Natalie’s strength had already returned, but she lowered her eyes and answered weakly, “I used everything carlier. Can you give me some antidote?”

Beth left without another word.

Natalie knew that wasn’t true. Beth must have had the antidote, but she wasn’t about to hand it over. Not when there was the risk she might try to escape.
