Cassie heard the voice at the door,<em>Oh God who can that be?</em>, she thought. She didn't have time to do anything else, since se was being ushered into Maddy's office. She only hoped Maddy, and whoever it was were going to be alright.  As she and Toni were locked in, Cassie began to shake, her arms were hurting her. She bit her lip. She had used all her "get out of jail free" cards already, but she had to try to ask for mercy." Please, untie Toni from my wrists, my arms are burning. I need to put them down. Keep the cuff on, just please let me move my arms." She hoped there was some mercy left for her and he would let her arms rest while they were in the room.
