"Helen?" James Watson walked slowly into the room, placing a hand on his friend's shoulder. She didn't move, or acknowledge his presence.

They stood in silence for a long while. "What am I supposed to do, James?" she whispered. He could hear the heartbreak in her voice and cursed John Druitt into the fiery pits of Hell for what he done.

"I'm pregnant, James." A tear slipped down her cheek, "With John's child. What do I do?"

For that, he had no answer.
