After getting Stephanie safely into the hands of Hank and Cecilia and into the surgery, Rachel took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Brooke needed to be told, and Ray had to be the one to do it. Not that the redhead was remotely looking forward to it.

Despite Ms. Wyngarde's paranoia, Rachel didn't keep track of where Brooke was at all times. There were plenty of other people leery about her presence at the school to do that. So, Rachel hadn't noticed Brooke had been gone all night.

She was in her office, cleaning up the tea and things for Brooke's appointment. It would be one place where Rachel knew the empath would be. Also, she could tell Brooke without an audience.
