sighs. "You gotta be kidding, come on! No, that's my daughter. I'm her mother not that she calls me that. The state took her into care when she was little and I never really got her back. She hates me. Now, who wants Coffee?"122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWp9KMFCOX
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Eao7fmn87
"All of us, Bon Bon. We'll be in the other room." Bailey says, gesturing for Green with her to follow, Douglas trailing after them. They enter a room off to the side down a corridor, it's a small bedroom with only a double bed and a built in wardrobe 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9izlsDee7H
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjDYi9Eg6x
She sees on the bed, ropes already attached to the headboard and base. "No! No, no!" She yells, struggling and Green only takes her closer, Bailey assisting. They throw her against the mattress, tying up her arms and then her feet and one across her waist for good measure. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLZ0gQKPeO
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NqhOg6c26
"Douglas! Douglas!" She yells, but he turns away and ignores her, walking out. Bailey and Green get off her and walk out as well, switching off the light and it all goes dark, hearing the door click, someone locking it. She's trapped in this room in the dark as it's boarded up, and tied to the bed for the next few hours. She can yell and scream as much as she wants, but they all ignore her, no one coming in. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6XX90hXTW
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJDYt4b2C2
She nods in and out of sleep, unaware how long it's been and barely registering someone unlocking the door and coming in, closing it behind them. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJCGP9WMiE
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS2zVpK6SG
"Jesse, Jess, wake up." They call, applying pressure to her shoulder, giving it a little shake. She opens her eyes and they take a seat beside her on the bed. "Here's how it's going to be. You're going to pull your act together and start really doing what I want or I am going to make your life a living hell and you can expect this room to be the last thing you see. You've got the weekend to make your choice, no one will be looking for you. I texted Bella from your phone and that your leg was killing you and you now no longer have a shift. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTczL61dYUL

"You won't be alone, the others are still here. Be good, see you Monday." And he walks out, locking the door again. She screams, straining after he leaves and her limbs start to burn, causing her to stop.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD4v2461et
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRLxHlkD9k
Time passes and when she next wakes up, she doesn't know what day it is. Is it still today or is that yesterday now. She then realizes she's not alone.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWPbGT0T93

"No, I'm a Surgeon actually. But give or take that, my daughter still chose a similar proffesion. She's doing it because she wants to show she's a good person and better at helping people compared to me."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVFDOaBg0e
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzqR1MOEHl
"What's your name?"122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxoPNcVzxU
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6Nxo09Yg0
"Maeve. It used to be Bonnie, why Bailey here called me Bon Bon when you first walked in."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1bggphmy9
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQiwlDouFl
"We can drop the last names charade now, I think Jesse. We're the ones in charge here, Douglas hired us for a reason." Bailey speaks up. "And I'm Johnthan. Behind me, Bobby. The cop you ran into used to be his fiance actually."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK7YPdWTzF
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d2dycYUMj
"She's a detective, and don't call me, Jesse! It's Jess."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tHz3pteFm
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu6Ewrs3l1
"Whatever." Bobby snaps.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8CQTYDlQg
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2upqOn8ni
"You hungry, Jess?" Maeve asks. She shakes her head no. "Who are you guys?" She asks.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNZ8xAiwnR
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTcokcHmZG
"We belonged to a former human trafficking ring. It was dismantled, but there is still a few of us so I suggest you don't push us. I'm in charge now. Douglas has given permission for us to hurt you if needed. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGajGX1yb0e
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEIZBnsUUQ
We still take contracts on from people like him." Johnthan tells her.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXz1sF7K2z
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M5OA7OKOG
She doesn't know what to say, this is serious. She sinks into the bed, wanting this hell to be over. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSGEnvA4vp
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkabbWUYh4
"Seems like you're learning your lesson as we speak." He adds on, leaving and gestures the others to follow. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoUY0HLYJj
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4EVcixvJL
Hours pass and she lays in the dark, awake unable to fall back to sleep and her limbs are aching from being tied in the same position for hours on end when she hears her door open, someone coming in. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNUT5YM1dz
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvgktcvl7m
It's Bobby and he closes the door behind him, taking a seat beside her on the bed, inching closer.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWfWT6Js1A
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNwaxL2Ovb
"You awake, Jesse?"122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2UWihG4go
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KQH6CTiaP
She ignores him and he peers over, looking at her face. "Yeah, you're awake. You hungry now?"122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Bmr1llCEm
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvonNsw30h
She shakes her head no, not giving him any of her voice. He doesn't deserve it. "Uh, okay then. Well, don't starve yourself too long or Johnthan will have Maeve insert a feeding tube. Bringing you here was to make you obey Douglas, you dying isn't the plan here really...122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0bpDBWiKe
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5I8iUI185
So, uh, what do you think of Clara? She used to be my girlfriend, I was going to marry her... but uh, my life has really gone to shit since then. That was a long time ago now. Everyone around me ended up having kids and they are all grown up now, most of them are your colleagues suprisingly.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR1F5vwVK9
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS47ENeK5kp
"Are their parents still-"122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjunjkAGtlx
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjGyWTVxqg
"Not all of them are apart of us anymore. We either went to jail, a mental hospital, deported and jailed I heard and then they either got out and lived normal lives, got married, had kids, worked legal jobs... or they ended up like me. Alone, and went back to a life of crime. This is the only life I know, I was in university before, but got kicked out and no one would employee me."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAapxQzMzEg

