Ch 130.
This chapter was pretty good but confusing. Here Allison is in Dr KLF Manz's office. She delivers the news that The Hand is blackmailing him into helping Allison.
The blackmail situation in question is a bit complicated, having to do with a book Dr Manz wrote, which I guess only The Hand plus certain people who work at the La Garra Public Library know about, and it would be bad if everyone knew about? That was my take, anyway. Don't most libraries have their databases online now, so anyone can search through what books they have.
Then he touches her forehead and it burns and he says he's taken something from her. I feel like this was a reference to something that was mentioned earlier, but I can't find it. Probably back from Leona's time.
Anyways doesn't matter, he'll help. He explains that he works for Glendennig, and that one of his staff people had this paper and came to visit him and he helped her. Her name was Margaret Ball, and she's staying with a person named NIA BAAKO.
Then at the end he gives her a hug?
