Chapter 26 Where Is Your Conscience?

"She is so strikingly beautiful. If I were the terrorist, I would want her as well."

The entire hospital was abuzz with gossip about Kelly. They weren't part of her ordeal and, thus, couldn't truly empathize. with her suffering. They were like heartless, unfeeling plants, reducing her five years of terror to little more than a subject for mockery.
