Well, this had taken an unexpected turn, but this was not a good person and it was arguably better than using a painstik or cutting off her fingers or flaying the skin from her body and salting the wound.

A hand waved from the other side of the holographic drone, and Lauren stepped into view, wearing one of her signature flouncy sundresses.

Somebody asked me how I thought this up. The answer is a little silly. I have never watched the TV show "House", but I saw a few minutes of an episode one day where Dr. House used his amnesiac patient's antibodies to learn about them. Somehow I remembered that little snippet of the house I wat...
