I got a chance to talk to Regan alone this afternoon. I’m not sure what they did to her, but she’s been subdued almost beyond all recognition. She barely raises her eyes above the ground, and did her best to avoid speaking to me. I finally cornered her behind the chapel. She tried to leave, but I kept her with a hand around her bicep.

There’s a yellowing bruise over her left eye.

Me. Where have you been? I need you, I’ve been looking all over. What did they do to you?

Regan. Please, leave me alone. Let me go.

Me. No. Tell me what they did to you. You’re the reason I’m in this horrid mess, the least you can tell me is what I paid for.

Regan. Mess?

I explained to her what happened with Trevor, Tereza, and Jack. She looked upset at first, then almost apologetic.

Regan. I’m sorry. This is all my fault.

Me. Damn right it is. What did they do to you?

Regan. Kept me sedated for a few days. Warden Powers talked to me for awhile. Nothing I couldn’t handle.

Me. Oh yeah? That’s why you’re such a mouse? That can’t be       all.

Regan didn’t say anything, just shrugged off my hand on her arm.

Me. So that’s it then? I went through all that because of        you.

Regan. Look, I’m sorry, okay? I didn’t know you’d get in trouble.

Me. It wasn’t trouble. It’s much worse than that.

Regan. What do you want me to say?

Me. Nothing. After all I did for you, I warned you over and over, and now I have to pay for it.

Regan. Don’t worry.

Me. What?

Regan. I’ll get her back for you.

Me. Who?

Regan. Tereza.

With that, Regan left without a word. I followed her out from behind the chapel, bellowing at her to stop, I didn’t want her to just mess things up for me even more, but she wouldn’t stop. Finally a guard yelled at me to pipe down. I did.

I have no idea what’s going to happen. Whatever Regan has planned, it can’t be good. This is only going to make things worse, if they can get worse, mark my words.
