"Ok." Rachel said, more than a little uncertain. But this was Will, right? He wouldn't do anything to hurt her. She was almost sure of that.

They got into a glass elevator.

"We're gonna take you to the top level, now. Hold on, it's a fast 'vater."

"To the top," he said,pressing a button, sending the thing whooshing upwards.

"To meet with someone."

The elevator stopped in a dark room, letting the two of t hem out.

BlackHat Will was standing there, arms crossed.

"To help Sara get into Will's mind, so that we can find out what is going on with him." Rachel said "Like, why he's not shifting."

"And this involves sneaking off? Pretending to be a member of this organization?!"

Licorice restraints appeared, tying Rachel to the chair.

"I got kicked out." Rachel said, trying to remain calm "The only way to get back in was to talk my way past security."

"I came here looking for a way to help Will. Because his friends and his family are worried about him." Rachel said "Thats why I've been following the logic of this place, and bending over backwards to not alter or damage anything."

"Bending over backwards. Yeah, right. Look at yourself, all high-and-mighty. That's what all conquerors say--you come in and say you're gonna just check on a few things, maybe make a few slight twists, and the next thing you know...

...you're no better than any of them."

"I have never done anything to Will's mind without his explicit permission." Rachel said, bristling a little at the suggestion "I haven't changed anything on this trip, and I'm not going to. Because I promised Will that I wouldn't."

Now, you're in here because of the recent security breaches, am I right?"

"I felt that looking at the mindscape would help me understand how to help Will." Rachel said "He's been through a horrific experience, and is clearly not coping well."

"No, I wouldn't." Rachel said "I think that he's barely holding himself together and eventually he's going to snap, if he doesn't get help."

"No, help from a therapist." Rachel said "I was hoping that if I talk to him about what I've seen here, he might want to do that. Look, I know Will, that you, were horribly violated by telepaths. But I'm not them."

"That depends." Rachel replied "If it means I'll get kicked out, then I'd prefer not to do it until Sara is safely back in her body. Or I'd like a to be assured that I'd be let back in to get her out."
