Fools! All of you!
If he's anything like her other lackies, he doesn't know pomegranate. In the mean time, Selest(who isn't on your side, btw), will do something horrible to Melanie, and possibly Roberta, and then you'll be fucked.

Entry 81. June 20, 2009.
[x] Stay focused and use your advantage to try getting answers out of him.
"NO! I AM TIRED OF ALL OF THIS DECEPTION! PEOPLE NEED TO START PAYING FOR THIS! AHHHH! I have the upper hand... I could beat him... I could make him pay... I trusted him..."
Felix jumps on top of George and pins him to the ground. His mind is in great conflict over what to do, but he is still unable to resist the voices' desires. He wants to beat George and make him pay. He wants to vent his anger at everything. But he has to stay calm... He has to get some answers. "Gah... Hahaha! Well played... Yes well played, Felix!" George taunts, after spitting up some blood. "Shut up! What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you doing this?" Felix yells. George struggles to get up, but Felix pushes him down even harder. "What are YOU doing?! Finish me then! Come on Felix! FINISH IT!" George shouts, his eyes wild. Felix stares at him, wanting nothing more than to grant his wish. "What have you done with Selest?!" he asks. "Hahaha! HAHAHAHA!" George bursts out in laughter. "WHERE IS SHE?" Felix screams.
Two mysterious figures watch Felix and George from out of sight. "What should we do? Shouldn't we help him?" the man asks. "No, quiet! George can take care of himself. Everything is going just fine," the woman responds. "And what about the girls?" he asks. "I have no idea who the other one was. We should be out of here before she wakes up, so we don't need to worry about it. Melanie here will be out cold for quite a while. We need to focus on getting her out now," she explains. "Right. Let's get going then. And you're sure George will be okay...?" he asks, nervous. "Yes, dammit! Come on!" she yells. The two unknown people lift the unconscious Melanie and head for the back.
The Trissany City Mall quickly plunges into chaos. After the commanding roar of Nicholas' shotgun ripped through the mall, everyone began running for their lives. Several stupid people started to gather around the entrance to Linden's, both terrified and fascinated by the scene unfolding inside. Everyone else with half a brain was pouring out of the mall not wanting to be involved in something dangerous. To make matters more crazy, the large news crew was rushing to get inside, while the mobs of shoppers were trying to get out. There is no way to describe it other than absolute chaos. "Surprised to see me, really? Oh come on, Oscar my boy, you had to realize by now we knew you've been working with Rose. Do you think we're stupid?" Nicholas mocks, standing over Oscar's twisted and bloody body. Oscar tries to respond, but he can hardly think as he tries his hardest to keep from going into shock. "What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?" Nicholas laughs. The news crew sets up as best they can outside and tries capturing the madness, much more concerned with their great new story than their safety or Oscar's life. "We're on camera now, Oscar! Better smile!" Nicholas taunts, pushing the shotgun into his mutilated leg. Oscar's entire body convulses in extreme pain.
"I really thought you were smarter, Felix... Rose speaks quite highly of you, you know. And yet you walk into such a trap so carelessly..." George grins. Felix uses all his strength to keep from pummeling George. "I won't ask again: What have you done with Selest?" Felix demands. "Hahaha! FOOL! DON'T YOU REALIZE? Yes, keep wasting time! I BEG YOU! You keep worrying about that pathetic Selest, while you fail to remember who else you invited into the spider's web!" George laughs. Felix's eyes go wide with fear. "NO! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MELANIE?" he shouts. "YOU'RE TOO LATE! ALWAYS TOO SLO-" George is cut off when Felix finally snaps and smashes his face into the ground, knocking him out cold. "No, dammit!" Felix curses, running off to search for any sign of Melanie, Roberta or Selest.
