When Marissa finally stirred from slumber, it was already 11:00 am. Tessa had left the police station and returned to the hospital by then.

Marissa felt dizzy when she peeled her eyes open. Her complexion was pallid, and her face was lined with fatigue. After allowing her eyes to adjust to the bright lights, Marissa looked around the room, taking in the blurry silhouettes that were moving about.

Marissa pushed herself into a sitting position. She accepted the water Tessa offered her and took a few sips. "Thank you," she said.

Tessa sat down on the edge of the bed and studied Marissa, concern evident in her eyes. Her voice was soft when she asked, "How are you feeling? Do you feel better?"

Marissa's lips parted slightly before she said, "I'm dizzy, and my entire body feels sapped of strength. Why am I feeling like this? How did I end up in the hospital?"
