Ptolemy Baddock. Is he dead yet? He needs to be.

He's no longer on the 'nonlethal force only' list, but he's still alive, so far as I know.

He's not a high priority, since Jason believes he's left New London and gone into hiding. Should he be?

[alt_ron]

Sorry.

I've been with Ginny, trying to find out if it's true.

It is. Ptolemy Baddock raped her. Seduced her. Whatever. She's in love with him maybe even, but he used what they did to her to get her sleep with him. And of course she did. I mean, it's not like she could've said no, is it? Or would've. She-

I asked her about him. I mean, I got her talking about the wireless programme, and she said his name, so I asked what he was like, and she just went to bits. Seriously. She kept crying and crying. Like her heart's broken. I- She was better by the time I left. Reading something.


Do we know where Baddock is?

I want to make him beg to die.

[alt_rachel]

Personally?

[alt_rachel]

And we don't currently know where he is. I'll see what I can find out.

[alt_rachel]

And there's no such thing as 'seduction' when the other person is your brainwashed prisoner. Even if you sat them down for a nice dinner first, rather than threatening them with more cruciatus if they don't do what you want.

Did you tell the Healer what you found out?

[alt_ron]

Personally, yeah.

[alt_ron]

All right. Yeah. I get why you're asking. And, no, I don't want someone to hold off if they've got a shot at him. I just want him dead, even if it's not me who gets the chance to do it.

[alt_rachel]

Good.

[alt_ron]

Oh.

No, I didn't tell the Healer, but I should do, shouldn't I?


Thing is she thinks she wanted to. I think. And I think she misses him and wants to be back with him. She's really-

I can't see she's ever going to be right, y'know?


And, ugh. That's probably a reason it'd be good if someone else goes and takes Baddock out, because- it would make it even harder, being there with her. Not sure I could really-

I just want to know he's dead. Yesterday.

[alt_rachel]

The Healer may already know, or at least suspect, but yes. I can send her a note, if you'd prefer.

And be patient. She's only been back with us for a week. She'll recover.
