She squealed and screeched, wailed and moaned, roared as hard as she could, but she was not able to communicate her distress, nor could she understand its reasoning.
“Let her go.”
“Who is she?”
“Let her go!”
With Gus’s further reluctance to answer, Eugene beat his hand against the window twice more.
A man in a white coat pressed a button, and Sadie’s wails filled the room. She shook with the seizure of a high voltage of electricity soaring through her body.
“Perhaps you could let us know when you are more forthcoming,” Eugene spoke. He left the room and the soldiers returned, taking him away.
Gus watched Sadie disappear as he was wheeled out of the room, but the echoes of her pain could be heard all the way down the corridor.
Within minutes he had been returned to his room and restrained once more to his bed.
He was left alone.
With nothing but his thoughts.
All alone.
The hours ticked by. As did the days.
The doctors left him. There was no food. No help. He was left to completely to his solitude. With nothing.
But Sadie’s face remained. The torturous look on her face.
On the face of the girl who had taught him to love again.
The whole time, two thoughts punched through his mind. Two questions, stirring around the forefront of his mind, bubbling with the heat of boiled anger.
How he was going to rescue her.
And how he was going to beat the life out of Eugene Squire until there was nothing left but the remains of an undead corpse.
