She might be the only one to have first hand experience with the criminal justice system and the Toronto underworld. You know the phrase, "If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail"? Laura prefers her strengths in pharmaceuticals over an unknown, like writing poetry.<br /><br />Those questions will get answered at some point.

Also, she doesn't seem to be able to get drugging off her mind. Does basement living do that to a person?<br />Here's another interesting thing to consider - why didn't whoever took the students return for more? Was it because it was a crime of opportunity, that cannot be repeated? Was it because they only needed a certain number of girls? Or was it because the ones who were left behind were somehow immune to the invitation?Gregory Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06547180132612659893noreply@blogger.com
