INCAPACITATION

The walls at The Facility were as thin as paper. Part of the reason Peter still clung to a bit of his sanity (because without the walls, he wouldn’t have Adam to talk to), but part of the reason he had to fight to keep his sanity in the first place.

Bob and Elle were constantly arguing. Elle tended to talk non-stop to the Haitian, so much so about so many different, intimately personal things that Peter imagined that she must have assumed that being mute meant he didn’t understand anything, either.

But the worst part was the catching snitches of conversations and him and his family. Listening to (mostly Elle) talking about him and his ass and what Claire was doing (and lots of bitching about her, once Elle figured out how much he cared for her) and how Nathan was.

Occasionally, at the beginning, hearing about them was a miracle, a Godsend, especially right after Adam told him the truth.

But when the father and daughter team started talking about new, inventive ways to kill him for good, the panic set in.
