Chem Fatale

Written by Todd Prescott Peters — 2003

Government officials have surrounded Malibu's most elite rehabilitation center, the Chemical Addiction, Therapy, and Treatment Institute. Founded by Dr. Sellers and his wife, the CATTI Resort is an exclusive women's treatment spa. Firefighters have been summoned to subdue a suspicious fire. While the situation is under control, Dr. Sellers has not been located. The following women were found at the scene:

The CATTI Staff

Connie Sniffler Crystal Cravens MaryJane Hampton

A former runway model and recovered addict, Connie now helps her patients overcome their demons. While her marriage to Dr. Sellers was unsuccessful, the two stay amicable for the sake of their work.
Dr. Sellers recently rewarded Crystal's tireless dedication as Head Nurse with a promotion to Facility Administrator. She couldn't be happier even though it leaves no time for a social life.
Maryjane owns a chain of organic restaurants which has led to her own syndicated cooking show. As Dr. Sellers' close friend, she has agreed to fill in as Patient Nutritionist while her show is on hiatus.

The CATTI Patients

Gina Dousin Alexis Highroller Katie Baker

This wild-child has certainly made an impression during her stay. As the only female member of the rock group GHB, her destructive behavior has been well documented by the tabloids.
A former Vegas showgirl, Alexis is no stranger to treatment centers. It seems as if dancing and drugs were her only loves. Now a struggling lounge singer, she is once again trying to get her life in order.
An NYU film student, Katie has already earned impressive honors. Sadly her sudden success was followed by addiction. She seems a sure shot in the movie industry, if she can regain her artistic focus.
