Convalescing, Jennifer was starting to hate the word. Boredom, inaction, a feeling that she was wasting her time on useless diversions such as rest and relaxation (couldn't wander off and burst a blood vessel, after all--there were still psychotics out there who hadn't kidnapped and drugged her). Still, she promised her colleagues some degree of cooperation. Sitting in the apartment with a vague headache and an empty stomach, Jennifer tolerated her inactivity only long enough for the irritating power-outage to subside.
That was the end of it--she needed to do something, even if it was as mundane as a trip to the damn convenience store. Dressed in casual attire, Jennifer walked down to the lobby as she would've on any other day, stopping by the rows of mailboxes to see if anything had arrived. Momentarily distracted by someone else's presence, she turned her head as a woman with a plastic shopping bag wandered up beside her.
