Part II: Section 35 Summary

Kathy is woken by Nadi, who insists that Kathy drink something. Kathy makes it to the bathroom before vomiting. Later, sitting on the toilet, she tries to remember what the bathroom floor had been like before. Nadi knocks, carrying a towel and bathrobe, pushing back the stray hairs from around Kathy's face, telling her to bathe and relax, that she is cooking for them. Kathy remembers the gun and leans against the wash basin. She opens the medicine chest, finding a prescription bottle of Halcion for "Mrs. N. Behrani," about three quarters full. The pills go down her throat like "little embryos of solution." She hears Behrani and Nadi speaking in Farsi, no longer enemy voices (she hopes the "Colonel's wife" won't blame herself too much). She counts the drips from the faucet, all the way up to 36.
