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.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcfvstdHX2

"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.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlSKTNERNC
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpsnXhgnZy
"Nope. And I have to, rent and medical bills."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD75oLWKL1C
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnfEImTT98
"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."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejHwHrXLe2
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEeAxFbDGf
"Lead the way then." 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaTF9ClPwF

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. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCrXD4jywg
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdEpBTCF6p
"Where's Adam?" She whispers to Bella. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcBv9Xaw1B
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesE80jQoyK

"Who was her mother?"123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhk9OkDXCU
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppxCxJyYVU
And Bella stops, turning to look at Jess. "Forget I said anything, I'm sorry."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh1UN8XTPt
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcCfu5F6CO
And then they continue on. Her co-workers have secrets like she does. They arrive upstsirs, seeing Maggie talking to people, Anna not present. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesnWYpfLhv
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorf5doV1J6
"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. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwchiQ4JdHQ
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtDN6e5rp9
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. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDash7We6q
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHfcPdqsKq
I'm only here because I need a job to eat and pay my bills and that's it."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVJoQs09Ak
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DZf0W4glO
Maggie stops talking mid setence hearing what was just said. "Oh..." Bella whispers, looking to the side, her hair falling and covering her face.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN6ZhfVTUM
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xrkisXwby
Maggie turns around and takes a seat, leaning on one of the desks. "Jesse-"123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqa9nmYN3b
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId6qUprINw
"I prefer Jess."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJLNSct9Rw
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ifiMqFdsU
"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. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteDem7w1uL
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD47xPesNQI
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.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAul3FdkMW
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3au8zXopg
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.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LCWyeXunZ
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjcgL5Gyn0
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.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStNCLOdUpY
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBlEdt3Wiv

"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.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxlqCZGTKK
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnd4RVfF9E
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."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ADWQSeSU4

123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2XStkTN6x
"Wait, this is your first time seeing androids?" Maggie starts laughing. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdtKU7026O
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vlJtCFFYz
"Yeah! Well, I saw them online... but never up close till now." Jess cries a little. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv79Ejsw85n

123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vu2Xq0OWO

"Fashion designer." And Maggie holds a magazine out to Jess. Maggie's on the cover wearing a goregous sparkly jumpsuit.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52KSDu7FgV
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqjJLI3Ttp
"Is that yours? Did you design it?" Just a few months ago, she could have afforded that jumpsuit there, hefty price-tag not mattering.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo1dUgajHe
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8hYDrlLM8
"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."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8JqxrjReA

"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.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRc3yftCik
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE22uCjIRh1
"Who else is a Doctor around you? And what is Hanahaki?"123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOFZUyRPSH
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwg1JxhyXY
"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..."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWAg3Uqdd3
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nxTS0pk6P
"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.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrnjXEyvtj
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yRmPTuIkj
"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."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuUCwmHnC0

123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w2WUmC5f2
"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. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUNEYsqnoo

"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."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqDXR2MW89
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4l2iTvEVh
"And why can't we dob her into police?"123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL025JilDYB
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuL95UMf7Z
"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."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosJDtq0UOt

Jess looks at her like she's crazy. "What did you wear?" Bella asks her. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJvOHVXDUs
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBWqdwBbj6
"Pink stripes and pink polka dots and lots of bows and sparkles..."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkOCjWNGWj

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.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ju7wRtJbe
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE02fOVJPz4
Douglas: Come outside, corner of the building, don't be noticed by Bella, enter the blind spot.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNJz5wlkpA
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1MPg0lSou
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.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7QGPcyFhg
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70LBuZvxdr
Douglas: Fucking get your ass outside, or Bailey is coming in in the next five minutes and dragging you out.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmrPo3vuSI

Jess: He wouldn't infront of everyone else.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROJMwXoFTe
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcp1vPctrJ
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.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SAaj41WYu
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjMbuAGWh2
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. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHs6UiLwn9
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfj8P4Nbi9
"Seems it wasn't written off then." 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyYQ2naza8
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowl7NswSna
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. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRgU5l7D1G
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnqV4TSPDc
"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.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiLc4hDWTJ
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mBjgvjYCU
"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.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZu4KIdxtM

"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.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VXeML5x0p
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR7qS4RmAw
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-"123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl8tz9iG1i

123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmsEzvyAcc
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.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhEEWlGGUo
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdloYndOV7A
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. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdnXliCREz
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJI6wmJesy
"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?"123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf2Mbf77jf
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC4pE5zt72
"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 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy5nHyLf7F
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC1kJnW07g
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. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAmociLBYN
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Wy1LE9Bs8
"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. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKjSGG31Zd
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqVo0BNuAY
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. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqtdMloTpQ
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16M0OONDq8
"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.

