Mitch knew exactly what Hurley as trying to do. He was trying to get a rise out of him. Why else would he keep mentioning Katrina? "So what? Are we just meant to be miserable and alone forever? Is that what you're telling me?" He didn't believe that. Especially right now with being able to be semi-normal while in Preya.
Of course Hurley found a strange of Lydia's hair on the couch. Nothing he could do about it now. And he was right, there wren't many red heads running around Preya. It wouldn't take the old spook long to figure out who she is. "What are you doing to do? Hm? Find her, scare her off? She's not so easy to scare." He paused for amoment before asking, "Why did you come here? I don't mean my apartment either. I mean here in Preya." Everyone had a reason. That was the point of this place, so what was Hurley's reason?
