Katie put on her hat and then stepped to the sink to finish her hygiene off by brushing her teeth and rinsing out her mouth. She was given baking soda and peroxide to do that every morning.

Her name badge read 'LACEY' but Katie didn't make a comment on that. She figured they had their reasons and they weren't any of her business.

Warden Oliver went on her way and Clementine turned to her, "I'm supposed to shackle you and take you to the medical unit."
