This was Bennett’s first time seeing Quinlyn cry, and it shocked him. He quickly stepped forward and gently patted her back, saying, “Alright, alright. Donny wasn’t yelling at you. He just got really emotional Don’t be scared.”

Quinlyn shook her head. Her face was streaming with tears, but she showed little emotion. She simply looked quietly at Donny on the ground, clutching the document tightly.

Everyone felt heavy–hearted and their emotions toward Quinlyn were mixed. They understood that at just five years old, she couldn’t do much, but her calm recounting of the entire story seemed disturbingly indifferent and cold–hearted.

Bennett suggested that Donny take a break, but he refused. With red, tear–filled eyes, Donny said. “I’ll catch those bastards myself!” He was determined to avenge his sister.

Bennett sighed and reminded him to be polite to Quinlyn. After that, he prompted everyone to sit back down and continue the discussion.

“According to Quinlyn’s testimony and the discreet inquiries from other villagers, the victim was secretly sold into the village. The trade was very covert, unknown to most villagers.

“Here’s a question, though. If the victim didn’t lose her memory, why didn’t she speak out and ask for help?” Bennett said.

Right after Bennett spoke, another team member added. These victims must have been threatened”

Bennett nodded in agreement. “Okay, let’s start by checking family connections. We need to see if there was anything unusual around the time the victim disappeared. Donny, can we include your parents in the investigation?”

Donny spoke bitterly, “My parents have been looking for my sister for years–they’re exhausted. If they find out she endured such cruel treatment, they might break down.”

He thought it almost felt easier for them to believe Nancy just died in an accident. It was a less painful way to grieve, and that was how most families preferred to choose.

Bennett sighed, knowing the investigation would be tough, but he was ready to tackle it step by step. He turned to Quinlyn, his tone softening. “I feel bad about dragging you around right after your birthday. Let me give you a ride home.”
