Sanctuary
Part 5
"How long have I been here?" he demanded.
"Let me go" she said with her voice quavering but Zack noticed that her eyes showed no fear.
"Interesting," he thought, "that little experiment worked out better than I'd planned it."
He held onto her arm a moment longer just to make sure that she understood who had control and then let her go. She immediately moved to the other side of the room and turned to look out the window.
"Well?" he said to her back.
She visibly jumped but did not turn or answer. After a moment she took a deep breath and said "Well, what?"
A look of irritation passed over Zack's face but he quickly quelled it.
"How long have I been here?" he repeated very slowly.
"Don't speak to me like I'm a child" she spat as she turned around with sparks shooting from her eyes.
"It was just an innocent question," he said with a little smile.
Melanie took another deep breath. "Calm down, girl," she thought, "don't let him get to you. You've been questioned by more dangerous people than this guy."
"You were unconscious for a week after I found you at the wreckage site."
"Why didn't you take me to a hospital?" Zack asked.
He noted her pause before answering. "We were snowed in. The road was impassable."
"What about the phone?" he asked. "I've got her now" he thought.
"The phone lines were down."
"Then why were you so upset when I tried to use the phone?" he asked with a gleeful gleam in his eye.
She looked really nervous now. She was starting to sweat. "I have to say something," she thought as she licked her suddenly dry lips.
