I just laughed and put my head between my hands. I had the beginnings of a head-ache. Asprin time in the valley. The door to the prep room swung open ...nd one of the guys who worked at the place popped his head in. "Sorry for buggin' you guys, but there are some people here to see you." "Tell em to fuck off," I said, my head still in my hands. "Unless they're from a record label." The dude didn't know what to say. Not used to being spoken to like that, I guess. "Well..." he began and I looked up. Then she turned away from us and refused to look at us again. In fact, she turned away from everyone and everything. Locking herself in her room, mom turned off the lights and sat in the darkness weeping. When the ambulance came she didn't fight or protest. She thank them for coming and told the doctors that she deserved to be locked away. That she had been a bad mother and it was God's will that she be punished. It's been twenty years since mom was committed and now that we are older, Bell. On the way Mr Jones who I guessed was in his late forty's explained that he was glad to see me as he had to go back to blighty for 6 months though his wife would be staying on. I asked what it was we made here and he said after dinner he would explain everything.Arriving at the company house I was impressed with the size of the house which resided in several acres of land and had 3 bungalows which each had its own private garden with small bathing pool. I was escorted to a bungalow and advised. "Sorry about that Nicola. We just have a lot of missing data for you. Ohand we also have some of your forgotten property, you must have left ithere when you came in for enrolment a couple of weeks ago."Wendy handed me a large white leather bag, stuffed full of a dozen thingsthat girls used that I had no idea about. Still, I went ahead andpretended they were mine, believing I had to keep up this charade until Icould get out of there."Now I understand you have only been here one day and have yet.
