"Richard?" Nicholas questioned almost as though needing Desire to repeat it, as he shook his head and soon added.

"RICHARD? being the one to drug me? that's insane!" And with this Desire shook her head and soon added.

"NO!" Nicholas barked angrily, as Kit and Desire appeared concerned; while Nicholas shook his head and soon added.

"RICHARD was like a brother to me alright?...we ...why would he?"

".....Can you tell us a little bit more about Richard?" Kit asked with some concern it seemed, as Nicholas shook his head and soon added.

"It doesn't MATTER what I tell you because RICHARD didn't do this, he wouldn't have!"

"Back up a moment...did you ever meet this woman he had something with?" Kit asked as Nicholas looked at her with some confusion it seemed before he soon added.

"No, why does it matter?"
