Nothing useful

“In some psycho’s fucked up **** room, no doubt,” Greco asserted. “Hey, science girl, how the hell do these magic walls work, anyways?”

“I’m a biologist, not a physicist,” Anne answered, her brow twitching in annoyance. “Matter phasing through walls is just as confusing to me as it is to you.”

Leticia turned to Anne. “Do you have any ideas on how to get out?”

She shook her head. “Unfortunately, no.”

“Then what are we going to do?” Jen was getting nervous.

Anne shrugged. “I don’t know.” She had purchased a notebook from the point store and was using it to organize her thoughts, but so far she still had no idea about where they were or how they could get out.

“Well, that’s alright,” Ed said, trying to reassure the rest of the group. “One problem at a time. Perhaps we can first figure out how we all came to be here? Personally, the last thing I remember is going to bed for the night.”

“Same here,” Jack answered, trying to be helpful. The others nodded in agreement.

“That would explain the state of undress most of you started in,” Anne nodded, making another note in her journal.

“Besides you,” Greco pointed out, stepping forward aggressively. “Any particular explanation as to why you were fully dressed when we woke up?”

“Hey now,” Jack stepped between them.

Anne’s eyebrow twitched again. “I was taking a nap in the lab.”

“It’s true, she does it a lot,” Jack added.

“Or!” Greco raised his voice. “We’re all in a lab right now, and this is just another one of your sick experiments!”

Jen gasped, but the others looked skeptical.

“Now,” Ed spoke up, raising his arms, “Let’s not jump to conclusions.”

Greco shoved Ed and Jack out of the way and grabbed at Anne with his good hand. “I don’t have time for your bullshit experiments! Let us out of here now!”

Spittle landed in the young woman’s face, but there was no fear in her defiant gaze. “My bullshit?!”

Greco was about to slam her against the wall when Jack grabbed his arm, and Leticia gripped his shoulder. His hand was yanked off her coat, and then he was thrown backwards.

“Fucking idiots, defending her!” Greco shouted as Frank caught him and stopped his fall.

“Chief, please calm down.”

“No, you dumbass, we need to arrest that crazy woman!”