"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.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShEfpb0MYt
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NT4w3MBAF

"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."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLZbSIrDq8

"What's your name?"123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHcSTmVQEg

"Maeve. It used to be Bonnie, why Bailey here called me Bon Bon when you first walked in."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr6xrsgcKv
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlqBcbJv2H
"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."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydVrVbuE0U
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkv8sjyLi6
"She's a detective, and don't call me, Jesse! It's Jess."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DdwHaK7nc
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LBNfJme9Z
"Whatever." Bobby snaps.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCAwORqSSu
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fhrn0GJZU
"You hungry, Jess?" Maeve asks. She shakes her head no. "Who are you guys?" She asks.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUXoxY5wSb
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7flCrdvns
"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. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRc60SBybd
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uIxwWLGjD
We still take contracts on from people like him." Johnthan tells her.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMxIhlTFBS
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YD5HBz742
She doesn't know what to say, this is serious. She sinks into the bed, wanting this hell to be over. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0zA4Lyvrt
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOvxWDwoQM
"Seems like you're learning your lesson as we speak." He adds on, leaving and gestures the others to follow. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtLCfmYA7J
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymEHSGp0q3
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. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8nkBHd8DI
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlBoDx1jiR
It's Bobby and he closes the door behind him, taking a seat beside her on the bed, inching closer.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIRM2GB9k9
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljhP3NDNCM
"You awake, Jesse?"123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2ZhoxcMW2
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeFJylguH4
She ignores him and he peers over, looking at her face. "Yeah, you're awake. You hungry now?"123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpI8rmGSE6
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc1E0Kklr3
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...123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7DHVeutgD
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrJlAxQMxf
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.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvQz1It8el
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JMoWlOMqT
"Are their parents still-"123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aGl0ovAQM
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKuKaD4TjI
"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."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfLtYCMGEh

"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.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZlMB29bPd
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zItnMwQbn
"Very symbolic..."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBechZyFj9
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiZ5vHy61w
"Thank you." He smiles. "Uh, so my ex, Clara. Do you like her?"123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2gCBXuGbC
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkrYbR0XHy
"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.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxmSLBj3zo
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VY1zND3Rl
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.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSA74dnjmj
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucFB4gLFfZ
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. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWamyGGhKFF
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWrgzsN1b6
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. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZbLWocpuH
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxR3lTCh9l
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."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ6tPZ1qF3
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQaxSKC3ij
"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.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4Va6R3t38
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakjkLxiax1
I'm suprised she's a detective now, I didn't know. But hey, as long as she's happy I guess..."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP3tV9ccRw
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs47dRSVCXd
She nods slowly. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcfdEPFGYM
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG40ChdLYj0
"Jesse-"123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2Cqjs2ksn

"Why?"123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxNJh3V4Jd
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaufY6w8fui
"Because I and my life is meaningless."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaliwweZeQz

"Why do you think that? Did someone tell you that?"123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYOlJAgGo3
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRFNYeWXoC
She doesn't say anything. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxUvbsGU7q

"And how would you know, I might like the silence."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDQ9ofaBR8

123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0084Pfvus
It is boring, and you're lying to me."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpX5DQe0mZ
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW9cLECZ0Q
"Please leave."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvjtBYp6ew
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJLoKNfoTk
"Jess, you're not listening to me. I'm trying to ask..."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcKRKUkTmB
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBx3ITPS3o
"Ask me what?"123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n4fIYvgbk
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaYQ7Nmjn9
"I haven't been with another women in a long time."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbDaaUm9aM
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAg4Wouogb
"You want me to be your girlfriend is that it?"123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI3glzHPs0
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljta2900G9
"No! Well, no. Relationships happen later."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2B84Q9tGG
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqutVTqAav9
"So you want sex, Mr Drunk."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQKwgrVtCC
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEssJD5AHK
"No-" And he slaps his hand to his face, embarassed.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssc4gbjjk8
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAKwbI3f9A
"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. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYJf2clAWz
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaWA2HEQFf
But I won't be your girlfriend. Not at this point."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDoOzJz3vX
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt220tVaR3v
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.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoDQdLhHvp
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Or05xyggF
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. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTac0YCkfpx
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilYCLnT0oT
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. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlujzYYFGr
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbtvAr9J8O
"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. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpu7jMxARe
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhCDQh18Jk
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.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ4HtHEh4Q
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjRRFeqnIj
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...123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul3HhFkViw
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMc5awIt7D
"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."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGshTksmK8
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtrv3Vs5lV
"Douglas, I have psychosis." She tells him quickly. He looks caught off guard quickly and sinks to her level, confused.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjpysrvZ0K
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrws6YNjcz
"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-"123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0CvMUVjBk
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KvCi3uAbw
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"123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7gs7e7dHw
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSeBKUivAn
"Anna?"123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIcmfNo8l4
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UnFbnd0T4
"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. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY2nEAjxWO
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjle2bBNjy
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?"123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhAT4vwdDo
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynvgUxEUsS
"Not yet."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPXylgJxgG
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qoI8gSHlr
"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. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGpeIzad2g
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV9M38PDUx
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. 123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClcRLjqIJG
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ039aT4Bmuk
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.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLae9F7oPr
