After the doctor had left, Deb collapsed in Mike’s arms. He lifted her in his arms and carried her to the bed.
“This can’t be happening” she sobbed, desperately. “I can’t be pregnant, Mike. Not from him…not again”
Mike sank down on the bed, and wiped her tears with his thumbs. “It might not be his” he mumbled softly, mischievously, and hopeful.
Deb looked in his eyes, and he gazed back at her.
“Think, Deb, think really hard. When was the first time you felt sick?” Mike urged.
Deb looked down, thinking, reminiscing, and then looked up again. “It was before” she whispered, dramatically.
Any other person would’ve wondered what she meant by that, but Mike knew exactly what she was talking about.
Deb shook her head, confused. “We only did it once” she sighed, in disbelief
“Yeah, well” Mike shrugged. “Sometimes, once is enough. That means you’ll have to move in to my place, because we’re not raising our child in a motel room”
“What’s wrong with my place?” Deb argued. Mike raised his eyebrows. “Okay, fair enough” she gave in. She narrowed her eyes. “Where do you live?”
“Woodbridge, Virginia” Mike replied. “Does that sound appealing to you?”
“Everywhere you are sounds appealing to me” Deb replied, and she gave him a kiss.
    
An instant later Emma appeared. When she saw Joe lying on the floor, appearing to be dead, she accelerated her steps, while repeatedly mumbling ‘no’ She knelt and turned Joe on his back.
“Joe, wake up. Please, wake up” she begged. “Don’t leave me here”
Joe groaned and opened his eyes. “Dear God, that hurt” he moaned. “What are you doing here? I told you not to come until I called you”
“I followed Ryan. It would’ve been two against one. It wouldn’t have been a fair fight. I had to come and help you” Emma explained loyal.
“That’s very thoughtful...

The helicopter landed on an open field in the woods. As soon as it hit the ground, Mike opened the door and jumped right out. He ran to the spot Ryan had given him the coordinates of. There were no shovels or anything else that could be useful for that matter.
So he dropped on his knees and started digging.
“Debra!” he shouted while he removed the earth. “Hold on, I’m right here! Just hang on a little bit longer”
After a few more minutes of digging his hands touched something solid. Agitated he wiped the earth from the box that came in view and along with Turner he opened the coffin....

“Any last words?” Alex asked with a voice of which the malicious pleasure just dripped of. Debra looked up at him, her eyes wide in terror.
“You don’t have to do this” she begged.
“I know I don’t ” Alex replied careless. “Take small breaths” he advised before getting up. As Debra cried and screamed for help he and his partner closed the coffin and buried it underneath the ground.
Everything went quiet. The only sound heard were Debra’s sobs and cries and heavy breaths. She desperately hoped the FBI would find her. Well, they would find her. Just not in time.
“Okay”...

Before Deb could go, she had to return to prison to get her clothes and other artefacts back, like the tree necklace she’d had ever since she was a child. She hadn’t worn it in years, but she couldn’t quite throw it away. It was the only thing that connected her to her family, and as crappy as her family was, it was still her family.
After she got her stuff back, she went to her cell, where Susan was waiting for her. Susan stood, and walked to Deb. She embraced her tightly.
“I’m so happy for you” Susan sobbed. Her arms still around Deb, she gave her a hard kiss. “You’ll do great...

With Rob out of the picture, and one of Rob’s girls in the witness stand, Deb dared to hope for the first time in a long time.
“Miss Connor, according to your statement you were acquainted with Robert Lively. Is that correct?” James Hyland asked. Tess nodded. “Please, answer with yes or no” James said.
“Yes” Tess answered firmly.
“Where did you meet him?” James asked.
“I was a patient in the clinic he worked at” Tess replied. “I had some family issues and I needed psychiatric help. Rob was my therapist”
“That means you know my client as well” James motioned at Debra,...

