In a rare appearance at this time in the morning Tree makes his way up the mound. Roxie recognizes him as the man how drove the spikes through her wrists and feet but strangely doesn’t hold any animosity towards him. What the hell, if he didn’t someone else would have she figures.
In a hoarse voice coming from her dry mouth and throat Roxie asks if she would be allowed water. Tree tells her in 50 more minutes she could have as much as she wanted. She asks if it would prolong life. Tree says “I used to think it would. It may an hour or so but you can’t drink enough to rehydrate yourself. After 24 hours as warm as it you would need an IV to take in as much as you need.”
“Sir, how long will I last?”
“Don’t call me ‘sir’. The name is Tree. How old are you?”
“I just turned 19 a few months ago.”
Tree looks her over as he lights a Marlboro.
“You look like you are in good shape” he says. “I’d say tomorrow for sure- maybe into Friday.”
“Crap, I can’t take another night much less two! Could you do me a favor?”
Tree shrugs and tells her she may ask. “Tell Siss and Barb to stay away. I know they mean well but I don’t want to see them again.”
“They won’t like that. They spent the night chained in Primus’ dungeon being used by IMF guards so they would be allowed back up here.”
“They did? Why would they?”
“Friends do strange things for friends…”
