Once again, I find that I am learning more and more about these characters. I had initially planned another section to this part, but my word count kept growing and growing. Hopefully the result is not too wordy. It seems Zeigh's issues are getting a little worse. I think that she really misses Karma. And Aife, who has spent years as a loner, is obviously losing her patience with Zeigh. I hope I did not overdo her rambling too much. I wanted it to be annoying to Aife, but endearing to the reader.

The hardest thing to do this time was to decide exactly what I was going to write in Ileana's section. I decided that she and Karma need to have a framework in which their future communications exist. Once I decided that, the words began to flow fairly easily. I had no idea that Ileana would be as cruel as she seems to be.

Hopefully, you readers will enjoy this part. And, oh yeah, this is supposed to be a thriller. I hope the obtain enough skill to get the reader to fret over the future of a character or two... 

Finally, we met Bethesda long, long ago in part 1!
