| She unlocked the door of my room...~.. and came in. There was a hypodermic in her hand.I was too weak to fight her. She jammed the needleinto my arm with sadistic fervor. I could hear the wind and rain outside. I knewthe river was rising. It would be flooding soon. I couldhear a heavy knocking against the front door. Then avoice calling. A man s voice. She went over to the window and looked out."Yes?" I heard a voice shout, "Is everybody all right outhere, Mrs. Kinsolving?" "Yes. Yes, we re all right." I sat up, pushed back my sweat-plastered hair. Istarted trying to get out of bed, clinging to the footof it. I could hear another voice down there now. Itwas Red, the young bus driver who had brought mehere. "Mrs. Kinsolving," Red called, "that girl whocame out here yesterday-" Mrs. Kinsolving said in her loud, flat voice, "Shehas gone. I drove her back to the motel last night." I was on my feet, swaying. "Red-Red!" I shoutedhoarsely. She slammed the Window down and pushed meback. "They ve left," she said. "Now go to sleep." |
