Chapter 26 Finding Kimberly 12

• Still holed up at the Ashfield Motel, Kimberly's mind raced with memories. She flashed back to the last time she saw a syringe - the one her mother wielded, injecting a substance that disrupted her system. The memory ignited a firestorm of panic and rage within her.
• “Get that away from me!” Kimberly spat at the receptionist, her eyes fixed on the syringe held mid-air.
• The receptionist, seemingly unfazed, nodded to the man beside her. “Hold her firmly,” she instructed, her voice firm and detached.
