to him, but I kept that to myself.
    He came closer into the bedroom. “Have you been able to remember anything?”
    I gave a half shrug.
    “Don’t be worried. Your mind is only blocking a traumatic experience to protect itself.” His voice was soft and calm. He talked as if he were speaking to a child.
    I gave another half shrug.
    “When you are feeling a little better maybe I can give you a tour of the property. We can see if that jogs any of your memories.”
    The only memory I had right now was of my small twin mattress laying on my bedroom floor. I could not afford anything more than that, yet here I was sleeping on the most comfortable bed I have ever seen. I could not afford three meals a day, yet here I was splurging on wonderful food I would have never thought I would get the chance to eat. I was paying my way through school, so money was very tight. At one point, I had attempted to work two jobs and go to school full time. I laughed to myself. I soon realized that that was impossible if I actually wanted to pass my classes. I wondered if anyone even realized I was missing.
    Sadness overcame me. Probably not. I did not have any family, nor did I have special relationships with people. I always kept to myself. It was easier that way. I think talking with Dr. Lynn was the most human interaction I had with one person.
    My thoughts turned devious. I finally made eye contact with him. “I would love a tour of the forest. It’s beautiful out there.”
    He looked surprised. “You hate the forest. You always said it was dirty and disgusting in there. You never wanted to get your clothes dirty or dirt under your nails. You were a lady, not a barbarian.”
    Evelyn sure was something. “I do not recall.”
    He nodded his head. “Right. Well, maybe when Stephan gets back I can see if he can assign some soldiers to stand guard while I show you around.”
    Annoyance prickled at me. How was I supposed to find an escape route if we have the military surrounding us? “Why would we need soldiers to accompany us?”
    This time, sadness overtook him. “It’s dangerous out there. We can never be too sure if security got breached.”
    The rebels popped into my head. All this military for three young people? Something wasn’t adding up. I kept my mouth shut about the people I saw in the woods. I don’t know why, but I felt like I shouldn’t bring them up. Even though they admitted to the bombing and pointed a gun at me, I found myself unable to say anything. They could have finished me, but they didn’t. They could have finished who they thought was Evelyn.
    “Where are we?” I asked, picking at a hangnail.
    Silence. I looked up to see him give me an astonished look.
    “You don’t know the basics of where we are? Your head was hit harder than I thought.” He shoved his hand through his gray hair and seemed to get a little stressed.
    I asked another question. “If I was hit by a bomb, then why am I not in a hospital?”
    Dr. Lynn pursed his lips and crossed his arms. “You were hit by a bomb in a very public place. Now say we took you to the hospital at The Unit. That is another very public place and you could get hurt just as easily there as you did at the media meeting.”
    The Unit. That’s what the soldier’s uniforms said. “Why would a soldier try and kill me?”
    “I mean if security got breached.” I could sense Dr. Lynn’s patience running thin. He did not like this topic.
    “Security can be breached here. You pointed that out earlier.”
    “It is less likely in a smaller more confined space.”
    We were doing a dance. “Still a possibility.”
    “Evelyn…” His tone held a warning.
    Now my temper flared. “Don’t Evelyn me.” I snapped.
    A stunned look crossed his face. “I meant no disrespect. I apologize. Your new personality makes me very relaxed around you. That was highly unprofessional of me.” He seemed almost fearful.
    My spine stiffened. Who was this Evelyn that caused such fear?
