Doctor Patrick Sullivan's office was indeed on East Ontario Street, housed in a mirrored high-rise that you couldn't have missed if you wanted to. Not wanting to risk being spotted, Raven took a ticket and pulled into the garage that serviced the high-rise and several similar buildings nearby.

The lobby to the high-rise was done in what someone obviously thought of as 'modern chic' and Raven just thought of as 'butt ugly'. Sofas that looked as if they'd been made from the remains of castaway rafts sat in front of a free-standing gas fireplace made of mirrors. The sofas were flanked by brown wicker tables that would barely hold a full-sized magazine and the lights hanging from the ceiling looked like they'd been created by a glass-blower with hiccups.

"This might be the ugliest room I have ever seen," Levac said, staring at the décor.

"You haven't seen my mom's bedroom. Come on, let's find this doctor of yours," Raven replied, crossing the lobby to a discreet signboard.

"2187… penthouse," she said. "That's a heart-stopping surprise."

Levac pressed the up button and the two stood waiting. The building was eerily silent for a workday morning and it gave Raven the creeps. She stretched her senses, but couldn't feel or hear anything other than Levac's heart and the traffic outside.

The car arrived and the pair stepped inside. The décor from the lobby followed them. The elevator walls were made from different colored metal panels and the ceiling fixture was made from the kind of lights usually found outside city offices at Christmas. Raven felt like she was inside a giant checkerboard.

They found Doctor Sullivan's practice easily; it took up the entire penthouse. Raven was grateful the lobby's awful décor hadn't followed them to the office. Here there were comfortable white and black chairs, a plush black and white carpet and glass tables covered in a mixture of magazines and informational pamphlets. A blonde pinup was sitting behind the reception desk. She smiled as the two detectives entered.

"Welcome to Doctor Sullivan's office," the woman said with a slight southern twang. "How can I help you?"

Levac pulled out his badge. "Detectives Levac and Storm. We're looking for a little help with some medical records. Is there someone here who could answer a few questions?"

"Of course, do come into the office proper," the receptionist said.

She buzzed them through into the records office where an Asian woman greeted them.

"Good morning officers," she said. "I am Wei Lin and I would be happy to help you with whatever you need…do you have a warrant?"

"No, but we can get one," Raven said, staring into the woman's eyes. "Show us Rayne DeGrey's medical records from her breast augmentation surgery."

The woman stared back for a moment and then blinked. "Of course, detectives, I would be happy to help you."

The Asian receptionist walked into the back room and began searching through the older records. Levac watched her for a moment and then turned to Raven. "How did you do that?"

"Do what?" Raven asked.

"You
