Dr. Lyons smiled, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Okay, no diabetes then." He flipped the page again. "Hmmm, the STD report is missing. Excuse me for a moment."
I let out a sigh that I'd been holding ever since I left the Shifting Sands Spa. They hadn’t pumped me full of meth. They hadn't poisoned me. And if the app was to be trusted, I was STD-free.
I pulled out my phone and texted Chastity: "Got the blood work back. No drugs, no STDs." Then I went back to the Society's app and clicked onCONTRACT. Maybe that would finally give me a clue about what this crazy society was all about.
