In reply to: Niko 's message, "(He was humming a song that had been on the radio on the way to the hospital even when they had been settled into a consultation room. The nurse had come in and taken Skye's weight, blood preasure, temp and other readings and then left the two of them to wait for the doctor. He had started to get bored and that damn song was stuck in his head, so after a few seconds silence.. he started humming. He looked the picture of calm and cool, in faded jeans and a black wool sweater, his hair a few weeks past due for a trim and a few days worth of growth shadowing his face. He tapped his left hand on his knee as he hummed, getting into the song, his eyes wandering the room and the many instruments and diagrams.)" on Tue, Dec 20 2005, 9:03pm PST

She stiffened at Niko's question, her eyes squeezing shut as she shook her head. She knew this was going to come back to her, she couldn't believe she had tried to act like it hadn't happened. It had happened and she couldn't get away from it. The outward scars may be gone but the internal ones would never go away and now these men were causing her even more pain even though they were locked behind bars hundreds of miles away. Her breath turned ragged as the thoughts of what they had done to her started accosting her mind, her heart picking up pace as she swallowed, shifting in the bed as if trying to get away from the memories. "I told them no..Niko..I swear to god I did.." She gasped out, the words choked on a sob that was lodged deep in her throat. (NT) -- Skye, Tue, Dec 20 2005, 10:25pm PST
