I12DT - Surely I haven't missed anything.

Samantha returned from her trip and shut the door, before leaning against it with a frustrated sigh.

Nailah, holding a cup of ice-cream, meets her in the hallway. "That doesn't sound like it went well."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sun Jul 14, 2013 6:39 pm

"It's not her," she said simply.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Jul 14, 2013 6:43 pm

"Crap. Then who is that locked up in Muir?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Sun Jul 14, 2013 7:01 pm

"We don't know. She's too damaged. She thinks she's the real thing."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Jul 14, 2013 7:46 pm

"All the more convincing for a decoy." she sighs. "Is there any chance they could recover?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Sun Jul 14, 2013 7:56 pm

"There's just so much damage. I'm not sure what can be undone."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Jul 14, 2013 8:26 pm

"I shudder to think what she does to people's minds when she has more than a day..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 12:08 am

"I've seen her handiwork on shapeshifters before."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 12:34 am

"She did quite a number on Will." she nods. "Not to mention that poor guy she had thinking he was, well, he looked remarkably like you when they found him. What ever happened to him?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 1:13 am

"Still in therapy. Long road, there."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 1:32 am

"I can only begin to imagine."

"So she's still out there. Why this charade? Just so we'd stop keeping an eye out for her?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 12:22 pm

"She might have thought we'd get overconfident. I know I was reluctant to look too deep in her mind whether it was her or not."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 12:37 pm

"Can't blame you. So what now?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 12:43 pm

"We have to find out what she was up to. I've followed some leads, but I'm not sure what they mean."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 1:05 pm

"Well, she turned herself in in Maldon, so she probably wanted us to know that she was close. Or still is."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 1:09 pm

"My research turned up a few missing women that match her modus operandi, but one of them is nagging at me. She wasn't in the area for it, but who it was is... significant."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 1:32 pm

"Well you know how I feel about coincidences."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 1:36 pm

"It was her friend. Her accomplice."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 2:07 pm

"Maybe she send somebody else after her?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 2:20 pm

"I suppose it's possible. She's still missing. A body never turned up."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 2:46 pm

"Well that doesn't have to mean much."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 3:03 pm

"Just doesn't give us much to work with, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 3:31 pm

"Not exactly, no." she frowns.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 3:35 pm

"I'm sorry I dumped all of this on you. Seemed you were having a pleasant evening."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 3:39 pm

"I did, but don't worry, if you can't unload these things on me then who can you dump them on."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 3:59 pm

"As much your business as anyone's," she nodded with a sigh.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 4:42 pm

"As much as I wish it wasn't. So what, she found another telepathic shapeshifter and then just... breaks her and tosses her at our feet?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 5:08 pm

"I can't even be certain she is a shapeshifter. If she is, the parts of her mind that control it don't seem to be very evident."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 5:14 pm

"Yet she looks like Mel."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 5:32 pm

"Aye. I just can't seem to find how to make her look any way but that."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 5:34 pm

"Maybe the Darkhold didn't just break her out..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 5:35 pm

"I'm not sure I want to contemplate that, love."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 5:40 pm

"Then maybe she just found someone who looks exactly like her. I mean I don't like the thought either, but we're running out of explanations."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 6:37 pm

"When we hauled her in... when I beat her, it was as a telepath against a telepath. I'm sorry love, but I'm just... wary of the battlefield opening up."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 6:39 pm

"And since then you've become more than that..." she says, feeling a little bit guilty that it might have been her who opened up the battlefield.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 6:43 pm

"...aye. It just seemed smaller, more manageable. Even if it meant that I was smaller too."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 6:46 pm

"She is still just one woman."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jul 16, 2013 12:28 pm

"Aye. No matter who she's fallen in with..."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jul 16, 2013 12:42 pm

"We'll find her. And we'll put her away for good." she says. She just wishes she knew that for certain.
