"There, there Beth. Just try and focus on your breathing." Debbie said holding the younger woman in her arms.
"Debbie...What?...Who...My God. I can't be in here!" A panicked Beth said in between breaths trying to break away from Debbie's embrace. Debbie held Beth shoulders tight before looking her in the eyes.
"Beth you have to listen to me. This all ties back to that giant woman you saw on tv. That bag of bones is, or I guess was, her husband. She ate him and then puked him out. That's also why it smells so bad." Debbie said wishing she didn't have to spill all these details but knowing it was the only way she could keep Beth here in the room with her."
"But why did she eat her husband?" Beth said now seemingly more level headed than before.
"Because...because he cheated on her while she was pregnant." Debbie lied. The nurse knew that she couldn't confess to Beth the role she had played in Cody's demise. Also she hoped that portraying Cody as a cheater would play towards the young lab assistant's emotional side.
"That bastard. He deserves what he got and worse." Beth said with an air of rage.
Debbie smiled knowing her lie had worked like a charm on the naive lab assistant.
"Yes. Yes he does. But now we have to focus on stopping her before she hurts any innocents."
"Yeah you're right Mrs. Jordan. Thanks for explaining it all to me. What should we do?" Beth said perking up a bit.
"You just relax here for a minute. I'll get you a glass of water and check in with my husband for a status update." Debbie said as she guided Beth towards a small futon before heading back into the lab room.
Debbie walked with a bit of pep in her step and adrenaline knowing she just diffused what could've been a very bad situation. Thank goodness Beth was such a dolt that she was willing to believe anything Debbie said. Debbie couldn't help but feel guilty as she walked pass the bag of Cody's remains that Beth had carelessly dropped on the floor. She hated the idea of speaking ill of the dead but it was the only way she could get Beth to trust her. And that was all that mattered at the moment.
As Debbie grabbed a paper cup and went over to the sink she heard the familiar busy of a vibrating phone. Looking over towards one of the lab tables she saw the phone shake before it stopped and something popped up on the screen. In her panic Beth must have run out without grabbing her phone. Debbie picked it up and when the screen lit up saw it was from her husband, Steve. Now curiosity got the better of Debbie. What kind of exchanges was the Beth having with her husband. Lucky for Debbie Beth was too dumb to set any sort of security on her phone. Debbie opened the phone and saw...
