Chapter 2
“Circumstances beyond my control,” Abby explained about the home invasion ... both parties ... government and diplomatic. “I’ve been ‘inconvenienced’ by purported governmental minions.”
“What about your Dad?” asked the Judge.
“He was rather vocal about governmental interference at the mine. He swore a lot ... kicked my stuffed kitten and stormed out the door. Haven’t seen him in a week,” she held up a finger. “Myndee is missing, Alice is concerned about her mom, Janna Li.”
“Figured it out, I see.” Her Honor said.
“Janna Li? Yes. Janna ... and Li. Not Jannali. I wondered about Alice ... I thought Li was Janna’s rapist.”
“You have Alice Li?”
“Janna and Alice,” Abby said, “According to Dad and Myndee, Janna had nowhere else to go, so we kept them. For years, I thought Alice was my sister.”
“Abby?”
“Yes?”
“You’re a truly nice girl.” That was a statement ... not a question. “When would you like to meet. We’ll include Alice.”
“Hold on ... door.” I said. “I’m coming ... no need to knock it down.”