"A human trafficking company, we we're called Ring. I still have my ring actually." And he shows it off, a snake biting it's tail in a circle around his finger.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5JHsjdGts
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkeWcl8wHU
"Very symbolic..."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV48zjrnVku
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcctpYtYKV
"Thank you." He smiles. "Uh, so my ex, Clara. Do you like her?"122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDDZsVtxxv
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDLMbQD4U2
"Not really, I don't want to see her again. Somehow I have a feeling she isn't going to leave me alone. They're onto me now the police.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnbBBQEKxj
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspRCVuLhVV
A few weeks back... the Hospital called me after my discharge. Said my blood results indicated I had Merge in my system, they had to expand the testing range as it they weren't looking for it at first as it's a black market drug.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8wcQtQuMN
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35uc81ZnUt
It's an offense to carry here, but not if it's in your system. It still gets reported to the police though, but there was nothing they could do. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0KaXKuFY8
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhwKIEmZC9
They already know who I am and some stuff about me and when I was running from you all, and Clara hit me minorly, she inspected my neck. I was unconsciousness for a minute. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fgb9u2GsE
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZJIDdzlGR
People who shoot up, do it in their arms, not their neck. She would have reported that and later discovered my drug report from the hospital. When she came to check up on me supposedly work, I think she already knew about the Merge."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IJOrzirIV
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG3Te1R93p
"Okay. Well, try and her dismiss her as much as you can, okay? She'll come back, she is a very determined person. She never took no for an answer. She used to be a police officer before, we lived in Canada.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE07PE7y62
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOngSgxN9oJ
I'm suprised she's a detective now, I didn't know. But hey, as long as she's happy I guess..."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2YMZFaF4Q
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO4mZVOiuC
She nods slowly. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxszgfkDAMB
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcJqMok06b
"Jesse-"122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CGO1YNUtb

"Why?"122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfiY3ZJn7x
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSwiE45rB6
"Because I and my life is meaningless."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA9ICBfYBT

"Why do you think that? Did someone tell you that?"122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNcMCPJZXI
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmUXCnMnKZ
She doesn't say anything. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7IsO7oUQY

"Can you leave?"122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcTXY374U8
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJdZGgle5Y

"And how would you know, I might like the silence."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPmHqHsyRC
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQvXY9uEkP

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Czl195l8L
It is boring, and you're lying to me."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHnooGq9km
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FMgFBQuJ3
"Please leave."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFquq37ae0p
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUSDV68GkH
"Jess, you're not listening to me. I'm trying to ask..."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobu83OZ6BN
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfT5e9dsfh
"Ask me what?"122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSJG4vW3P7
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHO0sbgwKj
"I haven't been with another women in a long time."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl2yVmQnRK
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh50ya4WO0b
"You want me to be your girlfriend is that it?"122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozdJusl82W
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPIa5kX1NN
"No! Well, no. Relationships happen later."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxElu8WDpez

