Next assignment: four young women have been caught engaged in property destruction. Neith wants to know why. She briefly interviews all of them separately and together, permitted to take the lead by her co-franchisers after briefly dickering for the spot with a behavioural development specialist. The man yields gracefully and is assigned second chair, then asks questions that in Neith’s retrospective analysis may actually have been more useful than her own. (She flags his name as a possible consultant in future cases touching his competence.) The youngsters are designated "at risk/negative synergy" and separated, sent to different parts of the country under the New Start initiative.
