Zala hit the pause button. She thought back to what the children had said coming in from the zoo months ago, and how she’d barely listened. No wonder Leah had selected particular tapes for her to type. Zala continued. She wanted to have it all beautifully typed and waiting when Leah came calling. And she’d have to, for Zala decided she would not be returning to the room over the bookstore. She would make Leah come to her.

LEAH: In assembling the medical data on the missing and murdered children, what did you have in mind in terms of the “agent”? Are you specifically looking for the sickle cell trait or disease in their histories? I understand sickling interferes with the output of the substance that suppresses the body’s manufacturing of interferon. In other words, those with a history of sickle cell produce interferon in above average amounts. Is that so?

DOCTOR: Ah, I’ve heard about Dick Gregory’s lecture. Of course, he’s not a medical man.

LEAH: What’s the value of interferon?

DOCTOR: It functions in the immune system as a defense.

KENTI: I want to go home.

DOCTOR: In other words, it’s valuable in cancer research? I understand there’s a growing market for it in longevity research. An acquaintance recently informed me that a Swiss clinic, long known for use of lamb placenta, is now using interferon.
