Chapter 5
"Rise and shine Amanda."
Sydney opened her eyes to see Trivette standing there.
"Your friend Williams has gone home so I'll be looking after you today I'm Brian Mitchell and my friends call me Mitch. Williams asked me to tell you he'd see you tonight," Trivette winked at her as he spoke.
Syd remained silent looking straight ahead.
"Okay then," Trivette continued getting no response, "We need to get moving Dr. Welsh is expecting you this morning. I'll leave you ladies to dress and be back in five minutes."
As Jimmy closed the door Cecilia spoke, "Be careful Amanda don't trust Welsh, don't let him near you he's a murderer."
"A murderer?" Syd asked as the door opened again and one of the day nurses came in.
"Morning Cecilia," she greeted Syd's roommate, "And how are you this morning? It is a beautiful day maybe we'll go outside later. Are you ready?" she asked taking hold of Cecilia's arm and ushering you out.
Trivette rapped lightly on the door again before entering and coming over to Sydney. "You are the lucky one today," he told her making small talk for the benefit of those listening, "Dr. Welsh is going to have breakfast with you in his office."
Syd picked up her doll and let Trivette lead her out. As they came out of earshot of the staff members Jimmy leaned forward and whispered to Syd, "Piper and Chris send big hugs and kisses to Mom."
A small smile stole across her face at the thought of the children.
"And here we are," Trivette announced as they stood in front of Welsh's office door. Rapping loudly he announced they were there. Dr. Welsh called for them to come in. Opening the door wide Jimmy stood back for Syd to go in as the good doctor came over taking her hand.
"That will be all," Dr. Welsh dismissed Trivette, "Amanda and I will be just fine come back for her in about an hour."
Trivette didn't know what it was but there was something about the way Dr. Welsh had looked at Syd that bothered him.
"Amanda sit," Welsh was smiling at her. "I know that you are in there somewhere," he continued as Sydney sat on the edge of the chair.
He had moved behind her resting his hands heavily on her shoulders he leaned forward his lips coming near her ear. "I know you can hear me Amanda, I know you understand, you and I are going to become real close friends," he began saying as his hands began to massage her shoulders.
Syd willed herself not to move trying hard to keep up the façade she had created. She clutched her doll closer to her as Welsh's hand moved around to the front of her neck sliding downward toward her breast.
"Melia, Melia, Melia," she began to chant and rock from side to side.
"Amanda stop it right now," Welsh demanded to no avail. "I think it is time to learn a lesson here, you are going to bend to my will one way or another."
Sydney still chanted and still rocked aimlessly.
"Have it your way Amanda," Welsh told her going to the breakfast table that been set up for them and tipping it over with a loud crash. Next he went to the phone, "Get me two orderlies we have a situation here," he yelled into the receiver.
Within seconds two orderlies came through the door and as they did Welsh grabbed the doll from Syd.
"Mine," Syd cried out as one of the orderlies went to either side of her holding her as she tried to grab for her doll.
"Take her to room four and put her in restraints," Welsh ordered.
Trivette watched on unable to prevent what was happening without putting them all in trouble. He watched them drag Syd down the hall calling out for her doll, he watched them through the tiny window in the door as they held her down putting her wrists and ankles into the leather straps that would hold her in the bed. The two of them left her there crying out for her doll.
"Rise and shine Amanda."
