“I gasped for breath. I was no threat to anyone, so I couldn’t imagine why they would treat me that way. I’m seven months pregnant. What on Earth could I possibly do to them? Hours passed, but Della never returned. I feared for her wellbeing, and I knew I was next. My mind desperately scrambled, trying to figure out an escape plan. The worst part was that they weren’t giving us any information, and I had no idea what they wanted from us or why we were there. I tried to take a deep breath and cal...m my trembling hands. Finally, later that night, they returned Della to our padded prison. I stroked her hair as I waited for her to regain consciousness, all the while wondering what horrible things they’d done to her. I wondered where she’d been all day, and I couldn’t wait for her to wake up, because I had a million questions to ask her. When gunshots rang through the air, I jumped, startled by the loud and unexpected blast. For one brief, fluttering moment of ridiculously naïve hope, I thought my king in shining armor had come to rescue me, but then I saw the television built into the wall high above our heads, playing an old Western cowboy shoot-‘em-up movie, Della’s entertainment between torture sessions.MoreLessRead More Read Less
