New Information

Once the unbearable group session ended where Linda had pretty much just victimised all of the people there, everyone broke away into different parts of the dull room. AJ immediately approached the girl who supposedly knew her. She had to admit, her face did seem familiar but AJ couldn't remember where from.

"You know me?" AJ walked over to the woman who was standing pouring herself a cup of water from the table, "From where?" AJ asked defensively.

"Russia." The girl turned to her, "You were in a camp with me." She said, "Next bed actually." She said as AJ looked across at her, "You always tried to fight it. I never knew how you could." She said as AJ looked at her.

Her time in camps was very blurry, mostly because she chose to forget about all of it, but she did remember this woman. She remembered seeing her face whenever she'd turn her head, "Connie, right?" AJ remembered her name suddenly.

"Yeah." Connie nodded, "How the hell did you get out?" She shook her head.

"I… I was getting moved camps. I jumped out the car." She said.

"I missed you when you left." Connie admitted, "I missed talking to you. Or… more, you talking to me and calming me down." She said, "They replaced you with a girl who… she would just scream, the entire time." Connie nodded, "Understandable I guess." She shrugged, topping her water up.

"How the hell are you here?" AJ questioned, "How are you in this place?"

"They picked me up from the camp in Moscow." Connie said, "I don't remember much because I was so drugged out. They took us here, me and a few other girls, said they were going to help us." She said.

"And how's that working out for you?" AJ questioned as Connie just looked at her.

"It's better than being in the camp." Connie said as AJ looked at her and nodded.

"Why is everyone here a girl? I haven't saw one guy." AJ admitted as Connie looked around.

"I think the idea is that… it's for girls who have been hurt… hurt like us." Connie said as AJ looked at her.

"Do you know anything else about this place?" AJ questioned.

"No." Connie shook her head, "I keep my head down."

"Has everyone here been picked up from a camp?" AJ questioned as Connie nodded, "Everyone?"

"Well… everyone but you." Connie said, "How'd you get here?"

"It's… it's a long story." AJ said, looking across at her, "So the idea is to… help us get over what happened? Is that it?" AJ questioned.

"I think so." Connie nodded.

"And how long have you been here?" AJ asked.

"Like… a year or something." Connie shrugged, "I don't know, I was pretty out of it when I came here. I think everyone was."

"Do you honestly believe this place is going to help you?" AJ questioned.

"No, but I believe it's somewhere safe for us. We all do." Connie nodded, turning around a little more as AJ looked down and noticed something.

"Are you pregnant?" AJ questioned, looking at the visible bump, not too big but easy to see for sure.

"Yeah." Connie nodded as AJ looked up at her.

"And you've been here for a year?" AJ questioned as Connie nodded, "Oh my God… did someone-"

"I can't remember." Connie said briefly, "It just happened."

"You don't just get pregnant." AJ spat, "Someone did this to you. Someone here." AJ said, looking around at the men in the white coats standing, "Those men, in the white coats, was it them?" AJ questioned.

"I don't know." Connie said, "Linda said I knew about it."

"Of course she did." AJ hissed, "How are you gonna have the baby?" AJ questioned.

"I don't know." Connie replied.

"Is anyone else here pregnant?" AJ asked. She was trying to figure out what this hell hole was actually for, and she was starting to get a bad feeling, even worse than bad.

"No, just me." Connie nodded, "It's why I don't get the drug."

"How… How far along are you?" AJ shook her head.

"They don't tell me anything." Connie said.

"Wait… you haven't… you haven't been to a doctor?" AJ questioned as she shook her head.

"No." Connie shook her head as AJ ran her hand through her hair.

"Has anything strange gone on here? Do you see people come in who… don't fit in?" AJ questioned.

"I don't pay attention." Connie said as AJ groaned a little. It wasn't particularly helpful but it was a start.

"April." Linda called over as AJ turned around, "Time for your one on one." She nodded as AJ folded her arms and looked at Connie.

"Don't tell anyone I was asking questions." AJ told her as Connie nodded, watching her walk away.

AJ approached Linda and followed her out of the sitting room and into an office across the hall.

"I see you were talking to Connie." Linda said, walking into the office and locking the door as AJ took a seat, "She was a mess when we found her. She's got no memory of it, of the time, the date… we found out she was pregnant when she arrived her." She said as AJ looked across at her. She knew a liar when she saw one, but she just agreed and nodded.

