“OH no. No no no no no.”
“Then I don’t give a shit about him at all.”
I saw Sean on the 10th day.
On the 11th day, I texted him a question mark.
?
He replied, Working on it.
On the 12th day, I texted him a string of question marks.
?????????
He replied, WORKING ON IT.
On the 13th day, I was deciding on the wording of my next text – something like I guess I’m going to have to go see the Director – when he beat me to the punch.
He gets out tomorrow. Be at the East Ham facility at 0900.
‘0900’ was the time – 9:00 AM.
‘East Ham’ was a neighborhood in London.
The ‘facility’ was a former black site used for interrogation after 9/11.
I immediately feared the worst, then forced myself to calm down. They hadn’t waterboarded anyone for years.
…that I knew of.

Lars
An hour after breakfast on the 14th day, there was a knock at my cell door.
“Come in,” I said in a bored voice.
What else could I say? They always knocked, and they always came in. Me saying ‘no’ wouldn’t have affected that one way or the other.
But it wasn’t one of the agents who’d been interrogating me the past two weeks.
It was a guard, and he was carrying my suit – the one they’d taken from me the night they’d brought me here. It was on a hanger and looked cleaned and freshly pressed.
“Put it on,” the guy said. “You’re getting out.”
After I changed clothes, the guard escorted me down a concrete hallway with a dozen other metal doors like the one I’d been trapped behind.
There were no windows in them, so I had no idea if anyone was in them –
But I had my suspicions.
We were buzzed through another door, at which point we entered a lobby with a small wooden desk and peeling paint –
Where Rachel stood with Sean, her colleague who had arrested me.
“Lars!” she cried out as she ran into my arms.
