Lane County Security Hospital
4:26 p.m.
“This is a bad idea, Cassie.”
“Relax. It’s not like we’re meeting for brunch. It’s a maximum security
hospital.”
“Was that supposed to make me feel better?”
This time, Cal’s words were met with silence.
A gust of wind slammed into Cassandra Ryan as she stared up at the
gray, brick building looming into the sky. Feeling Cal’s eyes on her, Cass
pulled a tendril of short hair from the corner of her mouth and kept her
focus on the hospital. She hoped he didn’t see the goosebumps that had
risen all over her entire body. Maybe the leather skirt had been a mistake.
No, she told herself firmly. The leather skirt was never a mistake.
Even though, this morning, Cal had taken one look at her and said, “Do
you actually want him to kill you?”
Cass hadn’t dignified this with a response.
Lane County Security Hospital was exactly how she’d imagined a place
like this would be. Mysterious. Gloomy. A little frightening, if Cass was
being honest, which she certainly wasn’t right now. But the whole thing did
look like a scene right out of a horror movie, and any normal person would
be freaked out. The narrow windows were visibly barred on the inside.
There was a single, barren tree to the left of the front doors, and its dozens
of branches reached out like skeletal arms.
Cass let out a breath and reached up to muss her bangs. She reminded
herself why she’d come here—to get some answers. Answers to questions
that had haunted her for months.
Ever since the night the person she loved most in the world had died in
the Hudson River.
This thought was exactly the motivation Cass needed. Before the boy at
her side could make another attempt to reason with her, she launched
forward and started up the stairs leading to a set of double doors, her black
boots squeaking from the abrupt movement. Cal made an exasperated sound
and went after her, quickly catching up in just a few long-legged strides.
The white sleeves of his letterman jacket and his sandy hair stood out
starkly against the bleak building.
At the top of the steps, Cass yanked one of the doors open and gave it a
hard shove, allowing Cal enough time to slip inside behind her. The room
was smaller than she expected, hardly more than four plastic chairs, a door,
and a clear wall on the opposite side of the dim space. A woman sat behind
it, her head down.
Her short, permed hair was dyed red and she wore a
sweater that was striped like an Easter egg. As Cass and Cal approached,
the woman took a long drink from a coffee mug with an image of Mickey
Mouse along its side. Then she set the mug down and put a lit cigarette
between her lips.
