Her agreement satisfied Xander.


    "Good girl," he said, yfully pinching her nose.


    But Yvonne was still fuming and turned her head away, refusing to y along.


    Seeing her pout, Xander chuckled softly. "After you see the doctor, I''ll take you out for a great meal."


    Yvonne said nothing. A great meal? Did this man have any idea they were in


    Litamark, the heart of ck Gate''s territory? The entire organization was in chaos. If any of their agents saw her and Xander casually strolling around, they''d probably try to kill them on sight.


    The therapist Shawn had found was now in a room alone with Yvonne. Xander sat on the sofa outside, a lit cigar between his fingers. Shawn sighed beside him.


    "I just don''t see it. Someone with Yvonne''s personality... how could she have a mental breakdown?"


    Even after finding the doctor, Shawn couldn''t believe it. In his mind, Yvonne was the type to give other people mental breakdowns, not have one herself. Who on earth could possibly break her? It was unbelievable,pletely unbelievable!


    Xander ignored him, taking a drag from his cigar.


    "One little problem with Hull, and she starts throwing up?" Shawn mused.


    ''One little problem?'' Hearing that, Xander shot Shawn a cool nce. He let out a soft, humorlessugh. "You think it''s just ''one little problem with Hull''?"


    "Huh?"


    "Have you forgotten what Hull means to Ronald?"


    Shawn fell silent. Right. He knew. Hull was incredibly important to Ronald.


    "But it shouldn''t be enough to give Princess Yvonne aplex, right? If Hull and Ronald really had a falling out, would Ronald just abandon his own sister?"


    As Shawn saw it, Yvonne had the entire Quinn family behind her. There was no reason for her to be so stressed that it was making her physically ill.


    Xander snorted. "That''s because you don''t know how much of her heart is tied up in the Quinn family."


    Shawn didn''t know? Of course he


    knew. Everyone knew how much Stilf


    Yvonne loved her family.


    Shawn felt that couldn''t be the real


    reason she was sick. The pressure couldn''t be that bad.


    Just as they were about to say more, a loud ''BANG'' echoed from the room, followed


    by Yvonne''s explosive roar.


    "Get out! Get the hell out! Where did you find this quack? Get him the hell away from me!"


    "You''re the crazy one! You belong in a padded cell!"


    "You son of a bitch... I''ll kill you! You''re the one who belongs in a cell, you and your whole damn family!"


    The doctor was thrown out of the room, stumbling. Xander''s brow furrowed. Shawn was frozen in shock.


    The doctor scrambled to his feet, adjusting his sses. Shawn rushed over to help him up. "What..... what happened?"


    "She''s insane! Completely unhinged! You need to get her to a psychiatric hospital, now!" the doctor yelled angrily.


    Just then, an object flew out of the room and smacked him square on the forehead. With a dull thud, the doctor nearly passed out.


    Shawn''s eyes widened. What the...


    "Lunatic! Psycho!" the doctor cursed, clutching his head as he stormed off.


    Shawn looked at the furious Yvonne in the doorway,pletely bewildered.


    "What was that piece of garbage?


    Came in here without a license and


    you want me to believe he''s a


    doctor? Don''t you know you brought apsycho here?" Yvonne raged.


    "What?" Shawn was lost. He''d called a doctor, not a psycho!


    Yvonne grabbed a ss of water and


    it at him. "What kind


    ist tries to perfor


    surgery on their first meeting?"


    gret


    Shawn stared nkly. Xander froze. The words ''perform surgery'' exploded in their


    minds, leaving them utterly stunned.
