== Transcript ==
(The chapter opens with Jodie approaching Cole in a city park.)
Cole: Jodie! My little princess!
(Cole and Jodie embrace, both smiling. He pulls back to look at her.)
Cole: Let me look at you, girl! Oh my god, what a beautiful young woman you've become! Just as pretty as ever...a little sad and lost, like the first time I saw you.
Jodie: You can't even imagine how much I've missed you.
(Cole looks up.)
Cole: And how's Aiden, huh? 
(Aiden is heard.)
Cole: Oh yeah! Good to see you too, buddy.
Jodie: Walk with me?
(Cole takes Jodie's hand as they start walking.)
Cole: I was worried. They're looking for you...
Jodie: I had to run away. I mean, I had no choice.
(If Jodie chooses "Discreet":)
Jodie: Did you tell anyone that I called you?
Cole: No, of course not. Not even Nathan. Wouldn't do me any good to be meeting up with a known felon, now would it?
(If Jodie chooses "Dawkins":)
Jodie: How's Nathan?
Cole: Oh, he's the big boss now. He's running the DPA. He's come a long way since the days of our little lab...
(If Jodie chooses "Cole":)
Jodie: And you? What are you working on?
Cole: I'm running a small group. We're trying to classify the types of entities, see if there are different species, that kind of thing. It's not the highest priority, but I get to do what I want, so...
(If Jodie chooses "Experiments":)
Jodie: Have they made any progress on the Infraworld?
Cole: Oh, they've sunk millions into developing a new condenser, the most powerful ever created. Of course, that was only possible once the army got involved.
(The "Military" option appears.)
(If Jodie chooses "Military":)
Jodie: You're working with the army?
Cole: Nathan had no choice, really. It's funding, on the condition of exploring "possible military applications." Go figure.
(After choosing three of the above options, Jodie stops walking.)
Jodie: What I talked to you about... Did you find out anything?
Cole: On the day you were born, a woman named Norah Gray had a child in the DPA hospital. Her child was declared stillborn.
(If Jodie chooses "Norah?":)
Jodie: What else did you learn about her?
Cole: Not much. All I know is that she took part in a DPA research program some twenty years back. She also had a gift.
(If Jodie chooses "Father?":)
Jodie: And the father? Did you learn anything about him?
Cole: His name was Jonathan Nichols. He died before the birth. Heart failure. That's all I could find.
(If Jodie chooses "Where?":)
Jodie: Where is Norah now?
Cole: She was interned in a psychiatric hospital just after she gave birth. According to her file, she should still be there now.
(After choosing "Where?", two new options appear.)
(If Jodie chooses "Hospital":)
Jodie: My mother is locked up in a mental hospital?
Cole: I'm sorry, Jodie...
(If Jodie chooses "Why?":)
Jodie: My mother's been in a...in a mental hospital for twenty-four years? I mean, why? What happened?
Cole: That's all the file said. I'm so sorry.
(After choosing one of the above options:)
Jodie: I've gotta go see her.
Cole: Jodie, I know how you feel, but she's in a mental hospital. You might not get the answers you're looking for.
Jodie: I'm not looking for answers. I just need to see her. I mean, don't you understand? She's my mother. If I look her in the eye, I could find out who I truly am.
Cole: Jodie... She's in a high-security DPA facility, and you're wanted by every law enforcement agency in the country. You won't be able to walk right in.
Jodie: Nothing is gonna stop me from seeing her. Look, you've taken a huge risk helping me. Thank you, Cole.
(Jodie hugs Cole and starts to walk away.)
Cole: Hey!
(Jodie turns around.)
Cole: You didn't think I was going to let you go alone, did you?
(Jodie smiles as the chapter ends.)
