I'm back, all.. Decided not to completely forego this story, and, yes, add another chapter..let me know how it is.
Toby O'Connor slowly opened her heavy-lidded eyes. The room seemed to swirl in slow motion, so she blinked to steady herself, but the room did not stop spinning. She remembered a sharp pain in her arm and feeling herself relax against her will. Nobody touches you, she thought, and nobody can get close to you. No one gets close to you, and no one can hurt you. She repeated this to herself several times to convince herself of it. She figured the effects of the drug would wear off eventually, so she might as well succumb to the sleep that was tugging at her eyes. She realized then that they must have given her a muscle relaxant as well, seeing that her arms and legs did not obey her mind's requests to move. In her mind, she simply shrugged. It just made it easier to sleep..

Watching her reaction through the window, Dr. Jacob felt a pang of fatherly compassion towards Toby. He saw her eyes blink slowly as she realized she had been given a muscle relaxant as well. His eyes clouded a bit as the feeling lf helplessness started to sink in. He saw her finally shut her eyes in resignation to the severe drowsiness that was a main characteristic of the injection they had given her. Once again, he ran his hands through his hair several times, and decided to go back to his office and review her file, hoping something new might help shed some light on this dark situation he found himself in. He had to help her, there must be a way, he thought. There must.
