A couple of nurses come running over, as if someone has just died. They push me back into my room and order me to lie down.
"Listen," I say as one of the nurses presses a firm hand on my chest, "I just needed water, I'm fine. No harm. Can you let me go please?"
They ignore me and push me on to the stretcher.
"You were seen with escaped convict 1002 at 6:23pm last night. Is this true?" A different nurse asks while another shuts and locks the door.
"I-I don't know what your talking about...unless...Pierre?" I look at the ground in confusion.
"Who is Pierre? Convict 1002's given name is Oliver Phillippe," the nurse who locked the door asked.
"Well mam, I don't know any 'Oliver Phillippe', so I best be on my way-" I go to stand up, but one of the nurses has a firm hand on my arm and isn't letting go anytime soon.
"Are you so sure about that?" She slides me a mugshot, and without a doubt, it's Pierre's face.
Was Pierre..not who he said he was? Was he a convict? Does this have something to do with him leaving me?
"Wait a second...I think I...I just need to be alone.." I stand up and push my way past the protesting nurses and out the locked door, over to the nearest door I can find and head outside. The air smells strongly of chemicals.
I lean against the railing of the balcony that over looks just a small part of the rather large city. Where was Pierre now?
If the Erckivechians knew that Pierre was a convict, if he is a convict, and Pierre was 'witnessed', do they have Pierre?!
