Anna sat down gently in the chair opposite of Doc.
“I talked to him before I went to see you, so he isn’t dead or anything. Still paranoid
though, about people that might be after him. I told him what had happened of the last few

Anna leaned back a little, thinking about where to start and what to say.
“You know me and Jake were engaged right? Well, the Outcasts chased us down for the
things we did. They didn’t seem to like it. They caught me and Jake on Barrier gate. I may
only speak of luck that I’m still alive.”
Anna paused for a moment and sighed.
“They killed Jake …”
“… and took me to Malta for some further questioning. They let me go, though. But they
left a trace. I suppose you can guess what sort of trace. Cardamine. ”
“So I came here to ask some advice, I spoke to some people who were addicted to it. And I
heard that getting rid of it isn’t really easy either. Most fingers pointed towards you, saying
you were one of the most experienced people when it came down to these sort of matters.”
“Although, I myself am not too sure I want to get rid of it, after hearing the stories about
some people who have been ‘fixed’. Hearing all the drawbacks from it.”
“I know that in the past I haven’t acted as I should towards you and others but people can
change, right? All I need is your advice, what sort of advice would you give to me?”
