All locked.Therapy rooms were down a 3rd corridor+miscellany of utilitarian rooms, examination, med, linen rooms." pgs.23+24 ==== ==== **Therapy room-"**painted a really nasty institutional grey. Long and narrow in shape,sunny south-facing window on the far end that overlooked trees in the hospital courtyard.

== **Drake- "I didn't even realize Drake was a boy. Not only were his features soft and feminine, but his hairstyle was a girl's. He was blonde with thick, shiny, straight hair, and it was cut in what I could only describe as a bob." pg.32** == == **Cassandra- "She was a small, fine-boned girl with a pointed pixie chin and unusually distinct cheekbones. Her hair was a soft black, straight and shoulder length, but it had been rather raffishly cut, as if perhaps done by another child. Her eyes, however, defined her face." pg.1** ==

Cassandra's natural father was already serving a prison sentence for abduction and other offenses, mostly drug related. Following Cassandra's allegations, "Uncle Beck" was also arrested. He too is now in prison." pg. 365** **"Over the summer, Drake had been reassessed by a large university hospital in the city where they were living.
