## Biography

Caring for Martha Napp

Colleen worked night shift at the Lying-In Hospital, where one of the patients, Martha Napp, discovered that her baby was missing from her crib. Martha went searching throughout the ward for her child. Colleen tried to calm her, assuring Martha that her child was fine, but Martha persisted, forcing Colleen and Matron to intervene after she threatened to call the police on Dr. James Markoe. So they forced her to the ground and injected her with a sedative.

Colleen tended to a patient with lice, who was causing her problems. Libby and Matron offered her assistance. Matron then told Colleen that Dr. Markoe needed her in his office. However, Colleen refused. Matron demanded that she go to his office even as Sara tried to intervene.

Bitsy infiltrated the Lying-In and worked alongside Colleen and helped tend to the patients, including Helen. She commented that Richard Osgood must’ve liked Helen more than he liked her. When she was with him, he gave her a bonsai. Followed by some spotfin betta. She explained that men like Osgood liked to get women like her and Helen pregnant to prove to their friends that their penis still worked. As for Helen, Osgood arranged for her to be fixed. Colleen would rather let her sleep for as long as she could rather than disturb her.

Colleen entered the drug closet to find Bitsy viewing the logs. However, she decided not to tell anyone what she saw. Bitsy thanked Colleen for not ratting her out to the Matron, insisting that she didn’t know it was the drug closet. Colleen admittedly had secrets too. When Bitsy mentioned Markoe, Colleen stormed off in an angry fit.

Bitsy apologized to Colleen for her earlier comment regarding Markoe. She then asked Colleen if she ever had a child. She did, but he didn’t make it. They tried to sterilize her as well, but she lost a lot of blood, so they left her intact, at least according to Libby. Bitsy then asked what happened to Martha Napp’s baby. Colleen became enraged and insisted that she had nothing to do with Martha Napp’s missing child and attacked Bitsy for accusing her. Bitsy ran and locked herself inside the drug closet, where Libby stood in the darkness, mouth full of charcoal. Libby then injected Bitsy with a syringe filled with poison and fled the hospital.

Colleen was taken to interrogation and asked to identify Libby from a comprehensive gallery of known criminals and associates by Captain Doyle, Byrnes, and Marcus. Colleen spotted Libby among the known criminal associates.
