Gray Dog notices a note hanging from the grave, it says "George, Front door". Going to Tommy's front door he finds a note, is a plastice sleeve from Jannelle. It reads, "They're all dead or dying, and i can't stop it! I didn't come to you because I might be a carrier. PLEASE go back to the mountains before you catch this horrible disease! They think that Mavon engineered it and turned it loose on us all! My mom is sick, so I am going to Portland to try to help her. I love you!" To go or stay? To nlose her forever, or go and die together? The answer came unexpectedly....