"So you want sex, Mr Drunk."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy1BUvtI4g
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5nQGESyvg
"No-" And he slaps his hand to his face, embarassed.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuoVgxbIim
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lPAwx1MJl
"I'm not stupid, Bobby. I had an ex-boyfriend before moving here. Douglas knows my base story. My ex was my fiance to and his sex drive was high. If you want to have sex with me, just come out and say it. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSLX0EgzfA
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdA8bnm3Jw
But I won't be your girlfriend. Not at this point."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArkMsXcOoa
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNofA6bAQqZ
His quiet and looks at her. "Bobby?" She says, calling his name. He crawls ontop of her slowly, feeling his hand trailing up her stomach towards under shirt and his other hand creeps down to just below her pants, resting right underneath where it lays.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF7f0ADv0s
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9APgexjpa6
She squirms, pushing her legs together trying to push his hand away and his lips touch hers, tongue inserted, feeling his hand on her chest give a good squeeze and then a good rub. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVrPdzGPJp
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT61iLVDPD
His fingers rubbing just on the outside below to stimulate. "Mmm! Stmp!" She tries, but can't say anything with his tongue in her mouth. He pulls her pants down, shoving three fingers in. She bites his tongue and lips, him screaming in pain and jumps back. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lCHBmlGOT
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCQRqdsBdA
"Johnthan! Maeve!" She yells him, quickly covering her mouth with his hand. "Stop! No!" He says. She squirms, not able to say anything. Bobby stays quiet, listening and no one comes. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9etzVoeoSg
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKEm7AB7TL
He looks relieved and picks himself up and helps her dress, keeping a hand on her mouth. "You say anything to them, I will make you wish you hadn't. I know where you live, I know who you friends are and I can easily acess Johnthan's supply of drugs." and he removes his hand, leaving the room quickly.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6e72B2zd2
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrtrftzPZq
For days after that, she doesn't see or hear anyone really. Maeve visits briefly, able to persuade Jess to take a few bites of food, but that's it till the door opens and Douglas walks in. It must be Monday...122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNm14uBphV
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YZIzhfE9O
"Morning, Jess. Works tomorrow for you. You made up your mind? Are you going to start getting me what I want? You we're great at the start, but then went fairly aloof."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XO75R86Bt
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1YRfCX0ij
"Douglas, I have psychosis." She tells him quickly. He looks caught off guard quickly and sinks to her level, confused.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivtdBAt6uM
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQv8SEvb2p
"When I was gone for a while, I was stuck in the psych ward because of your Maggie. I had my first break at work and-"122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0jE8sBjNF
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sIY3osuzj
He doesn't let her finish, him quickily pulling on the rope restraining her and it all comes loose. "Shit, I'm so sorry." He says putting his head in his hands. She sits up a little. "Jess, if I had known- You shoulda told me the truth. Damn it. No wonder the Psychatrist is hanging around the centre, it all makes sense now"122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tEiASpBCa
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN6cwY544w
"Anna?"122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFQvoHfO50
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1Sa3zVmvX
"Yes. She was Maggie's dorm room mate back in University. They hated eachother at first. My ex was never good at dealing with people, and I did isolate her from others... when we we're married... no wonder she called Anna. She isn't coping at running the centre alone. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl30FksRoXB
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBwdYyWUhx
Jess, if you ever get sick or something again, just tell me. You we're sick, not deliberatly avoiding me. I'm sorry I scared you last time we met and I gave you Merge, that would have made your problems worse and now your knee is injured because of me. Did you recieve a formal diagnosis or anything?"122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAbp6gK5NM
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLstaLpZxxm
"Not yet."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7uGHkvqQ3
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpduXqj6qWf
"Okay, listen, I know Anna. You need to comply. She will send you back to hospital if you have more symptoms and don't engage in treatment, and I would have to find someone else at your workplace. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOKl9DFtzM
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SEcp5gmuU
Can you see Anna for me? Just play along, send me what can you about the center and I'll never give you Merge again if we can help it." And his holding his hand out for her to shake it. She slowly does, "Thank you." He tells her, pushing her to lie down. 122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9ernpthXs
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRwv0dHoVw
She goes stiff. "I'm not going to tie you up again. Just get some rest, work is tomorrow." And he tucks the blanket around her. "They told me you said they we're allowed to hurt me." She speaks up. "Bailey? I- Yes, I did say that. If you we're difficult, they could. But nowhere noticeable, I'm sorry." Then he leaves, taking the rope with him. She does hear the door lock, guess it was almost too good to be true.122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZO5NxjD0r
