The word negotiations was sounded in the back of my mind. The impression of a trumpet sounding and down came the walls of 'Jericho'. A blinding flash through an open door ... into the sunlight ... another flash ... another ... eyes strained by the flash photography. Late at night ... the early hours of the morning. A trail I'm being led by someone who was abused by substance abuse ... on the other side ... connecting through the veils. A heroin addict. Perhaps more than one. There may be two. A girl painfully thin. A man. Barely 20 it seems. There is group of sufferers here. Brought together in a place ... a kinship and a belonging. A constant craving for them. Scrutinised by watching eyes through cameras in surrounding so white and clinical. They enquire if it has changed at all. The craving will be the same for each and everyone ... but does the new found techniques clear the haze and end the craving. They've moved on ... and the records are closed. A group of five ... early in the pioneering days. A reluctance to trust it seems. This appears behind a wall. Hidden behind a wall. A wall is not as solid as it appears. Between the two leaves there is a space. Within are the missing files. The building refurbished several times ... but that mental stench remains. These seem to be forgotten. Like so many but it is time to understand their plight?
How relevant or not is this to this mystery? Why have they appeared just now ... ??? I fail to understand.
