Eddy could hear the distinct sound of a woman sobbing as she came to. Looking around the dimly lit room, she saw that she was completely alone.

"Who's there?" Eddy called out.

The sobbing came from inside the closet next to the bed. "I'm so sorry," the woman sobbed from behind the door.

"Don't be sorry! Get us the fuck out!"

"I can't. I'm tied up. This is all my fault... I'm... I'm so sorry."

"Who are you? Where are we? Who's doing this to us?"

The woman continued to sob. "If I would've known... Eddy, I didn't mean for this to happen... "

"What exactly is... ?"

"I don't know how much longer I... she shot me up full of I don't know what... but I feel my heart going... "

Eddy looked to the outer door. There were no sounds coming from the other side, no sign that anyone else was there.

"When is she coming back? How long do we have?"

"I am so... " the woman managed with one final sob before her head thudded against the door.

Then there was silence.

Eddy was pretty sure that the woman in the closet had died. If she didn't get the fuck out of there and fast, she would be next. Judging from how much lucidity she'd regained against the amount of time that would lapse from her injections of tranquilizers, she knew that her captor was away. That bought her some time. Not much, but hopefully enough. She looked at her arm handcuffed to the bedpost and struggled to pull the bedpost off the frame with all her strength.
