Colin Feaster's POV

If you were to ask my opinion, I think Dr. Cable's going a little nutty. She's gotten a little to in to this taking down the Smoke thing. But don't tell her that. The thing's she can do and would do would scare anyone, even a Special.

Take the Smokies, for instance. When they brought them back to headquarters, Dr. Cable was so giddy that you'd thing she chugged a whole bottle of wine without taking a breath. She was practically dancing for joy. Then she immediately took this one Smokey girl under the knife. Shay, I think her name is. Anyway, Dr. Cable made up these super lesions for Shay, and used them in her operation. They scar most of the temporal lobe*! Honestly, I was surprised that the girl wasn't completely crazy when she woke up!

Anyway, these lesions don't only just scar more areas of her mind, they're impossible to remove completely. Even the city's lesion removal pills won't do the job. You need special surgery to do the job. But that's not my problem. That's not even the reason I thing the Doc is loopy.

Yesterday, Cable took that Az person into surgery and killed him with her mind erasing techniques. You should've seen the look on his wife's face when Cable went in and said that he'd croaked! I thought she'd go mental! She didn't even cry. Then Cable gave her this 'You'll be next' threat.

I don't know what will happen next. Cable's still nuts over loosing David and Tally. But I know one thing. I don't want to get in the doctor's way.

*For those of you non-neurology buffs, the temporal lobe is the part of the brain responsible for memory. a couple other things, but its key function is memory.
