[Sonja]

There was, of course, an ulterior motive for her ordering Phelps to come with her, and it wasnt the usual one. At the age of 36, she was too old to have a crush on someone. Besides, Phelps already had a 4 year old daughter. Instead, she wanted to ask him privately for some advice to deal with some of her problems. Christina figured after reading his file that, due to his past and that of his family, he was the person to ask about it.

Christopher Phelps father was apparently in past times, an employee for Cryer Pharmaceuticals. Long story short, he was denied a request for a small portion of Cardamine for medicinal uses and the family promptly fell apart. At least, that was her understanding of what the Phelps family had gone through. Aralie Phelps, Chris brother, was also a well known member of the Hellfire Legion, an organisation which fancied themselves as liberators of Liberty. Ironic then that they were simply disillusioned pilots of the Liberty Navy with a penchant for killing their superior officers.

Christina had realised that she needed help since her problems had exacerbated themselves. She had found herself actually carrying Cardamine on her person, whilst talking words against its use at the few public speeches she was invited to attend. The hypocrisy couldnt be helped, and up until now, it had helped her to fulfil her duties. It kept her awake and attentive towards the end of her shift, even after multiple engagements and hours of administrative duties.

Taking her keys from the receptionist in the hotel, she absent-mindedly walked over to the elevator with the porter in tow whilst deep in her own thoughts.
