I went to a shrink ... to analyze my dreams

by Madison Tate

Das’ call was not frantic, but we still managed to get the urgency of the situation. Martha was alive and would soon be loaded into an ambulance. If we wanted to speak with her our window was closing quickly.
 
We piled into the van with Drake in the driver’s seat. On our way to Martha’s place, Toby recounts their lunch date. Apparently, Martha was also a day drinker. She had been drunk and scared of something. Toby said he offered her protection. Scarlett was being proactive in her own way. She dug through one of the trunks in the back of the van and pulled out what looked like a convincing police badge. Toby made it a point not to notice this blatant misdemeanor.
 
As we arrive, we see a shaken-up Martha being loaded onto a waiting ambulance. We separate and Scarlett and Sylvie go up to Martha’s apartment. Later they explain that Sylvie kept Das occupied while Scarlett searched the apartment for something to help us. She found letters and a business card for a psychiatrist.

Das is sending some evidence for DNA testing, but the results won’t be ready for at least 24 hours.
 
Drake, Toby, and I stayed on the street level with Martha. Drake scouted the perimeter and noticed someone suspicious wearing an MC cut for “The Errants”. Drake said that MC is from the Whitecliff area of VC. Toby speaks with Martha and she confirmed that she was indeed attacked again by the skin-head. She claims he is a crazed fan of hers. She is obviously scared and hiding something.
 
After regrouping we split again, and I went with Toby back to The Washboard to speak with Sammy. Sammy was setting up when we arrived, and he had no idea Martha had been attacked. He looked so nervous; his eyes were flitting around. He tried calling for Syrus, but eventually Toby got him to tell us that there was another altercation after Darnell’s death the other night.
 
Scarlett, Sylvie, and Drake went to the Perrin Medical Health Clinic from the business card found in Martha’s apartment. If she wouldn’t talk to us, maybe she spilled her secrets to her shrink. It was worth a visit. Drake tried to gain entry as a plumber, but the guard was a bit too good at his job to allow them entry. Scarlett calls the security desk claiming to be Dr. Perrin and insisted Drake be given access to the office suites. The guard finally agrees and alerts them that Dr. Knight was currently working in the suites.
 
Finally, once in the office they searched for Martha’s file, but realized it had been checked out by Dr. Knight. Sylvie searches through the names of other patients and only finds Ross Bancroft (Tiffany’s husband). None of the other victims were patients. She does find a file for our patron, Zoe Addams. It is different from all the other files, like they were detective notes from a cold case file instead of patient notes. The documents dated from the 1940s to 1990s. It included an entry that claimed Zoe had been lynched in 1962.
 
A glass breaks somewhere on the floor of office suites.
 
Drake created a scenario to distract Dr. Knight. She went with him but tried some mentalist bullshit. She offers him treatment, which he declines.
 
Sylvie concluded her findings to the group with an unexpected question, “Did you guys know Zoe Addams is dead?”
