"My name?" I repeated feeling really shocked. Near nodded. "But I didn't think we were supposed to share them."

"Well, the people within Wammy's house know the real names of the children there but people outside of Wammy's house aren't mean to know. I know Mellow's." Said Near.

"Would you tell me yours?" I asked wondering what it was.

"If you want to know, then I will tell you."

"Alright. It's Heidi. Heidi Blanc, which means 'white' in French." I had always thought that my surname was a little too obvious considering I was part Arctic fox and most if me was white.

"Heidi..." Near reposted thoughtfully. "Mine is Nate River." I like that name. It fitted him perfectly. I smiled at him.

"That suits you." I said. Near looked down at the floor. He almost looked nervous. I had never seen Near look nervous before, he was always so confident and sure of himself. "Is there any more little secrets you want to know?" I asked in a playful manner.

"No, I am good for now."

"For now huh?" I repeated to myself as I went back to playing with the dominos.

It took me ages to set up and little line of dominos because they just kept falling down but when I looked up, Near had built a whole building that was as big as him. I stared at in in awe Near turned around to get some more dominos but stopped when he saw me staring at the tower of domino's

"How did you do that?" I asked not really expecting and answer.

"I don't really know."

"It's amazing." I said under my breath. Then I felt something gurgle in my stomach. I bent over and put my hand over my mouth. No not again, I thought. Near's eyes were watching me with worry and concern. I quickly stood up and ran out of the room to the bathroom across the wall. I shit the door but I didn't have time to lock it. I flung myself at the toilet and then it came. I vomited blood. It was over quickly but the burning in my throat didn't stop and my face was hot and drenched in sweat. I sighed and sat back on my knees and flushed the toilet. I felt weak and I couldn't stand up, I just needed to stay still for a bit. I sat by the toilet with my back to the wall when I noticed Near stood at the door. His face was blank though I could tell he was worried. "I'm fine." I told him.

"You vomited that amount of blood and you say you are fine." He came into the bathroom and closed the door.

"I don't think that is a good idea right now." I told him not wanting to see me vomit again, or worse if I vomited on him. He gave me a look that told me he wasn't leaving and went to the sink. What was he doing? He pulled a flannel out of the cupboard and the mouthwash to. He wetted the flannel and gave me them.

"Here, take these." I was shocked by the gesture. Especially coming from Near, I took them from him gratefully. I wiped the sweat of my face with the flannel and used the mouthwash to get rid of the taste of blood from my mouth. Near stood dead still watching me. "What's really going on?" He asked.

"I told you this happens sometimes."

"But what causes it?"

"Stress mostly."

"What are you stressed about?"

"What is there not to stress about? I'm stressed because I have been brought here and I don't feel like I have been any help." And not to mention I am really confused about the way I feel about you, I added silently in my mind.

"You are helping, a lot more than you think. Before you came here the team didn't work as well together as they do now, because some are from the FBI and some from the CIA. There was always been rivalry between the two organisations so when they all came here the brought some of that rivalry with them. You have seemed to diffuse this and they are working together very well and it is helping the investigation. Not only that but the fact that you come to the same conclusions as me makes me and the rest of the team sure that it is the right answer. Even if you can't see it you have helped a lot just by being here." I stared at Near in shock. Was all this true? Did I really do that? But how did I do that? I heard footsteps from down the hall and then I heard a loud knock on the bathroom door.

"Near, Hope are you guys in there?" The voice of Anthony came through the door. "We could really do with you both in the main room to look at some things we have found."

"We're coming." Near replied and the sound of Anthony's footsteps got quieter as he left. I took the flannel of my head and slowly got up. After putting the flannel and mouthwash away I followed Near out of the bathroom and into the main room.
