Alison’s face was set firmly, and her young mouth compressed into a line. “I can’t,” she said stonily. Her eyes dared Natalie to argue.

“But it’s important, Alison,” Natalie explained patiently as they sat in the litter of Alison’s apartment. “I told you, a lot of people are going to be sick, and we need your help.”

“No way,” Alison shook her head. “Tristam wouldn’t like it.”

“Tristam? Who’s Tristam?” Natalie thought there had been fright in the girl’s voice when she said the name.

“No one.” She got to her feet. “I gotta go.” Then she faltered. “I know you helped Ces’lie, and all. She’d be a lot worse off if you didn’t help her. But you know how it is.”

Natalie rose, too, thinking that she did wish she knew how it was. “If you change your mind, you can find me at the Van Dreyter house. Next week.”

“You aren’t going back to the hospital?” Alison asked, her eyes narrowing.

“No.” She waited to see what effect this news might have.

Alison nodded once. “Okay. I’ll pass it on.”

Pass it on to whom? Natalie wondered as she left the apartment.
