BALTHAZAR Bathroom Lovin' (situations)


Lauren

Lauren is the sister of one of the girls who was kidnapped. Just like her sister, Lauren is trait positive.
A Sister Missing

Lauren was first spotted by Steve and Terrence. Believing that the girls recently kidnapped may have had some connection to Kate's killer, they made their way to the home of the latest abducted girl. Though they merely wanted to ask some questions regarding the kidnapping, they met a distraught Lauren, the sister of the latest kidnapped girl. Threatening them as well as calling them names such as "pervs" and "nonces," she made it clear she had no desire to believe a word they were saying, arguing, "What's next? You gonna get me a couple of sweets or take me to see the puppies in your car?"

While the boys were unsuccessful, Charlie and Julia managed to convince Lauren to come to a clinic specialized in Lauren's ailment (see below). Unfortunately, Lauren became absolutely irate with Charlie and Julia the next day, upon spotting the two chatting with Steve and Terrence. Just before she started attacking with a cricket bat, she shouted, "What, you think you can act all matey and concerned around me and then let these two paedos come and kidnap me?"

While the constant badgering was enough to convince Lauren that she was indeed in danger due to her connection with the drug trial, Lauren has currently chosen to believe that both Charlie and Steve are involved with the kidnappings, especially because as she points out, "I can't help wondering how her and that freak Steve know so much about it." No longer trusting the people that could help her the most, Lauren has perhaps become more in danger than she has ever been.

Drug Trial

Like Kate, Lauren and her sister went to Dr. William Griffin, where they believed they were part of a drug trial that was said to prevent Endometriosis. Unfortunately for the trial participants, Dr. Griffin's was actually trying to artificially create trait positive girls. Though he was successful, the pathogen used to harvest the girls virtually destroyed their immune systems, which means that Lauren's life may end unpleasantly soon.
