“I remember a bright light, and then my head exploded in pain.” Toby shrugged. “Honestly, my first thought was… UFO.”
Sister Pete nodded. “Or,” she said, “maybe the bright light was the duty officer shining his flashlight into your pod?”
“I really don’t remember.”
“And perhaps the pain occurred when the officer felt the need to enter the pod when you refused to separate from Chris Keller?”
Toby studied his blanket.
“I’ll talk to Tim.”
Toby raised his eyes quickly. “Sister?”
“I can’t keep losing my best assistant,” she said. “And Tobias? A little discretion, in the future?”
“Yes, Sister.”
