Chapter 88

A day went by. Locked in their large cell, the prisoners found themselves bored, talk having petered out as they each sat on their pallets, mulling their situation. The comatose guy was taken away on the pretext of caring for him. The mute women, who kept to themselves, huddled in a corner, eyeing Percy with suspicion and rejecting any overtures Riley and Carmen made.

With nothing to entertain them, silence reigned, and Riley took that time to let her imagination run rampant as she wondered what to expect next. She'd not seen the big cyborg since his questioning the day before, just their guard, who slid food packets into their cell and stubbornly refused to answer any of their questions.
