Mind Control

Rhoda snapped wide awake, her eyes habitually snapping open. She could feel a gust of wind brushing against her bare face, which made her eyes dart around.

She knew that she wasn't in her bunker back at the company, so where was this?

Immediately, she caught sight of her five subordinates' faces staring back at her with looks of relief.

Or rather, three looks of relief with David and Kiel staring at her with strange, undecipherable faces.

Rhoda was stunned. What did that look mean?

She thought back carefully into her memories, and it clicked. She controlled her instinctual reaction to blanch as she thought about her inexcusable and utterly deplorable behaviour.

Despite the control she had over her facial features, her face still turned red in embarrassment. Too embarrassing! How could she still look David and Kiel in the eyes after this?!
