Right. Not going to beat around the bush here. I think I may have done a
very stupid thing a few months ago. Amanda's little confessional journal
post had something in it about a guy called Patches.

Seems the guy has been getting around a bit, cause I've met him.

Let me tell this from the beginning:

I came across Amanda in the barn awhile ago and she was somewhat under the
weather. I got her back to her room and cleaned up and in the process got a
very good look at all the scars on her body. I would have left it there, I
don't go around kicking people when they're down. But she sent me an e-mail
the next morning, pretty much threatening my life, telling me if I ever
told anyone about the scars I'd be as good as dead.

Considering what she'd done up to that point, I got to feeling I needed to
find a way to protect myself against her. If those scars were that
important, then maybe there was a way I could use them against her if she
ever got to feeling like making good on that threat.

So, I went looking and got contacted by a person called 'The Wave' who put
me in touch with Patches.

To make a long story short, I made a deal with him. My blood for any
information he could give me on the scars. Amanda had taken to hanging
around the pool around that time so it wasn't hard to renew my memory and
give Patches some fairly good sketches of them. He contacted me awhile
later and I met him at the local mall, gave him his payment and he gave me
some information. The gist of it was that the scars on Amanda's body were
an augmentation spell to make her more powerful and considering what I
thought of her back then, I got a pretty good nudge from him that she was
evil and not to be trusted.

I've attached the stuff he gave me, so you can take a look at it.

I'll be honest. I don't know if I'm doing a smart thing coming to you with
this. I still don't really trust her and I'm not entirely sure I trust you.
I could have just played my hand and given you a way to hurt me badly if
you chose too. But she hasn't done anything to hurt anyone here
deliberately (Well, apart from me and that had other reasons.) , and from
what I can see she's been trying pretty damn hard not to hurt people. If
that doesn't earn some trust from me, I don't know what does.

I don't know what Patches can do with what I gave him, if anything, but
well, it's something I've got to let you know about. Not sure what you'll
want to do with this information but I'm leaving it in your hands.
I will say this. I don't like being played for a fool by anyone. You feel
the need to go after this Patches dude. I want in on it.

That's it. If you feel like yelling at me some, I'll be around. But I had
my reasons for doing this. They may seem pretty stupid now but it wasn't as
cut and dried back then.

Timing is something I have to work on.

I don't know if it'll help but I was still a virgin back when I gave him my blood. Patches said something about it being a commodity.

I'll let them know.

Oh, and not a word to Amanda until I say. If we're lucky, we can get whatever this turns out to be sorted out without reminding her that there are still people out there who'd like to get their hooks into her.

Pete.

Not going to say anything. Leaving it in your hands, like I said.
