As Claudia curled up on the couch, Helena followed after her, sitting down silently. When Claudia described what she last remembered, Helena closed her eyes for a brief moment. "I am sorry for what happened to Jinks." Which she was, she thought that was a needless death and only proved to her that Sykes was a complete psycopath. Could she have done something to keep Sykes from having killed Jinks? Probably not. After all, Sykes had Cecil DeMille's Riding Crop which would've stopped her anyway.
"Unfortunately, things don't get much better after that. Sykes took me to Hong Kong, heading for the Regents' Sanctum, after using the Janus Coin to put me back together, so to speak. Myka and Pete followed, and you remained with Artie at the Warehouse. The reason he needed me was because the lock on the Sanctum was made by a man named Caturanga, who was my teacher at Warehouse 12. Sykes was convinced I knew how to unlock it, but I didn't. It was a chess lock where the player began the game in check. If you won, the lock opened, if you lost, a blade would embed itself in your skull. He forced his hacker into the chair and used Cecil DeMille's Riding Crop to control me. Ultimately I made the wrong moves and that poor boy was killed. That's when Pete and Myka showed up, and Sykes forced me to put Myka in the chair." She paused to take a deep breath, hating the fact she almost got Myka killed. "I almost got Myka killed until I remembered Caturanga once told me that if the rules didn't agree with one, it was sometimes necessary to change them. I saved Myka, but Sykes' plan was enacted. He had his henchman back in South Dakota use an artifact to attack the Warehouse while the lock opened. A barrier was erected around the Warehouse to protect it, originating from the bracelet Jane wore. The Sanctum basically opened a back door to the Warehouse which Sykes and Pete entered it through."
Now would come the worst part of it. "Myka and I were Teslaed by Pete, who was now under the control of the Riding Crop and we were left behind in the Sanctum. But we managed to re-opened the door and got into the Warehouse in time to save Pete. We managed to get rid of Sykes, but the barrier around the Warehouse didn't dissipate as it should have when the threat to it was gone." She lowered her head a bit. "You were with Mrs. Frederic and Leena at the bed and breakfast, and Jane had gone through the backdoor to the Sanctum. Myka, Pete, Artie and I were still in the Warehouse." And then she fell silent, letting Claudia digest that part before she told her the worst of it.
