Chapter 51

• I stood in the landing room with Daxx and Crissy. We’d come back right after the children were safely away with Liza and Anthony. Of course, Tim had to negotiate with Daxx to keep her from charging back down to fight. I’m not sure what he used to get her to come back with us, but she finally conceded.
• Currently I was standing here trying not to think about the man calling me by my mother’s name. I wasn’t succeeding so far.
• Crissy was in a corner bouncing a small ball against the wall and mumbling to herself. Daxx and the three guards didn’t seem bothered by it, so it wasn’t my place to ask if it was normal. I was coming to realize the oddest things, where she was concerned, were perfectly fine.
