Progress

On what Kendall thinks is the third day, Binx drops the pills in her mouth and she swallows them without fighting it. There's no point. Binx's said nothing to her today. Kendall waits for the pills to kick in, every fiber in her body alert to the change. It starts in her throat, the tingling sensation before it spreads. She doesn't know what the pills are but she suspects a painkiller and some sort of hallucinogen.

Her mind starts to go and she thinks she sees a dark haired man in the basement with them but he's just a shadow. He stands behind Binx and then he's gone. But it could just all be a hallucination. Nothing is real to her anymore. She imagines the crime scene.

Harry and Cara would have traced her to the big house that Binx had leased. Forensics, media, evidence markers and crime tape. She moves through the crime scene, directing the task force as if it was just another victim. "It's been too long already," she tells Cara. "I'm dead."

They are all so desperate, grimly looking between each other. "Lighten up! It's all good. At least we know who the hell she is now. Right?" They stare at her blankly. Cara cries. Hailey shoves against the technician at the door trying to get through. "You have to see this is connected to the case," Kendall tells them, her voice full of anxiety. "It's not a coincidence."

"Kendall, look at me."

Binx. She's back in the basement again. Reality folds and Kendall doesn't want to give in to her but she doesn't really have a choice so she turns her head and gives Binx the attention. There's nothing in her face. No anger, no pleasure, no nothing.

"Are you scared?" Binx asks.

Kendall thinks she sees a flash of emotion in her eyes. She's pretty sure that it's sympathy but then it's gone. "Whatever you think this is going to be like Kendall," she whispers, "it's probably going to be worse."

Day three. No clues, nothing to go on and Kendall awoke from an unsatisfying sleep to find Cara standing over her. The office light was on and Kendall was resting back in her office chair.

"You spent the night," Cara said simply. Kendall blinked the sleep from her eyes before looking around her office.

"It's just after seven." Cara stated before she placed a paper cup of coffee on the desk just in front of Kendall. Kendall's head throbbed, her teeth hurt and she rolled her neck to one side as it popped. Cara was dressed smartly as always. She smelled of perfume. The smell filled the air, it made Kendall think of summer time.

Kendall picked up the coffee and took a small sip. It was strong just the way she liked it but she winced as it went down anyway. "You're here early," Kendall said as she looked up at her best friend.

"We found a connection to the women, all of them went to Beverly Hills High School, not as teachers but as student's." Kendall quirked an eyebrow as she rubbed the grit out of her eyes, everything becoming much clearer after she did. "So Harry wants to go back."

It made sense so Kendall nodded in Cara's direction as she took another drink of the coffee. The caffeine spread a welcoming warmth through her body. There was nothing quite like the first coffee of the day.

"So what are we still doing here?" Kendall stated as she stood, her body groaned in protest, she'd been asleep in the same position for too long. She watched Cara smile at her gently.

"Hailey is bringing you a change of clothes over, she will be here just shortly. I called her before she went to work."

"Why did they call you?" Kendall asked as Hailey stood in front of her, buttoning up her shirt slowly, she was one of the few people Kendall let touch her anymore. It just felt wrong but she could handle it with Hailey for some reason.
