Re: Wren H/Jack C
[...] Without going into too many details, since I don't know how much of the story she'd want told, I can say that she was under the thumb of a man who treated her terribly for a long, long time. He abused her psychologically and made her think she needed him. I think he hurt her physically as well, but it was all before she came to Seattle, and she never talked much about that part of her life, with good reason, I think. He died in Seattle, so he's not around to punish her anymore.
[...] I doubt she's made a secret of her addiction to you, so I can also say that she was using when I met her, and she got clean when we left Seattle. She was seeing a man named Sid while we lived there. I think he had connections to the man who abused her, another victim. They parted ways just before we left town. I don't know if she ever saw him again.
As far as my experience with her past, that man who hurt her, and who tried to get her back while we were all living there, his name was Ian. When he found out that she was making friends outside the [...] I guess you'd call it a cult, he tracked me down. He found me at Max's, and sent his men, an arsonist and a heavy, to make a threat. They snuck into the apartment. The heavy pinned me down and made me watch the arsonist light Amanda's crib on fire while she and Max weren't there. I was to stop talking to Cerise, and vice versa, or they would hurt Max and the baby.
The arsonist is still alive. Cerise still talks to him, and I believe he's currently in Vegas. He's the man who blew up the warehouse.
