"Jenn… are you still awake?"
"Yeah"
"I can't sleep"
"Me neither"
We were each lying on our bed in my big hospital room with the lights out, but considering all that happened today it wasn't that strange that we were both too unsettled to get any sleep. I obviously had physical and psychological trauma to contend with - kidnapping, torture, violence, and all that; but it must have been also traumatizing fo for Danbi to find out that her friend's family can just go and wipe out 25 men in the 'most gruesome manner' that a police officer from Violent Crime and Homicide division has ever seen must have been a pretty big shock for her as well.
"Is it okay if I ask you something, Jenn?"
"Sure"
"About that news today…"
"Please don't ask about that"
"Hey… was that-"
"Danbi, please. You are like my best friend and you saved my life… but please don't ask about that… it's not in my hands. I'm really sorry"
