It wasn't like time really matter anymore, anyway, but it was a slice of normalcy, as the older folks called it. Keeping track of time kept everyday things on a routine of sorts. “Near the end of it, I think. If that clock's right,” she said, nodding to the battery-powered clock on the wall. Who knew how often those were checked, though. For all she knew, she'd been here for days instead of hours.
Damn, small talk was boring. Maddie shook her head, wondering why she was humoring the question and not simply ignoring it. Talking about the time was almost as bad as talking about the weather.
However, when April asked her next question, it almost made Maddie make an evasive comment about how nice the weather was getting to be. Instead, she shrugged a shoulder. “I'm not alone,” she pointed out. “You're here. And some people were here before.” Equally evasive, but at least it was an answer to the girl's question.
“Oh. I don't think he ever asked my brother about checking him out either.” Maddie paused, letting her own words sink in. She snorted. “Man, if Zach wasn't a medic, what I just said could totally be taken a different way.”
The smirk she was wearing faded slightly when April mentioned DJ. It triggered her defensive older sister switch. That was another part of why she wanted to get to know April. Maddie didn't like the thought of some random girl - especially one so closely related to Luke and the slutty Stripper – taking advantage of DJ. “Haven't seen him today,” she said, turning her attention back to the board and throwing the first dart. It came just shy of the center. “He's probably hiding out in his cell, though. Reading or something boring like that.”
