Chas listened to her idea and if he was completely honest with himself, he didn't particularly like it but he knew deep down it was the best idea they had. He just didn't like the idea of someone like Serena using herself as bait, as unlike John, he had a few scruples and morals. "okay, I guess we should pack what we need. It's gonna be quite the trip as we are far from Seattle. Either a day's drive or we catch a short haul flight" he told them both, but mostly aimed his words at Serena. He then looked at John, "I know you will, but we'll be fine." he reassured his mate.

In the other room Kay had started humming to herself as she sketched away, using her fingertip every once in a while to do some blending of lines. Whilst she was drawing she had subconsciously found herself pulling her legs up on the couch, to rest her little sketchbook on her legs, using them as an easel.

"Serena is right. We can handle this one, someone needs to keep Kay out of the loop with this and even I can tell out of all of us, she'll probably listen to you if you told her to stay back" Chas explained, he didn't want to explicitly say 'I get the feeling there's a connection growing between you two' but he sure did think it. In his mind Serena made some very valid points herself and he hoped that John would back down on this one. He looked at Serena when she turned her next remarks to him, nodding in agreement and trust of what she can be capable of. Hitting him where he works made sense to Chas as it meant they could guarantee finding him.

"makes sense and yeah, some of them are. From what I can gather some of his patients are in patients and some are out patients." he replied. "like most asylums basically" he added. "though how do you suppose we even get in? Places like that are usually so high with security, it'd be like getting into Fort Knox" he commented.

Kay was completely oblivious to what was being spoken about in the kitchen, and despite being highly curious what it was as Serena was allowed to be in the room as it was discussed and not her, she still remained out of the room. That wasn't to say she hadn't put two and two together and figured it must be to do with what John heard last night about her past, but whether it was about her real birth father or her time in Seattle's asylum for youth was hard to say. Instead, she continued to sketch a landscape piece which consisted of the outside of the mill house.

In the kitchen Chas could see how enraged John was getting, knowing that kids were his weakness, espeically after losing Astra. Hearing Serena say she doesn't think it should be John because of her suspicions of his personality, Chas couldn't help but smirk darkly briefly. "Something like that" he agreed, yet when Serena replied to John's small protest and he saw how darkly Serena sounded as she gave her suggestion. "And how do you propose we do that?" he asked her. "and I agree, John shouldn't be the one to get involved in this. This needs tact and discretion and I'm sorry mate, but from the way you reacted, I get the feeling you're too personally attached to be able to see straight" he replied.

"I said the same thing to John last night on the phone but when this one gets an idea or decision into his head, you can't change it for love or money so to speak. So I did it for him anyway" Chas replied to Serena, giving his friend a smirk before going back to looking serious. "The doc is still working at the asylum, or as it now is renamed Seattle hospital of youth mental health. He still has his position as head therapist for ages 6-14 year old, where any accusations of gross misconduct/ child molestation if filed were wiped from any records. So he's getting away with it basically. His name is Dr. Joseph Lavine. Most things that go on in that place are swept under the rug and it's got a history of nurses being fired out of the blue but reasons aren't disclosed. The hospital is like this big open secret that people know its dodgy but no one says anything, or if they do they're either fired or just plain silenced and never heard from again."he began saying, deciding to let Serena and John digest that before continuing.

"when it came to Kay's time there, my contact found it highly difficult to gain access into her records. All they got was that she was emitted at aged 10, and didn't get out until aged 15. She was assigned to this Dr. Levine the entire time. What they did find was that she was subjected to electroshock therapy, diagnosed and treated like someone who had split personality disorder. She had a rough time in there massively. Her adoptive parents tried to get her out several times but after their fourth attempt all correspondence was shut down"he finished saying.

Oh jeez! Kids are surprisingly resilient when it comes to things like illnesses.

Kay took his hand to stand up, getting up onto her feet and listening to John's theory, whilst letting him take her hand and Serena's placing them together. She found herself looking down at their hands then at Serena and then at John. She tried to compute the information being told to her before looking back at Serena again as she agreed with John and continued the theory. "I..guess" she replied slowly in a way that showed she was just digesting the information, and not because of any other reason. She let go of Serena's hand, letting her go to the table where she sat down and ate more crepes before offering them to Chas also, which he gladly obliged her by going over and sitting down. At John's question, he looked up at his mate, "Probably best to chat in private about it, it's a lot to discuss" he told him back.

"what you guys talking about?" Kay asked, having absolutely no idea what Chas knew that John wanted to know. "Nothing for you to worry about Kay, just something personal" Chas replied, deciding that it would be best for John to decide if she should know after he gave him all the information he found out. "...oh right. Well, I might go doodle some more in the main room on the couch, so feel free to talk all you want" she said back, walking off to the main room and grabbing her small sketchbook and well used pencil once more. Once Chas was satisfied that Kay wouldn't hear what he was about to say, he looked at Serena this time. "What I'm about to say you gotta promise to leave it up to John whether he tells Kay. If he decides to keep this from her, then you cannot go against that decision" he told her.

Chas sheepishly rubbed the back of his head, running his hands through his hair in the process when Serena remarked on the dream/memory of his which helped greatly to bring her out of her predicament. Both he and Kay were just glad that it worked and worked well, the colour back in her face making her look a lot more healthy and well. "you're welcome" he replied. "shall we get you a drink of some kind and something to eat to raise your blood sugar levels?" he asked her. When John seemed to have a revelation about the oink between Serena and Kay, Kay couldn't help but look at him with an raised eyebrow, "what's the link?" she asked him. "or more precisely, why is there a link?" she elaborated.

Chas then looked up behind him at John, "that sort of reminds me mate, I got that stuff you wanted me to pick up last night" he told him vaguely, not wanting to be completely open about what John really wanted incase John didn't want Kay to know he was planning on hunting down the doctor from her childhood.

Chas got taken off guard when John just yanked him down to Serena's level, making him squat down. He let John explain what he was gettingat with his actions, and with Serena agreeing to his theory, he nodded and began thinking of his good dream about the day Geraldine came into his and Renee's lives. "That's an easy one, my good dream is always the memory of when Geraldine was born" he replied to her. It was incredibly sentimental but he didn't care. He loved his daughter greatly and he never shyed away from the dream memory when it came up. Kay pulled John away just enough to give Serena and Chas space, so Serena could focus without interruptions by herself or John. "It probably because of us, but we weren't to know. Lets just give them a few inches of space okay?" she suggested.

Chas shook his head, "nah, I slept absolutely fine. No nightmares or anything" he replied to his mate before hearing what else Serena had to say about what was going on with her. "a good dream just isn't something you pluck from thin air willing. So how do you suppose we help her?" Kay had to ask John, it may be down to her not fully understanding the situation but she couldn't see how they could make Serena better by grabbing a good dream. None of them seem tired enough either to try and sleep and try and source a good dream, and she herself couldn't remember the last time she had a good dream. The idea of her nightmare from last night having this impact on Serena made her also feel so guilty in some regard.
