"Okay..." I reply, with a nod. I sit down in front of the map and begin to falsify the rest of the information I haven't researched. Which is a lot...

Lilia returns to her room to let Shura work. She is very afraid, and when she tries to sleep, she finds that she is too nervous to. Instead, she sits up in her bed, praying to God that nothing happens to them.

Cambridge and Tom arrive back in London and unpack their things. Cambridge heads right back to the party office, without staying long at the place since sie has a lot on hir mind and wants to get to work on that campaign concerning Mary Blackcross, the American woman who was killed in prison under mysterious circumstances. Sie checks in with the others at the party office to see if anyone has heard anything new about the incident.

When we get back I stay in the apartment to get things settled in. I tell Cambridge that I will join hir shortly, and get started organizing my papers to take to the office with me.

When my plane lands I get a taxi to the WSM office, sinec I doubt my friends will be at the apartment right now. When I see Cambridge I say "Hey! How've you been?"

"Oh hey." Cambridge says with a wave of hir hand. Sie didn't expect to see Selja so soon. Sie looks up from hir work for a moment, smiles, but then looks down and continues reading. "Not much has been found out about Mary Blackcross." Sie says. "It's frustrating."

"Oh. Well I would have thought you would have found something..." I say, really disappointed that she is talking politics right this minute, since I did just get home. But I hide that.

"The details are pretty vague and no one seems to know anything. I guess some party members should head to America and try interviewing fellow prisoners or the guard that was on duty if we want to find out something." Cambridge says and doesn't notice that Selja is disappointed. "Oh, and Tom and I went to see his family for a couple days. It's why I am so behind on my work. I have to remember not to take time off. I have a million things to write. We need more people in the party since it is hard to meet the deadline each month for articles."

Within a half an hour I have everything arranged and leave for the WSM office. It doesn't take me long to arrive, and when I do I see that Selja is there. "Well hello again. Long time no see." I say, and turn to Cambridge. "Well I got those reports on prison incidents you wanted here."

"Ah okay." I say. "Well I had a good time in Helsinki, but I'm glad to be back. I need to try to work more..."

"Oh, thanks Tom." Cambirdge replies and takes the reports. Sie looks them over and is pleased for a moment, but hir mind is distracted by other things. "I wonder what ever happened to Cassius. You know, he was a real swell guy. I haven't seen him since France." Then sie remembers France and how sie promised sie would return and help out with the anarchist stuff there. That work is a lot more meaningful than the articals sie has been writing. Sie becomes frustrated that sie can't be in more than one place at once. "That's good you had a nice time." Cambridge replies to Selja.

"Well I want to try to help." I say, and pick up some reports and start leafing through them. I am confused by a lot of this, but the only way I can learn is to try.

"You shouldn't work right now. I mean, you are probably due any day now. You shouldl really just take it easy." Cambridge suggests to Selja. Sie continues to type up hir latest story, but is concerned about Selja over doing things.

As if on cue my water breaks as she is speaking. "Oh my! What just happened? Er, I need to get to the hospital!"

When this happens, Cambridge freaks out. This is the epitome of femaleness, and it disturbs Cambridge, who has serious gender issues. Rather than calling an ambulance, sie freezes as if sie is having some kind of flashback or trauma from a war experience. Sie stands there with a blank look on hir face. Sie turns pale and becomes shakey. Without a word, sie leaves the room and vomits in a waste paper basket outside the office. In this strange trance, sie leaves the office, leaving Selja to the care of other staff members, who rush to her aid. Meanwhile, Cambridge simply disappears and no one in the office saw where sie went.
