Vega tapped her on the shoulder and she turned and followed. What he said confirmed what she had thought. She was somehow being manipulated. It seemed as if Vega knew more than she did. Something weird was going on. Lots of weird things were going on. Nightmares were real, vampires existed, and whatever the fuck this was. Her instincts said there was more to it than meets the eye.
"Marisol Guerrero," she took his offered hand. "She says they came out of the movie. The vic attacked Lucio then got scared , put him down, and he died. Right there. She's very disoriented...doesn't even know what day it is. When you ask questions she hesitates - not like she's trying to think of the answer, but like she's trying to understand the question. It's like she's drugged. She speaks with that slow gait of someone who is high. I asked her if she was here against her will. She responded "Yes, no, I don't know." Her instinct is to tell us she doesn't want to be here, but something is forcing her to say something else. That's what it feels like anyways. Lots of weird shit going on." she sighed. ”I'm certain she's being manipulated and I'm certain he's raping her."
The words were chosen specifically and if they were not out of earshot, she would have said it. In academy they told her never be certain of anything. "I got uniforms coming down to the hospital. Was planning to put her under 24 hour guard. Me, you, and family through. That's it. Anything else we should have?" there was no uncertainty in her tone, but it was clear to her that Vega had a better idea of what was going on than she did.
