Simon had no sense of time, but if he could trust his stomach it was long past lunch time. It had been painfully rattling for the last couple of hours, but he knew that if he’d complain Agnes would return and not to feed him.
He had been tossing and turning all night, unable to find a comfortable position to sleep. He probably wasn’t the only one, he imagined. Now that Debra was gone someone had to fulfill Dale’s sexual needs.
Poor Beth, Simon thought, she must feel so abandoned and betrayed.
Though he didn’t hear the door open, he did see how a dim light spread itself throughout the basement. Someone was coming downstairs, a brief yet dramatic pause between each footstep.
Simon tried to lift his head and managed to keep it up long enough to identify his visitor.
Agnes put down a bowl and opened the cage. She put the bowl inside and closed the cage again.
Simon crawled towards the bowl and looked in it. Food was in it, یا actually leftovers. It didn’t matter to him. Anything was good enough to silence his upset stomach.
Agnes was starting to turn around, when Simon remembered something.
“Wait” he کہا as loud as he could. It wasn’t مزید than a soft groan, but it was loud enough for Agnes to hear.
“What?” she snapped impatient, without facing him.
“I have to talk to Beth” Simon کہا urgent.
“No chance in hell. Beth has duties fulfill. She’s Dale’s personal assistant, and she won’t speak to anyone but him” Agnes replied cold.
“But…” Simon stammered, trying to find the right words. When he couldn’t find any he blurt out: “Can آپ tell Beth Debra will be coming back for her?”
Now Agnes turned around quickly. “Debra is dead” she snapped furious, with a strange glow in her eyes.
“I don’t believe you” Simon yelled desperate as Agnes walked away. She’s not dead! I don’t believe you! You’re lying!”
