Helen was glad when Heather offered her hand to her, she reached out and took it grateful for the contact with reality it gave her. Heather offered her name again, Helen knew she’d told it to her before, when Heather had advised her not to move her neck too much, but she’d forgotten it, along with a lot of the other things she’d heard. She tried to speak calmly, not wanting to give any worse an impression of herself than she already had, she did not feel mad, but she was not feeling right either.<br/><br/>“Heather, yes I remember, I’m Helen, look I’m sorry if I’m not dealing with this well this has just stunned me so much…. I never thought in my wildest dreams this… this could ever happen… not to me.” She waved her hand in movement as she looked around. Heather voice remained calm and Helen was envious of the woman’s ability to be just that, calm, at least it looked that way to Helen.<br/><br/>She thought for a moment about Heather question, could she drive the bloody car that brought her here in the first place? The thought making her stomach tie up in knots.<br/><br/>“I’d like to give it a try,” she lied, hoping to convince them she was getting herself together, she looked at them, Adam had finished dressing. Heather was looking at Adam asking about their next move, Helen knew it was about moving the dead body and she wanted nothing to do with that so she started to move off.<br/><br/>“I’ll try the car; hopefully it will start up ok.” She started walking towards her car. Suppose she started to drive the car and another time shift thing happened? Maybe next time she would end up on her own? She tried to shake the fear out of her mind,<em>you’re being silly</em>, she told herself,<em>just drive the car and don’t think about it.</em>But the nagging doubts still played on her mind.<br/><br/><br/>
