Chapter 291-300

Chapter 291
Trembling, Sasha sat in the front seat of a Jeep, holding onto the Oh Shit handle above the door as the vehicle rocked and rolled across the cleared land behind the complex, toward a thick forest that stood sentry over the land to the north.

She’d barely spoken to Nick that morning, and beyond making sure that she was okay, he’d stayed quiet too. She was still trying to figure out what to say, whether the events of that morning had actually been real.

She’d woken to a soft knock on the bedroom door, and Nick’s voice, apologizing for waking her. He kept saying that the tests had to be done before she’d eaten or had anything to drink.

Sasha had still been bleary-eyed and disoriented when she sat up, then quickly became horrified at finding him in the apartment, though he was careful to keep his eyes averted and his head turned away from the gap in the door.

She was still reeling, still trying to find her bearings when he disappeared and the door opened wider to allow two medics in white coats and gloves to enter. They were both female, but somehow that just made the whole thing more surreal.

They were quiet, professional, and gentle… but Sasha found herself near tears as one provided her with a stick to pee on and ushered her to the bathroom where they checked every inch and corner before stepping her through the instructions again, then finally allowed her privacy.

She’d just stared at the door for a long moment when it closed behind the woman.
