Thanks Raze!
Yea I just read somewhere that he was supposed to be where you said in the hidden text but he was not. He was still in the room wearing that stupid hat. Did not think of him as I just referenced him in my mind as simply Doc.
Ok so I'll not worry about him now. Thing is I read somewhere that after you get through the battle tower you can not come back to Broken Valley except for the mine area. The woman in your mind even warns you in the battle tower after you read that book. IE:Do everything now or you can't later.
