"I'm afraid that my parents are trying to keep me from finding out about something I did hat was really bad." Phenol frowned, "What if there's a good reason that they're keeping me from my past?"

"Well, what if they're just keeping you from it jsut because, and they just don't want you to be your old self?"

"But why would the do that?"

"I don't know, but I'm willing to find out about you and I believe you feel the same." he looked at the computer, "So, you going to hack away or do you want me to do the honors?""

"No, I'll do it. You'll probably blow out the whole school's fuse before you even get into Kansas City's systems."

About five hours later, Phenol struck gold. The computer screen poured outinformation on Phenol's last visit to the doctor.

Phenol, female, last visit 4/15/97
Emergency visit. Ms. Phenol in critical conditon.

Status of Ms. Phenol: Cartiac Arrest...

Phenol looked at the screen in shock. Looking at what could have been the day she might have died.

"Bookworm," Phenol said worredly, "Come overhere."

"What's wrong?" Bookworm asked, "You look like you've just seen a ghost!

"No," Phenol shook her head, "But a year ago I wasn't that far off."

"Woah, geeze look at those marks! And you survived through all this?" Bookworm started printing out the information and photos of her burn marks. "My god!" Bookworm looked at Phenol's KAT scan, "look at this. It looks like ther is an abnormal growth in a dormant area of your brain."
