Discarded, But Deadlier
A chill ran down my spine, and I quickly answered, "I won't! I promise!"
Running out of patience, the orderly pinched my cheeks and said, "Just smile already!"
With practiced efficiency, I flashed a textbook-perfect smile at the orderly. Then, I raised my head and saw Noah Howell.
He was leaning by the car with his head lowered, taking a drag of his cigarette.
Noticing my approach, he snuffed out the cigarette and opened the car door. In a commanding tone, he said, "Get inside."
"Thank you, Mr. Howell!" I thanked him fearfully before getting into the car.
