Greta finally awoke several hours later, her mind was confused from the chemical. She peaked through her unusually heavy blue eyes and saw Najia Baket staring despondently in her direction.

“Greta, you’re finally awake.” Najia said with a sigh of relief. Greta nodded calmly, still somewhat dizzy to the world around her.

“What-what happened to Krammer?” Greta asked, not sure whether she would be able to celebrate his absence .

“Krammer was apprehended several hours ago. We caught him making an attempt to abduct you.” Najia explained and was glad to see relief show on her face.

“That means I don’t have to go to the Russian.” Greta said out loud, though she meant for it to be a happy thought. Najia cocked her head at this and inquired,

“The Russian?”

“Yes, he was planning to sell me to a Russian who had left the old country as a result of the revolution three years ago.” Najia looked angered at the comment and said something to herself. Greta then asked,

“If it is alright may I go to my hotel room? I need to change and get cleaned up.”


“You’ll have to use my room, I can’t tell you why.” Greta nodded, to tired to care and went to take a bath.
