Right, she is in a hotel at the moment. Brock is a mobile unit of the
DOJ. He's got his own GJ and he moves about the country. He's also got
his own Campus, PREP, and he takes Frenesi there right after Rex murders
Weed. And on page 269 he shows up at reveille. 

I'm reading these as a sort of montage. The plot line is dotted and we
can't know for sure if some of what Frenesi tells DL isn't the truth. We
know that DL doesn'e believe a lot of it and we that Frenesi is a liar,
betrayer, manipulator, but it's not all phoney bo log en uh yeah like
well he um you see and word was that he ... 

I guess one could argue that Frenesi may be taking the coffee and
tranquilizers for breakfast before she goes before the GJ sort of
voluntarily, but she's not  talking the night's drug combo, which hasn't
worn off by morning voluntarily, so she's not doing any of these things
sober and free of Brock. The fact that she lies is beside the point.
It's all just rubber stamp and pro forma. Brock has a spirit (Weed) and
a body (Frenesi) and a gun.
