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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIfrwZlcue

"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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDLOQ1N0NK
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjCvcPwLa2
"Nope. And I have to, rent and medical bills."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ945442V6CA
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5iL0Lw4TH
"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."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaj7bALVa3
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUXhoAHuCa
"Lead the way then." 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBybF96fse

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. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAWvRZfkdZ
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf96iZmaHIB
"Where's Adam?" She whispers to Bella. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHr1tTVqr4
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv61tNjTEId
"He quit that afrernoon we sent you to the hospital. His going back to work for emergency services out on the street."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNavUWJPOMc
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OQdjQVvC9

127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SInWydpk9
"She is. Following in mothers footsteps and all that, that last part being fairly loose though, give or take."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgBnZciKjf
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQCODaVVQp
"Who was her mother?"127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLizmD5OMvr
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL7hckIJff
And Bella stops, turning to look at Jess. "Forget I said anything, I'm sorry."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8pLiCr5n1
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pwSVwcdmI
And then they continue on. Her co-workers have secrets like she does. They arrive upstsirs, seeing Maggie talking to people, Anna not present. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78Qk9rOJ38
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxR6ti7e53
"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. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiHN0c6dDD
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Jd8w4hDuC
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. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfJAgj6FVy
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsBtEfe35n
I'm only here because I need a job to eat and pay my bills and that's it."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55UsoXdqgE
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQPN5n6Mq0
Maggie stops talking mid setence hearing what was just said. "Oh..." Bella whispers, looking to the side, her hair falling and covering her face.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcELSsWWxC
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUbPQ0I6Dc
Maggie turns around and takes a seat, leaning on one of the desks. "Jesse-"127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKKYPGc3iz
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8a36R2qtY
"I prefer Jess."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGzTAh4Eea
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Bvc8a0d5t
"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. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR57IwblvTJ
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGSVCh3Nct
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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxckXeibXl0
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfSzRZjTqw
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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDrIk3v6dy
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U2dtLivEQ
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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2zQuJwM1z
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPjrhtjRjF
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."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUqDQsoDSI
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XHLZkE4PT
"Okay? So, how does-"127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk8DKo5oaL
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIihworAiE
"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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWacKBNLYo
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CSC72SzVc
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."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVcuDZ4azz
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPWIeA0IYm
"Sectors?"127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodj10miSSH
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezZ8ICYMAO

"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... "127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2SFHmy6TH
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcW49GNnhH
"Wait, this is your first time seeing androids?" Maggie starts laughing. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrnjpP0RW6
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4cLMs4eTX
"Yeah! Well, I saw them online... but never up close till now." Jess cries a little. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTcP3SHCz9
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHLRyCCtxn
"Damn, so what do you really think of them?!"127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUmyHWae11
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhSKBXytdE

127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbO1i7iLXn
"I know right?! It was so stressful when I first took over, I was not to used to them. I didn't interfere with my ex-husbands bussiness at all beforehand."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VDxG2T1wL
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWwbM8FXoJ
"So, what is your dream? Because it's not this place."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq2TxdzLFb
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjybF4krpx
"Fashion designer." And Maggie holds a magazine out to Jess. Maggie's on the cover wearing a goregous sparkly jumpsuit.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7sqH0zNZP
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWwAYe6UTD
"Is that yours? Did you design it?" Just a few months ago, she could have afforded that jumpsuit there, hefty price-tag not mattering.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgKnz9dIYT
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxjpsdV28N
"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."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUvv2MOEjH
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzSQELNSEh
"Where do you live now if it's not... your mansion..."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0jRcvBNZd
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVphdPIVG8
"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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd3lZla4pn
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeGwK0uDlB
"Who else is a Doctor around you? And what is Hanahaki?"127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq4z1lz0cL
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrxxx4OHwu
"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..."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2oUQdPqzS
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCJshKP7Sy
"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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMP5kW3IuT
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GUgaKXZkS
"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."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNFw5qaY0W

127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzG244udtm
"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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeQdc0PyTj
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlyol6QRpn
I'd like to offer you one appointment a week so we can talk."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCcz3ZKFWd

"...... Bella, what are my tasks for today?"127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrRJH88sRY
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtChyfg5tWs
"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. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0LlkRMB9Y
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcsIvd8Nq0
"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."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsODiwqvd7Q
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFzt0SEtkZ
"And why can't we dob her into police?"127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUvDo1u8E6
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKbJbucxFl
"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."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5FEjfrn48
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEM7lSHj58
"Where is a 15 year old getting that much money?"127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkCfDQ9hYp
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc0ZBccamh
"I don't know. As I said parental problems, maybe? Distant and maybe loaded?"127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlSwKJS7FP
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVsUHWJ0V6
"She doesn't dress it."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GmD51gwlF
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWUvK6QTuI
"That's how teenagers dress, Jess. It's called Scene."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSQcbWIbbI
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVpjtyUGj9
Jess looks at her like she's crazy. "What did you wear?" Bella asks her. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY5le5EY2u
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0THnFqbGXs
"Pink stripes and pink polka dots and lots of bows and sparkles..."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHpGlhGqVl
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wLDsnhokj
"Farm wear, and hand me downs."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNadhb0WR8a
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ916RRYLRq

