Flexibility by Haiza Tyri

Flexibility

            Psychological flexibility. That was what Sydney found in the shipping container where Jarod had imprisoned Miss Parker and Mr. Lyle for several days. One warning sign—Do Not Push This Button—to trap them, for Mr. Lyle, who despised and did not understand him. Another—Do Not Pull This Lever—to release them, for Miss Parker, who understood him and did not understand herself. One man would think up one of those signs, another the other, but who would think up both of them? Jarod. He manipulated two different people two different ways, using one method. Flexibility. He would survive.