"So glad you could make it!" Nicholas shouts to the people outside Linden's. "Don't miss a moment! I promise it's going to be an explosive show!" he laughs. Oscar writhes around on the ground and finally manages to speak. "Nicholas...gah... You won't...st-...gah... Rose..." Oscar chokes. "Hahaha! Oscar do you really think you're in any position to be threatening me? YOU'RE GOING TO DIE HERE! AND YOU'RE ONLY THE BEGINNING. ALL OF YOU FOOLS BLIND ENOUGH TO TRUST AND FOLLOW ROSE. CHAD'S FREE AGAIN. ALMOST EVERYONE IS OUT OF THE WAY!" Nicholas screams, slipping further into insanity. He smashes his gun into Oscar's leg another time. "GAHHH!" Oscar screams, nearly blacking out. Nicholas swings around and rushes towards the crowd, causing most to finally scatter and run away screaming. "Stay on him!" the reporter whispers to the cameraman. "You! Move and you DIE! I have a little message for our viewers," Nicholas states, pointing his gun at the reporter. Meanwhile, the police and FBI, who arrived not long after the news crew, work on securing the mall and getting the remaining people out.
"MELANIE! SELEST! ROBERTA! ANYONE!" Felix yells, racing through the maze-like arboretum. He curses himself for being so careless again. "Why didn't you stupid voices do anything! You just made this even worse!" Felix turns into a dead end and spots Roberta lying on the ground, blood dripping from the back of her head. He rushes over to her and checks to see if she's okay. "Roberta! Roberta! Oh god what's happened..." he says, helplessly shaking her.
Outside the Arboretum de l'Harmonie, in the parking lot for employees, the two mysterious people manage to get Melanie in the backseat of the man's car. "I thought she was a friend of yours... Isn't this even a little hard for you?" he asks, getting into the driver's seat. "People are people. We have to keep our personal relations out of the way when it comes to what Rose asks of us, remember? Don't let yourself become blinded," she explains. The man is visibly having trouble doing all of this, but he starts the car and drives away without saying anything else.
The reporter and cameraman obey Nicholas, not seeing any other option. With most everyone else finally out of the mall, Nicholas takes the two men from the news crew who stayed behind into Linden's. "Hello viewers! The people of Trissany, especially! As you should all be well aware by now, I am in the Trissany City Mall and I have Oscar Kurst and these generous reporters as my hostages. I've come here today to deliver an important message. Yes, yes, I know you're probably thinking I'm mad, but you will all listen, nonetheless," Nicholas says, speech-like, into the camera. His terrifying, maniacal appearance causes the cameraman's hands to start shaking. "Haha, hold it steady now. We wouldn't anyone to miss a moment, would we?" Nicholas laughs. Oscar writhes around on the floor, soaked in the pool of his own blood. The cameraman pans over to Oscar on Nicholas' command. "THIS MAN" Nicholas bellows into the camera, "is a pathetic man. Yes, he is a very pathetic man indeed. Perhaps you all liked him. Perhaps you even all trusted him! But you have been FOOLS! This man, Oscar Kurst, works for a most evil woman. He plots to alter and maybe even END your lives! AND YOU DON'T EVEN SUSPECT HIM! WELL TODAY THAT IS GOING TO CHANGE. STARTING FROM THIS VERY MOMENT, YOU WILL ALL BEGIN TO KNOW ROSE BEVALLI!"
".....uh..." Roberta moans, finally coming to. "Oh thank goodness...I was worried..." Felix says, rejoicing at the sight of a friendly face once again. It takes Roberta several minutes to recover and say anything. "Who did this to you... Where is Melanie?" he asks, impatient and very worried. "I...I don't know... It was some employee here...well, I thought he was... He offered to help me find you and lured me here. Then he knocked me out..." she answers, rubbing her sore head. "What about Melanie? What did he do to Melanie?" Felix asks, growing frantic. "Felix...I'm sorry... We split up when we got inside... I don't where she is now..." Roberta apologizes, fully realizing the danger of the situation. Felix kicks a nearby bench and curses his foolishness once again. "We have to find her and Selest. I was tricked. This is all another trap set by Rose. I can't even trust the people I considered my friends. As bad as it is, at least I feel I can trust you more now, considering the state I found you in..." he thinks. "Heh...trust me, I have no idea what the hell is going on... I don't know why I ever bother helping anyone if this crap happens..." she complains. "Are you okay to walk?" Felix asks. "Yeah, I'll be fine. I'm tough. Let's go find Melanie and Selest!" Roberta answers.
