Chapter 36 - The Way Back

Everything is blank. Not in memory. Not in feeling, but her surroundings. She finds herself in the airport interrogation room. She had just finished puking out the rest of the cocaine marbles in the presence of officer Del Pierro. He was shocked that she swallowed four of those marbles and was still alive, after that, he placed the marbles in an evidence bag and excused himself, stating that he needed to get a notepad and get Cathy a glass of water. The white walls of the room bring her to a state of calmness. It is like the calmness that comes after a hurricane. Like everything has just been reset to the way it was before, only with the memory of the pain remaining.
