the door. Sweat poured down her face. She was scared beyond anything she could ever describe. Easing up to the door, she slide along the floor moving inch by inch, until finally she was able to peer inside. The room was white, with rows of bassinets all neatly lined up along the perimeters of the wall. There had to be over ten bassinets inside that one room. Moira heard something moving about inside the bassinets. She was afraid, but she knew she had to take a look inside. Crawling her way along the floor, she could see Barbara on the other side of the glass partition that separated the two rooms. The setup of the room seemed so familiar to Moira, but where had she seen it before. A noise came from one of the bassinets and when she turned to see where it came from it, the answer came to her. This room was set up like a hospital’s maternity ward baby nursery. Moira froze, as she peered back through the glass at Barbara. Moira hadn’t noticed it before but Barbara was wearing a pair of blue hospital scrubs. Moira was too scared to move and too scared to look inside one of the bassinets. She didn’t want to look, she just wished she could go back downstairs and forget she ever entered the room but she couldn’t do that. She owed it to herself to find out the truth about this house and what daddy Joe was actually up to. When Barbara turned her back to the glass partition, Moira took a look into the nearest bassinet. Clasping her hands over her mouth to keep from screaming out loud. Moira couldn’t believe what she had just seen. She slowly backed out of the room and practically sprinted to the basement door as fast as she could. Her eyes filling with little pools of tears. Her body shook and trembled from fear. Her mind was whirling a mile a minute. What kind of place was this and what kind of animals were these two people?
    Moira couldn’t even think straight. She had no recollection of how she even got back downstairs. The next thing she remembered was looking across the room at Abby.  Abby hadn’t said anything and actually she didn’t have to, because her eyes did all the speaking for her. She just stared at Moira with tears in her eyes. She was terr ified and for the first time Moira realized why. Moira knew right then, that Abby already knew what Moira had seen upstairs behind the pink door. Moira closed her eyes trying to block out the image, but it was no use. It was already imprinted on her mind. The back door slammed shut and they heard daddy Joe walking across the floor. Suddenly he stopped. They heard nothing for a few minutes, no movements and no sounds. They both tried to wipe the tears from their faces and appear as normal as possible. Moira feared that maybe he knew somehow that she had been upstairs snooping about. She didn’t want Abby to get in any trouble because she had been so nosey. That was one of her biggest fears that her curiosity would get someone else hurt. They could hear him just standing outside the basement door, but he was not moving, then they heard the door knob turn. He stood at the top of the stairs, looking down on them. Moira was scared shitless, way too scared to even look up at the door for more than a second at a time. When daddy Joe’s foot hit the first step, Moira’s bladder released a stream of urine down her leg. She stood in the puddle unable to move. Every fiber in her body screamed a silent scream. An internal scream that only she and Abby was aware of. Now she clearly understood why Abby had begun to lose her will and hope. Their future rested inside the room behind the pink colored door, if they did not find a way to escape out of this hell. Those bassinets were filled with women, at least at one time they had been women. Vibrant young women, women who had probably been right where she and Abby were now. Now those women have been reduced to being objects, living breathing objects.
    Moira couldn’t get the image of the woman in the bassinet out of her mind. It was
