Kate watched a little open-mouthed as Popov closed the cell-door and he and Amelia disappeared. She sat down hard on the edge of the lower bunk and let out a breath that she hadn't even realized she had been holding.<em>So much for trying to appeal to his common decency. </em>She rested her elbows on her knees and her head fell forward into her hands. She closed her eyes.<br/><br/><em>What state was Amelia going to come back in this time? Could she survive whatever it was the Warden had in mind for her? Maybe it was just a quiet chat? Perhaps this was something that they would all have to go through as part of their 'induction'? Maybe this time she would get her cup of tea this time... And what was that look from Popov?</em><br/><br/>Kate shivered a little; not sure whether suddenly there was a chill in the air or whether it was remembering Popov's long visual inspection of her. She shook her head and brought herself back to her immediate reality. She was alone now. Her cell was empty. The cell opposite was empty. Maybe Ella and Amelia were gone for good and all she had to look forward to by way of contact from now on was Dodds and the company of the guards between the cell and wherever Dodds wanted her. She swallowed hard at the thought of that next meeting; she couldn't imagine any way that that was going to be a good time. Surely Dodds couldn't be so stupid and gullible as to just pass on the list of drugs she had rattled off. And if he had been... actually that might make things even worse. He'd look stupid and gullible to whomsoever he had passed the information on to, presumably whilst attempting to show how good he was in getting key information quickly.<br/><br/>But then there was the new arrival. She listened; couln't hear anything but the low hum of either the facilities generators or heating system. She stood up and moved to the cell door. Leaning against them, she looked at least in the direction of the cell a little further along the corridor.<br/><br/>"Hey. Hello.... how are you settling in in there? My name is Kate."