"Sir, there is no way we're getting in there without losing those hostages. Impossible to get a shot from where he's holed up," the officer reports. "Dammit..." the chief curses, "what are our options then?" The local police and FBI in the area cooperate and try to find a solution to the quickly escalating problem inside the mall. "We rush him, and he takes everyone down and probably himself too. There's no telling what else he has set up or planned, either. It may end the situation brutally or it might even make it worse. Either way, it's not what we want," he explains. "We simply do not have enough men here, nor do we the means to deal with this kind of situation. We already called for reinforcements, but they may not make it in time. Hell, we don't know how much time we have! OR WHAT HE WANTS!" an FBI agent reports, angry. "AND I WANT TO KNOW WHO THIS ROSE BEVALLI IS ALREADY! I WANTED TO KNOW YESTERDAY!" the chief yells at his men, frustrated at their inability to find anything on her yet. The seconds to total madness tick away as the police and FBI watch the TV helplessly, completely unaware of the extent of Nicholas' plans.
"Brief intermission, folks!" Nicholas smiles, motioning for the cameraman to stop airing. "You're doing great, boys, really. You may just make it out of this alive if you keep doing so well," Nicholas says. They both look at him, frightened and regretful of their lack of concern for their own lives. "In fact, I'm feeling so kind I'm even going to spare one of you right now!" he laughs. He points his gun at the reporter, beckoning him over. Nicholas takes out a small package from his duffel bag and hands it to him. "Now, you're going to take this, walk right out the door and deliver this to the police waiting outside," Nicholas tells him. The reporter takes it very cautiously and looks at him skeptically. "Yes, I'm serious! If you do this tiny favor for me, you not only get to live but walk away from this RIGHT NOW!" he laughs. The reporter, still doubting such good luck could befall him, turns around slowly and walks out into the mall. When he realizes he really isn't going to get shot in the back, he bursts into a sprint and rushes out into safety. The police secure him instantly and ask how he got away. "He...uh, this package is for you," the reporter says, holding it out.
Felix and Roberta work their way back to the center in their search for their friends. They return to the spot where George was, but Felix stops cold when he notices there is only blood...and no George. "Sh'it! I know he was right here! I knocked him out!" Felix curses. "Are you positive this is the right spot? This place is really confusing..." Roberta wonders, hopeful. "I'm sure this is where I left him! Look at the blood! I KNOW IT-" Felix stops short when he hears someone walking towards them. They stand close together and prepare themselves. It's not George or anyone else they might have feared, however--it's Selest. "Guys, oh my God! I'm so glad I found you!" she says, joyfully, running over to them. Roberta instantly eases up and wraps her arms around Selest. "You're alright! I was so worried Selest!" Roberta says, breaking into tears. Felix isn't as happy to see Selest, though. He is suddenly suspicious of how Selest could have gotten away. "I was too... That was so crazy... He came out of nowhere! This strange man...and grabbed me... I kept trying to scream, but he was covering my mouth and he was strong... When he heard how close Felix was, he just hit me over the head out of the blue..." she explains, pointing to the fresh bruise on her forehead. Felix listens carefully to Selest's story, but a lot of it doesn't seem to fit together for him. Now more than ever, Felix looks at Selest as more of a potential threat than a friend.

No more wasting time. Questioning Selest will get you as much as answers as you got from George, but I don't trust Selest at all after that little incident.
I think that basically confirmed Clarissa as the mystery woman, unless it's a new character.
