Had she not been so afraid, she would have laughed at the thought. Shaw would be furious with her for missing cheer. Then she went and lay on her bed, looking up at the ceiling. She still felt nauseous from the car ride, and she washed her face in the cold water.
Taylor turned on the sink and was grateful that water came out. The people watching her from the cameras would decide when she would have lights and how hot or cold she would be.
There was neither a thermostat nor switches in the room of any kind, and she had no control over light, heat, or air. The room was lit by fluorescent lighting concealed behind thick plastic plates. The bed had one other difference she didn't fail to notice: leather restraining straps. The mattress was filled with down feathers. There was no metal of any kind used in its construction. The only thing that looked normal was the bed, which was on a wood frame. In one corner of the room there was a porcelain toilet and sink. On one wall were two chrome bars that stuck out about six inches from the wall-similar to the testing apparatus in the exam room. Mounted to each wall were surveillance cameras, speaker boxes, and other sensors designed to monitor the cell's occupant's activities. The cell Taylor was placed in was windowless and rectangular, with the walls, ceiling, and floor lined in a soft, pinkish rubber coating that resembled the material that pencil erasers are made of.