When she opened her eyes, Deb lay in a hospital bed. Rob was sitting beside her, and for a moment Deb thought she was back in the institution.
“What happened?” she asked hoarse.
“You don’t remember?” Rob frowned. Deb shook her head. “What do you remember?” Rob asked cautiously.
“The last thing I know, is that you picked me up from the clinic” Deb replied.
Rob sighed and shook his head. “I can’t believe I have to be the one to tell you this” he mumbled.
Deb’s eyes widened in fear. “Tell me what?” she asked, with a small voice. She wasn’t sure she actually wanted to...

During the rest of the day Deb was shown around. Christina explained her how to take orders, and where she had to put the dishes.
Soon enough, evening came, and it was time to change her clothes. When Deb was dressed in her waitress costume, the door of the kitchen opened, and Rob appeared in the doorway.
He whistled admiring at the sight of her. “Do me a favor, and don’t change after your shift” he said, winking, making Deb blush.
In general the evening went quite well, aside the few broken glasses, and the wine Deb spilled on someone’s white shirt.
Finally, when Deb brought an order to...

Rob parker his car in front of a fancy looking club. He pointed at the big letters under the roof, spelling ‘The Dahlia Dancers’ “They light up in the dark” he informed Deb, and he laughed as he saw Deb’s eyes widen with childlike enthusiasm. “It’s called neon”
“Neon” Deb repeated to herself. “Things that light up in the dark” she added, mentally writing it down.
“Come on, let’s have you take a look inside” Rob suggested, and he got out of the car. Ever the gentleman, he walked around, and got the door for Deb, and helped her out.
She looked around, and inhaled the...

Deb quickly put on some casual clothes Miranda had given her, and then stormed out of her room, down the stairs, and outside. She braked, and gasped, when she saw a light grey car parked in front of the clinic. It was sort of wrapped with a white ribbon.
“Do you like it?”
Deb’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly turned around. Rob was leaning against the wall, his arms crossed, a smirk across his face. In all her eagerness to get out, she hadn’t even noticed him.
She ran towards him, and wrapped her arms around his neck. “I’ve missed you so much” she nearly cried.
“I missed you...

In the week that passed Debra didn’t say a word to Annabel, or to anyone else for that matter. Annabel realized she had gone too far with her accusations, but it wasn’t fair of Deb, either, to just simply assume Annabel’s life had been all rainbows and unicorns.
Sure, she had clothes, a bed to sleep in, and food. But she didn’t really have anyone. Before she had learned the truth about her parents, Annabel had made up this picture perfect in her head. Her father was in the army, and her mother was a teacher.
But now that she knew the truth, it was difficult to forget it. “Why did you...

Deb looked confused at Dale.
“I don’t understand. What are we doing here?” she asked, her eyes shifting through the room.
“This will be your new room” Dale explained happily.
“What about Agnes?” Deb asked, slowly.
“She won’t be a problem anymore” Dale smiled reassuring. He walked towards Deb, and took her by the shoulders. “I told you I would take care of it”
He leaned forward, and gave her a soft kiss on the lips. “What’s wrong?” he asked, when he let go of her.
“I, uh, I thought I was getting my old room” Deb quickly made up a lie to explain why she looked like...

Three days had passed when Deb was finally released from the hospital room. She hadn’t been allowed any visitors, but Rob had snuck in, and kept her company, every now and then.
With Annabel still in solitary, Deb had a fair chance at finding that picture.
She walked around Annabel’s bed, and knelt. She looked underneath the bed, and pulled Annabel’s bag from underneath it. She stood and put the bag on the bed. She opened it and discovered all sorts of garbage. Flippo’s, candy…
She closed the bag and put it back where she found it. Not many hiding places where left, so she picked up...

Deb and Annabel were standing right in front of their new mutual room. They glared provocatively at each other, and then Annabel pushed Deb aside, and entered the room.
She walked to the bed by the window, and lay down.
“Don’t you think it’s a little careless to put us in a room with a window that big?” Den asked, while she walked to the window. “I mean, I’ve already tried to escape once”
“Why don’t you give it a try?” Annabel suggested.
Deb walked to the window, and searched for the lock, but found none.
“Maybe you can try to break it” Annabel helped. She nodded at the lamp....

