![]() ![]() When Nancy got to Melanie Dotson's hospital room she found a worried mother talking to her daughter. All of sudden Nancy didn't feel like she belonged there. She introduced herself anyway and was surprised to hear from Melanie that Roger had talked about his friend Nancy McGill quite a bit. Melanie was glad to finally be able to connect a face with all the stories Roger had been telling. It felt to Nancy like the girl's attitude was also saying she could handle the competition. Competition? For Roger Tango? Had she pressed the Twilight Zone button on the elevator or what!?Putting those unthinkable thoughts behind her, Nancy told Melanie she was pretty worried about Roger and wondered if Melanie could help her find him. The fact that Roger was not found at the scene had been kept from the young girl though. Melanie's mother explained she felt it was for the best given all the stress her daughter had been through. The girl could tell it was serious trouble so she went through a detailed story of her date with Roger. As she came to the end, Melanie seemed to be recalling some details for the first time. She struggled to describe one last faint memory. The metallic gas tube striking the gear shift lever and then the red gas flooding the car. The memories were too much for the kid. She sank down into the hospital bed covers looking for protection. Her mother asked Nancy to leave which was okay. Nancy had what she came for and the girl wasn't going to remember much more anyway. Nancy knew her worst fears were confirmed. Roger had been taken by someone for some reason and it didn't sound like they were amateurs.
