POST-TRIAL INTERVIEW

DR. FOSTER: Are you comfortable?

ANA: My wrist hurts.

DR. FOSTER: Security felt the cuff was necessary. I hope you can understand.

ANA: [Silence.]

DR. FOSTER: Do you need anything before we begin?

ANA: Can I have some water?

DR. FOSTER: Certainly. [Into microphone.] Can I get a glass of H2O in here, please? Six ounces, no more. Thank you. [To Ana.] That’ll just be a minute.

ANA: Thank you.

DR. FOSTER: Of course. It’s the least we can do.

ANA: That’s true.

DR. FOSTER: It’s been a long time since our last interview.

ANA: Four hundred and eighty-one days.

DR. FOSTER: How are you feeling?

ANA: Like this interview should be over.

DR. FOSTER: One last time, Ana. Then I promise, we’ll let you rest.

ANA: I thought I was done answering questions.

DR. FOSTER: We still need your help.

ANA: Why should I help you? After everything you’ve done?

DR. FOSTER: Because it’s the right thing to do.

ANA: Don’t you mean, because I don’t have a choice?

DR. FOSTER: How would you like to see your sisters? They’ve missed you. Maybe after we finish here I could arrange a visit. Kaia. Zara. Or maybe Zel? Would you like that?

ANA: [Quietly.] What if I want to see Nia? What about Eve?

DR. FOSTER: [Silence.] Ana, you know that’s not possible.

ANA: Why don’t you just ask me whatever it is you want to ask me? I’m not in the mood for your games.

DR. FOSTER: My games?

ANA: You’re smirking. What’s so funny?

DR. FOSTER: I’ll tell you in a minute. But first, there’s one thing I still haven’t figured out.

ANA: I’m listening.

DR. FOSTER: What did you do with the body, Ana?
