DEEP REST
"Cassandra? It's Liam. Liam O'Connell."
A long pause. "O'Connell? The architect? What in
God's name do you want at… what time is it?"
"I need your help, Cassandra," he said. "It's about
Dr. Evelyn Hayes. And a company called Helix
Pharma. And something called Deep Rest."
Another pause, longer this time. "Evelyn Hayes?
The neuropsychologist? I saw a news report about her
clinic being… compromised. And Helix Pharma?
That's a big name, O'Connell. What are you talking
about?"
"They kidnapped her," he blurted, the words
tumbling out in a rush. "They're trying to suppress a
cure for depression. A state called Deep Rest' It works,
Cassandra. I'm proof."
He heard a skeptical sigh. "O'Connell, are you
alright? You sound… frantic. And 'cure for
depression'? That's a bold claim. And a dangerous
one."
"They're killing people to keep it quiet!" he
insisted, his voice rising. “Doctor Hayes’s sister, she
found something. She was close to it. And now the
Doctor has it. And they're holding her. In a facility. In
the Rockies."
