Exposure 7

I stalked down the long corridor to the infirmary and knocked on the door.

Nurse Clara opened the door and gave me a subtle smile and then motioned for me to come inside of the sanatorium.

"He won't tell us anything," she tells me, "unless he gets to talk to you."

He must have been Brice.

"Where is he?" I ask curiously.

Clara pointed down another room. "C104. Be careful. He's strapped down to the bed but . . . be careful verbally."

Don't let him know anything, was implied.

As I stood outside of C104, I looked through the small glass window of the door and inside. Brice lay on one of the two cots in the room. His hands were strapped down to the bars of the bed and a guard flanked him on his right side.

Sighing, I pushed the door open and went inside.

I didn't make eye-contact with Brice.

I didn't say anything to him.

I didn't even note his presence.

All I did was sit in a padded chair in the fair corner of the room and slipped out a small recorder out of my pocket and hit play.

When I looked up at Brice, finally, his eyes were like ice. I resisted the urge to shutter.

"Anything you want to say?" I say in a gravely, somber voice.

Brice's expression is hard and is filled with one thing – hatred. He inhales deeply. "Not with that piece of shit turned on," he said as his gaze sagged towards the recorder that I was grasping onto.

"Please, no cussing," I tell him robotically.

He holds a steady stare at me for awhile – he's first to break away.

We sat in silence for approximately six minutes before I stood up. "If there's nothing you'd like to say, then I'll be happy to leave and get on with my day."

As my hand touches the tip of the doorknob, his voice makes me pause.

His words are what send chills down my back.

He spoke with as much acid on his tongue that he could put through.

"There are so many more like me, Miss Morgan. And they will find you. And they will kill you."

So how did you like it? Heheheheh CLIFFY! So, thank you for reading and I hope that you will please review!
