He could also have been given information upon the lost girl by his client and perhaps have been told to investigate her and find her if possible or discover her fate.  She believed to have been kidnapped by the a cult elsewhere but she is unlikely to be the only victim but she is perhaps the strangest as reports of sightings of a strange wild girl have begun to surface in the local area.<br/><br/><strong>Reporter:</strong>The reporter is perhaps looking for a story which involves rumored corruption and the possibility of cover ups within the town, people have been know to go missing and vanish in Ashcroft many claimed by the sea others explained away as suicides but some suspect more sinister goings on.<br/><br/><strong>Doctor:</strong>The Doctor may wonder as to why some of the cities occupants refuse her care and what the truth is behind the old Asylum, It was supposedly closed and is abandoned but people speak of lights on and of hearing cries and noises from the place when they pass of a night.  No one dares go near the place and the gates and gardens are permanently closed to the public.  One might wonder why such a facility would be left to rot and decay and the gardens go untended.  But of more interest perhaps are the strange markings and wounds that have sometimes been found upon the bodies discovered in Ashcroft, as well as this there are rumors of strange sea life within the caves and reefs.  More than one sailor has claimed to have being bitten by large bizare leech like creatures.<br/><br/><strong>Police:</strong>It's hard to be the only female officer and it can leave one feeling left out but far more than that is the recent feeling of not being told everything.  From within the Police there seams a secrecy almost the Chief of Police and his select few officers seam to handle affairs closely and be quick to stamp out any silly rumors of murder or danger in the town of Ashcroft. More and more there seams to be a growing dislike of outsiders many of the Police seam to be taking the view that outsiders are ruining there town and cause nothing but trouble. The fact that it is usually the outsiders who end up a suicide victims or dying in horrible accidents does perhaps lend some credence to this but one could hardly call that "trouble".<br/><br/>
