"I wanted to go home," Anna admitted in a whisper. "Margaret said I wasn't allowed, but I couldn't find her, and I didn't know where to go..."

Anna shrugged. "I was supposed to go to school, I guess," Anna said, picking up one of the hot pockets and not looking at him.

Anna shook her head. "I'm sick... He wanted me to get better."

"Do you throw up sometimes, then? Does it hurt?" Being sick was a perfectly rational reason to keep a kid away from school for some time, but if it was long enough child services got involved Vincent was worried she'd been hurt.

Anna shook her head, starting to fidget. "Daddy says I shouldn't show anyone."

"Show?" Vincent raised an eyebrow. "Is it a rash or something? Why can't you show me?"

"He said people would want to take me away and they would hurt me," Anna said without answering.

Vincent thought that over carefully. "Well it doesn't sound to me like you're sick." He said thoughtfully. "You know what I think? I think you're a very special little girl. Your dad is right that people might want to take you, but that doesn't make it bad. That just means there are bad people in the world."

"The police will be here soon, and they'll take you somewhere better." He puut a hand on her shoulder, trying to comfort her. "And hey, if you ever need anything, my door is always open. Alright?"

"I didn't like the new place," Anna said. "Margaret was mean, and I don't like the police."
