Anna wasn't sure how long she had been walking.

It had been a long time, to be sure--hours, at least. Everything seemed relieving and horrible and surreal, suffused with a hazy dream-like quality that made her wonder if she wasn't indeed asleep after all--wasn't strapped to that terrible cold table again that cradled her neck just so, perhaps anesthetized to the point where she could only dream of freedom. Or perhaps they had opened her head this time, peeled her scalp back and her long blonde hair--it was growing faster than she was ever used to dealing with at home, and probably full of tangles by now--, drilled a hole into her skull to lower in electrodes and force hallucinations that completely overwhelmed whatever was really happening.

Lorenzo had been willing enough to support the injured woman as they went along. Not that he'd had much of a choice, the procedures and captivity had obviously taken a toll on her just as it had Red and for as emotionally and socially incapable as she might have thought him to be, he was at least smart enough to try and keep her from moving anymore than she had to.
