章 179: Chapter 179: The Sharum

DR. FRANKLER ANSWERED THE door right away, her eyes widening at the sight of Zander standing next to me.

"He's joining us," I said firmly. With a look up and down the corridor, she gestured for us to enter.

We settled into the chairs across from her desk while she sat behind it. Leaning forward, she asked, "Before I get started, did you have a question for me?"

How did she know that? Zander and I slid sidelong glances at one another, neither sure where to start. Zander spoke up first.

"Your back," he said. "You said the scar on your shoulder blades wasn't the mark of Cain. But you didn't explain. We want to know what it means."

Dr. Frankler melted into her chair looking surprised. "I told you. It means you can trust me."

"Do you have the same scars on each of your shoulder blades?" I asked.

She perked up. "How did you know? You've seen them before?"

"Yes," I said. "On--"

"On me," butted in Zander.
