“We have the adulte segarated, but the kids me together, they all seem scared. The two women are very concerned about the lids. I think they are their caretaken and possibly the mothers of some of them,” Raff says when we arrive

“Have they said anything useful?” Mace asks as we follow aff down a long corridor.

“Nothing, but we haven’t started questioning them yet. Wave just been getting them comfortable, they’ve all been given food and water, which the ldds accepted eagerly the adults still haven’t touched it,” he explains.

Haff leads us into a small room with a window that shows to the room next door. A young female, who can’t be more than 30 years old, sits at a table in the otherwise empty room. Her eyes are locked on the plate of food in front of her. She rocks backwards and forwards slightly in her chair and her lips move as if she is talking, but I can’t hear what she is saying.

“She looks so fragile,” sage says, her tone not hiding her ness.

“What is she saying?” ask.

“Nothing audible. The mic is on, if she makes a noise you’ll hear it,” Raff points to a speaker mounted in the corner of the room.

“She doesn’t strike me as a high–ranking rogue, unless she is an amazing actress, then all I see is a scared young woman who has not had the best life. She is clearly malnourished, but yet she hasn’t touched the food. Either she thinks there’s something dangerous in it or there’s something else going on here,” Deacon says,

“Do you want to question her? My guy can be a little intimidating, and I’m not sure if that’s the best approach with this one,” Raff asks D.

‘Sure, I can remain impartial with her,” Deacon nods, and admire his self–control.

Deacon and Raff leave the room, and moments later we see them step into the room next door. The girl doesn’t react to them, just continues rocking and talking silently.
