212 211 – Danger at SIMS!

Ren was jolted awake in the middle of the night by a smooth, cold something sliding up his arm. If he hadn't been accustomed to this sensation from his previous life, he would certainly have screamed instead of subconsciously recognising the culprit as his former familiar and now eldest daughter Sylvia.

"Sylvia? What's wrong?" Ren asked softly, speaking in a low voice to avoid waking Fang up. Fang had lately been suffering from nightmares – and although the frequency had reduced since the incident at the press conference, it was not yet gone.

Dr. Gordon had also taken to dropping by twice a week to drag Fang out for a 'chat' – which, Ren had no doubt, was more a therapy session than a chat. They had to resort to this because Fang insisted that he was perfectly fine and it was just a reaction which would pass over time, and refused to go for any therapy.
