FreeNovelSophie was groggy, unsure how long she had been asleep, but when she finally woke up, she found the room cloaked in darkness.
That's right, she remembered now-Odie's men had thrown her into a dark room.
A sharp pain shot through Sophie's arm, causing her to inhale sharply. She instinctively wanted to pull her hand back, but a man's voice halted her, "Don't move!" "Who are you?" At that moment, a nurse switched on a flashlight, and Sophie shielded her eyes. The room had no windows and no lights, casting it into deeper darkness.

She relaxed slightly and asked, "How long does Odie plan to keephere?" "That's for him to decide, not us." Realizing the doctor and nurse knew nothing, Sophie pressed on, "Does he plan to kill me?" "You're alive now, so it means he doesn't want you dead." "Fine then, I need to use the bathroom." Sophie's request took the doctor by surprise.
"Basic human needs," she said. "Surely you don't expectto take care of it in here? Does Odie have a fetish for watching people use the bathroom?" Sophie had already noticed the two-way mirror in the room. Odie was undoubtedly in the next room, watching her every move through that mirror.
The doctor, feeling awkward, replied, "That's beyond my authority." "Then go ask your boss. I don't mind as long as he doesn't minddirtying his place." The doctor and nurse exchanged looks.

I think she needs to be taught a lesson." "No, let her go." "What?" "I said let her go. Are you deaf?" "Yes, yes, I'll take her." Gattlin went to the adjacent dark room, saying, "Mr. Odie allows it." Hearing this, Sophie breathed a sigh of relief. She got up with the nurse's help, deliberately slowing her pace as she walked out.

Sophie looked at Gattlin as if he were foolish and slowly said I don't know the way. Begrudgingly, Gattlin had to lead Sophie to the ladies' room himself.
Sophie took in her surroundings. The ship's slight sway suggested it was underway. If she wanted to escape he her only option might be a tic leap into shark-infested waters It seemed she'd have to wait until they docked. "Hurry up," Gattlin urged as Sophie approached the ladies' room.
Her feet, soaked in seawater, were swollen, and each step was agonizing. She wondered if Coand James thought she was already dead...
"Are you done yet?" Gattlin's impatience echoed from outside.
Sophie was about to open the door, but then she heard Gattlin's om obsequiqus voice again, "Mr. Odie..." Sophie retracted her hand from the door.
