– Is it the orphanage? – I hear R’ran’s voice.

– Mm-hmm. – The fifty-three orphans of ordinary people who live in an old, abandoned building, and whose existence I discovered by chance, after my PR people had blown the whistle on the new medical center for Moonchildren.

– Sorry, I can’t help you there. But as a friend, I’d advise you to knock off the building and get out of the way where you might run into Margo. As far away as possible. – He chuckles again, but I’m pretty sure I hear a nervous undertone in that laugh.

I recall the image from the photo again, though I remember only the bright green eyes, as if deliberately illuminated, and the dark strands that had fallen out of the sloppy bundle. I wouldn’t have noticed her in the crowd, wouldn’t have even held my gaze.

– The first time Nana didn’t come home for the night… – R’ran cleared his throat as if he felt bad about it. – Anyway, the next morning Margo came to my house. Through the guards. Through the locks. Safe and sound. With a hammer and nails.