"I assume you have a doctor on call. She looks like she's pretty far gone." AJ said.

"The baby will be born here." Linda nodded, "Now, back to you-"

"Why is there no guys here?" AJ questioned, "It's a mental institute, right? Men have mental problems too." AJ said.

"We feel it's a bad mix. Women can be so easily influenced by men. The institute is an all-women's institute." She nodded, "We've saved a lot of girls here, April. You don't have to look for evil in our home." She said as AJ looked across at her.

"Look at my black eye." AJ spat.

"Well you will be punished if you don't follow the rules here. It's a place for help but it's also a place for obedience." Linda nodded.

"How do you know Teresa?" AJ questioned, whilst looking around the office. All the drawers behind Linda appeared to be locked, and she immediately knew this room was her one-way ticket to information.

"Teresa owns the institute. I run it." Linda said, "Apart from that, I don't know her very well." She said honestly.

"And what would a drug cartel, gang family want with a mental institute?" AJ questioned.

"Well if we're being honest. Money." Linda said, "She makes good money-"

"How? This place is a dump. There's no money to be made in this business." AJ made clear, knowing that for certain. She knew something shady had to be going on in this building, there was no way there wasn't.

"There is." Linda smiled, "You don't have to be concerned about the business. You're a patient. We need to focus on you getting better." She smiled as AJ looked across at her.

"Daddy, can I facetime mommy?" Raimy asked, walking into the kitchen where her father was sitting on the computer, "Dad?" She questioned.

"Mhm." Punk nodded, "Wait, what?" He turned around.

"Can I facetime mommy?" Raimy questioned, "Like we do with you when you leave for work?" She asked.

"Uh…" Punk scratched the back of his neck, "No, babe. You can't facetime her. She's… she's not allowed her phone where she is. She's super busy." Punk nodded as Raimy's smile faded out.

"Oh." Raimy nodded sadly.

"Hey, why don't you make her something? She loves your drawings. Why don't you draw something for her getting back?" He asked her.

"I don't know." Raimy sighed, "I don't feel like drawing." She admitted, sitting on the chair as Punk tilted the laptop a little to look at her.

He'd been constantly doing research and digging into the institute where AJ was, trying to get any information that stuck out to him that could be useful. It was difficult to do that and also be there for the girls whilst they missed their mother, but he did it.

"How about this… when mommy gets home, the four of us… we'll go on vacation." Punk nodded as Raimy smiled, "Just the four of us, and we can do whatever you want." He said as Raimy smiled and nodded.

"Can't we leave Viv behind?" Raimy questioned as Punk laughed a little.

"Hey, be nice." Punk said as Raimy smirked, "You think about things you wanna do, or where you wanna go, and we'll go." He nodded as Raimy smiled and nodded.

"I will make a list." She told him as he smiled. He couldn't think of anything more wonderful than disappearing for a few weeks with his family, relaxing and having time to themselves.

"Maybe Viv can help you. Where is she?" Punk questioned.

"She's watching Spongebob." Vivian said.

"Of course." Punk nodded, shaking his head as he watched her run away into the living room.

It was hard seeing the girls struggling without their mom. There was no doubt about it, they needed AJ. She was the most amazing mother in the world, but what they were doing was for them, for their family. They just had to persevere. He hated that she was all alone but he knew better than anyone her strength.

He went back to looking on his laptop, doing whatever he could to piece together anything that perhaps AJ would find, so they could start moving forward, when suddenly there was a knock at the door.

"I'll get it!" Vivian exclaimed, tugging on Elmo and jumping off the couch as she ran out of the living room.

Punk immediately stood up and began to walk down the hall just as Vivian opened up the door, where he saw Teresa standing.

"Oh, hi puddin." Teresa crouched down to Vivian who looked at her, "Aren't you just beautiful." She admired as Punk immediately rushed to the door.

"Go back into the living room." Punk tapped Vivian who backed away and ran into the living room, closing the door over as she wasn't all too fond of how Teresa looked. She was a little scary.

"She's like a mini April." Teresa smirked, standing back up straight, "I wonder if she'll have the same reckless behaviour." She hummed.

"What do you want?" Punk shook his head.

"I want to have a chat." Teresa smiled.