The small woman-whose name turned out to be Miranda-looked examining from Deb to Annabel. “It has come to my attention that the two of you, have had some trouble with each other”
Annabel glared venomously at Deb, who was staring at her knees.
Miranda folded her hands. “So, who wants to kick start this most likely going to be awkward conversation?”
Annabel leaned back, arrogant, clicking her tongue.
“It’s quite simple, really” she said, dry. “Little Miss Special Treatment, over there, grabbed my shoulder, and pushed me against the wall”
She turned to Deb, for confirmation, but the...

When, after an hour, Deb left Rob’s room, she could feel a pair of eyes on her, even before she looked up.
“What are you two doing in there?” Annabel asked, accusatory.
“None of your damn business” Deb snapped. She wanted to walk past Annabel, but the latter blocked her.
“My, my, do you kiss your mother with that mouth?” she said, pretending to be shocked. She smirked. “Oh, wait, that’s right. Your mother tossed you, along with the trash”
She laughed in Deb’s face, and she was still laughing, when Deb grabbed her shoulders and pushed her against the wall.
Annabel cried out...

Debra parker her car in front of Beth’s motel room. She stared out of the windshield, feeling Mike’s eyes on her.
“You let her sleep here? Why not in your hotel room? You gave her the keys” he said.
“I wasn’t going to send her back there, with you around” Deb snapped.
Infuriated with Beth’s lies and Deb’s incompetence of seeing her sister for who she really was, Mike unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car.
He walked around the vehicle and opened Deb’s door, but it wasn’t out of courtesy. He just wanted Deb to hurry up, so he could prove to her that he was trustworthy....
continue reading...
Careful not to alert anyone, Beth walked inside the hospital. She wished it had been a little more crowded, so no one would notice her, but the place seemed quiet. She could really use some sort of accident now, one that would give her the opportunity to sneak to Debra’s room without being seen.
She took a deep breath and decided to take her chance.
“Hey, wait up!”
Damn it, Beth cursed in herself. She turned around reluctantly and looked at the receptionist.
“Where are you going? Visiting hours are long over” the receptionist said reproaching.
“Please, I have to speak with my sister”...

Ten minutes left, the grandfather clock in the hallway told Beth. Time to go. Who knew how many people she’d have to shake off on her way to the kitchen? While walking she tried to come up with a good excuse as to why she was all dressed up, wearing her coat, and what she needed the bag for.
Agnes left her door unlocked, something she never did. She would hate it if anyone would enter her room without her permission.
Beth was lucky. She encountered no one and she entered the kitchen. She looked around, but saw no one. Maybe she was too early. Agnes wouldn’t be late. Beth started having...

For the second time that day Agnes grabbed Beth painfully tight by her shoulders.
“What the hell were you doing down there?” she hissed hostile.
“Hiding from you” Beth replied honest. “Does Dale know you’re keeping a boy prisoner? Shall I go and tell him?”
Agnes’ face moved and she put Beth down. “If I let you go unharmed, you won’t speak of the boy to Dale or to anyone” It was a command, not a question. Beth nodded heavy and Agnes let her pass.
As Agnes walked downstairs, Beth headed back upstairs, straight to Dale’s room. Forgetting all courtesy she threw the door open...

Angry and upset Beth headed for the basement. It was dark and quiet. No one would be looking for her down there.
She climbed down the stairs and then hid underneath it. She sunk down and wrapped her arms around her knees.
“Where are you, Debbie? Why did you leave me?” she complained and she supported her head against her knees and started sobbing.
“Beth?”
Beth looked up.
“Beth, is that you?”
“Who is that?” Beth called. “Where are you?”
“I’m in the cage” Simon replied. “Turn the lights on, then you’ll see”
Beth pulled herself up and walked to the switch. She turned...
