"Hello dear?" A voice called. It sounded like a whisper to my ears.

"Who are you?" She just smiled at me.

"I thought you were going to sleep your little life away. You almost got me worried" She chuckled, standing up to get me the water that was on a table.

I watched her closely. She looked like she was in her late 50s, if not early 60s. She also looked harmless. But don't everyone look harmless. Note my sarcasm.

"It's not poisoned and you're safe here." She said softly, sitting close to me. "You came in unconscious. You were brought by a cop"

I closed my eyes trying to remember what happened. "How long have I been out?"
