Flashback, 5 months ago;

Campbell asked me to come to his office, before the morning debrief. So that's what I did. I was sitting in front of him, in a chair.

"You've been back to work for two weeks now." He claimed and I nodded. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm great." I stated. "I'm glad to be back."

He then pulled out a file from his desk.

"I've recieved Dr. Merrill's evaluation, I just wanted to review it with you." He said.

"What's there to discuss?" I asked. "She gave me a clean bill of health."

"Patient shows no hesitation tackling difficult goals as part of these sessions. She has reached out to her mother-"

"I'm going to!" I defended.

"-and has started a romantic relationship with a man named Edmundo."

"That's partially true." I mumbled.

"Now, I don't care if you lie to your therapist. All I care about is how your behavior affects your job." Campbell claimed.

"I don't think it has." I stated.

"You say, you're fine. And you might actually feel like that. But you're rushing through things." Campbell said. "I don't think I've seen you slow down for even a second since you came back. You go head first into situation, that you're not sure if safe."

I opened my mouth to say something but he continued.

"I just want you to make a deal with me. You're gonna go weeks, months even, feeling fine. And then you're gonna have a bad day. Just let me know when you do."

"That's it?" I questioned.

"That's it." He nodded.

"Deal." I agreed.

"Good." He said, "Then, let's get to work."

I suddenly sat up on my bed, my hand on my chest as I was taking deep breaths.

Just a bad dream, Beth.

Again.

It's been six months since I've been kidnapped by Miles.

In the beggining I was feeling fine. Well, I wasn't fine, but I was good at hiding my emotions. And I kept myself busy.

But for a few weeks now, I've been getting these nightmares. About what happend to me.

I sighed as I glanced at the clock, and saw that I was supposed to wake up for work in half an hour anyway, so I just stood up from my bed and walked to the bathroom.
