It is wide inside, but slightly cold, and Jamie is happy that Dan asked her to wear another layer, so she doesn’t feel the cold now, she feels a bit knocked out by the wind that keeps blowing inside, but Dan, who is holding her hand, makes her feel secure.
Jamie is wearing her mask, which has a light smell of mint on it, and it keeps the humid smell in the tunnel away, so she doesn’t feel sick.
They walk for about five minutes, and Jamie feels with every minute that they reach the end, when Dan takes her hand and leads her down the stairs.
At the end of the stairs is a hall, on which both sides are different rooms, that are enclosed by metal gates. Walking on the hallway they can easily see what is inside the rooms.
“She...” Jamie looks around, and her eyes suddenly stop, her feet are taking her towards a room on the left side, until she stands in front of the gate.
Inside lies a woman, who is very skinny, the kind of skinny that happens from lack of nutrition. She seems to only have bones and skin left, her arms are hanging on her sides, the hair cover half of her face, so Jamie can’t see what she looks like.
But the shirt that she is wearing, Jamie has seen it before.
Jamie is a excellent fashion designer, she is very sensitive when it comes to clothes, and she doesn’t forget the ones she has seen before.
Even though these clothes are very dirty, but she can still see what they look like.
“Jozo?” Jamie calls out after a while.
The woman on the floor suddenly moves when she hears Jamie’s voice, she sits up slowly, and then suddenly runs towards her without Jamie expecting it at all.
Jamie’s eyes widen, and before she can react to the sudden movements, Dan has already taken her into his hug, her eyes meet the ones of the woman that are full of hate. Her heart skips a beat.
Dan knits his eyebrows, he looks at Jozo with his cold eyes, that are sharp as a blade.
Jozo starts to shiver under Dan’s stare, but she keeps looking at Jamie.
“I want to get out, let me out, I am going to sue you!” Jozo’s voice is breaking, she bangs her hands against the metal gate, if it isn’t there, she will throw herself on Jamie.
She looks very odd, no matter how much a person loses weight, it shouldn’t be this much.
Wait...
Jamie’s gaze move away from Jozo’s grimaced face, and looks at her legs that were unable to move before, “I thought her legs were...”
Jozo’s legs don’t look like they are paralyzed at all, and the way she crawled towards her just before, doesn’t look like someone who is disabled.
Jamie suddenly remembers the day she went to look for Jozo.
When she entered the house, she saw her covered legs were bend under the blanket, even though it was only for a few seconds, but Jamie thought that she might have misunderstood, but who knew...
“She is not paralyzed, it was just a trap.” Dan says with his cold voice, explaining to Jamie calmly.
“A trap? Dan, even if I was lying, I still saved your life before, you can’t treat me like this!” Jozo can’t take this capture anymore, she tries to get the gate loose, but except for the metal sound, nothing else happens.
She has enough of this, she thinks if she takes the poison, she will be able to drag it out for a while after she falls into a deep sleep. Even if Dan tries to find Jamie, as long as she doesn’t wake up, he won’t be able to ask her anything.
