Dal risks his life for Trudy To save Trudy's life, Dal has volunteered to go to his father's old surgery in sector 15, Loco territory. It's virtually a suicide mission. The Locos are everywhere, rounding up anyone they see on the street. Near the Hospital Dal takes cover, for the Locos are taking slaves. When the coast is clear, Dal goes into the Hospital and heads for the surgery. The visit is painful, for here are so many memories of his father. The books, the white coat, the photograph. Then taking what he needs from a drawer he heads back to the Mall. Time is running out for Trudy.
