Chapter 37When the morning sunrays came streaming through the terrace’s door, Talya found herself alone in the room. She got up slowly. Her robe was bloodied and she knew that her arm wasn’t healing properly. She went to take a shower and got dressed with a T-shirt and linen slacks. Her arm was swollen. It needed a doctor’s attention. I gathered that what unnerved Talya the most about this whole state of affairs, was the fact that she was going to end up with her left arm in a sling and looking like a bloody invalid – again.
She seemed to pay no heed to Khalid’s absence or to Mark’s disappearance at sunrise. As for Gilford, I was certain he had many chores to which he needed to attend, such as getting rid of Steve and briefing Benny, who probably arrived during the night.
