Kitara cowered within the grip of the tentacle, feeling a little safer now that Xylath was protecting her, but still completely terrified.  She was shrouded in darkness, with only the clammy feel of the suckers and the sound of arguing between Matthias and Xylath.  Quietly, she listened...hearing the name Jessica.<br/>"Jessica?  Is he trying to say Xylath killed her...that can't be right, the laboratory went up in flames after the nasty men came in.  The Jessica I remember died in the fire..."  She murmured to herself, feeling a little saddened as her voice trailed off.  "Maybe he was talking about a different Jessica, unless...maybe she did get out..."  Kitara's head was going in circles thinking about it and she felt a little doubt in her mind...what if Xy had killed her, no that was what the man wanted her to think, but why would he use her as an example?  Did he know of her life as an experiment...it was all so confusing.  Kitara didn't know if he was even talking about the Jessica she knew...surely there were other Jessica's in the city, the only reason he would have to mention someone by name was if he had a personal involvement with them and it would have to be a significant involvement at that.<br/>"What's your connection with Jessica?"  She cried out.  "How do you know her...and why is she the only one you mentioned by name?"  Kitara asked, prying apart a few coils of tentacle as she peered outside hoping that his words would help make sense of whatever mess her life had turned into.
