From 'Leah stared at her' >>> 'Frank had woken up' the Draft 0 story thickens with unpredicted detail - Toni is taken aback at Leah's reaction which hinges on take this pill (unquestioned) and endure interrogation - and the appearance of a further character, Frank, briefly at the top and tail of this chapter.

There's a sense of urgent necessity in Leah's pushing Toni to remember and in so doing establish a timeline ... which suggests that Leah knows more than Toni had a clue about, which seems, somewhat confirmed when Leah fills in the spoken words that Toni can't reach to recall: chilling.

I'm beginning to think that there is something criminal in the mix but as to what it might be it's too early to say. And Isaac has been dead for three chapters but SJ seems taken with a suggestion that he should reappear, or would resurrection be the better way of thinking about the possible return of a gun shot to the head blood every where cadaver.

I text B. "Could be we have a case of a cadaver who is going to come back in from the cold."

B's back in jiffy "πŸ€”". I was making a joke but B's taken me seriously. And that 'jiffy' makes me wonder if he's keeping his πŸ‘β€πŸ—¨ on me?

I'm getting in deeper, now wanting to know more about who Frank is (was he the guy strapped into the electric chair hardwired through the colander sat on his head?) and what the consequences of Leah taking her πŸ‘€ taken off her work in the control room might be?

So, with things stirring my curiosity, it looks like I'll be 🧾ing on into Chapter 4.
