They Thought He was Safe
Page 24
“Sorry.” He swallowed. He looked at Heather. “What happened?”
“I… I was just telling you… about how… I didn’t know whether…” she looked back at Tyrrell for help. He didn’t offer anything, just looking from her to Zachary. “They said that he had captured you. They said it like it was just a few minutes. Was it… just a few minutes?”
It might have been only a few minutes or it might have been hours. Zachary had no way to measure the time that had passed. Teddy had given Zachary drugs so that he could act without any resistance. Zachary had been so doped up, there had been no chance of escape from the sadist who worked him over, doing whatever his twisted little brain could come up with. And yet, he’d been conscious the whole time.
“I don’t know,” he told Heather honestly. “It seemed like a long time.”
Heather nodded, and he saw understanding in her eyes. Not just a surface emotion, but something that told him that she too understood that disassociation and time distortion. As if she, too, had been through a similar experience. He looked at her, hesitating to ask.
“What happened to you?”
