The driver returned to the hotel room, following Tseng's orders to make sure the girl stayed there until further notice. She was still there on the bed, oblivious to everything. Tseng had told him that if she got difficult, there were pills in the bathroom, but she was only to get one at a time. She was worth more alive than dead from an OD.

Elena was vaguely aware that there was someone else in the room, but it was of no importance to her. Whatever the boss had injected her with, it was more potent than anything she had tried before. She lay there in its thrall, unaware of the passage of time until she felt herself waking up, confused because she didn't remember falling asleep. And she was hungry.

"So you're awake. If you're hungry, there's a bag of stuff on the table." A voice said.

Elena recognized the driver after a few moments of staring at him. Things were still so blurry…she stumbled over to the table and looked through the bag. It was all junk food, but it was food. She started to eat the donuts, but that reminded her of Reno, so she ate some chips instead. Her stomach protested the sudden influx of food, and she rushed to the bathroom to throw up.

The driver shrugged as he sat down and turned the TV on loudly to drown her out. A few minutes later, he remembered the pills were in the bathroom that she wasn't to have unless necessary. He shot up out of the chair and was relieved to find the bathroom door unlocked, but she was slumped over the toilet, barely conscious. He got her undressed and into the bathtub, cleaning her up as best he could, then getting her out and putting her back into bed after he got a bathrobe on her. Then he went into the bathroom to flush the toilet and put the pills in his pocket.

Reno approached the girls. "Have any of you seen Elena?" he asked, not surprised to get a negative answer.

"Who's your good-looking friend over there?" One of the girls asked, indicating Rude.

"Tifa!" Another girl exclaimed in dismay, grabbing at her arm. "Don't tell them anything!"

"Ask him over here. I might be persuaded to talk to him." Tifa said, wrenching her arm away from the other girl.

Reno went over to Rude and talked to him, and a couple moments later, he walked over to Tifa, who took him by the hand into the alleyway, out of everyone's sight. Reno had to listen to the other girls complaining about Tifa always stealing the best customers until Rude came back out, his clothing slightly disheveled.

"She saw Elena get into a dark car a few days ago and hasn't seen her since, that's all she knows." Rude told Reno.

"Well that's a big help." Reno pulled a napkin out of his pocket and handed it to Rude. "Wipe that lipstick off your face, will ya?"

Elena took a sip of the soup the driver had ordered from room service. He was watching her carefully, making sure she only ate a little at a time until her stomach got used to real food again. Just then the phone rang, and the driver answered it.

"Hello?" the driver said.

"How's she doing?" Tseng asked. "Is she giving you any trouble?"

"No sir."

"How long was it before she came around?"

"Quite a few hours, sir."

"Perfect. I'll be stopping by tomorrow morning, and I'll want her looking presentable." Tseng hung up.

Elena looked at the driver suspiciously as she continued to eat slowly.

"Boss will be stopping by to see you tomorrow morning. You'll want a shower before then." he told her.

Elena was cleaned up when Tseng arrived the next morning, and he promptly told the driver to leave.

"I'll want you back around 5pm. Good job, Reeve." Tseng said as he closed the door after him.

"What do you want with me now?" Elena asked Tseng.

Tseng walked over to her and caressed her cheek. "I've got some men who are very interested in you." He pulled out another syringe and gave her another dose, laying her down on the bed when she sagged against him.

The knock on the door he had been expecting came then, and he opened it to four men. "She's all yours, I'll be in the room across the hall, let me know when you're done with her."

Tseng sat watching TV in the other hotel room, pleased with himself. Those four men had very 'unique' tastes, and with Elena unaware of what was going on, there wouldn't be any trouble with them satisfying themselves with her. And she was still making money for him, even with her being out of general circulation. When they knocked on the door to let him know they were done, they were very happy to pay him.

After they had gotten in the elevator, he went in to check on Elena. She was still out of it, which made cleaning her up easier. He smeared some ointment on the marks on her back and let her sleep it off. As soon as Reeve came back, he left again to go back home, and the phone was ringing when he entered.

"Yes?" Tseng said.

"Good job. You've made four new friends who look forward to future dealings." The other person said.

"Yes sir. But she'll need at least a week to recover before she's ready for more."

"So? You've got other girls. If they want another girl, they're going to get it, understand?"

"Yes sir."

"Good." The other person hung up.

Elena slowly became aware of her surroundings again. The first thing she realized was that she hurt. Bad. She couldn't find a comfortable position in bed, so she got up and tried to hobble to the bathroom. She fell down and Reeve woke up in the chair he had been using.

"What did you do to me?" Elena demanded as he tried to help her up.

"It wasn't me!" Reeve protested.

"Don't touch me again!" Elena snapped.

Reeve was unsure what to do, then he remembered the pills in his pocket. In his haste, he grabbed two and shoved them into her mouth.

The last conscious thought that Elena had was that maybe she needed to talk to Reno after all.
