| Inés was looking all around the room for a sign of the green monster while he spoke. | ||
| ‘What are you looking for, Inés? Not one of your green monsters, I hope?’ | ||
| The girl didn’t answer. Arturo knew her too well! Then she said, ‘They injected you with poison through a tube in your arm!’ | ||
| ‘Huh? Do you mean the drip? Honestly, Inés, sometimes you’re so paranoid! It’s to make me better! I should wait for Mum.’ | ||
| Inés didn’t know what paranoid meant, but she wasn’t going to let a little thing like the meaning of a word stop her. | ||
| ‘I’m not paranoid. I heard them talking when you were unconscious. They found your scar. They’re doing more tests. X-rays. You know what that means.’ | ||
| ‘It means they’re trying to fix me!’ | ||
| ‘It means they’ll find them!’ | ||
| ‘Find what?’ | ||
| ‘The machines! The ones they put inside you when you were a baby!’ | ||
| ‘I don’t have machines inside me!’ Arturo exclaimed. | ||
| ‘You don’t know anything, do you? Trust me, you’ve got them. Probably many. So will you get out of bed before the nurses come back?’ | ||
