Carlota was currently eating at a nearby vegan-style restaurant. She chose this because she still had insecurties about her weight due to the first nightmare she had last night. She also chose to drink some tea instead of water because of her current nightmare which made her wary of water. She looked out the window and saw a stray dog passing by the restaurant, which made her cringe as the nightmare she had earlier that day gave her a fear of dogs, with Lalo regretably included.
"This can't last forever," said Carltoa to herself, utterly stressing her problem, "I have got to find a way to get this Sadeler guy out of my mind."
She then saw a man with spectacles carrying a tray of food in fornt of her, looking flabbergasted.
"Uh, can I help you?" asked Carlota in confusion.
The man composed himself and said, "Sorry, I couldn't help but overhear you mention that name, Sadeler. As in 'Cal Sadeler'?"
"Yes?" Carlota said, nonpulsed.
The man looked around before putting his tray on Carlota's table and taking out a notepad and writing on it before ripping the note away form the pad and giving it to Carlota. Carlota took it and read its contents.
"IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE, PLEASE VISIT THE GREAT LAKES CITY MENTAL ASYLUM AFTER YOUR LUNCH-DR. SPEC."
Carlota looked suspicious after reading beforel ooking and saw that the man, Dr. Spec, is gone.
Carltoa then began to get weired out.
...
Carlota stood in fron of the very destination she was asked to look come to, the Great Lakes City Mental Asylum.
"I hope this was worth the $5.00 ticket and the 10-minute bus ride." Carlota said to herself.
She went up to the asylum door and knocked. The door opened and it revealed Dr. Spec.
"Ah, I was hoping you would come." He whispered. "Please come in."
Carlota did so and Dr. Spec looked around before closing the door. He then faced Carlota.
"You're doing a good thing by looking into the cretin inside your mind, ma'am."
"It's Carlota Casagrande," said Carlota, "And how do you know who this Sadeler guy is?"
"Well," said Dr. Specs, "Let's just say that you're not the only girl whose mind he has invaded."
Carlota looked confused, "What?"
Dr. Spec sighed, "Please follow right this way."
They soon entered a hall where there were many wailing girls, mostly in their eighteens, nineteens, or early twenties.
"What is with these girls?" Carlota asked in fear.
"Cal Sadeler," said Dr. Specs, "As I said before, you aren't the only girl who got her mind invaded by him."
Carlota looked scared, "You mean?"
"Yes," Dr. Spec said sadly, "All of these girls were victims of that horrid man. Attacking them in their dreams where people cannot help them in."
"Did he do to them what he also did to me?" asked Carlota, almost afraid to ask.
Dr. Spec looked a little confused before Carlota whispered in his ear and he suddenly gave a shocked look.
"Oh, yes." He said, confirming her fears, "Cal did that to everyone of these girls many, many times in their dreams that it drove them mad, That is why they were committed here. And the most strangest part of this is that he attacks every one in a different manner and it has gave them completely irrational fears.."
The walked over to a patient's cell.
"Take for example this poor young lady, Kelly Bennett."
Carltoa looked into her cell and saw a 21-year old girl sit in a fetal position in her room, rocking back and forth.
"My hair," said Kelly feeling her hair, "It's still here. What was that?" Kelly looked to the side with paranoia, "A trophy. Please don't let it be a trophy. I don't anyone to do something to me as a trophy!"
Carlota could only look at the girl with sympathy before turning back to Dr. Spec.
"You know, of all the times Cal appeared in my dreams, I suddenly began developing some phobias."
"Really now?" asked Dr. Spec.
"Yeah; getting fat, dogs, and water." said Carlota.
"I see."
"Why is he doing this anyway?" asked Carlota.
"Well for that," began Dr. Spec, "We'll have to go to my office."
...
In Dr. Spec office, he gave a paper with a huge description and a picture of Cal himself. Carlota began to read it.
"Cal Sadeler, age 42. Found guilty on 15 charges of sexual abuse on underage girls. Was commited to Great Lakes City Asylum where hopefully, the treatment there will cause him to rehabilitate from his predatory ways. But on his first day, he has committed suicide in his cell with a sharpened pencil. A strange thing is that he has written a phrase within his cell, 'Intret postulátio mea spiritu ambulate inter vivos'." She turned to Dr. Spec.
"I am afraid I haven't the foggiest clue what this phrase means." said Dr. Spec.
Carlota sighs as she took a picture of the file with her phone before deciding to take her leave.
"Thanks anyway, doctor." She sad as she left.
Dr. Specs looked sad, "So long Carlota, I wish that there was a way to get rid of Sadeler."
...
Carlota walked back to the cell hall. She looked at the many girls within their cells befor egetting a frightful thought
...
Carltoa is sitting in a cell, tied up in a straight-jacket and rocking back-and-forth all with a crazed grin on her face.
"It's all okay, Carlota," she said to herself in an eerily calm voice, "There are no dogs around. There's no water that will drown you. And your body is as slim as ever."
She gave a crazed giggle as, unknown to her, her family is watching her from outside with somber looks on her face.
Freida said sadly, "I cannot beleive this happened to her."
Carlos comforted her, "None of us can, deary."
Ronnie Anne gave her own sad two-cents, "The one person who is basically my big sister ends up in a funny farm."
Carl was next, "I just don't know how this oculd have happened."
Rosa then said, "Well, however it happened, this is her new home now."
The Casagrande-Santiago's lowered their heads in sadness but also submit to this fact.
...
Carlota snapped back to reality as she gave a look of fear.
"Oh, geez!" she said in shock, "If I don't find a way to get Cal out of my mind, I'm gonna end up here."
She then gave anotherl ook of fright.
"Not only that, but he will just move on to some other poor girl to put in this mental hospital."
With that, she left the hospital with a determined look on her face. She not only has to get Cal out of her head but also just get rid of him entirely.
