Chapter 84

"What's your name?" Anissa asked.

The woman hesitated at first but replied anyway. "Khadijah." She mumbled under her breath.

"Are you in any pain Khadijah?" Anissa inquired. Because from where Anissa stood, she could easily tell that the young lady was in apparent discomfort from sitting on the cold stone floor and leaning against the cell wall.

Khadijah moved and rubbed her back. "Yes a little." She said. Anissa quickly turned on the cell phone in her hand. She looked if there were any signals and sure enough, they were enough to make a phone call. Anissa extended her hand between the bars towards Khadijah.

"Would you like to speak to your husband?" She said and saw that the woman immediately perked up as a smile spread on her face. She carefully got to her wobbling legs, placing a hand on her stomach as she walked towards Anissa. "Please make it quick. I can't stay here for much longer." Anissa said. Khadijah nodded and took the phone.