127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrZmoKmt6b
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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3FxosTRpt
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjmlsRjhUK
Douglas: Come outside, corner of the building, don't be noticed by Bella, enter the blind spot.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIABF31otGU
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns1e9BRyO4
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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4kver1oVa
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmryVBNSQ3
Douglas: Fucking get your ass outside, or Bailey is coming in in the next five minutes and dragging you out.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Zh193M3IU
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTQ9824dEI
Jess: He wouldn't infront of everyone else.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhUAKzBKw5
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZVce3NlCk
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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6RHujgqyJ
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iv6ZVJCPR
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. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHecATGynX
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptimTQoiNO
"Seems it wasn't written off then." 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMm1twLhdH
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9RwgZo5ot
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. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQe99jTIBC
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y9s3JTz7m
"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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIJ2PEyViu
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvULQfZsodG
"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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmU3bIwQiO

"She's not my friend!"127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nQLVWBP0X
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4pViW3HGZ
"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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQYRDNq8Es
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiYtTKmkp1
"Where the hell did you even meet these two, Douglas?"127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFucIucJ89s

"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.

127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sHpGJ6mmf
"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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjDvT5z5c7
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g5TIOJmrv
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-"127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mVP4Iktol
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUQlwJXT9a
"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."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuhBryyWZJ
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf8DCiRwma
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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq0vV4IFeM
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01jfKztjEC
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. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotl8asZW96
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1c64VTreI
"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?"127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgttcSiKOHv
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dU25sSyGN
"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 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssDirjvYy2
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM30D9g8sG
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. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUREpuBYGja
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f6EGIjhXB
"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. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTLP2oWW5Q
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrihjYDmtRO
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. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7zdyJyQdk
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuLyfpbRkk
"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. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjsR1qyHDf

"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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAT6nRxqRg
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBEvFb9Q9U
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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30zJR6COQj

"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."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPVr8YQ9GO

127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTBEr4X3Zr
"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."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIIbvXTG2I

"Whatever." Bobby snaps.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM52Z4DaSB
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtSVAupv2Q
"You hungry, Jess?" Maeve asks. She shakes her head no. "Who are you guys?" She asks.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8epZe3slZ
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDS1OsVJlo
"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. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV0THaSgGh
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X4fZ8dTL5
We still take contracts on from people like him." Johnthan tells her.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I51mnNiCk
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKds0DM5A9q
She doesn't know what to say, this is serious. She sinks into the bed, wanting this hell to be over. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGSYcFLwjy
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNYC1sdPOZ
"Seems like you're learning your lesson as we speak." He adds on, leaving and gestures the others to follow. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAY4z6Cw2o
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tzfvFj8qp
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. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLehs8P8VLa
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy0k51igYn
It's Bobby and he closes the door behind him, taking a seat beside her on the bed, inching closer.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3mAw2IR4x
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi2Tzhznjp
"You awake, Jesse?"127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oEVzMUb2d
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbfQEcWuiT
She ignores him and he peers over, looking at her face. "Yeah, you're awake. You hungry now?"127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK9SmjN19U
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJkLLNaRKG
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...127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxuSMrRVOS

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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLrXUBNF1X

"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."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaNMjZe45I

"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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDz0ONzhMJ
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJytDtrv25k
"Very symbolic..."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PhEhv4x1S
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNO6kPTwuU

127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD8uTRulkS
"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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcue48GsuDq
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5W4zna1Jq
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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnPsF0Zvyf
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dB1mWty5k
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. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwoOWNpQvB
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5r4YV3jdv
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. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLVB48FOMM
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNgbt8sqpI
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."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pqKXaJppQ
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMIqxZ3q70
"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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiCEw9GWip
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiL2Z9zhhm
I'm suprised she's a detective now, I didn't know. But hey, as long as she's happy I guess..."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jWlxeTcIE

She nods slowly. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtwBK28HMs

"So you want sex, Mr Drunk."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGfeXTlDsj
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJO06WgxWO
"No-" And he slaps his hand to his face, embarassed.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBvUx6Xuse
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ExXKdnqEy
"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. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd4IDQnElO
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5qQOyKQQh
But I won't be your girlfriend. Not at this point."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qEV7H6bz6
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3izdjcuCa
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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvCEKc2pBk
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJovD3K3Uu
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. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdinPpehcn
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBihsZN6Skv
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. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsd2WFpxNj
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlNGUphWTK
"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. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnCMTiCUGD
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONSe3xieKo
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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6tZLhvhYy
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzME1Sh6PS
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...127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNONjaMto1x
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNilneL4Y9c
"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."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qnMo53eUM
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwvoYM5Zqf
"Douglas, I have psychosis." She tells him quickly. He looks caught off guard quickly and sinks to her level, confused.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnT9ytwQlT

"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-"127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtihXguyleR
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybFwGUdkYn
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"127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8fyv3lRYB
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfpkl14Yx9
"Anna?"127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgyy3V08Je
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GYn7PaxKy
"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. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMyzARiPsz
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qJHvJoTYW
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?"127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GJqwWjBRv
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqhV0DraAL
"Not yet."127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtdQW8mDKI
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomsmguEriL
"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. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2z7fqQIRL
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pqsyJ5flu
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. 127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowvOozV44c
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuHIKHM0fx
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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVW6Ph2qsQ
