45: Ann Sheppard

45: Ann Sheppard

Character: Madison Paige

Note:  If Madison was killed by the Doctor you will not play this chapter.

This chapter begins with Madison pulling up to the hospital on her bike.  She gets off and heads into the hospital.  At the reception desk she asks after Ann Sheppard - and is asked to sign in.  The nurse asks if you are a member of the family and you lie, but she lets slip that Sheppard has Alzheimer's disease...  That is not so good, since information is what we are seeking, and people with that particular malady are not always able to provide that particular commodity!

We want room 19 at the end of the corridor - and as we walk through the door and down the hall, notice the flowers on the cart?  Orchids! 

We arrive at room 19 and greet Mrs. Sheppard.  We ask about her son and she denies having one!  Eventually you get her to admit that she remembers her children after all, but it does not look like you are going to get what you came for.  Review your thoughts and then search the drawer of her bedside table.  Inside there is a photo that you can use to jog her memory, and then you find some origami figures on the table in her room!

The origami leads her to remembering a little more - and as you continue to search the room you find paper and an origami book on a table near the window.  Take a piece of paper and fold it, then take it to Ann Sheppard - she tells you that she loves origami but that one is not her favorite.  The one that she wants is the dog - so go back to the book and turn to the instructions with the dog photo and make that one.

Giving her the dog gets her to tell you about Max - it is a clue but you do not know the significance of it yet.  Sit on the bed and check your thoughts.  Remember that orchid in the hall?  Let's go get one of the flowers and put it in the vase  on the table beside Ann's bed, shall we?  The flower triggers another memory - this one of her other child being taken from her.

She tells you about the foster family that her son was placed with - and if you persist, you will learn... Well, we do not know what you learn because to hear the name you had to lean closer and we, the player, do not get to hear what Ann Sheppard told you!  Argh!
