Sophie 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.

The nurse explained, "You've got a fever. Mr. Odie sent us to treat you."

With the flashlight's aid, Sophie saw the discarded plastic wrapper-a fever reducer indeed.

She relaxed slightly and asked, "How long does Odie plan to keep me here?"

"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."
